- Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be explained. First, based on Fig. 5, a corner cutter is explained as a whole. The
movable blade 7 is fastened to the member which is in a unit with aspring receiver 16 for accepting aspring 17 and aholding portion 15 for operating themovable blade 7 into the pushing down. And, above the upper surface of the stationary blade 5 aspring holding portion 22 for holding thespring 17 is projected, and the movableblade inserting hole 8 passes through theslit 6 in such a manner as it intersects perpendicular to theslit 6. Acap 13 is covered while inserting thespring 17 between thestationary blade 5 and thespring receiver 16, by inserting theholding portion 15 in thehole 14 pierced thecap 13 and coupling thecap 13 with thestationary blade 5, thespring 17 is fixed between thestationary blade 5 and thespring receiver 16. And, when pushing theholding portion 15 projected from thehole 14 provided on thecap 13, themovable blade 7 pushed down is adapted to be lifted up by thespring 17. - On the
bottom plate 18, theguide portions 19 for guiding thecorner 102 of thepaper 1 are provided, and by inserting thecorner 102 of thepaper 1 into theslit 6 guiding it along theguide portions 19, thecorner edge 101 is positioned at an appropriate position in respect to the stationary edge 9 (Fig. 1) of thestationary blade 5. 20 is a hole for disposing the cut wastes. The cut wastes are adapted to be disposed from this hole. 21 is a cover which protects hand from touching the edge of the blade when pushing down themovable blade 7. Thisbottom plate 18 is mounted removably on the back surface of thestationary blade 5. - Figs. 6 and 7 show the assembled corner cutter in vertical section. As appeared in Figs. 6 and 7, when the
cap 13 is covered on the upper surface 181 (Fig. 5) of thebottom plate 18 so as to get in touch with the bottom end of thecap 13, agap 191 is formed due to the step of theguide portions 19. Thisgap 191 is in line with theslit 6 provided in thestationary blade 5, so that thepaper 1 can be inserted by being guided in theguide portions 19 into theslit 6. - Figs. 1 and 2 show the details of the main portion of the
movable blade 7 of Fig. 5, and in Fig. 2 showing the bottom of themovable blade 7, at the bottom end of themovable blade 7, thecircular edge 10 for cutting the corner of thepaper 1 in a rounded shape and thestraight edge 11 for cutting thecorner edge 101 of thepaper 1 are provided. The width T between the center of thecircular edge 10 and thestraight edge 11 is settled in such a manner as thecorner edge 101 of thepaper 1 projects from thestraight edge 11 when it is set along theguide portions 19 provided on thebottom plate 18 in respect to thecorner 102 of thepaper 1 and inserted in theslit 6. Further, the radius of curvature of the radius R of thecircular edge 10 of the blade is, as shown in Fig. 11, set larger than the one of the radius R1 of the circle which is tangential to thecorner 102 of thepaper 1. On the other hand, thestraight edge 11 is formed linear in this embodiment. That is, by setting R > R1, thecircular edge 10 and thecorner 102 intersects at the point P1, and as seen in Fig. 1, the front view of themovable blade 7, by making the configuration of thecircular edge 10 and thestraight edge 11 to be concave to thestationary edge 9, thepaper 1, as shown in Fig. 12, is cut from the intersection P1 (hereinafter referred to "P1") formed between thecircular edge 10 and thecorner 102 toward inside like an arrow. This cutting is carried out like a scissors which cuts a paper. Thus, by cutting thepaper 1 from P1 toward inside like an arrow, the stuffing up of thecorner 102 between themovable blade 7 and thestationary blade 5 may be prevented, and secure the cutting of the paper from the intersection P1 to make the operation lighter. - Further, as shown in Fig. 2, by projection of the
corner edge 101 from thestraight edge 11, during cutting thecorner 102 of thepaper 1 by thecircular edge 10 from the P1 to the intersection P2'(hereinafter referred to "P2'"), thestraight edge 11 has not started to cut thecorner 102, thereby the cutting load during that time becomes lighter. And when the cutting of thecircular edge 10 progresses to the P2', thestraight edge 11 starts to cut thecorner 102 from the intersection P2 (hereinafter referred to "P2") formed between thestraight edge 11 and thecorner 102. Thereby, the cutting of thecircular edge 10 and thestraight edge 11 is carried out simultaneously. That is, during the cutting the space between P2' by thecircular edge 10, thestraight edge 11 cuts the space between P2, which may cause thestraight edge 11 to hold thecorner edge 101 of the paper 1 (actually simultaneous cutting), so that thecircular edge 10 can cut the space between P2' securely. - Further, in the present embodiment the
