Patent ID: 8459887

Claim:
A cutter device comprising: a cutter configured to cut a material to be cut, the material including an upstream part and a downstream part after cutting the material to be cut into parts; a carriage having the cutter and moving in a widthwise direction with respect to a feeding direction of the material to be cut; and a guide unit configured to guide the carriage in the widthwise direction, wherein, assuming that the movement of the carriage when the cutter cuts the material to be cut is an outward route, the guide unit is configured to change a posture of the carriage such that a homeward route of the cutter of the carriage is different from the outward route of the cutter, wherein the change in the posture shifts the homeward route of the cutter of the carriage from the outward route toward the downstream part which moves first in a direction away from the upstream part in the feeding direction after the cutting.
