Patent ID: 6840146

Claim:
A rotary torsion cutting apparatus, comprising: a first plate member having a front face, a back face and a side face, the first plate member includes a central axis and a first opening extending from the front face to the back face of the first plate member, the first opening is shaped and dimensioned for receiving an article to be cut by the rotary torsion cutting apparatus; a second plate member having a front face, a back face and a side face, the second plate member includes a central axis aligned with the central axis of the first plate member and a second opening extending from the front face to the back face of the second plate member, the second opening is shaped and dimensioned for receiving an article to be cut by the rotary torsion cutting apparatus, wherein the second plate member is rotationally supported upon the first plate member for rotation relative thereto about a complete revolution; the first opening and the second opening are of substantially the same shape and are aligned for simultaneous positioning of an article within both the first opening and the second opening; and wherein relative movement between the first plate member and the second plate member causes a torsion cutting of an article positioned within the first opening and the second opening.
