Abstract

The device is used for cutting tiles and plates and possesses an elongate bearing part (1), on the narrow sides of which brackets (4, 5) are arranged which carry guides (8) extending parallel to the longitudinal extent of the bearing part (1) and arranged above the latter. A carriage (9) is mounted to be displaceable along these guides, on which carriage is pivotably mounted a lever arm (10) which carries the cutting tool and, if appropriate, a breaking tool (15). The bearing part (1) is formed from an extruded, flat box profile (34), which is designed in mirror symmetry about its vertical longitudinal median plane (17). At each of its two narrow end sides (18) it has a groove (19) which extends lengthwise, and is laterally open and undercut. This groove (19) is adjoined, towards the vertical longitudinal median plane (17), by a drilled channel (20) in each case. The longitudinal axis of the drilled channel (20) and the median plane of the groove (19) lie in the horizontal median plane (21) of the flat box profile (34). The lateral grooves (19) of the flat box profile (34) accommodate, in a twist-proof manner, heads (32) of laterally projecting threaded bolts (31). Widening profiles (30) which are flanged laterally onto the box profile (34) are secured by means of these threaded bolts (31). <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Einrichtung zum Schneiden von Fliesen oder Platten nach den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffes des Patentanspruches 1.The invention relates to a device for cutting tiles according to the features of the preamble of claim 1.

Der Auflageteil bei bekannten Einrichtungen dieser Art ist als Gußteil ausgebildet und die Lagerböcke sind mit dem Gußteil ein­stückig gefertigt. Es gibt bei solchen Einrichtungen aber auch als Gußteile ausgebildete Auflageteile, an deren Enden die Lager­böcke angeschraubt sind, wobei die auf der Oberseite der Auflage­teile angeordneten Lagerböcke mit im wesentlichen rechtwinkelig zur Auflageebene des Auflageteiles stehenden Schrauben befestigt sind. Darüberhinaus werden bei solchen Einrichtungen die Auflage­teile auch aus Blech geformt und gebogen und auch bei diesen Blechkonstruktionen liegen die Lagerböcke auf der Auflagefläche des Auflageteiles auf und sind ebenfalls mit rechtwinkelig zur Auflageebene des Auflageteiles stehenden Schrauben befestigt.The support part in known devices of this type is designed as a casting and the bearing blocks are made in one piece with the casting. In such devices, however, there are also support parts designed as castings, at the ends of which the bearing blocks are screwed, the bearing blocks arranged on the upper side of the support parts being fastened with screws which are substantially perpendicular to the support plane of the support part. In addition, in such devices, the support parts are also formed and bent from sheet metal, and in these sheet metal constructions, too, the bearing blocks rest on the support surface of the support part and are also fastened with screws standing at right angles to the support plane of the support part.

