  • Pin for Pin Ejector System for a Rotary Cutting Die Arrangement and Associated Methods
    Publication number: 20170100851
    Abstract: A pin may be arranged in a hole located on an outer diameter surface of a cylinder of a rotary die cutting arrangement. The pin proximal end may be received in the hole and the pin distal end may project from an outer surface of the cylinder. The pin proximal end has a boss. The pin has a longitudinal slit extending from the proximal end toward the distal end. The slit has a width and length dimensioned to provide the proximal end with sufficient resiliency to allow the proximal end to be compressed to a position where the boss of the pin proximal end has a diameter less than the diameter of the hole to allow the boss to pass through the hole, and release to a position where the diameter of the boss is greater than the hole diameter to retain the pin in the hole.
