Abstract

A cutting-out machine for flat material such as cloth has a slit blade cutting mechanism mounted on one end of a double-arm beam. The beam arms are pivotally connected to one another about a vertical axis. The cutting mechanism is pivotally connected to one end of the beam, preferably in an adjustable spring-loaded mount. The pivot axis is vertical and aligned with the cutting edge of the slit blade. The other end of the beam is pivotally connected, also along a vertical axis, to a carriage that rides on guide tracks extending along a longitudinal edge of a support table for the material. The carriage is preferably driven by an electric motor under the control of a switch located on the cutting mechanism. The beams arms are substantially equal to the width of the support table when the beam is fully extended.