Insbesondere ist hier die DE-OS 37 02 239 zu nennen, welche eine Vorrichtung zum Schneiden von Fliesen der gegenständlichen Art zeigt. Der rechteckige Auflageteil bei dieser vorbekannten Ein­richtung ist aus einem verzugsfreien Material gefertigt, bei­spielsweise kommt hiefür in Frage: Sperrholz, Spanplatten oder Schichtstoffplatten, an deren Unterseite Standfüße oder Standlei­sten angeordnet sind. Von den kürzeren Querseiten der Auflage­platte treten sich über die gesamte Seitenlänge erstreckende Lei­sten vor, die von jeweils einem Schenkel eines mit einem anderen Schenkel auf der Stirnfläche der Querseite der Auflageplatte ver­schraubten L-Profils gebildet werden. In dem die vorspringende Leiste bildenden Schenkel des Profils ist jeweils ein sich im wesentlichen über die gesamte Schenkellänge erstreckender, nur an den Enden durch einen verbleibenden Steg geschlossener Längs­schlitz vorgesehen, welcher jeweils von einem Gewindezapfen am unteren Ende eines Halterungsbolzens durchsetzt sind, auf deren freies Ende jeweils eine Rändelmutter aufgeschraubt ist, mit wel­cher die Halterungsbolzen in dem durch die Länge des Längsschlit­zes vorgegebenen Bereich in beliebigen Verschiebungsstellungen festklemmbar sind. Das obere, ebenfalls als Gewindezapfen ausge­bildete Ende des Halterungsbolzens ist durch eine Bohrung im zu­geordneten Ende der Führungsschiene geführt, welche durch eine auf das obere freie Ende dieses Gewindezapfens aufgeschraubte Rändelmutter entgegen der Wirkung einer den Halterungsbolzen um­gebenden unter Druckvorspannung stehenden Schraubenfeder auf die Oberseite der Auflageplatte bzw. auf dieser Oberseite aufgelegte Fliesen aufdrückbar ist. Dadurch ist die Führungsschiene mit der Schneideinrichtung über die Auflageplatte verschiebbar und in an den gegenüberliegenden Seiten unterschiedlichen wählbaren Ver­schiebungsstellungen auch festlegbar gehalten. Die Führungsschie­ne ist deshalb sowohl parallel als auch schräg zu den nicht mit Führungen versehenen, die Auflageplatten begrenzenden Rändern verlaufenden Stellungen fixierbar, wodurch schräge Trennschnitte in den zu schneidenden Bauteilen herstellbar sind.In particular, DE-OS 37 02 239 is to be mentioned here, which shows a device for cutting tiles of the type in question. The rectangular support part in this known device is made of a distortion-free material, for example the following can be used: plywood, chipboard or laminated panels, on the underside of which feet or base strips are arranged. From the shorter transverse sides of the support plate, ledges extend over the entire side length, which are each formed by one leg of an L-profile screwed to another leg on the end face of the transverse side of the support plate. In the leg of the profile forming the projecting strip there is in each case a longitudinal slot which extends essentially over the entire length of the leg and is closed only at the ends by a remaining web, each of which is penetrated by a threaded pin at the lower end of a mounting bolt, on the latter free end of each knurled nut is screwed, with which the mounting bolts can be clamped in any displacement positions in the range specified by the length of the longitudinal slot. The upper end of the mounting bolt, which is also designed as a threaded pin, is guided through a bore in the associated end of the guide rail, which is screwed onto the upper free end of the mounting plate or by a knurled nut screwed onto the upper free end of this threaded pin against the action of a helical spring surrounding the mounting bolt tiles placed on this top side can be pressed on. As a result, the guide rail with the cutting device can be displaced over the support plate and can also be fixed in different selectable displacement positions on the opposite sides. The guide rail can therefore be fixed both parallel and at an angle to the positions which do not have guides and edges which delimit the support plates, as a result of which oblique separating cuts can be produced in the components to be cut.

Auch die GB-PS 1 246 942 zeigt eine Einrichtung zum Schneiden von Fliesen und hier ist der Auflageteil durch einen rechteckigen Blechteil mit abgewinkelten Längsrändern gebildet, auf dessen Oberseite Stege für die Führungsschiene angeschweißt sind.GB-PS 1 246 942 also shows a device for cutting tiles and here the support part is formed by a rectangular sheet metal part with angled longitudinal edges, on the top of which webs for the guide rail are welded.

Alle diese bekannten Einrichtungen erfüllen die ihnen zugedachte Schneidfunktion einwandfrei. Fliesen und Platten haben jedoch sehr unterschiedliche Abmessungen und Größen und die Schneidge­räte müssen diesen Größen angepaßt sein, da ja zum Schneiden der Fliese oder Platte diese zwischen den Lagerböcken liegt. Es müs­sen daher vom Erzeuger solcher Einrichtungen Auflageteile unter­schiedlicher Größe hergestellt und bevorratet werden.All of these known devices perform their intended cutting function perfectly. However, tiles and plates have very different dimensions and sizes and the cutters must be adapted to these sizes, since yes for cutting the tile or plate is between the bearing blocks. Support parts of different sizes must therefore be manufactured and stored by the manufacturer of such devices.

