Apparatus for cutting a medium

摘要

The present invention is related to a cutting head for cutting two-dimensional information out of a recording medium. The cutting head includes a motor, a tool base for retaining a first cutter, the tool base supporting the first cutter to be freely displaceable along a first axis, wherein the first cutter is displaced toward or away from a recording medium along the first axis; a fixed base for slidably supporting displacement of the tool base along the first axis; a displacing mechanism for displacing a link member along the first axis to displace the tool base along the first axis, the displacing mechanism driven by the motor; a first elastic member for coupling the link member with the tool base; and a second elastic member for coupling the tool base with the fixed base.

1. A cutting head for cutting two-dimensional information out of a recording medium, the cutting head comprising:
a motor; a tool base for retaining and supporting a first cutter such that the first cutter is freely displaceable toward or away from the recording medium along a first axis; a fixed base for slidably supporting displacement of the tool base along the first axis; a displacing mechanism driven by the motor for displacing a link member along the first axis in order to displace the tool base along the first axis; a first elastic member for coupling the link member with the tool base; and a second elastic member for coupling the tool base with the fixed base, wherein the second elastic member is a tensile coil spring having a spring constant enabling the tool base to be upwardly displaced away from the recording medium along the first axis.
