Date Aug. 27, 1987.A cutting device for cutting a block of tobacco includes a rotatable support and guide structure mounted for rotation about an axis disposed at an angle to the direction of advance of the block of tobacco. A plurality of movable blade carrier elements are mounted on the support guide structure with each element carrying a cutting blade adapted to intersect and penetrate the block of tobacco. Each carrier element is axially movable independently of the other carrier elements and is pressed against a stationary cam member by a thrust member. Upon rotation of the support and guide structure, each blade carrier reciprocates in response due to engagement with the cam member.</p> |
