In the film cutter of this invention, a cutter carriage is guided by a guide rod of a circular cross section allowing it to make both a translational motion along the guide rod and a tilting motion about the guide rod, whereby a rotary blade mounted on the cutter carriage is assured of a close contact with a fixed linear blade irrespective of the thickness of the film to be cut for always attaining a satisfactory cutting action. And a film holder working in synchronism with the cutter carriage allows a roll of film to be cut into specified lengths in a sequential manner.

1. A film cutter for cutting a strip of film fed out to a cutting area having: a fixed linear blade arranged along the cutting area and a movable blade which can be moved along the fixed linear blade, comprising: a film holder arranged over the fixed linear blade, biased toward the linear fixed blade by a spring means so as to hold the film stationary while it is being cut; a cutter carriage which carries the movable blade for moving it in parallel to the fixed linear blade; a pressure roller, rotatively mounted on the carriage for applying pressure onto the film holder while the cutter carriage moves; a means for displacing the film holder away from the fixed linear blade for allowing smooth passage of the film therebetween when the cutter carriage has reached to at least one of the end areas of its moving stroke; and a guide member of a circular cross-section for guiding the motion of the carriage along the fixed linear blade and for pivoting the carriage thereabout so that the reaction which the carriage receives as its pressure roller rolls on the film holder is directed to pressing the movable blade carried by the carriage against the fixed linear blade. 2. A film cutter according to claim 1, wherein the movable blade is a rotary blade shaped substantially as a disc which rotates at least while it cuts through the film. 3. A film cutter according to claim 1, wherein the carriage is moved along the fixed linear blade by a chain which undergoes a reciprocating motion driven by a power means. 4. A film cutter according to claim 3, wherein the rotary blade derives its rotary motion from the power of the chain via intermediate wheels at least one of which rolls over a stationary member. 5. A film cutter according to claim 4, wherein the stationary member is the guide member. 6. A film cutter according to claim 5, wherein one of the intermediate wheels rides over an end of a lever when the carriage has reached an end area of its moving stroke and, at the same time, the other end of the lever lifts up the film holder away from the fixed linear blade for smooth passage of the film therebetween. 7. A film cutter according to claim 6, wherein the film is fed out from a roll of film and the film is cut and fed out to the cutting area over and over in a sequential manner. 8. A film cutter according to claim 7, wherein the film cutter is further provided with a punching means for making a plurality of register holes in the film.
