Abstract: A device for cutting open a discharge nozzle on a capsule containing a plastic mastic has a pair of elongated levers pivotally connected together adjacent first ends of the levers so that the levers are pivotally movable between an open position and a cutting position. One lever mounts a cutter and the other lever has a support bore aligned with the cutter in the cutting position. In the open position a discharge nozzle is inserted through the support bore extending toward the one lever and then the levers are pressed at the second ends into the cutting position whereby the cutter at least partially severs the nozzle. If necessary, the cut can be completed by rotating the device about the previously cut part of the nozzle.

Abstract: An accessory for use in conjunction with a radial saw for preventing buildup of sawdust on a main table adjacent a fence of said radial saw, the accessory table includes a table member having an upper and a lower surface. The table member comprising a grid structure having a plurality of apertures allowing communication from the upper to the lower surface. The apertures are situated between an array of rigid supporting beam-like members. The apertures are adequately large to permit easy passage of sawdust therethrough and the supporting members make up a very small portion of the upper surface of the table member so that accumulation of sawdust on the upper surface is minimized. Preferably, the supporting members are tapered near the upper surface so that upper surface area is minimized. The supporting members are made of plastic or other readily sawable material.

In the second embodiment a compression spring is employed in conjunction with a cam which releases the hammer head upon full compression of the spring.

Abstract: A versatile, space-efficient rotary sheeter including a pair of roll assemblies synchronously driven and rotating at web speed. Each assembly carries cooperating revolving cutter rolls and backup slot rolls staggered on opposed supporting roll assemblies and being readily shiftable, through gearing, between time-controlled operative and inoperative phasing modes for conveniently converting a moving web of roll stock of sheet material into cut segments of selectable lengths. The apparatus is physically fixed in place during operation and operates without any need for an accumulation loop in the moving web. The sheeter is readily adjustable, easily maintained, and has enhanced safety features. It operates over a wide range of adjustable speeds to accommodate web stock of various compositions and thickness.

Abstract: A percussion tool has a frame in which a percussion element is fitted such that it can move axially by a small distance and in which a hammer for hitting the percussion element is supported axially movably. The hammer is moved toward a standby position by a supply of a high pressure thereto, while forming a negative pressure acting on the hammer to force it toward a percussion position and, in the standby position, the high pressure is released to allow the hammer to move toward the percussion position by the negative pressure.

Abstract: A sales and credit transaction slip pack with duplicating paper between credit slips is provided. A jagged line of perforations is cut into the duplicating paper at a prescribed position. This position can be such as to obscure an account number and the signature or any other desired combination. When the sales clerk separates copies of the transaction slips the duplicating paper is simultaneously torn and the opportunity for fraud against the purchaser is substantially reduced.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus for splicing a belt which includes a base to which the belt end is mounted, a holding device which is slidably mounted to move in a direction oblique to the longitudinal direction of elongation of the belt and cutting member means mounted on the holding device. In the preferred embodiment, the cutting member comprises a knife which may be attached to the holding device in one of two orientations, a first orientation of which is designed to enable the knife to trim off the belt end, and the second orientation of which is designed to enable the knife to split the belt end between the plies thereof. In the second orientation, the holding device includes a stepped configuration allowing the knife to be clamped at any one of a number of different elevations so that the splitting procedure may accurately be carried out between the desired plies.

Abstract: A slim knife unit includes a guide member having an L-shaped body which supports an elongated fluid actuator comprising a piston connected by piston rods to a base member having a sliding track connection to a removable knife holder. The knife holder has spaced walls defining a slot which receives a circular knife supported by a bearing mounted on a spacer bushing clamped between the walls by a center support screw. The guide member has a linear track which cooperates with the rods to guide the knife holder, and a releasable latch secures the knife holder to the base member. The guide member also has a linear track which guides a clamp member movable by a screw for securing the knife unit to a support bar.

Abstract: A folding pocket knife substantially including a handle, a blade retaining lever and a blade. The blade is pivotally held in the handle wherein the engagement between a holding lever and the base of the blade, which keeps the blade out of the handle, is released by depressing the press area of the lever. The press area of the lever is covered with soft and pliable material that can be moved downward together with the press area so that the disengagement between the retaining lever and the blade can be made without pain to the finger. The whole body of the handle is covered with the soft and pliable material, but the handle may be formed with hard material except the portion over the press area so that only this portion is covered with the soft and pliable material.