Von diesem Stand der Technik geht die Erfindung aus und sie zielt darauf ab, die bekannten Konstruktionen dahingehend zu vereinfa­chen, daß Einrichtungen dieser Art unabhängig von ihrer Größe baukastenartig aus Grundbauelementen zusammengefügt werden können, was die Herstellungs- und Lagerhaltungskosten verbilligt. Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe schlägt die Erfindung jene Maßnahmen vor, die Inhalt und Gegenstand des kennzeichnenden Teiles des Patent­anspruches 1 sind.The invention proceeds from this prior art and aims to simplify the known constructions in such a way that devices of this type are independent of their size can be assembled in a modular manner from basic structural elements, which reduces manufacturing and storage costs. To achieve this object, the invention proposes those measures that are the content and subject of the characterizing part of claim 1.

Um die Erfindung zu veranschaulichen, werden Ausführungsbeispiele anhand der Zeichnungen näher erläutert. Es zeigen: Fig. 1 eine Einrichtung zum Schneiden von Fliesen oder Platten in Ansicht, Fig. 2 in Seitensicht, Fig. 3 in Draufsicht; Fig. 4 den Quer­schnitt durch den Auflageteil und Fig. 5 und 6 ein Detail im Schnitt, weitere Details veranschaulichen die Fig. 7 und 8.In order to illustrate the invention, exemplary embodiments are explained in more detail with reference to the drawings. 1 shows a device for cutting tiles in a view, FIG. 2 shows a side view, FIG. 3 shows a top view; 4 shows the cross section through the support part and FIGS. 5 and 6 show a detail in section, further details illustrate FIGS. 7 and 8.

Die Einrichtung besitzt einen langgestreckten Auflageteil 1, an dessen beiden Stirnseiten 2 und 3 Lagerböcke 4 und 5 mittels Schrauben 6 verspannt sind. Diese Lagerböcke 4, 5 besitzen in ihrem oberen Bereich horizontal liegende Bohrungen 7, welche Füh­rungen 8, hier in Form von paarweise angeordneten Schienen mit kreisrundem Querschnitt, aufnehmen. An dieser Führung B ist ein Schlitten 9 verschiebbar gelagert, von welchem ein zweiarmiger Hebelarm 10 aufgenommen ist, der in der Zeichenebene (Fig. 1) schwenkbar gelagert ist (Pfeil 12). Der längere Arm 11 trägt end­seitig einen Handgriff 13. Mit dem einen Lagerbock und der einen Stirnseite ist noch eine Führungsplatte 16 verschraubt, an wel­cher ein hier nicht dargestelltes Anschlaglineal rechtwinkelig zur Zeichenebene (Fig. 1) verschiebbar und fixierbar gehalten ist. Dies ist hier jedoch nicht dargestellt, da dieses Anschlaglineal, seine Verschiebbarkeit und seine Fixierbarkeit die Erfindung nicht unmittelbar betreffen. Mit dem Hebelarm 10 kann auch noch ein Brechwerkzeug verbunden sein, das entweder unterhalb der Führung 8 und neben dem Schneidwerkzeug 15 liegt, oder das auf der Ober­seite des Schlittens 9 vorgesehen ist. Die feilgebotenen Einrich­tungen dieser Bauart besitzen unterschiedliche Baulängen L. Klei­ne Geräte besitzen eine Schnittlänge von etwas mehr als 20 cm, bei großen Geräten ist die Schnittlänge über 1 m.The device has an elongated support part 1, on the two end faces 2 and 3 bearing blocks 4 and 5 are clamped by means of screws 6. These bearing blocks 4, 5 have, in their upper area, horizontally lying bores 7, which hold guides 8, here in the form of pairs of rails with a circular cross section. A slide 9 is slidably mounted on this guide B, from which a two-armed lever arm 10 is received, which is pivotably mounted in the plane of the drawing (FIG. 1) (arrow 12). The longer arm 11 carries a handle 13 at the end. A guide bracket 16 is screwed to the one bearing block and one end face, on which a stop ruler (not shown here) can be moved and fixed at right angles to the plane of the drawing (FIG. 1). However, this is not shown here because this stop ruler, its displaceability and its fixability do not directly affect the invention. A lever can also be connected to the lever arm 10, which either lies below the guide 8 and next to the cutting tool 15, or is provided on the top of the slide 9. The devices of this type offered for sale have different lengths L. Small devices have a cutting length of slightly more than 20 cm, for large devices the cutting length is over 1 m.

