Rotary cutting die for cutting corrugated board having product ejectors configured to separate die cut product without crushing flutes in the corrugated board
A rotary cutting die for cutting corrugated board to form a die cut product including one or more product ejectors that are specifically configured to avoid crushing the flutes of the die cut product.
A rotary cutting die apparatus is provided for die cutting corrugated board. The apparatus comprises a die board having one or more openings formed therein. A product ejector is secured in the one or more openings for engaging a portion of a die cut product and separating the die cut product from the cutting die. Each product ejector comprises compressible material and includes a main body and one or more tabs integral with the main body or operatively associated with the main body, wherein the tabs are secured to the openings or to another portion of the die board.
A rotary cutting die including a curved die board having a series of product ejector openings formed completely through the die board. Secured to an inner surface of the die board is a substrate. A series of product ejectors are secured to the substrate and project therefrom through the product ejector openings and past an outer surface of the die board. These product ejectors function to engage a portion of a die cut product passing through the nip and exert a force on the die cut product which assists in separating the die cut product from the rotary cutting die.
A rotary cutting die apparatus for die cutting corrugated board. The apparatus comprises a die board having one or more opening formed therein. Inserts are seated and secured in the openings. Product ejectors for ejecting die cut product are adhered or otherwise secured to the inserts that are in turn secured within the openings in the die board.

A rotary cutting die for cutting corrugated board includes a die board having an opening therein. Extending through the opening is a cutting or scoring rule. Secured within the opening is one or more inserts that support one or more product ejectors for assisting in separating a die cut product from the cutting die.

A rotary cutting die apparatus for cutting and perforating corrugated board comprises a die board having one or more perforating rules. The perforating rule includes a series of spaced apart perforating segments disposed along one edge of the rule. Each perforating segment includes opposed angled shoulders that reduce or minimize the tendency of the corrugated board from becoming hung-up or held on the perforating segments when the perforating segments penetrate the corrugated board to form perforations therein.

PERFORATED FLEXOGRAPHIC PRINTING PLATES AND METHODS FOR MAKING AND USING THEM
The various inventions and/or their various aspects disclosed herein relate to novel photosensitive flexographic plates comprising a plurality of perforations dispersed over and interconnecting the base layer surfaces of the photosensitive flexographic plates. The novel perforations in the base layers give unexpected advantages as compared to photosensitive flexographic plates without such perforations, such as the ability to very significantly speed up the normally slow drying and removal of solvents absorbed into imaged flexographic plates that have been prepared by photo-imaging the novel photosensitive flexographic plates of the invention, via known and widely used processes that employ solvent treatments of the imaged plates.
An apparatus configured to cooperate with a rotating anvil to cut corrugated board comprises a rotary cutting die configured to rotate in one direction and to cooperate with the anvil to cut corrugated board. The cutting die includes a base and at least one scrap cutting blade and a scrap stripper that comprises one or more fingers that project from the base at an incline and which is slanted forwardly in the direction of rotation of the cutting die for stripping cut scrap pieces of corrugated board from the blade.
A scoring or cutting assembly forms a part of a cutting die used to score and cut corrugated board. The scoring or cutting assembly includes a cutting or scoring rule secured to a die board. First and second elastomers are secured on the die board such that the scoring or cutting rule extends between the elastomers and there is defined a space between the scoring or cutting rule in each of the elastomers. There is also provided a pair of retainers, each retainer being secured to the die board adjacent an outboard side of the elastomers. During a cutting or scoring operation, the elastomers engage the corrugated board on opposite sides of the scoring or cutting rule and apply and inward force to the corrugated board towards the scoring or cutting rule. This causes the corrugated board to resist cracking on opposite sides of the scoring or cutting rule.
A rotary cutting die assembly is provided that includes a die cylinder, an anvil, and a die board mounted to the die cylinder. The die board includes a series of trim cutting blades. Disposed on the outside of each trim cutting blade is a trim stripper. Secured to the die board adjacent the outside of the trim strippers is a series of retainers that generally retain the trim strippers between trip cutting blades and the retainers. This generally prevents cut pieces of trim from being packed and wedged into a gap between the trim cutting blades and the trim strippers.
