Cutting apparatus with sliding member

摘要

A cutting apparatus for cutting a sheet material includes a platform; a rail structure 311 secured onto the platform 30. A sliding member 32 slides along the rail structure. A pressing plate 33 disposed under the rail structure 311 engages with the sliding member 32 for pressing the sheet material against the platform 30 in response to an external force, wherein a gap 40 exists between the pressing plate 33 and the platform 30 for receiving the sheet material before the external force is exerted. An elastic member is connected with and disposed between the rail structure 311 and the pressing plate 33 to keep the gap between the pressing plate 33 and the platform 30 by a recovery force when the external force is released. A cutting member 35 is carried by the sliding member 32 for cutting the sheet material sustained on the platform 30.
