    摘要: The present invention relates to an oscillating assembly for pivoting a blanking die that is constructed and arranged to cut blanks from sheet material. The oscillating assembly comprises a die supporting structure that pivots about a pivot axis. The die supporting structure receives and supports the die such that the sheet material can be fed into the die in a feeding direction and such that the pivoting of the die supporting structure pivots the die relative to the sheet material. A reversible rotary driving assembly rotates a rotatable output shaft in opposing first an second rotational directions. A linearly movable die driver is operatively connected to the output shaft such that (a) rotating the shaft in the first rotational direction thereof moves the die driver generally linearly in a first die driving direction and (b) rotating the shaft in the second rotational direction thereof moves the die driver generally linearly in a second die driving direction opposite the first die driving direction. The die driver is operatively connected to the die supporting structure such that (a) moving the die driver in the first die driving direction thereof as aforesaid pivots the die supporting structure to a first cutting position wherein the blanking die can cut a first blank from the sheet material fed therein and (b) after cutting the first blank and advancing the sheet material relative to the die in the feeding direction, moving the die driver in the second die driving direction thereof as aforesaid pivots the die supporting structure to a second cutting position wherein the blanking die can cut a second blank from the sheet material.

    摘要: An apparatus for cutting an indefinite length suture strand to uniform lengths for subsequent threading and swaging to a surgical needle includes a drawing tower having at least one guide member defining a drawing axis parallel thereto. First and second gripping devices are provided to grip the indefinite length suture strand and draw it along the drawing axis; each gripping device mounted for reciprocal movement on at least one guide member. A retractable cutter for cutting the indefinite length article is also provided for cutting the strand at a start position along the drawing axis. The indefinite length suture strand is fed to the drawing axis and drawn a predetermined distance beyond the location of the retractable cutter for positioning within a suture receiving opening formed in the surgical needle, while the second gripping device reciprocates to a start position along the drawing axis. The indefinite length suture strand is then inserted within the suture receiving opening of the needle and cut to a predetermined length by the retractable cutter after the second gripping means has gripped the indefinite length suture strand at the start position.
