Patent ID: 7392731

Claim:
A paper cutter of a force cutting type comprising: a first blade having a linear cutting edge; and a second blade arranged opposite to the edge of the first blade, said second blade slantingly juts from a center thereof toward an outside end in a direction of the edge of the first blade so as to form a substantially V-shaped cutting edge, wherein the second blade includes a pair of right and left edges, and the second blade is reciprocally movable forward and backward with respect to the first blade by a driving member, wherein the second blade further comprises: a lateral slit substantially perpendicular to a reciprocating direction of the second blade; a division slit in communication with the lateral slit, wherein a backward side of the lateral slit is served as a base, a pair of right and left elastic pieces provided on a forward side of the lateral slit, said right and left elastic pieces are configured to bring the edges of the first and second blades into pressure contact with each other, and an inclination member for inclining each elastic piece so that each edge of the second blade is brought into point contact with the edge of the first blade, and wherein, at the time of the forward movement of the second blade, both the right and left edges of the second blade make pressure contact with the first blade while inclining towards one another so as to cut a paper between both the left and right edges of the second blade and the linear cutting edge of the first blade.
