Rolled product dispenser with multiple cutting blades and cutter assembly for a rolled product dispenser

A rolled product dispenser for dispensing a web of rolled product having a web width, the rolled product dispenser comprising:

• a housing;
• a rotating drum at least partially housed in the housing and having a drum length delimited by two opposed drum ends;
• and
• at least two longitudinally extending cutting blades at least partially contained in the rotating drum, each one of the at least two longitudinally extending cutting blades being pivotally mounted inside the rotating drum to be configurable between a non-cutting configuration and a cutting configuration, each one of the at least two longitudinally extending cutting blades having a pivotal end mounted to the rotating drum, a distal end movable along a path inside the housing for configuring the at least two longitudinally extending cutting blades repeatedly in the non-cutting configuration and the cutting configuration, and a cutting edge provided between the pivotal and distal ends, wherein the pivotal end of a first one of the at least two longitudinally extending cutting blades is located adjacent to one of the two drum ends and opposed longitudinally to the pivotal end of a second one of the at least two longitudinally extending cutting blades located adjacent to the other one of the drum ends,
• wherein the cutting edges are configured to cooperate to perforate engage the web along the web width along a same cut-line.

A cutting assembly for a rolled product web having a web width, the cutting assembly comprising:

• a rotating drum having a drum length;
• and
• at least two longitudinally extending cutting blades at least partially contained in the rotating drum, each one of the at least two longitudinally extending cutting blades having a pivotal end and a distal end with a cutting edge provided between the pivotal and distal ends and being pivotally mountable and configurable between a non-cutting configuration and a cutting configuration, the pivotal end of each one of the at least two longitudinally extending cutting blades being pivotally mounted to the rotating drum and independently of the other one of the at least two longitudinally extending cutting blades, the distal end of each one of the at least two longitudinally extending cutting blades being movable along a closed loop path for displacing the respective one of the at least two longitudinally extending cutting blades between the non-cutting configuration and the cutting configuration,
• wherein the pivotal end of a first one of the at least two longitudinally extending cutting blades is opposed longitudinally to the pivotal end of a second one of the at least two longitudinally extending cutting blades, and
• wherein the cutting edges are configured to cooperate to engage the web along the web width and along a same cut-line.

A cutting assembly for a rolled product having a web width, the cutting assembly comprising:

• a rotating drum having a drum length;
• at least two longitudinally extending cutting blades at least partially contained in the rotating drum, each one of the at least two longitudinally extending cutting blades having a pivotal end and a distal end, opposed to the pivotal end, with a cutting edge provided between the pivotal and distal ends;
• and
• a guiding assembly,
• wherein the at least two longitudinally extending cutting blades overlap each other longitudinally along at least a section thereof, the pivotal end being pivotally mounted to the rotating drum, and the distal end being operationally engaged with the guiding assembly for configuring the at least two longitudinally extending cutting blades between a non-cutting configuration in which the at least two longitudinally extending cutting blades are spaced-apart from the rolled product and a cutting configuration in which the at least two longitudinally extending cutting blades are engaged with the rolled product and configured to cooperate to engage the web along the web width and along a same cut-line.
