Three-side trimmer

摘要

A top edge trimming cutter (11), a bottom edge trimming cutter (12) and a front edge trimming cutter (13) are arranged to have predetermined distances from one another so as not to cause mechanical interference. A frame consists of first and second frame elements (19, 20) movable relatively to each other along the direction of movement of the top edge trimming cutter (11) and the bottom edge trimming cutter (12), and a stationary third frame element (21). The top edge trimming cutter, a first table element (16), a first blade receiving plate (16a) and a first pressing plate (15a) pressing a bound material (27) against the first table element are attached to the first frame element. The bottom edge trimming cutter, a second table element (17), a second blade receiving plate (17a) and a second pressing plate (15b) pressing the bound material against the second table element are attached to the second frame element. Relative movement of the first and second frame elements effects relative movement of the top edge trimming cutter and the bottom edge trimming cutter, relative movement of corresponding first and second blade receiving plates and relative movement of corresponding first and second pressing plates. There is provided a chuck mechanism (18) gripping the bound material, and movable between at least two positions of a first cutting position, at which the bound material is cut by the top edge trimming cutter and the bottom edge trimming cutter, and a second cutting position, at which the bound material is cut by the front edge trimming cutter.
