ABSTRACT:
A film cutting apparatus includes a guide having a clip for attachment to a film material container and a cutting device designed to travel along said guide to sever the film material in predetermined lengths. The cutting device includes two pairs of guide wheels designed to travel in a channel in the guide beneath the cutting plane defined by a top surface thereof. The cutting device also includes a housing having disposed therein a star cutter, a star cutter driver assembly and a plate assembly attached to the housing providing rotatable support for the star cutter driver assembly and guide wheels. In use, the housing is gripped by a user and driven along the length of the guide. During housing travel, the star cutter driver assembly rotatably engages the guide top surface to rotate the star cutter and sever the film material lying in the path of the star cutter. The guide has a non-slip top surface so that the film material adheres thereto during cutting. The star cutter drive assembly includes a resilient material engaging surface to compensate for variations in film material thickness during cutting.
