Description

La présente invention est relative à un dispositif permettant le surfaçage et le polissage soigné du côté ou chant,généralement vertical, d'une pièce ou d'un élément préfabriqué massif, s'étendant horizontalement et posé à plat sur un support approprié.The present invention relates to a device allowing careful surfacing and polishing of the side or edge, generally vertical, of a solid piece or prefabricated element, extending horizontally and laid flat on a suitable support.

On sait que le bord latéral d'une pierre posée à plat, du genre d'une dalle ou d'une stèle, se présente généralement verticalement et offre un contour qui selon l'usage prévu,peut comporter un profil avec des parties droites, concaves ou convexes de courbures variables et plus ou moins complexes selon l'usage envisagé pour la pierre à travailler. Le surfaçage puis le polissage de celle-ci s'effectuentau moyen de meules de forme générale cylindrique, dites meules rouleaux, fixées en bout d'une broche rotative verticale portée par une machine manuelle ou automatique.We know that the lateral edge of a stone placed flat, like a slab or a stele, generally presents itself vertically and offers a contour which, depending on the intended use, can include a profile with straight parts, concave or convex with variable and more or less complex curvatures depending on the intended use for the stone to be worked. The surfacing and then the polishing thereof is carried out by means of grinders of generally cylindrical shape, called roller grinders, fixed at the end of a vertical rotary spindle carried by a manual or automatic machine.

Or pour obtenir sur le chant vertical de la pierre un polissage final acceptable, il est habituellement nécessaire d'utiliser successivement cinq meules dont le grain, diamanté ou en carborundum, est dégressif. Cependant, avec ce type de meules à rouleaux, il s'avère que l'opération de polissage ne permet guère d'aller au-delà de l'utilisation de la troisième taille de grain, les meules correspondantes, travaillant avec leur périphérie, étant au contact du chant de la pierre selon une génératrice verticale et ayant tendance à se déformer, nonobstant un balayage vertical parallèlement à l'axe de la broche rotative dont elles peuvent être animées. Il en résulte que le polissage final est insuffisant, avec un état de surface imparfait et au total la formation dans le chant de la pierre de facettes successives et non pas d'une surface dont la courbure ne présente aucune discontinuité.However, to obtain an acceptable final polishing on the vertical edge of the stone, it is usually necessary to successively use five grinding stones, the grain of which, diamond or carborundum, is decreasing. However, with this type of roller wheel, it turns out that the polishing operation hardly allows to go beyond the use of the third grain size, the corresponding wheels, working with their periphery, being in contact with the edge of the stone according to a vertical generator and having a tendency to deform, notwithstanding a vertical sweep parallel to the axis of the rotary spindle with which they can be animated. As a result, the final polishing is insufficient, with an imperfect surface condition and in total the formation in the song of the stone of successive facets and not of a surface whose curvature has no discontinuity.

Pour pallier cet inconvénient, le processus mis en oeuvre dans les machines de surfaçage et de polissage de pierres ou éléments préfabriqués massifs posés à plat, consiste après un travail préalable des pierres par les meules à rouleaux entrainées en rotation autour d'un axe vertical jusqu'à une taille de grain acceptable pour ces meules, à retourner la pierre de 90° pour l'amener dans un plan vertical et à finir le polissage de sa surface latérale au moyen d'un autre type de meule,dite meule boisseau, travaillant à plat sur le chant de la pierre.To overcome this drawback, the process implemented in the machines for surfacing and polishing stones or solid prefabricated elements laid flat, consists after a preliminary work of the stones by the grinding wheels with rollers driven in rotation around a vertical axis until '' to an acceptable grain size for these grinding stones, to turn the stone 90 ° to bring it in a vertical plane and to finish polishing its lateral surface by means of another type of grinding wheel, called cup wheel, working flat on the edge of the stone.

