Description

The invention relates to an insulating material cutting device according to the preamble of claim 1.

State of the art

Insulation cutters are now used on construction sites to cut insulation panels to the desired dimension. Known insulation cutting devices have a clamped on an adjustable cutting bracket cutting wire, which is heated with electricity to cut in the heated state plastic foam sheets. The cutting bracket is hinged to a usually rectangular plate, which serves as a support for the insulation board to be cut. By means of guides, the cutting bracket resp. Cutting wire are adjusted relative to the plate to cut the insulation board at the desired location. Such hot wire cutters are known in different designs. In addition, there are also cutters for mineral insulation boards, such as stone or glass wool, and cutting devices for PU plates, which do not work with a hot wire but with a blade, manual or mechanical saw and other release agents

Since the cutters are exposed to harsh conditions on construction sites, they must be robust. Often the plate is usually provided with imprints in the form of labels or covered with slides that serve the advertising. The imprints or foils may refer to the manufacturer, supplier or the owner of the insulation cutter. However, because the surfaces of the pads are heavily used, the imprints are usually very legible very soon. Slides have the disadvantage that they can peel off.

The support plate can be made of wood, sheet metal, aluminum, plastic. Depending on the quality of the labeling film, it will last longer or not. Due to the abrasion that takes place on the support plate (by pushing the insulation board), the writing can get up at the corners and peel off.

The manufacturers of insulation cutters often supply very different customers, with each customer usually wants their own label and possibly color of the device. For many different customers of these insulation cutters, the problem arises for the manufacturer of the devices that short delivery times can only be met if devices are produced in stock. This not only increases the storage costs, but there is also the risk that in the absence of a follow-up order or change in customer requirements, these devices can no longer be sold.

A lettering by screen printing basically offers a very good quality, but is relatively expensive. The number of devices to be manufactured and their color must be determined before installation. This in turn prolongs the production times.

task

Consequently, there is a need for an insulation cutter that can be provided with the desired custom lettering and color in a short term and at a low cost without the plates having to be pre-produced and stocked. Yet another goal is to provide an insulating material cutting device, which can be provided with a permanent advertising print.

description

The invention relates to an insulation cutting device with a support plate for an insulation board and a cutting device, which is arranged on the support plate and by means of a guide device relative to the support plate is adjustable.

According to the invention, the insulating material cutting device is further characterized in that on the support plate a removable disk with a label (= label plate), in particular advertising inscription, interchangeable set. This has the advantage that the label can be created as a distinctive feature not only for the reseller, but also end customer specific. Another big advantage is that the removable disk can be replaced easily and at low cost. It is also conceivable to coat the removable disk with a fresh lettering foil from time to time. This allows the device to serve as an advertising medium for a very long time. This can have an emotional effect and have a positive effect on the device and the manufacturer. The use of digitally produced labeling films makes it possible to dispense with inscription in the screen printing process.

According to one embodiment, the removable plate may be formed as an extension of the carrier plate. This embodiment can be easily and inexpensively manufactured.

Alternatively, the removable plate may also be an intermediate part of the carrier plate. The mechanical connection of carrier plate and removable plate can be done by any known to the expert fasteners such as rails, pins, etc.

A particularly advantageous embodiment provides that the support plate has a window-like cutout, in which the Removable plate is received positively and interchangeable. The section can basically have any geometric shape. In this embodiment, it is advantageous that the removable plate can be replaced particularly easily. For attachment of the removable plate, the cutout on the edge may have at least partially formed a fold on which the removable plate rests. The fixation can then be done simply by means of screws.

Even if the surface of the removable plate can be basically flush with the surface of the carrier plate, it is preferred that the surface of the removable plate is set back relative to the surface of the carrier plate by a certain amount. The latter solution has the great advantage that lettering stays nice for a longer time, as there is no abrasion as on the board surface.

Conveniently, the cutting device is pivotable and / or height-adjustable arranged on the support plate. Preferably, the cutting device has a cutting bracket, which can be equipped with a heating wire or with a manually operable blade.

Advantageously, the removable disk is provided on the front with a print, a label, an embossing or structure. The replacement plate can be covered with a film, but also be punched, lasered, milled or exposed, without a film must be used.

An embodiment of the invention will now be described with reference to the drawings. It shows:

1 an inventive insulation material cutting device having a support plate arranged on a frame and a removable plate arranged in a section of the support plate;

2 : a rear view of the carrier plate of 1 ;

3 various embodiments of the support plate with removable plate;

4 : the section of the carrier plate on an enlarged scale.

That in the 1 . 2 and 4 shown insulation cutter 11 includes a carrier plate 13 on which a cutting bracket 15 is arranged. The cutting bracket 15 owns one in the 1 not apparent cutting wire, which by means of a power source 17 can be heated to such a temperature that foam sheets can be cut with this. The cutting bracket 15 is by means of joints 19 pivotable on the support plate 13 arranged and by striving 21 detectable in different pivoting positions. At one end of the insulation cutter 11 is a profile 23 provided on or at which an arranged on the support plate insulating plate can abut. The profile 23 is about an axis 25 swiveling and lockable in different angular positions, so that the insulation panels can be cut at any angle between 0 and 90 degrees. An oval opening 27 serves as a handle to carry the insulation cutter 11 , The insulation cutter 11 can on a stand 28 be arranged to serve it in an upright position.

According to one embodiment of the invention, a cutout is in the carrier plate 29 provided in which a removable disk 31 is releasably attached. On the removable plate 31 is a location 33 applied in the form of a coating or a film. The coating or foil contains an advertising message, for example a brand.

Like from the 2 and 4 can be seen, the neckline can 29 a fold 35 have, on which the removable disk 31 can be present. Preferably, the thickness of the removable plate is smaller by a certain amount than the height of the fold 35 so that the surface of the removable disk 31 opposite the surface of the carrier plate 31 is set back inside. This has the advantage that abrasion of the coating or foil during processing of the insulating panels can be avoided. Preferably, the surface of the removable disk 31 opposite the surface of the carrier plate 31 set back by 0.1 mm to 15 mm, preferably 1 mm to 10 mm and particularly preferably between 2 mm and 8 mm.

The removable plate 31 does not necessarily have to be in a section 29 the carrier plate 13 can be used, but can also be on a narrow side 37 be scheduled, as in 3b) is shown. For this purpose, in the edge of the narrow side bolts or other guide means may be present, to which the removable plate can be attached.

Another alternative embodiment provides that the removable disk 31 an intermediate portion of the carrier plate 31 represents, which occupies the entire width of the carrier plate ( 3a ).

The geometric shape of the clipping 29 and that of the matching removable disk 31 can basically be arbitrary (s. 1c) to 1f) ). Advantageously, the surface of the removable plate relative to the rest of the support plate between 5 and 20%, and preferably between 7 and 15%.
