  • Patent number: 10500750
    Abstract: A cutting apparatus includes a crop mark print controller and a front/back determiner. The crop mark print controller prints a first crop mark on a front side of a medium and then print a second crop mark over the first crop mark. The second crop mark is larger in size than the first crop mark. The front/back determiner determines that the medium is placed, with its front side facing upward, when only the second crop mark is detected by a crop mark detector, and determine that the medium is placed, with its back side facing upward, when a pattern including the first crop mark and the second crop mark overlapping one another is detected by the crop mark detector.

  • Patent number: 10471616
    Abstract: In a cutting device for cutting a round, a transparent substrate is arranged on an object to be cut. A sleeving tube is arranged on the transparent substrate. An end of a transverse rod penetrates through the sleeving rod and extends to over the object. The position of the transverse rod in the sleeving rod is adjusted by a locking member. The other end of the transverse rod is fixed to a cutting assembly. The cutting assembly selectively touches the object. A rotating assembly is combined with the transparent substrate and penetrates through the transparent substrate. When the rotating assembly is pressed to touch the object and the rotating assembly rotates on the object to rotate the transparent substrate, the transverse rod moves the cutting assembly to perform a round-cutting operation on the object or paint a round line on the object.

  • Patent number: 10391652
    Abstract: The invention provides a razor cartridge with multiple blades and peg(s) or pegged support members that aid in the control of the blades by restricting fore and aft blade movement, which in turn, reduces the amplitude of blade deflection and/or vibration during shaving. This reduction provided by the pegs improves shaving performance. Blades rest between pegs which are rounded or shaped such that the blade bottom portion contacts the peg at one point, forming a single line of contact. The pegs may be in a slalom-like, linear (with one or more peg columns), or offset arrangement. Pegs or pegged support members may be at any location of the razor blade assembly; for instance, at the center and/or at blade slot ends. Pegs may each be of different shapes and may or may not be equidistant or at the same heights as each other, depending on blade spans and exposures.

    Abstract: A shaving and grooming apparatus includes a handle and a cartridge attached to the handle. A plurality of upper blades are positioned in the cartridge, where at least some of the plurality of upper blades include curved tips with a curvature that sufficient to prevent the curved tips from contact a cutting surface during use. A plurality of lower blades is positioned adjacent to the plurality of upper blades in the cartridge, where at least some of the plurality of lower blades comprises curved tips with a curvature that sufficient to prevent the curved tips from contact a cutting surface during cutting. At least one of the plurality of upper and the plurality of lower blades has a thickness and flexibility that results in deflection during cutting that increases effectiveness of cutting action. A drive motor moves the plurality of upper blades relative to the plurality of lower blades.
