With Means To Check On Tool Actuation Patents (Class 234/33)
  • Patent number: 9931758
    Abstract: A plastic film punching apparatus is improved to make a waste removed reliably. In the apparatus, a plastic film is sandwiched between and punched by male and female blades. The female blade has opposite surfaces which are first and second surfaces. The plastic film generates a waste which is pushed by the male blade to protrude from the second surface. A vacuum source and an opening cooperate with each other to suck air through the opening and generate airflow within the tubular cover, the waste being removed by the airflow.

  • Patent number: 4574669
    Abstract: A power sheet punching apparatus is provided in which a reversing drive operates initially to drive punches through a stack of sheets and thereafter to reverse direction of the drive to withdraw the punches from the sheets. Should the drive be insufficient to drive the punches through the sheets and a jam occurs, an automatic timer operates to thereafter stop the drive and reverse the drive to withdraw the punches from the sheets, thereby providing an automatic non-jamming punch mechanism.