Outre l'utilisation indispensable d'un cardan pour le montage de la meule boisseau sous la broche rotative de la machine, qui permet à cette meule la liberté de mouvement indispensable, cette solution présente le désavantage d'exiger un basculement de la pierre pour l'amener de sa pcsition horizontale où elle est posée à plat,en une position verticale, ce qui exige des manutentions difficiles, souvent délicates à mettre en oeuvre sans risque pour la pierre elle-même et qui, de toute façon, grèvent considérablement le prix de revient de l'opération.In addition to the essential use of a gimbal for mounting the cup wheel under the rotary spindle of the machine, which allows this wheel the freedom of movement essential, this solution has the disadvantage of requiring a rocking of the stone for the '' bring from its horizontal position where it is laid flat, in a vertical position, which requires difficult handling, often difficult to implement without risk for the stone itself and which, in any case, significantly increase the price of the operation.

La présente invention a pour objet un dispositif de surfaçage et de polissage du chant d'une pierre ou d'un élément préfabriqué massif, qui évite ces inconvénients en permettant de maintenir en permanence la pierre dans sa position horizontale posée à plat sur son support, sans modifier la conception générale de la machine de polissage qui conserve une broche verticale rotative pour les opérations usuelles effectuées préalablement sur la pierre ainsi que les premières passes de surfaçage et de polissage du chant de celle-ci au moyen d'une meule rouleau classique, la finition de ces opérations étant réalisée par une meule boisseau travaillant à plat sur la surface à polir.The subject of the present invention is a device for surfacing and polishing the edge of a stone or of a solid prefabricated element, which avoids these drawbacks by allowing the stone to be kept permanently in its horizontal position placed flat on its support, without modifying the general design of the polishing machine which retains a rotary vertical spindle for the usual operations previously carried out on the stone as well as the first passes of surfacing and polishing of the edge thereof by means of a conventional roller wheel, the finishing of these operations being carried out by a cup wheel working flat on the surface to be polished.

A cet effet le dispositif considéré, comportant une broche rotative d'entraînement à axe vertical, se carac- térise en ce qu'il comprend un boîtier principal monté à rotation autour dudit axe vertical et recevant un axe d'entraînement horizontal pour une meule boisseau fixée en bout de cet axe horizontal à une extrémité du boîtier et attaquant à plat le chant vertical de la pierre maintenue horizontalement.To this end the device in question, comprising a rotary spindle drive with vertical axis, is cara c - acterised in that it comprises a main housing mounted for rotation about said vertical axis and receiving a horizontal drive spindle for a grinding wheel bushel fixed at the end of this horizontal axis to one end of the case and attacking flat the vertical edge of the stone held horizontally.

Dans un premier mode de réalisation de l'invention, le mouvement de l'axe horizontal est directement obtenu à partir de celui de l'axe vertical de la broche rotative au moyen d'un mécanisme de renvoi à deux pignons coniques fixés respectivement sur les deux axes et engrenant mutuellement l'un avec l'autre.In a first embodiment of the invention, the movement of the horizontal axis is directly obtained from that of the vertical axis of the rotary spindle by means of a return mechanism with two bevel gears fixed respectively on the two axes and meshing with each other.

Avantageusement, l'axe horizontal portant la meule boisseau est guidé dans un prolongement du boîtier sur des paliers d'appui et raccordé à son extrémité opposée à la meule boisseau par un alésage prévu dans cet axe à un raccord tournant relié à une centrale d'alimentation en eau pour le refroidissement de la meule boisseau.Advantageously, the horizontal axis carrying the cup wheel is guided in an extension of the housing on support bearings and connected at its end opposite to the cup wheel by a bore provided in this axis to a rotary connector connected to a central water supply for cooling the cup wheel.

Dans cette première variante de réalisation cependant, la conception du boîtier principal et de son prolongement guidant l'axe horizontal sont tels que la meule 1 boisseau est nécessairement en porte à faux par rapport à l'axe vertical de la broche d'entraînement, créant une réaction limitée de la meule sur la pierre au cours du fonctionnement du dispositif.C'est pourquoi, pour éviter cet effet éventuellement parasite, le boîtier est avantageusement associé à un contre-poids ou à des ressorts de stabilisation, limitant le moment d'inertie du boîtier, qui tend à faire tourner la meule par suite de la rotation de la broche d'entraînement à axe vertical.In this first alternative embodiment, however, the design of the main housing and its extension guiding the horizontal axis are such that the 1-cup wheel is necessarily cantilevered relative to the vertical axis of the drive spindle, creating a limited reaction of the grinding wheel on the stone during the operation of the device. This is why, to avoid this possibly parasitic effect, the housing is advantageously associated with a counterweight or with stabilizing springs, limiting the moment of inertia of the housing, which tends to rotate the grinding wheel due to the rotation of the drive spindle with vertical axis.

