Abstract

See full text

A cutting apparatus for separating a series of an indeterminate number of end-to-end connected bag packages into groups of a predetermined number of end-to-end connected bag packages includes a first rotary member including a knife; a second rotary member including a countersupport having an outer surface contacting the knife upon each revolution thereof, whereby a transverse seam connecting two adjoining bag packages and momentarily situated between the knife edge and the outer surface is cut. The outer surface is provided with a depression. The apparatus further has a shifting mechanism for shifting the rotary knife and the countersupport relative to one another into first and second positions. In the first position the knife passes across the depression for leaving a length portion of the knife out of contact with the outer surface, whereby the transverse seam remains uncut along the length portion to preserve a connecting web between the two adjoining bag packages. In the second position the knife is offset relative to the depression for allowing the knife to be throughout in contact with the outer surface, whereby the transverse seam is severed and the two adjoining bag packages are separated from one another.
