Abstract: A novel sheet material cutting device comprising an elongated planar base plate including a bottom base plate surface adapted to lie on the top surface of a flat sheet of cuttable material, a top base plate surface overlying the bottom surface and spaced-apart therefrom, at least one elongated straight cutting edge between the bottom surface and the top surface and parallel to the main axis of the base plate for contact with a cutting blade during cutting of sheet material lying under the bottom base plate surface, and a trailer edge spaced-apart from the cutting edge, and a guard wall extending upward from the base plate top surface, between the cutting edge and the trailer edge and parallel to the main axis of the base plate, the wall curved toward the trailer edge to provide an ever-expanding space between the cutting edge and the guard wall as a function of height above the base plate top surface.

Abstract: An open rectangular frame covered on one side with a flexible, transparent film having releasable adhesive on the side toward the frame is laid over weeded graphic art. The film is held in place on the frame with elongated clips which slip over the four sides of the frame to capture the film. The film is then pressed down onto the graphics, lifted off of the underlying surface carrying the weeded graphics with it, and the release paper is then peeled from the graphics, leaving the graphics bonded onto the film with the exposed graphics adhesive on the side of the graphics opposite the film side. The frame is then positioned by observing through the transparent film to properly line up the graphics with the underlying display, and the film is pressed down, pressing the graphics into engagement with the underlying display panel subsequent to which the frame is removed, leaving perfectly positioned graphics in their final resting place on the display panel.
