Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for opening letter envelopes or the like with a base part, a movable knife blade, the cutting edge of which cooperates with a counter element, and an actuating device.
- a razor can be used to separate the envelope. It is exchangeably guided in a carriage which can be moved along the letter and which is moved by hand to open the envelope. To open the envelope, a board-like counter element interacts with the razor.
- This known device does not meet all the requirements. Opening the envelope, especially in the country. Enlarged envelopes, is time-consuming and the blade edge does not last long.
- the invention has for its object to provide a device for opening letter envelopes or the like, which is simple in structure, easy to operate, extends the knife service life and cuts off the letter envelope to be separated without great effort.
- the invention solves this problem with the means of claim 1.
- Fig. 1 is a front view
- Figure 2 is a Drau view.
- Fig. 3 is a side view, partly in section.
- FIG. 4 shows a view, as in FIG. 3, of a modified embodiment
- FIG. 5 shows a view, as in FIG. 3, of another embodiment
- FIG. 6 shows a view, as in FIG. 3, of a further embodiment
- FIG. 7 shows a view, as in FIG. 3, of a further embodiment.
- the device for opening letters or the like has a base part 1, a stationary knife holder 2, a
- the movable knife carrier 3 is an essentially rectangular block 5 that extends over the full knife length and has flat side surfaces 6.
- Eccentrically arranged pivot pins 7 are formed on the side surfaces 6 and are rotatably mounted in bearings of the base part 1, which are not shown in detail.
- the block 5 On the front end, the block 5 has a circular segment surface 8, the center of which forms the central axis of the pivot pins 7.
- a flat bearing surface 9 for the movable knife blade 10 adjoins the circular segment surface 8 on the upper side, rising slightly inwards.
- the movable knife blade 10 is fastened to the block 5 by means of screws 11.
- the bearing surface 9 runs inclined in the longitudinal direction of the block 5, namely, as can be seen from FIG. 1, rising from left to right in the drawing figure.
- the movable knife blade 10 projects with its cutting edge 12 over the circular segment surface 8, specifically around the edge to be cut off from the envelope 13 to be opened, preferably the cutting edge 12 projects 0.6 mm beyond the circular segment surface 8, so that 6 mm of the envelope 13 are cut off.
- the block 5 continues in its rearward area into an upwardly extending part 14, which extends over the entire block length, in order to then merge into a part 15, which tapers in its cross section and is tapered towards the front.
- the handle 4 is formed, which is to be moved by hand in the direction of arrow I to actuate the device.
- an opening 16 is formed in the handle part 15, as indicated by the broken line.
- the block 5 is spring-loaded, as a result of which it is returned in the direction of arrow II.
- a helical spring 17 can be arranged for this around the pivot pin 7, one end of which is connected to the one side wall 18 of the base part 1 and the other end to the block 5.
- the stationary knife carrier 2 is also arranged as a longitudinal block 19. It is pivotably supported in the side cheeks 18 of the base part 1.
- the parallel side faces 20 of the block have pivot pins 21 which are rotatably mounted in bearings of the side cheeks 18, not shown.
- a further knife blade 23 is fastened by means of screws 24 to the flat surface 22 facing the block 5, which runs obliquely upwards from the pivot pin 21 and towards the block 5.
- the cutting edge 25 of the knife blade 23 runs flush / with the flat upper side 26, which serves as a support plane for the envelope 13.
- On one side is a Over this top 26 protruding side stop 27 is formed for the envelope 13.
- This side stop 27 is arranged in such a way that the envelope 13 can just be pushed in up to the stop between the circular segment surface 8 and the cutting edges 12 and 25.
- a coil spring 29 is arranged around at least one of the pivot pins 21, one end of which is connected to the side wall 18 and the other end of which is connected to the block 19.
- the base part 1 is U-shaped and has two side cheeks 18 and a base 30.
- a recess 31 which is covered by a waste drawer 32 which can be pulled out backwards to accommodate the cut letter envelopes.
- the block 19 is a rigid component of the base part 1.
- the knife carrier block 5 is not only pivotally mounted, but is also movable in the direction IV towards the stationary knife blade 23.
- a spatially fixed axis 33 is provided for the knife block 5, which is rigidly mounted in the side cheeks 18 of the base part 1.
- the block 5 has a slot-like recess 34 through which the axis 33 extends. Springs 35 are supported on the one hand against the wall of this recess and on the other hand against the rigid axis 33, as a result of which the knife block 5 is constantly pressed with its knife edge 12 against the knife edge 25 in the contact area.
- the base part 1 is designed to be open towards the bottom.
- the flat knife blade 23 is rigidly fastened to the planar upper side 40 in the direction of contact V for the envelope or the like to be opened, in a recessed position by means of screws (not shown).
- the undercut cutting edge 25 of this knife 23 projects somewhat beyond the wall of the upper side 40 into the free space of an opening 41 on the upper side 40.
- the block 5, which carries the movable knife blade 10 may have only lateral arms 43 which extend the block 5 towards the front 42 and which are pivotably mounted in the side walls 44.
- the hubs 45 engage in elongated holes 47 in the side walls 44 by means of pivot pins 46 and are pressed there toward the front 42 by means of compression springs 48.
- the cutting edge 12 of the knife blade 10, which projects beyond the block 5 by the amount of the envelope to be cut or the like, is thus kept in constant contact with the edge 25 of the knife blade 23.
- the knife blade 10 again runs in the longitudinal direction of the block 5, as in the embodiment according to FIG. 3, inclined and remains in contact with the knife blade 23 even in the starting position.
- the handle 4 On the block 5, directed against the swivel arms 43, the handle 4 continues towards the rear 49.
- the cut is made by operating the handle 4 in the direction of arrow I.
- the cut can thus be made by actuating the handle on the side facing away from the system.
- a movement of the knife block 5 is provided via a gear arrangement.
- the handle 4 is provided on the waste drawer 32 side. It is pivotally provided on the shaft 50, which is rotatably mounted in the two side cheeks. A gear 51 sits on this shaft at least on one side. This meshes with a counter gear 52 which is firmly seated on the pivot shaft 53, which is rotatably mounted in the side walls and to which the block 5 is connected in a rotationally fixed manner.
- the handle 4 for actuating the cutting process is located on the side facing away from the installation of the envelope or the like.
- the cut can be made more easily by dimensioning the transmission ratio for the toothed wheels 51, 52.
- the housing 1 can have lateral hubs 54 for mounting the lateral arms 43.
