Abstract: A laminator to laminate a film on a support, sheet-shaped in particular. A fixed roller operates together with an upper pressure roller and a lower pressure roller, which can be placed selectively on the fixed roller by means of a shifting device. In this manner, the laminator has a supply of two different film materials for selective application onto the support as needed.

Abstract: A process and a device are described for one- or two-sided stripping of protective films from board-shaped objects, whereby the protective film is first raised at the leading edge of the circuit board and guided to a takeup reel via a transport mechanism. To assure that the stripping moment of the protective films on the circuit boards is as slight as possible, provision is made that the edge of the protective film is first scratched with extensible hollow needles and raised with a blast of air and that, in the course of the continuing advance of the circuit board, the protective film is lifted onto plate-shaped guide blades and transported away.

Abstract: A cutter reciprocatingly drivable in opposite directions and adapted to co-operate with the shear foil of a dry-shaving apparatus comprises support means and a plurality of pairs of arcuate cutter lamellae mounted on such support means. The distance between the two cutter lamellae of each pair is smaller than the distance between either cutter lamella of such pair and the adjacent cutter lamella of the adjacent pair at the location of the top of the cutter lamellae. The two cutter lamellae of each pair respectively include angular portions oriented towards each other at the location of the top of the cutter lamellae, the angular portions of the two cutter lamellae of each pair being urged against each other under pre-load.
