Abstract: A cutting method and apparatus for closures of the “tethered” type are disclosed, in which a spindle that carries a closure is moved to a cutting device with one or more horizontal blades and at least one vertical or oblique blade. During cutting, the spindle rotates and the closure rolls on the cutting device. The spindle, which is fed several times to the cutting device carrying each time a different closure, comprises a portion made of a softer material than the blades so that during cutting the blades penetrate the material of the closure and then sink into the softer portion of the spindle. Feeding the spindle that carries the closure to the cutting device is coordinated with rotation of the spindle so that the vertical or oblique blade, each time that the spindle is fed to the cutting device, always meets the same zone of the softer portion of the spindle.

Abstract: A cutting apparatus and method are disclosed for making a tamper device of a closing capsule, in which the capsule is fed to a cutting device on which simultaneously a first force is exerted that maintains a cutting portion of the device in an operative cutting position and a second force that would tend to make the cutting portion retreat to a safety position, the first force being greater than the second force and in which in the event of an anomalous situation like an interruption to an electric power supply, the first force is reduced so that the second force can exceed the first force and move the cutting portion to the safety position.

Abstract: An apparatus for cutting capsules is disclosed as including an engaging portion rotatable together with a spindle, the engaging portion including an axially protruding projection for abutting on an inner protrusion of the cap in a circumferential direction, and a contact surface for abutting an inner central region of the cap, the contact surface and the abutting surface being movable to take a phased angular orientation configuration with respect to a cutting device for cutting caps and an axial holding configuration.
A cap is disclosed in which the inner protrusion has a preset angular position with respect to a circumferential score on a side wall of the cap.
A method for cutting a cap is disclosed including the steps of: leading the projection to a circumferential abutment on the protrusion, leading the contact surface to an axial abutment against the inner central region, and scoring the cap by means of the cutting device.