Toutefois, dans une autre variante de réalisation, l'effet d'inertie dû à la rotation de la broche verticale est encore réduit en décalant latéralement le boîtier par rapport à l'axe de la broche de manière à disposer directement la meule boisseau dans un plan vertical passant par l'axe de la broche.However, in another alternative embodiment, the inertia effect due to the rotation of the vertical spindle is further reduced by laterally shifting the housing relative to the axis of the spindle so as to directly dispose the cup wheel in a vertical plane passing through the axis of the spindle.

A cet effet, l'axe vertical d'entraînement de la broche rotative porte un pignon droit coopérant avec un autre pignon monté dans un boîtier auxiliaire à l'extrémité d'un axe intermédiaire vertical muni à son extrémité opposée d'un mécanisme à deux pignons coniques entraînant, dans le boîtier principal,l'axe horizontal de la meule boisseau.To this end, the vertical drive axis of the rotary spindle carries a straight pinion cooperating with another pinion mounted in an auxiliary housing at the end of a vertical intermediate axis provided at its opposite end with a mechanism with two bevel gears driving the horizontal axis of the cup wheel in the main housing.

Dans cette seconde variante de réalisation, toutes les autres caractéristiques du dispositif considéré sont conservées, concernant en particulier le guidage de l'axe horizontal de la meule boisseau et l'utilisation à l'extrémité opposée à la meule d'un raccord tournant et d'une centrale d'alimentation en eau.In this second variant embodiment, all the other characteristics of the device considered are retained, in particular concerning the guiding of the horizontal axis of the cup wheel and the use at the end opposite to the wheel of a rotary connector and d '' a central water supply.

Dans l'une et l'autre des deux variantes de réalisation ci-dessus, on transforme ainsi le mouvement de l'axe vertical de la broche en un mouvement horizontal de l'axe de la meule boisseau, celui-ci étant en outre guidé dans le boîtier principal qui peut tourner autour de l'axe vertical de telle sorte que, lorsque la meule est en contact de pression avec le chant de la pierre à polir, elle suive exactement le contour ébauché, quel que soit le profil de celui-ci et notamment la succession de parties droites, concaves ou convexes qu'il présente.In both of the above embodiments, the movement of the vertical axis of the spindle is thus transformed into a horizontal movement of the axis of the cup wheel, the latter being further guided in the main housing which can rotate around the vertical axis so that, when the grinding wheel is in pressure contact with the edge of the polishing stone, it follows exactly the outline outlined, whatever the profile of it ci and in particular the succession of straight, concave or convex parts that it presents.

Il est ainsi possible de fraiser, surfacer et polir avec un degré de finition remarquable le chant de la pierre ou de tout autre élément préfabriqué massif quels que soient les emplacements où doivent agir les meules de travail, en particulier les parties disposées à l'intérieur du volume de la pierre, par exemple les tableaux de fenêtre ou des éléments préfabriqués de façade d'immeubles.It is thus possible to mill, surface and polish with a remarkable degree of finish the edge of the stone or any other solid prefabricated element whatever the places where the grinding stones must act, in particular the parts arranged inside the volume of the stone, for example window paintings or prefabricated elements of building facades.

Dans un autre mode de réalisation de l'invention, le boîtier principal recevant l'axe horizontal d'entraînement de la meule boisseau est directement commandé par un moteur hydraulique ou analogue étant suspendu à une console fixée sur un support de la broche d'entraînement à axe vertical.In another embodiment of the invention, the main housing receiving the horizontal drive axis of the cup wheel is directly controlled by a hydraulic motor or the like being suspended from a console fixed on a support of the drive spindle with vertical axis.

