PCT No. PCT/DE85/00363 Sec. 371 Date May 28, 1986 Sec. 102(e) Date May 28, 1986 PCT Filed Oct. 4, 1985 PCT Pub. No. WO86/02178 PCT Pub. Date Apr. 10, 1986.In a cutting and mounting apparatus for cutting a film section (9) which can be lowered into a slide mount (10) positioned below a cutting tool (5) in a slider (7), and which upon withdrawal of slider (7) can be snapped into the slide mount (10) while resting agaisnt a guiding jaw (2a), a component (12), shiftably guided on the slider (7), is designed as a U-shaped resilient clamp enclosing the rear area of the slider (7). The component (12) comprises guiding elements (12b) which point in the direction of movement of the slider (7), and are formed by tongues pointing upwardly at an angle, seizing the rear edge of a bent film section (9) when the slider (7) has been partly extended, and deflecting said rear edge so that it snaps into the groove-shaped recess in the rear frame portion (10b) of slide mount (10). When the slider (7) has been retracted, the component (12) is in a first position in which it extends beyond the rear frame portion (10b) of slide mount (10) while resiliently resting thereon, whereas when the slider (7) is extended the component (12) is in a second position in which it releases the rear frame portion (10b) of slide mount (10).
