Spot Presser Assembly

A presser assembly for supporting carton blanking scrap, comprising:

• a housing including an inner surface defining a cavity, a closed end and an open end communicating with the cavity;
• an intermediate plunger telescopically received in the cavity of the housing and being movable between a first retracted position wherein the intermediate plunger is at least substantially received with the cavity in the housing and an extended position wherein the intermediate plunger projects from the open end of the housing, the intermediate plunger having:
• an outer wall having an outer surface forming a slidable interface with the inner surface of the housing and an inner surface;
• an inner wall having an outer surface and an inner surface defining a passage extending through the intermediate plunger, the outer surface of the inner wall and the inner surface of the outer wall defining a spring receipt cavity;
• a presser plunger telescopically received in the passage of the intermediate plunger, the presser plunger slidable between a retracted position wherein the presser plunger is at least substantially received with the passage of the intermediate plunger and an extended position wherein the presser plunger projects from the passage of the intermediate plunger;
• a first spring having a first end abutting the closed end of the housing and a second end receiving within the spring receipt cavity, the first spring biasing the intermediate plunger toward the extended position;
• and
• a second spring having a first end operatively engaged with intermediate plunger and a second end operatively engaged with the presser plunger, the second spring biasing the presser plunger toward the extended position.

A spot presser assembly supporting carton blanking scrap, comprising:

• a housing;
• an intermediate plunger telescopically received in the housing, the intermediate plunger movable between a retracted position and an extended position;
• a presser plunger telescopically received in the intermediate plunger, the presser plunger movable between a retracted position and an extended position;
• a first biasing structure biasing the intermediate plunger toward the extended position;
• and
• a second biasing structure biasing the presser plunger toward its extended position;
• wherein the first and second biasing structures are concentric with the intermediate plunger and the presser plunger in the retracted positions.
