Claim:
1. A fiber/plastic sheet product cutting-folding machine operable to cut and fold a predetermined fiber/plastic sheet product, comprising: a cutter; a rotary cutting wheel disposed adjacent to said cutter, said rotary cutting wheel including at least one cutting tool for touching said cutter to cut off said fiber/plastic sheet product during rotation of said rotary cutting wheel relative to said cutter, wherein said cutter and said at least one cutting tool each have an unserrated cutting edge; said at least one cutting tool protruding over a periphery of said rotary cutting wheel; first and second differential wheels, wherein said first differential wheel is disposed adjacent to said rotary cutting wheel for receiving each cut piece of said fiber/plastic sheet product from said rotary cutting wheel and said second differential wheel having a circumference being less than a circumference of said first differential wheel and being disposed adjacent to said first differential wheel, wherein a rotational speed of said first differential wheel is greater than a rotational speed of said second differential wheel to thereby enable two successive cut pieces of said fiber/plastic sheet product to be partially overlapped relative to each other; wherein said first differential wheel includes at least one open recess adapted for receiving said at least one cutting tool of said rotary cutting wheel during relative rotation between said first differential wheel and said rotary cutting wheel; and wherein said second differential wheel includes at least one protruding portion coinciding with the at least one open recess of the first differential wheel during relative rotation of the second differential wheel and the first differential wheel, facilitating smooth transfer of the cut piece of fiber/plastic sheet product by the first differential wheel to the second differential wheel, and a suction unit provided at each protruding portion of the second differential wheel; a first folding wheel disposed adjacent to said second differential wheel for receiving each cut piece of said fiber/plastic sheet product from said second differential wheel, said second differential wheel being disposed between said first differential wheel and said first folding wheel; and a second folding wheel disposed adjacent to said first folding wheel and rotatable relative to said first folding wheel to fold each cut piece of said fiber/plastic sheet product between said first folding wheel and said second folding wheel.