Dans cette même variante, la broche est libre en rotation afin d'autoriser l'orientation de la console portant la meule boisseau par rapport au chant de la pierre à polir, le positionnement du boîtier principal sur la console permettant d'ajuster la position de la meule selon l'usure de cette dernière.In this same variant, the spindle is free to rotate in order to allow the orientation of the console carrying the cup wheel relative to the edge of the polishing stone, the positioning of the main housing on the console making it possible to adjust the position of the grinding wheel according to the wear of the latter.

Other characteristics and advantages of a surfacing and polishing device established in accordance with the invention will become more apparent from the following description of several embodiments, given by way of non-limiting example with reference to the appended drawings in which:

On a repris sur ces diverses figures des chiffres de référence identiques pour désigner sur les unes et les autres les mêmes organes.Identical reference numbers have been used in these various figures to designate the same members on both.

Dans l'exemple de réalisation représenté sur la figure 1, la référence 1 désigne dans son ensemble,un dispositif pour permettre le surfaçage et le polissage du chant vertical latéral d'une pierre ou d'un élément préfabriqué analogue(non représenté),posé à plat sur le support d'une machine d'usinage d'un type en lui-même connu.In the embodiment shown in Figure 1, the reference 1 designates as a whole, a device to allow the surfacing and polishing of the lateral vertical edge of a stone or a similar prefabricated element (not shown), placed flat on the support of a machining machine of a type known per se.

Cette machine comporte notamment une broche verticale montée en rotation autour d'un axe représenté sur le dessin sous la référence 2, le dispositif avec sa bride 3 venant se visser sur la broche à axe vertical 2 de la machine.This machine comprises in particular a vertical spindle mounted for rotation about an axis shown in the drawing under reference 2, the device with its flange 3 being screwed onto the spindle with vertical axis 2 of the machine.

Le dispositif 1 monté sous l'axe vertical 2 de la broche est composé principalement d'un axe de transmission vertical 4 monté à l'intérieur d'un boîtier principal 5 comportant deux parties qui, dans l'exemple de réalisation illustré sur la figure, sont désignées sous les références 5a et 5b et s'étendent sensiblement perpendiculairement l'une à l'autre. L'arbre 4 disposé selon l'axe vertical 2 de la broche est monté rotatif avec cette dernière à l'intérieur de la partie 5a du boîtier sur des paliers à billestels que 6 et 7. A son. extrémité inférieure, l'arbre 4 comporte un embout 8 sur lequel est immobilisé un pignon conique 9 bloqué en bout par une clavette de butée axiale 10.The device 1 mounted under the vertical axis 2 of the spindle is mainly composed of a vertical transmission axis 4 mounted inside a main housing 5 comprising two parts which, in the embodiment illustrated in the figure , are designated under the references 5a and 5b and extend substantially perpendicular to each other.

Le pignon conique 9 est prévu pour coopérer avec un second pignon conique 11,fixé sur l'embout d'extrémité 12 d'un axe horizontal 13,s'étendant à l'intérieur de la seconde partie 5b du boîtier 5, cet arbre 13 ayant son axe horizontal et par conséquent perpendiculaire à l'axe 2 de la broche d'entraînement. L'arbre horizontal 13 est monté rotatif à l'intérieur du boîtier 5b sur des roulements 14 et 15 et comporte à son extrémité opposée à l'extérieur du boîtier une tête 16 sur laquelle peut être immobilisée, par des moyens en eux-mêmes classiques, une meule boisseau 17 dont la figure illustre schématiquement le profil.The bevel gear 9 is designed to cooperate with a second bevel gear 11, fixed on the end piece 12 of a horizontal axis 13, extending inside the second part 5b of the housing 5, this shaft 13 having its horizontal axis and therefore perpendicular to axis 2 of the drive spindle. The horizontal shaft 13 is rotatably mounted inside the housing 5b on bearings 14 and 15 and has at its opposite end outside the housing a head 16 on which can be immobilized, by means in themselves conventional , a cup wheel 17 whose figure schematically illustrates the profile.

