Abstract
The present invention relates to a film cutter assembly in which a blade housing slides bilaterally along a pair of rails. The blade housing houses a blade. An elongated rail base is coupled or integral with a pair of rails. The rails are formed of a material which provides an attractive or adhesion property to attract the film to the rail and maintain the film in flat position before and after cutting. A double-side adhesive tape can be applied to a surface of the elongated rail base which is adapted for attaching the elongated rail base to a carton of film.
Claims39
A film cutter apparatus comprising:
- an elongated rail base;
- at least one rail formed at a top surface of said elongated rail base;
- a blade housing for housing a blade, said blade housing bilaterally slidable along said at least one rail;
- and
- a portion of at least one of said rails being formed of a first material having attractive properties adapted for attracting film to said at least one rails.
A film cutter apparatus comprising:
- at least one rail;
- a blade housing for housing a blade, said blade housing bilaterally slidable along said rails;
- and
- a portion of at least one of said rails being formed of a first material having attractive properties adapted for attracting film to said rails.
A film cutter apparatus comprising:
- at least one rail;
- a blade housing for housing a blade, said blade housing bilaterally slidable along said rails;
- a portion of at least one of said rails being formed of a first material having attractive properties adapted for attracting film to said rails;
- and
- an adhesive layer adhered to said elongated rail base on a surface opposite of said rails.
A film cutter apparatus comprising:
- an elongated rail base;
- a pair of rails formed at a top surface of said elongated rail base;
- a blade housing for housing a blade, said blade housing bilaterally slidable along said rails;
- and
- a portion of at least one of said rails being formed of a first material which provides a positive charge to film received over said at least one rail.
A film cutter apparatus comprising:
- an elongated rail base;
- a pair of rails formed at a top surface of said elongated rail base;
- a portion of at least one of said rails being formed of a first material having attractive properties adapted for attracting film to said rails;
- and
- a blade housing for housing a blade, said blade housing bilaterally slidable along said rails, said blade housing is formed of an upper portion and a lower portion, said upper portion of said blade housing said blade, said lower portion of said blade housing slidably moving in said channel, wherein said lower portion of said blade housing snap fits into said protrusion.
