<p>A device for cutting a paper or other record medium, the device being adapted for use with a printer, said device comprising a fixed cutter blade (5); a movable cutter blade (1) which is movable across the fixed cutter blade (5) so as to cut the record medium (14); a support member (2) for supporting the movable ciitter blade (1) for angular movement; a drive lever (8) for driving the movable cutter blade (1); and a power-driven member (10) for actuating the drive lever (8), characterised in that the movable cutter blade (1) has a surface (1a) which normally engages the support member (2) so that the latter acts as a fulcrum for the movable cutter blade (1), there being urging means (6) which urge the surface (1a) towards contact with the support member (2), the construction being such that the surface (1a) may move away from the support member (2) so that the latter no longer constitutes a fulcrum if an undue load (15) acts between the fixed cutter blade (5) and the movable cutter blade (1).</p> |
