Card-cutting apparatus

A card-cutting apparatus comprising:

• a lateral cutter portion to cut paper in a lateral direction at right angles with a transferring direction;
• plural slitter heads to cut the paper in the transferring direction, to conduct divisional cutting of the paper into plural cards,
• wherein the plural slitter heads are disposed in a row along a guiding rod set in the lateral direction as to be freely and manually position-adjusted in a lateral direction;
• a gauge plate for positioning of the plural slitter heads on predetermined positions in the lateral direction as to cut the paper with a predetermined card cutting lateral dimension, is provided;
• wherein the gauge plate is selected from plural kinds having different card cutting lateral dimensions to be used;
• and
• the slitter head is comprised of:
• a cutter portion to cut a waste portion of the paper into a longitudinal strip with a predetermined cutting lateral width dimension,
• a guiding member freely oscillatable up and down to guide side edge waste portions, on positions outer than longitudinal waste portions formed by the cutter portion, downward in a lower oscillation state,
• a guide operation member vertically slidable to make the lower oscillation state of the guiding member on a lower position, and
• an elastic pushing member elastically pushing the guide operation member to an upper position to keep the guiding member in a non-guiding posture of an upper oscillation state.
