Patent number: 9186807Abstract: A device for forming a pattern in a sheet of material is provided. The device includes a base having a detent portion and a locating portion that provides a first position, a platform moveably coupled to the base, and a punch supported by the platform and configured to move between a reset position and a depressed position. The platform includes a detent element configured to engage the detent portion when the platform is proximate the first position and a locating element configured to provide fine location of the platform in the first position relative to the base by engaging the locating portion. The punch forms a pattern in a sheet of material when the punch moves from the reset position to the depressed position and a sheet of material is present proximate the depressed position.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 2012Date of Patent: November 17, 2015Assignee: Fiskars Brands, Inc.Inventors: Michael D. Wallom, Daniel Cunningham, Colin Roberts, Daniel J. Lipscomb, Douglas Nelson, Andrew P. Block, Scott Roelke

Patent number: 8826817Abstract: A system for cutting, inking, and debossing sheet material located between a die and a cutting plate is provided. The system includes a die having a support defining an opening, a blade positioned adjacent to the support and defining a cutting edge, a debossing plate configured to cause one or more indentations in the sheet material and including a first side and a second side located substantially opposite the first side, the first side having a raised pattern defined thereon, and at least one pin configured to extend through the opening in the support and to move between a first position and a second position. When the at least one pin is in the first position, the debossing plate is supported by the support, and when the at least one pin is in the second position, the debossing plate is supported by the at least one pin.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2011Date of Patent: September 9, 2014Assignee: Fiskars Brands, Inc.Inventors: Andrew P. Block, Scott Roelke, Lisa Painter

Patent number: 8381623Abstract: A material cutting system for trimming sheet material having a base, a blade engageable with the sheet material along a cut line and a material guide including an illuminated surface indicative of the location of the cut line. In one set of embodiments, an illuminating assembly produces light that is internally transmitted through a light guide portion of the material guide to the illuminated surface. The illuminated surface provides for ready and correct orientation of the sheet material to the desired position for cutting by the material trimmer.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2009Date of Patent: February 26, 2013Assignee: Fiskars Brands, Inc.Inventors: Andrew P. Block, Douglas R. Nelson, Joshua D. Hatch, Scott Roelke

Publication number: 20100236209Abstract: An non-contact type reel mower includes a reel having a high rotational inertia, and a cutting gap adjustment system. The reel includes an axle, a plurality of blades helically disposed about the axis at a radial distance from the axis, and a blade support member coupling the blades to the axle, in a manner that locates a majority of the mass of the reel at a location as far from the axle as possible, while still fitting within the size constraints of a standard size mower package. The cutting gap adjustment system includes carrier plates having a forward end pivotally coupled at a forward end of the mower, and a mid portion that supports or carries the reel and a rearward end that is coupled to the mower chassis by an adjustment device. The plates operate as levers pivoting about the pivot points to raise and lower the reel relative to a fixed bedknife to adjust the cutting gap when the adjustment device is actuated at the rearward end of the plates.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 14, 2009Publication date: September 23, 2010Inventors: David L. Vaughan, Scott Roelke
