A cutter wheel is provided having a plurality of spokes thereon interfitting with successive apertures in a continuous strip of plastic material assembled with cans, such as beverage cans, and having spaced cutting blades thereon for severing the plastic strip at spaced intervals to produce discreet packages, i.e., "six packs". The wheel is driven by the strip and overlies the strip, lying in a plane parallel to the direction of motion of the strip and assembled can. Each spoke is offset from a radial position so that a spoke is upstream from a radial line perpendicular to the strip when such spoke reaches a vertical position perpendicular to the strip for the associated cutter to effect its cut. |