Der Auflageteil 1 ist, wie auf Fig. 4 ersichtlich, als strangge­preßtes, flaches Kastenprofil 34 ausgebildet, welches hier zu sei­ner vertikalen Längsmittelebene 17 spiegelsymmetrisch ausgestal­tet ist. An seinen beiden schmalen Längsseiten 18 sind seitlich offene, hinterschnittene Nuten 19 ausgeformt und an jede dieser Nuten 19 und gegen die Längsmittelebene 17 hin schließt je ein Bohrungskanal 20 an. Die Längsachsen der Bohrungskanäle 20 und die Mittelebenen der Nuten 19 liegen in der horizontalen Mittel­ebene 21 des flachen Kastenprofiles 34. Beim Ausführungsbeispiel nach Fig. 4 geht jeder Nutengrund in den Bohrungskanal 20 über, so daß der Bohrungskanal 20 gegen die Nut 19 hin offen ist. Der Bohrungskanal 20 ist von einer im wesentlichen zylindrischen In­nenwand 22 begrenzt. In der Vertikalmittelebene 17 des Kastenpro­files 34 ist noch ein dessen Ober-und Unterseite 23 - 24 verbin­dender Mittelsteg 25 vorgesehen. Es wird hier vermerkt, daß die Begriffe Ober- bzw. Unterseite sich auf die Darstellung nach Fig .4 bezieht, denn das Kastenprofil kann, wie noch im folgenden darge­legt wird, so innerhalb der Einrichtung angeordnet werden, daß die eine oder die andere Seite als Auflageebene dient.The support part 1, as can be seen in FIG. 4, is designed as an extruded, flat box section 34, which here is mirror-symmetrical to its vertical longitudinal center plane 17. Laterally open, undercut grooves 19 are formed on its two narrow longitudinal sides 18 and a bore channel 20 connects to each of these grooves 19 and against the longitudinal center plane 17. The longitudinal axes of the bore channels 20 and the central planes of the grooves 19 lie in the horizontal central plane 21 of the flat box section 34. In the embodiment according to FIG. 4, each bottom of the groove merges into the bore channel 20, so that the bore channel 20 is open towards the groove 19. The bore channel 20 is delimited by an essentially cylindrical inner wall 22. In the vertical center plane 17 of the box section 34 there is also a central web 25 connecting the upper and lower sides 23-24 thereof. It is noted here that the terms top and bottom refer to the illustration of Fig. 4, because the box profile, as will be explained below, can be arranged within the device so that one or the other side as Support level serves.

Grundsätzlich wäre es auch möglich, den Bohrungskanal 20 umfangs­geschlossen auszubilden, was schematisch Fig. 7 veranschaulicht. Symmetrisch zur vertikalen Längsmittelebene 17 ist in der Ober­seite 23 eine im Querschnitt im wesentlichen quadratische, auf einer Kante stehende Nut 26 ausgeformt, die unmittelbar vom zen­tralen Mittelsteg 25 unterstützt ist.In principle, it would also be possible to design the bore channel 20 to be circumferentially closed, which is illustrated schematically in FIG. 7. A groove 26, which is essentially square in cross section and has an edge and is supported directly by the central central web 25, is formed in the upper side 23 symmetrically to the vertical longitudinal center plane 17.

