Abstract

A punch device for producing a partial cutout in a sheet medium capable of being folded over an axis of symmetry for a unique decorative effect is disclosed. The punch includes a seat body formed with a horizontal fissure and a vertical chamber communicated with the fissure. A cutting block is disposed in the chamber. One face of the cutting block is disposed with a cutter, while the other face of the cutting block is disposed with a channel passing through the cutting block. A pressing lever is pivotally disposed in the channel of the cutting block. In use, a paper or a sheet is pushed into the fissure of the seat body and then the pressing section of the pressing lever is depressed to force the cutting block downward with the die punching the paper or the sheet placed in the fissure. The sheet is perforated along half of an outline of a geometric shape or a design, such that the interior portion circumscribed by the perforation can be folded over the shape's axis of symmetry for a unique effect. The folded over partial cutout creates the effect of the entire outline of the shape, with one half of the interior being completely cut out and the other half slightly raised from the surface of the sheet.