A son extrémité opposée, l'axe horizontal 13 comporte un alésage axial 18 sur lequel vient se brancher un raccord tournant 19, lui-même relié à une centrale d'ali- mention en eau (non représentée) permettant d'injecter par l'intérieur de l'axe 13 vers la meule boisseau 17 l'eau nécessaire à la lubrification de cette meule lors de son utilisation pour le surfaçage et le polissage de la pierre à travailler.At its opposite end, the horizontal axis 13 has an axial bore 18 to which a rotary connector 19 is connected, itself connected to a water supply unit (not shown) making it possible to inject by inside the axis 13 towards the cup wheel 17 the water necessary for the lubrication of this wheel during its use for surfacing and polishing the stone to be worked.

Sur la figure 1,la meule boisseau 17 d'un type en lui-même parfaitement connu, est représentée avec une ligne transversale en pointillé 20, schématisant en moyenne la zone d'attaque de la meule sur le chant de la pierre à usiner selon l'usure de cette meule en cours d'utilisation.In FIG. 1, the cup wheel 17 of a type which is itself perfectly known, is shown with a dotted transverse line 20, schematically showing on average the zone of attack of the wheel on the edge of the stone to be machined according to the wear of this grinding wheel during use.

Comme on le voit, la ligne pointillée 20 de la meule est située à une distance désignée sur le dessin par la référence 1 par rapport à l'axe vertical 2 de la broche rotative entraînant l'ensemble du mécanisme et notamment réalisant la rotation de la meule boisseau 17 par l'intermédiaire de son arbre support 13 grâce,au système de renvoi à pignonsconiques 9 et 10.As can be seen, the dotted line 20 of the grinding wheel is located at a distance designated in the drawing by the reference 1 with respect to the vertical axis 2 of the rotary spindle driving the entire mechanism and in particular carrying out the rotation of the cup wheel 17 through its support shaft 13 thanks to the bevel gear system 9 and 10.

Par construction,on réduit autant que possible la distance 1 de manière à éviter le porte à faux de la meule par rapport à l'axe de la broche rotative. En outre, ces dispositions conduisent à transmettre à la meule une certaine inertie du fait de la rotation de l'axe. De plus en raison de la distance 1 précédente, en fonctionnement, la meule 17 a tendance à subir par rapport au chant de la pierre un certain mouvement d'oscillation par rapport à son axe ou encore à "bêcher" légèrement au fur et à mesure de son déplacement sur le chant de la pierre.By construction, the distance 1 is reduced as much as possible so as to avoid the overhang of the grinding wheel with respect to the axis of the rotary spindle. In addition, these provisions lead to transmit to the wheel a certain inertia due to the rotation of the axis. In addition due to the previous distance 1, in operation, the grinding wheel 17 tends to undergo a certain movement of oscillation relative to its axis relative to the edge of the stone or else to "dig" slightly as and when of his movement on the song of stone.

Pour pallier cet inconvénient et limiter autant que possible l'effet d'oscillation de la meule, une première solution peut consister à monter autour du boîtier 5 portant cette dernière un contre-poids ou des ressorts de stabilisation limitant dans une certaine mesure l'effet d'entraînement par inertie du boîtier.To overcome this drawback and limit the oscillation effect of the grinding wheel as much as possible, a first solution may consist in mounting around the housing 5 carrying the latter a counterweight or stabilizing springs to a certain extent limiting the effect inertial drive of the housing.

La figure 2 illustre un autre mode de réalisation du dispositif selon l'invention qui permet d'éliminer plus efficacement/l'effet d'oscillation de la meule et les inconvénients que celui-ci peut présenter pour l'usinage et le surfaçage parfait du chant de la pierre à travailler. Cette solution consiste à éviter tout porte à faux de la meule par rapport à l'axe de rotation de la broche,en ramenant à zéro la valeur de la distance 1 prévue dans le premier exemple de réalisation.Figure 2 illustrates another embodiment of the device according to the invention which makes it possible to more effectively eliminate / the effect of oscillation of the grinding wheel and the drawbacks that this can present for the machining and the perfect surfacing of the edge of the stone to be worked. This solution consists in avoiding any overhang of the grinding wheel with respect to the axis of rotation of the spindle, by reducing to zero the value of the distance 1 provided for in the first embodiment.