Dieses Kastenprofil, das für den Auflageteil 1 dient, ist als stranggepreßtes Profil ausgestaltet und ist mehrere Meter lang. Abhängig von der Größe der herzustellenden Einrichtung wird von dieser Meterware die gewünschte Länge abgeschnitten. Auch die Führungen 8 sind als Stangenmaterial bevorratet und werden auf die gewünschte Länge zugeschnitten. Bei dem hier gezeigten Gerät sind solche Führungen 8 paarweise vorhanden. Es liegt durchaus im Rahmen der Erfindung hier nur eine Führungsschiene vorzusehen, die dann mehrkantig zu gestalten ist, damit der Schlitten 9 ver­ drehsicher an der Führung gehalten ist. Sind Auflageteil und Füh­rung in der entsprechenden Länge von der erwähnten Meterware ab­getrennt, dann werden die im Zusammenhang mit Fig. 1 beschriebe­nen Teile zusammengebaut. Die Schrauben 6, die die Lagerböcke 4 und 5 mit dem Auflageteil 1 fest verbinden, werden in die Bohrungs­kanäle 20 eingedreht. Dazu können selbstschneidende Schrauben verwendet werden. Es ist aber auch möglich, in diese Bohrungska­näle 20 für die Aufnahme dieser Befestigungsschrauben 6 Gewinde vorab einzuschneiden.This box profile, which serves for the support part 1, is designed as an extruded profile and is several meters long. Depending on the size of the device to be manufactured, the desired length is cut from this piece of fabric. The guides 8 are also stored as rod material and are cut to the desired length. In the device shown here, such guides 8 are available in pairs. It is entirely within the scope of the invention to provide only one guide rail, which is then to be polygonal so that the carriage 9 ver is held in rotation on the guide. If the support part and the guide are cut off in the appropriate length from the meter goods mentioned, then the parts described in connection with FIG. 1 are assembled. The screws 6, which firmly connect the bearing blocks 4 and 5 to the support part 1, are screwed into the bore channels 20. Self-tapping screws can be used for this. However, it is also possible to cut 6 threads beforehand into these bore channels 20 for receiving these fastening screws.

Sind Einrichtungen der gegenständlichen Art von besonders großer Länge herzustellen, so ist es unter Umständen wünschenswert, die durch den Auflageteil 1 gebildete Auflageebene dadurch nach den Seiten hin zu vergrößern, daß an der Seite ein weiteres flaches Kastenprofil, wie in Fig. 4 im Querschnitt dargestellt ist, an­geflanscht wird. Die dazu erforderlichen Verbindungsmittel, in diesem Fall handelt es sich zweckmäßigerweise um Spannkeile, wer­den in die Nuten 19 eingefügt.Are devices of the type in question of particularly great length to be produced, it may be desirable to enlarge the support plane formed by the support part 1 to the sides by the fact that on the side another flat box profile, as shown in Fig. 4 in cross section is flanged. The connecting means required for this, in this case expediently clamping wedges, are inserted into the grooves 19.

Das flache Kastenprofil 34 nach Fig. 4 kann mit den anderen Bau­teilen (Fig. 1) in der Weise vereinigt werden, daß die Auflage­fläche 27 (Fig. 1) entweder durch die Seite 24 dieses Profiles oder durch die Seite 23 gebildet wird, da dieses Kastenprofil 34 aufgrund seiner Gestaltung sozusagen zweiseitig verwendbar ist. Wird das Kastenprofil so angeordnet, daß die Seite 23 (Fig. 4) als Auflageebene verwendet wird, so wird vor dem Zusammenbau in die Nut 26 ein Vierkantstab 29 eingefügt, dessen gegenüber der Seite 23 nach oben vorstehende Kante 28 als Bruchkante dient, wel­che über die gesamte Länge des Auflageteiles 1 verläuft.4 can be combined with the other components (FIG. 1) in such a way that the bearing surface 27 (FIG. 1) is formed either by the side 24 of this profile or by the side 23, since this Box profile 34 can be used on both sides because of its design. If the box profile is arranged so that the side 23 (Fig. 4) is used as a support plane, a square rod 29 is inserted into the groove 26 before assembly, the edge 28 protruding upwards from the side 23 serving as a breaking edge, which over the entire length of the support part 1 runs.

