`
`edge ofthe die will be accurately registered with a shape to be cut from the sheet material; and

`
`FIG. 10 shows a roller press in which the die and sheet material of FIG. 8 are
`
`positioned after the die has been registered with the shape to be cut from the sheet material.
`
`Pages 4 and 5, please amend Paragraph 0016,as follows:
`[0016] Referring initially to FIGs.
`1 and 5 of the drawings,
`
`two examples are shown of
`
`chemical-etched dies 1 and 3 to be used in combination with a die press (e.g., a roller press) in
`
`order that shapes can be cut out of a suitable sheet material made from paper,plastic, thin metal,
`
`or the like (designated 25 and best shown in FIG. 8).
`
`In this regard, FIG. 10 of the drawings
`
`shows a conventional roller press 40 that is suitable to accommodate either one of the dies 1 or 3
`
`and the sheet material 25 having a shape to be cut therefrom. The dies 1 and 3 are preferably
`
`manufactured from flat steel that is treated by a conventional chemical etching process. The
`
`shapes of the dies 1 and 3 (which correspondto the shapes to be cut from the sheet material) can
`
`vary among different designs, symbols,letters, numbers, etc. to suit the needs of the user.
`
`In the
`
`examples of FIGs. 1 and 5, the chemical-etched die 1 has the shape of a square or window, and

`
`
`
`the chemical-etched die 3 has the shape of a flower. However, the precise shape ofthe dies 1
`
`and 3 is not to be considered as a limitation of this invention.
