  • Patent number: 4905554
    Abstract: An improvement in cutters used in the field of paper manufacturing consisting in that the support-bearing for the knife is connected to a raising and lowering device through a structure elastically deformable and able to impart elastically opposing movements to the knife. These movements are essentially motions of torsion which allow compound movements thereby providing continuous engagement between the knives and the counter knives during rotation. Said elastic structure consists of at least one rectangularly shaped elongated blade formed of steel.

  • Patent number: 4823665
    Abstract: The device for positioning the blade cutting edge and intermittently lowering the blade cutting edge includes: a fixed structure comprising two chambers and a central moving rod; two pistons with stems, the pistons moving within the chambers. One of the pistons is opposed by a spring. The blade carrier is hinged at the end of the moving rod and is fixed to the piston stem opposed by the spring and slides along the stem of the other piston. Pressurized fluid is introduced into the chambers by a line provided with a first valve. A second valve intermittently varies the pressure applied to the piston opposed by the spring.
