  • Sheet cutter
    Patent number: 6681667
    Abstract: A sheet cutter for cutting a sheet by shearing. The sheet cutter has a fixed blade, a movable blade which is movable along the fixed blade, and a receiving element which receives a sheet piece which is cut off from the sheet. The receiving element is structured so as to be movable together with the movable blade as the movable blade moves. The receiving element may be structured such that it is translationally movable in a direction substantially perpendicular to the moving direction of the movable blade.
