The patent US12030208B2 describes a cutting device specifically designed for cutting rounded corners from film web packaging. Central to this device is a cutting punch that features a body extending along a longitudinal axis, characterized by at least one concavity on its circumference. The inner surface of the cutting punch includes a cone-shaped depression aligned with the longitudinal axis, which, when combined with the concavity, creates a contoured cutting edge that extends three-dimensionally. The design allows for a star-shaped cutting contour in the cutting plane, enhancing the device's efficiency in producing precise cuts. Additionally, the cutting punch can have multiple tips configured in both transverse and longitudinal directions, with these tips converging along the cutting edge.

Furthermore, the patent outlines the integration of this cutting device within a thermoforming packaging machine, which includes various stations such as forming, sealing, and cutting. The transverse cutting station of this machine incorporates the described cutting device, indicating its practical application in the packaging industry. The cutting punch can be formed as a single piece and may feature multiple concavities, enhancing its cutting capabilities. Overall, the claims emphasize the innovative design of the cutting punch and its functional role in improving the efficiency and precision of packaging processes.