A cet effet le dispositif considéré,qui pour l'ensemble reprend les dispositions mécaniques mises en oeuvre dans le premier exemple, comporte un boîtier complémentaire 21 intercalé entre l'axe de rotation vertical 2 de la broche et le corps du boîtier principal 5. A cet effet l'axe 2 de la broche entraine à l'intérieur du boîtier 21 un arbre intermédiaire vertical 22 sur lequel est immobilisé un pignon droit 23 engrenant lui-même avec un pignon 3 de même diamètre 24 immobilisé sur l'axe 4 monté à l'intérieur de la partie 5a du boîtier 5.To this end, the device under consideration, which for the whole takes up the mechanical arrangements implemented in the first example, comprises an additional housing 21 interposed between the vertical axis of rotation 2 of the spindle and the body of the main housing 5. A this effect the axis 2 of the spindle drives inside the housing 21 a vertical intermediate shaft 22 on which is immobilized a straight pinion 23 meshing itself with a pinion 3 of the same diameter 24 immobilized on the axis 4 mounted at the interior of part 5a of the housing 5.

Dans cette variante de réalisation la ligne en pointillé 20,représentant la face moyenne d'attaque de la meule boisseau 17 contre le chant de la pierre à surfacer et à polir selon l'usure de cette meule,se trouve sensiblement dans l'axe vertical 2 de rotation de la broche, ce qui permet d'éliminer l'effet de porte à faux constaté précédemment. Toutefois dans cette variante subsiste encore l'effet d'inertie créé par la rotation de la broche et rend utile de maintenir sur le boîtier principal de l'appareil un contre-poids ou des ressorts permettant d'améliorer la stabilité de l'ensemble.In this alternative embodiment, the dotted line 20, representing the average attack face of the cup wheel 17 against the edge of the stone to be surfaced and polished according to the wear of this wheel, is located substantially in the vertical axis. 2 spindle rotation, which eliminates the cantilever effect noted above. However, in this variant, there still remains the inertia effect created by the rotation of the spindle and makes it useful to maintain a counterweight or springs on the main housing of the device making it possible to improve the stability of the assembly.

Dans une troisième variante de réalisation illustrée sur la figure 3, l'axe vertical de la broche 2 n'assure plus directement la commande du mouvement d'entraînement de l'arbre horizontal de la meule boisseau.In a third variant embodiment illustrated in FIG. 3, the vertical axis of the spindle 2 no longer directly controls the driving movement of the horizontal shaft of the cup wheel.

Dans cette variante, la broche à axe vertical 2 est associée à un support 25 sous lequel est fixée une console 26 par l'intermédiaire d'une bride d'immobilisation 27. A l'extrémité opposée du support 26 est monté le boîtier principal 28 à l'intérieur duquel s'étend horizontalement un arbre d'entraînement horizontal 29,guidé dans le boîtier sur des paliers tels que 30 et 31. A l'une de ses extrémités, l'arbre 29 est directement connecté à un moteur hydraulique ou analogue 32 et comporte à son extrémité opposée une tête 33 sur laquelle est fixée une meule boisseau 34, dont la ligne d'usure médiane schématisée sous la référence 35 est sensiblement disposée dans le plan de l'axe vertical 2 de la broche.In this variant, the spindle with vertical axis 2 is associated with a support 25 under which is fixed a console 26 by means of an immobilizing flange 27. At the opposite end of the support 26 is mounted the main housing 28 inside which extends horizontally a horizontal drive shaft 29, guided in the housing on bearings such as 30 and 31. At one of its ends, the shaft 29 is directly connected to a hydraulic motor or the like 32 and has at its opposite end a head 33 on which is fixed a cup wheel 34, the median wear line shown diagrammatically under the reference 35 is substantially arranged in the plane of the vertical axis 2 of the spindle.

Dans cette variante, la broche de la machine est ainsi laissée libre en rotation pour permettre à la face de la meule boisseau de s'orienter par rapport au chant de la pierre posée à plat qu'il conviçnt,selon l'invention,de surfacer et de polir.In this variant, the spindle of the machine is thus left free to rotate to allow the face of the cup wheel to be oriented relative to the edge of the stone laid flat which it is suitable, according to the invention, to surface and polish.

