Folding system for a cutting blade

#1. Field of the Invention

#The present invention relates to a folding system of a cutting blade used in forming a folding line on a sheet matter so that the sheet matter, such a paper or plastic, etc., may be made into a predetermined shape, and more particularly to a folding system of the cutting blade being used so that cutting and folding functions associated with the cutting blade can be performed in one process.

#2. Description of the Related Art

#The preferred embodiments are described with reference to the drawings wherein:

#FIG. 1 is a block diagram for a folding system of a cutting blade according to the present invention;

#FIG. 2 is a detailed perspective view showing a guiding unit and a folding unit of the cutting blade shown in FIG. 1;

#A preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described below in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

#FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of a folding system according to the present invention. In FIG. 1, the folding system of the cutting blade comprises a transferring unit 10 for transferring the cutting blade of a roll shape, a cutting molding unit 100 for cutting and processing the transferred cutting blade in a length suitable to a sheet material molding (not shown), a guiding unit 200, positioned between the cutting molding unit 100 and a folding unit 300 for the cutting blade so as to be connected mutually, for stably guiding the cutting blade which is passed through cutting molding unit 100 to folding unit 300, the folding unit 300 positioned adjacent to the guiding unit 200, for folding the cutting blade transferred through the guiding unit 200 with a predetermined angle, and a driving unit 400 for driving the folding unit 300, and thus a process work of the cutting blade provided to a sheet material molding is performed in succession. The detailed construction and operation of the above embodiment are explained below. The above cutting molding unit 100 is applied from Japan Patent No. 80607 entitled “Multi-purpose Cutter of a Cutting Blade for Die Cutter” filed by the present applicant on Dec. 11, 1991 and incorporated by reference herein. A detailed explanation for the cutting molding unit is therefore omitted below.

#FIG. 2 is a detailed perspective view showing only a portion of the guiding unit associated with the cutting blade and the folding unit, shown schematically in FIG. 1. FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view showing only a unit “A” separated from FIG. 2. FIG. 4 is a side view shown from a direction “B” of an arrow marking of FIG. 2. The guiding unit 200 is constructed by a guide nozzle 201 of a hollow structure configured and dimensioned to stably transfer a cutting blade 500 passed through the cutting molding unit to the folding unit 300.