Anstelle einer Verbreiterung des Auflageteiles 1 über seine ganze Länge können auch Profilstücke 30 seitlich angeflanscht werden, die kürzer sind als der Auflageteil 1. Dazu werden in die Nut 19 Gewindebolzen 31 eingeschoben, deren Köpfe 32 in der Nut verdreh­sicher gehalten sind. Dies veranschaulichen die Fig. 5 und 6. In diesen Profilstücken 30 können handgroße Aussparungen 33 randnah vorgesehen werden (Fig. 6), die als Grifflöcher dienen, an wel­chen die Einrichtung getragen werden kann.Instead of widening the support part 1 over its entire length, profile pieces 30 can also be flanged to the side, which are shorter than the support part 1. For this purpose, threaded bolts 31 are inserted into the groove 19, the heads 32 of which are held in the groove so as to be secure against rotation. This is illustrated in FIGS. 5 and 6. In these profile pieces 30, hand-sized recesses 33 can be close to the edge are provided (Fig. 6), which serve as handle holes on which the device can be carried.

Dank der Erfindung ist es möglich, Einrichtungen der beschriebe­nen Art baukastenartig zusammenzusetzen, da das flache Kasten­profil 34 und die Führungen 8 als Meter- bzw. Stangen(ware vorlie­gen und je nach Bedarf auf die geforderte Länge abgeschnitten wer­den können. Die restlichen Bauteile (Hebelarm 10, Lagerböcke 4 und 5, Führungsplatte 16, Schlitten 9, Schrauben 6) sind dann Standartbauteile und sind unabhängig von der gewählten Baulänge L gleich gestaltet. Am Schlitten 9 kann ein federbelasteter Bol­zen (nicht dargestellt) rechtwinkelig zur Zeichenebene (Fig. 1) gelagert sein, der mit einer im zweiarmigen Hebel 10 vorgesehenen Bohrung in der Weise zusammenwirkt, daß er als Riegel dient. Ist die Einrichtung außer Betrieb und der Hebel 10 in seiner nach un­ten geschwenkten Endstellung (Fig. 1), so wird dieser federbe­lastete Hebel in die genannte Bohrung des Hebels eingerastet und bildet so einen Riegel, der die Verschwenkbarkeit des Hebels 10 unterbindet. Wird die Einrichtung bestimmungsgemäß verwendet, so wird dieser federbelastete Bolzen aus der Bohrung im Hebel 10 zu­rückgezogen und in seiner zurückgezogenen Lage verriegelt. Dann ist der Hebel 10 frei. Solche Riegelbolzen sind in vielfältiger Form bekannt und aus diesem Grund hier nicht näher dargestellt.Thanks to the invention, it is possible to assemble devices of the type described in a modular manner, since the flat box profile 34 and the guides 8 are in the form of meters or rods (goods) and can be cut to the required length as required , Bearing blocks 4 and 5, guide plate 16, slide 9, screws 6) are then standard components and have the same design regardless of the selected length L. A spring-loaded bolt (not shown) can be mounted on the slide 9 at right angles to the drawing plane (FIG. 1) , which cooperates with a hole provided in the two-armed lever 10 in such a way that it serves as a latch. If the device is out of operation and the lever 10 is in its downwardly pivoted end position (FIG. 1), this spring-loaded lever is moved into the named position Drilled hole of the lever and thus forms a bolt that prevents the pivoting of the lever 10. If di e device used as intended, this spring-loaded bolt is withdrawn from the hole in the lever 10 and locked in its retracted position. Then the lever 10 is free. Such locking bolts are known in various forms and for this reason are not shown in detail here.

Dank der erfindungsgemäßen Vorschläge wird nicht nur die Lagerhal­tung vereinfacht, auch die Herstellung wird erheblich verbilligt.Thanks to the proposals according to the invention, not only is the storage simplified, the manufacture is also considerably cheaper.