circular edge 10 is formed semi-circular of the radius R, and linear in respect to thestraight edge 11, since theguide portions 12 can guarantee the strength, the dimension of T of Fig. 2 can be set as small as possible Thereby, the P2 can reach to the P1 at the time of cutting, the starting of holding (actually simultaneous cutting) thecorner edge 101 begins as soon as possible, and while preventing thecorner edge 101 from slipping away, thecircular edge 10 can cut the corner in the radius R more securely. - In addition, although the configuration of the
straight edge 11 is linear, by making the dimension T as small as possible as long as thecircular edge 10 and thestraight edge 11 can allow, i.e. making thestraight edge 11 approach to an arch-like having the concentric radius R' same to the center O1 of thecircular edge 10, as shown in Fig. 2, to approach P2 to P1, at an early time the holding (actually simultaneous cutting) of thecorner edge 101 can be carried out, the cutting in the radius R by thecircular edge 10 may be more secured. Further, thestraight edge 11 may be formed in a larger radius of R'', the center of which is shifted from the center 01 of the circular arch of thecircular edge 10 to 02.In that case, the configuration of thehole 8 for inserting the movable blade shown in Fig. 4 is made to the circular arch having the radius R'' of the center 02 from the radius R' of the center 01. - Thus, by both of the
circular edge 10 and the straight 11 thecorner 102 of thepaper 1 is cut, so that the escape of thecorner edge 101 from being cut is prevented, and thecorner 102 is cut in a tensioned state. Thereby, comparing this with the case in which the paper is cut only between, for instance, thecircular edge 10 and thestationary blade 9, the allowance of the clearance precision between thestationary blade 9 and, thecircular edge 10 and thestraight edge 11 can be loosened by 1/2 of the conventional one. Accordingly, the workability of thecircular edge 10, thestraight edge 11 and thestationary blade 9 becomes improved. - On both sides of the concave edge of the
circular edge 10 and thestraight edge 11, there are provided with theguide portions 12, and the length of theguide portions 12 is adapted to remain in crossing the stationary edge even when themovable blade 7 is lifted at upper most due to the elastic force of thespring 17. Thereby, thecircular edge 10 and thestraight edge 11 can cross theslit 6 smoothly, and the clearance precision between thestationary edge 9 is increased, and as shown in Fig. 9, while thecorner 102 of thepaper 1 inserted in theslit 6 is guided by theguide portions 19 provided on thebottom plate 18, the positioning precision of thepaper 1 to thecircular edge 10 is more increased. Thereby, the uneven cut of thecorner 102 of thepaper 1 in the roundness of radius R is avoided. - Fig. 4 shows the plan view of a
spring holding portion 22 of thestationary blade 5, and the configuration of the movableblade inserting hole 8 is similar to the one of themovable blade 7. Fig. 8 shows the case where apunch 23 is provided together with themovable blade 7, in which, for instance as shown in Fig. 12, the cutting of thecorner 102 in a rounded shape is carried out simultaneously with the punching apattern 103. In the case where thispunch 23 is provided, a hole which is similar to the pattern and crosses through theslit 6 perpendicularly is provided in thestationary blade 5 separately from the movableblade inserting hole 8. - The function of the present invention thus constituted will be explained next. As shown in Fig. 3, since the
corner 102 of thepaper 1 inserted in theslit 6 is adapted to be cut between thestationary blade 5, and thecircular edge 10 for cutting the corner of thepaper 1 and thestraight edge 11 for cutting thecorner edge 101 of thepaper 1, which are provided on the bottom end of themovable blade 7 crossing through thehole 8, during the cutting of thecorner 102 by thestraight edge 11, both of thecircular edge 10 and thestraight edge 11 can cut thecorner 102. Thus, simultaneously, both of thecircular edge 10 and thestraight edge 11 can cut thecorner 102, so that thecorner 102 is in the state where it is tensioned between thecircular edge 10 and thestraight edge 11, and as if thecorner edge 101 is held by thestraight edge 11, when thecorner 102 is cut in the given radius by thecircular edge 10. - Since the radius R of the
