Abstract
A jogger is provided for aligning carton blanks die cut from a sheet supported on inner grid mounted to an outer frame for a lower blanking tool of a carton die cutting machine. The jogger includes a plate member defining inner and outer faces. The plate member having a recess formed therein and a bore extending between the inner face and the outer face along an axis at an acute angle to the outer face. A jogger element is positioned within the recess and is movable between a retracted position and an extended position. A fastening element extends through the bore through the plate member and is receivable in a corresponding slot in the outer frame to interconnect the plate member to the outer frame.

A lower blanking tool frame assembly of a carton die cutting machine, said lower blanking tool frame assembly having a frame member, comprising:
- an elongated rail having a generally rectangular cross-section, the rail including an upper surface, a lower surface, an outer surface and an inner surface perpendicular to the upper and lower surfaces, intersecting the upper surface at an upper corner, intersecting the lower surface at a lower corner, and having a generally flat portion, and
- said rail having a bolt-receiving T-shaped slot formed therein, said slot opening to the generally flat portion of said inner surface at a location spaced from the upper and lower corners and defining a downwardly extending axis disposed at an acute angle with respect to the generally flat portion of said inner surface.
A lower blanking tool frame assembly of a carton die cutting machine, said lower blanking tool frame assembly having a frame member, comprising:
- an elongated rail having an upper surface, a lower surface, an outer surface and an inner surface, the inner surface intersecting the lower surface at a lower corner and including first and second generally flat portions separated by a ledge parallel to the upper surface and the lower surface;
- and
- the rail having a bolt-receiving T-shaped slot formed therein opening to the first portion of the inner surface at a location between the lower corner and the ledge, the slot extending along a downwardly extending axis disposed at a acute angle with respect to first portion of the inner surface.
