(under subclass 509) Device including means to move the axis of the rotatable surface.
(1) Note. Included in this and indented subclasses are patents disclosing cigar wrapper cutters, in which a leaf of tobacco is placed upon a contoured blade having an upstanding edge and an anvil travels across the work, the anvil rotating about its axis as its axis moves in a plane parallel to the edge of the blade, thus forming the work upon the edge to cut the work.
(2) Note. For patents in which the operation is reversed, that is, the anvil rotates about a fixed axis, and the work, held on a movable, contoured, edged blade, is moved with the blade past the rotatable anvil, see subclass 284.