circular edge 10, in the cutting of thecorner 102 by thecircular edge 10, is made larger than the radius R1 (refer to Fig. 11) tangential to the square sides of thecorner 102, by which thecorner 102 does not bite between thecircular edge 10 and thestationary edge 9, and thecircular edge 10 is secured to cut in thecorner 102 at the P1. - Further, the movable
blade inserting hole 8 is provided by crossing laterally perpendicular to theslit 6 provided on thestationary blade 5, so that at the intersection where theslit 6 and the movableblade inserting hole 8 cross thestationary edge 9 is formed, and thecorners 102 of thepaper 1 stacked and inserted in theslit 6 are cut the corners in the same radius. - And, since the configuration of the
circular edge 10 and thestraight edge 11 of themovable blade 7 has been concave to thestationary edge 9, when themovable blade 7 is pushed down, as shown in a phantom line of Fig. 1, the corner of thepaper 1 is cut at the intersections of P1' and P1'' which are formed between thestationary edge 9, and thecircular edge 10 and thestraight edge 11 respectively, which is operated lightly like a scissors, and that, as shown in Fig. 12, thecorner 102 is cut from both sides similarly in the arrow direction, so that thepaper 1 positioned is not displaced at the time of cutting. - Since, on both sides of the concave edge of the
circular edge 10 and thestraight edge 11, theguide portions 12 are provided, as shown in Fig. 2, thecorner edge 101 can be positioned to thecircular edge 10. Further, as shown in Fig. 6, when themovable blade 7 is lifted up mostly due to the resilient force of thespring 17, theguide portions 12 are adapted to employ the length by which theguide portions 12 remain still in thestationary edge 9, thereby the clearance between thestationary edge 9, and the circular edge and thestraight edge 11 can be maintained precisely, to cut well. - As mentioned above, according to the present invention obtained from the detailed explanation based on the
claim 1, the movable blade having the circular edge for cutting the corner of the paper and the straight edge for cutting the corner edge of the paper at the bottom end is inserted in the movable blade inserting hole and adapted to cut the corner of the paper inserted in the slit between the stationary edge, and the circular edge and the straight edge. And during the cutting of the corner by the straight edge, both of the circular edge and the straight edge cut the corner, so that the corner is in the state tensioned between the circular edge and the straight edge as if the straight edge holds the corner edge, and the corner is cut in a given radius. Thereby, there is no bite of the paper, the easy handling is secured and the uneven alignment of the cut corners is disappeared. - Further, since the movable blade inserting hole is provided in such a manner as crossing laterally in a right angle direction, the stationary blade is formed at the intersection where the slit and the movable edge intersect and the stacked corners inserted in the slit are cut vertically in the same radius, the productivity is effective and there is no anxiety of displacement even if the stacked plural papers are cut, avoiding the uneven alignment of the cut corners.
- Further, since the radius R of the circular edge is larger than the radius of the circle tangential to the sides of the corner and the bite of the corner between the stationary edge and the circular edge is disappeared to secure the cutting in the corner, there is no need for taking away the stuffed corners and the handling as a business machine becomes easy and the cutting position to the corner becomes always stable to diminish the uneven alignment of the cut corners.
- Next, since, according to the present invention based on the
claim 2 obtained from the detailed explanation, the configuration of the circular edge and the straight edge, which are provided on the bottom end of the movable blade is made concave to the stationary edge and the corner can be cut lightly as if a scissors is used, the corner cutter is handled easily as a business machine and the corner can be cut from both sides similarly, which secures the corner as positioned without displacement to diminish the uneven alignment of the cut corners. - Next, since, according to the present invention based on the
claim 3 obtained from the detailed explanation, on both sides of the circular edge and the straight edge, the guide portions are provided and the straight edge is positioned to the circular edge, the positioning precision of the cut corner is increased and stable to diminish the uneven alignment of the cut corners. And, as the structure is simple, it becomes a cheap business machine, and it is sufficient to insert the papers in the slit and push down the holder, and which makes it easy to be handled as the business machine.
