Media cutting and ribbon curling device
First Claim
1. A media cutting and ribbon curling device having opposing first and second surfaces bound by first and second opposing side edges, the device comprising:
- a head comprising a cover and a guide disposed substantially underneath the cover, the guide having an attached end and a free end and a blade disposed therein; and
an elongated handle extending from the attached end of the guide, the handle comprising a ribbon curling region having (i) first and second ends, the first end disposed proximate to the attached end of the guide and (ii) a curling edge disposed immediately adjacent to the first side edge of at least one of the first and second surfaces of the device, the ribbon curling region being tapered at its second end such that the distance separating the curling edge and the opposing second side edge at its second end is less than the distance separating the curling edge and the opposing second side edge at its first end, wherein the curling edge comprises a rail that extends from the device, the rail having a base and a highest point, the base being disposed on the device and the highest point being furthest away from the device and having a radius of curvature greater than about 0.025 mm and less than about 0.51 mm.

17. A media cutting and ribbon curling device having opposing first and second surfaces bound by two opposing side edges, the device comprising:
-
a head comprising a cover and a guide disposed substantially underneath the cover, wherein the guide has an attached end and a free end and a blade disposed therein and wherein the second surface of the device is on the same side as the guide; and an elongated handle extending from the attached end of the guide, the handle comprising a ribbon curling region having (i) first and second ends, the first end disposed proximate to the attached end of the guide and (ii) two curling edges disposed on the second surface of the device, wherein the curling edges are formed from substantially triangular cross-section rails, each rail having a base disposed on the second surface of the device and a tip extending from the base and wherein the tip has a radius of curvature greater than about 0.025 mm and less than about 0.51 mm and the ribbon curling region is tapered at its second end such that the distance separating the two curling edges at the second end is less than the distance separating the two curling edges at the first end.
