  • Publication number: 20050103179
    Abstract: A multifunction punch apparatus, which can arbitrarily set a sheet size and a punch hole number and punch accurate punch holes with right and left margins of a sheet balanced, wherein information as to the sheet size, a punching direction, and the punch hole number is input from a manipulation panel to a controller; a traveling of a timing belt on which a head is mounted is controlled by controlling a control motor disposed in a manipulation unit cover to determine a movement position of the head; a sheet inserted between a punch guide unit and a guide member is punched by moving a hole punch vertically through a gear and a punch drive gear by driving a spline shaft; and when lengths of the right and left margins of the sheet in which a predetermined number of holes are punched are different, the length of the left margin is corrected by manipulating increase/decrease switches to correct a position of a first punch hole from a left side of the sheet.

  • Publication number: 20050011324
    Abstract: This invention provides a card cutting apparatus having a function capable of reliably peeling off trash sandwiched between two rotating disc blades of a slitter cutting section of the card cutting apparatus and capable of discharging the trash outside. A tip end of a guide member having a guide surface for discharging the trash is inserted close to a second rotation shaft or boss between thin blades, thereby peeling off the trash sandwiched between the thin blades and allowing the trash to fall along the guide surface of the guide member.
