Cutting device for metal foil

A cutting device for metal foil, comprising:

• a lower blade;
• an upper blade engageable with the lower blade, and
• a first holding device having a larger friction coefficient than that of the lower blade, the first holding device provided on the lower blade in a manner to interpose between the lower blade and the metal foil placed thereon;
• and
• an upper die comprising:
• an upper holder;
• an upper blade engageable with the lower blade, the upper blade being vertically movable with respect to the upper holder;
• a pad holder, the pad holder having a first side facing the upper holder and a second side facing the lower blade, the pad holder elastically supported by the upper holder at the first side;
• a pressing member for pressing the metal foil against the lower blade before cutting, the pressing member connected to the pad holder at the second side;
• and
• a second holding device provided on the pressing member and having a larger friction coefficient than that of the pressing member, the second holding device interposes between the pressing member and the metal foil to be pressed by the pressing member,
• wherein the first holding device and the second holding device are disposed vertically opposite to each other,
• wherein the cutting device is adapted to cut metal foil placed on the lower blade by a shearing action based on the engagement of the lower blade and the upper blade.
