摘要

An apparatus for cutting record medium including a rotatable cutting member (82) mounted on support means (74) coupled to a carriage (52). The cutting member (82) engages with a fixed member (90) as the carriage (52) travels along a guide path. A positive drive includes a gear cluster (76,78,80) arrangement operated by a toothed belt (68) which is stretched across the apparatus. The cutting member (82) is maintained in engagement with the fixed member (90) by means of a torsion spring (98) tending to rotate the knife and its support means (74) in one direction.