L'ensemble réalisé est de conception très simple et rapide à monter,nécessitant seulement son adaptation à la broche rotative 2 et sa fixation à la manière d'un mandrin porte-outils. A noter que la conception du dispositif dans cette-troisième variante de réalisation permet d'ajuster facilement la position de la meule par rapport au chant de la pierre à surfacer et polir afin d'obtenir une meilleure tenue de l'ensemble lorsque la meule se déplace en pression sur les formes convaves ou convexes du chant de cette pierre.The assembly produced is very simple and quick to assemble, requiring only its adaptation to the rotary spindle 2 and its fixing in the manner of a tool chuck. Note that the design of the device in this third embodiment allows the position of the grinding wheel to be easily adjusted relative to the edge of the stone to be surfaced and polished in order to obtain a better hold of the assembly when the grinding wheel moves under pressure on the convave or convex forms of the song of this stone.

La figure 4 représente une autre variante dérivée de celle de la figure 3. Cette autre variante se différencie de la précédente par le fait que le boîtier principal correspondant 28a, à l'intérieur duquel s'étend l'arbre d'entraînement 29a, est attaché au support correspondant 25a par l'intermédiaire d'un dispositif de liaison articulée. Ce dispositif comprend un bras 26a solidaire du support 25a et une plaque 26b solidaire du boîtier 28a. Ces deux pièces s'articulent autour d'un axe commun 36. De plus le bras 26a porte un doigt 37 engagé dans une fente 38 en forme d'arc de cercle ménagée dans la plaque 26b, ce doigt portant lui-même un écrou de blocage muni d'un levier de manoeuvre 39.FIG. 4 represents another variant derived from that of FIG. 3. This other variant differs from the previous one in that the corresponding main housing 28a, inside which the drive shaft 29a extends, is attached to the corresponding support 25a via an articulated connection device. This availability sitive comprises an arm 26a secured to the support 25a and a plate 26b secured to the housing 28a. These two parts are articulated around a common axis 36. In addition, the arm 26a carries a finger 37 engaged in a slot 38 in the form of an arc of a circle formed in the plate 26b, this finger itself carrying a lock nut. blocking provided with an operating lever 39.

Ainsi il est possible d'incliner le boîtier 28b en le faisant pivoter autour de l'axe 36 et en le bloquant dans la position voulue au moyen du levier 39. Ceci permet d'utiliser l'appareil correspondant pour effectuer le polissage de chants inclinés et non pas seulement pour celui de chants verticaux d'une pierre ou similaire.Thus it is possible to tilt the housing 28b by pivoting it around the axis 36 and locking it in the desired position by means of the lever 39. This allows the corresponding apparatus to be used for polishing inclined edges and not just for the vertical chanting of a stone or the like.

Cependant dans cette variante l'agencement de l'appareil reste par ailleurs le même que dans la variante selon la figure 3. Ainsi le support 25a est également agencé pour être associé à la broche d'entraînement 2 dans les mêmes conditions que précédemment. Quant à l'arbre de la meule 34a, il est monté dans le boîtier 28a de la même façon et son entraînement est assuré par un moteur hydraulique 32a, ou analogue, dont le carter est fixé sur l'extrémité du boîtier 28a qui est opposée à la meule 34a.However, in this variant, the arrangement of the device also remains the same as in the variant according to FIG. 3. Thus the support 25a is also arranged to be associated with the drive spindle 2 under the same conditions as above. As for the shaft of the grinding wheel 34a, it is mounted in the housing 28a in the same way and its drive is ensured by a hydraulic motor 32a, or the like, the housing of which is fixed on the end of the housing 28a which is opposite to the wheel 34a.

Bien entendu, il va de soi que l'invention ne se limite pas aux seuls exemples de réalisation plus spécialement décrits et représentés ci-dessus; elle en embrasse au contraire toutes les variantes.Of course, it goes without saying that the invention is not limited to the sole examples of embodiment more especially described and represented above; on the contrary, it embraces all its variants.
