  • the plurality of knives are actuated in such a way that all knives are brought into the cutting position by spring force one after the other in a chain circulation, a total straight cut then being made by the total number of knives.
  • a handy, light and simply constructed device for cutting wallpaper is to be created, with which, in particular, any type of wallpaper that has been glued on beforehand, without having to be removed from the wall, at the usual transition points between wall and ceiling or Bottom or skirting board, but also at critical transition points, for example between vertical surfaces that usually meet at right angles, with a smooth, clean cut according to the respective circumstances.
  • the device according to the invention is also intended to be able to make cutouts and incisions in wallpapers, such as those used for plugs, sockets or switches, or for fan covers, flaps and the like. required are.
  • the device according to the invention should be able to cut wallpaper webs from wallpaper rolls.
  • a transmission part driven by an eccentrically arranged pin and carrying out an upward and downward stroke movement is arranged in a front housing part, on the end of which is remote from the drive, an exchangeable knife is held, on which a fixed, likewise exchangeable knife The knife rests resiliently.
  • the two knives protruding from the front housing part are covered until immediately before the electric motor is switched on by a trigger part which can be displaced against the force of a spring.
  • the movable knife held on the transmission part has at least one cutting edge that is bevelled or rounded on both sides, while the fixed knife has at least two Z-shaped regions, which are arranged in mirror image with respect to its center line and on which the two inclined parts are designed as cutting edges .
  • the knife held on the transmission part and thus displaceable executes an upward and downward lifting movement with each motor revolution;
  • the movable knife slides along the fixed knife, which is pressed against it.
  • the action of the two cutting edges of the two knives, which are movable relative to one another is then comparable, for example, to the action of the two cutting edges when opening and then closing a pair of scissors.
  • a wallpaper web is inserted between the two cutting edges of the two knives, which are moved against each other leads and the device according to the invention is simultaneously moved perpendicular to the wallpaper web, this is also cut straight when the device is guided straight.

Due to the design of the knife, the device can also be used for the preparatory cutting of wallpaper strips from a wallpaper roll.
  • the approximately S-shaped release part in side view has a cover part with an opening at its end projecting from the housing; in this the two relatively movable knives are accommodated in such a way that they are covered by the trigger part in the idle state so that injury from the sharp cutting edges of the knives is excluded; the cover part of the triggering part projects so far beyond the lowest possible position of one of the two knives that its cutting edge cannot be touched.
  • an L-shaped spring in side view exerts such pressure on the release part that it is thereby held securely in the rest position in which it is in front the part covers the cutting edges of the two knives. It is also ensured by a corresponding design of the trigger part that even if a relatively large pressure is exerted on the cover part from the outside, the trigger part remains in its rest position, so that the cutting edges of the two knives are always safely covered.
  • the knives have the cutting edge design described above at both ends, when the blades of one or both knives become blunt, this or these knives do not need to be replaced immediately with new ones, but rather only rotated through 180 °. So that the knives can be easily turned over and easily replaced, the two housing parts are secured to one another by guides, grooves, hook-shaped lugs and locking lugs so that they can be pulled apart and separated without difficulty after they have been loosened.
  • the fixed knife In order to facilitate the replacement or turning over of the fixed knife and to facilitate access to the movable knife held at the free end of the transmission part, the fixed knife is held in a receiving part which can be pivoted with respect to the front housing part. After swiveling this receiving part, either the fixed knife can be rotated through 180 ° or exchanged for a new knife, and secondly
