If the slide 7 has a non-cylindrical and, for example, square section, the rotation of the carriage 8 around the axis xx ′ of the slide 7 can be obtained by interposing an intermediate piece, of the bearing type.
  • the roller 16 is supported by a rule 31 , integral with the table 4 by any known technical means and in particular, by screwing, said rule extending parallel to the axis xx ′ and in the same direction and having an upper face 32 which constitutes a raceway for the roller 16 .
  • the rule 31 is arranged on the table 4 , along a rotary grinding wheel 33 , so that a portion of the raceway 32 extends in line with the sharpening member of the grinding wheel 33 .
  • the height H of the raceway 32 determines the profile of the raceway 32 and defines the position of the plate 12 around its pivot axis xx ′ and thereby defines , the position of the knife 23 relative to the sharpening member of the rotary grinding wheel 33 . Consequently, rule 31 will present a variable height H according to the length portion considered and defining the height of the raceway.
  • the portion of the raceway 32 extending in line with the sharpening member of the grinding wheel 33 , has a height less than the other portions of the rule 31 .
  • raceway 32 can have variable increasing, decreasing or even constant heights, outside the previously defined lowering zone, to accommodate different practical situations.
  • the rotary grinding wheel 33 whose sharpening member has a shape similar to a circular ring, is provided with a protective casing 33 a and is preferably arranged in a central portion of the frame 1 to which it is connected by through a chassis 34 , articulated on the main frame 1 around a parallel axis 35 , in the same direction as the axis xx ′ and extending, preferably, at a level below the carriage 8 and under this latest.
  • the rotary grinding wheel 33 is mounted, with respect to the vertical direction, with an inclination whose angulation is given by the angle formed by the vertical direction and the axis of symmetry of the grinding wheel or the circular ring. .
  • This arrangement makes it possible to define, with respect to the upper face 21 of the plate 12 , a sharpening plane considered to be constant.
  • An elastic means preferably at least one helical spring 36 , is interposed between the articulated frame 34 and the main frame 1 , so as to produce an elastic suspension conferring a possibility of controlled and elastic rotation of the rotary grinding wheel 33 around the axis 35 .
  • the suspension system can, of course, be produced by interposing the spring or springs 36 in different directions and fixing them on supports arranged in various locations on the chassis 34 or on the frame 1 , without departing from the framework of the invention.
  • the spring 36 is a tension spring whose sensitivity can be adjusted by any known means of tensioning.
  • the rotary grinding wheel 33 is provided with conventional sharpening members, not forming part of the scope of the invention, and its drive is also ensured, in known manner, by a motor assembly which can be electric for example.
  • Figs. 4 and 5 illustrate an alternative embodiment according to the invention, in which the elastic suspension of the grinding wheel 33 is produced by mounting a compression spring 40 ( fig. 5 ) against a wing 41 of the articulated frame 34 supporting the grinding wheel 33 .
  • the spring 40 is held prestressed by an assembly consisting of a compression plate 42 and an adjustment screw 43 of axis coinciding with the longitudinal axis of symmetry of the spring 40 passing through, on one side, the plate 42 and, on the other side, the main frame 1 and, for example, the table 4 .
  • the adjustment screw 43 is held in place, at one end, by a nut 45 bearing against the plate 42 and, at the other end, by an adjustment wheel 46 bearing against a stop 47 .
  • This assembly thus makes it possible, by simple rotation in one direction or the other of the wheel 46 , to adjust the compression of the spring 40 and thus to adjust, precisely and continuously, the floating suspension of the grinding wheel 33 . Thanks to this arrangement, it is possible to obtain, by choosing a spring 40 of large diameter, a very fine adjustment of the sensitivity of the elastic mounting leading to a high sensitivity of erasure of the grinding wheel 33 in the event of a heterogeneous surface to be sharpened. . This avoids the harmful phenomena of burning the object to be sharpened.
  • a vibration damping device 50 comprising, for example, a damping spring 51 , interposed, on the one hand, between an arm shock absorber 52 secured, by an axis 53 , to a viscostatic damping member 54 and, for example, on the other hand, the frame 1 of the sharpening device.
  • the user moves himself, or by means of a drive member, the movable carriage 8 in one of the two extreme abutment positions of the carriage 8 along its sliding axis xx ′ . It can be considered that one of these positions is illustrated by the position in solid lines of the carriage 8 shown in FIG. 2 .
  • the user by actuating the three levers 27 controlling the immobilizing means 22 , will position the sharpening knife 231 on the upper face 21 of the plate 12 .
  • the knife 23 is then immobilized and locked in position according to the chosen sharpening angle, which can moreover be determined using a set mounted on the main frame 1 .
  • each blocking member 26 can immobilize and properly lock knives 23 of varying shapes and dimensions.
  • the user determines the depth of the sharpening carried out by the grinding wheel 33 by controlling the positioning of the knife 23 within the limits defined by the recess 15 .
  • the user controls the movement of the carriage 8 according to the arrow f2 , said movement leading the carriage 8 and the knife which it carries progressively through the sharpening plane defined by the grinding wheel and the knife and this at a predetermined angle.
  • the surface to be sharpened includes bosses, nicks or the like, leading to an increase in the pressure of the knife on the grinding wheel 33 , the latter is instantly erased, as soon as the pressure exerted is greater than the sensitivity force of the suspension elastic.
  • a simple visual inspection of the surface condition of the knife, prior to sharpening allows the operator to set the desired degree of erasure sensitivity himself. The operator can repeat the sharpening until the grinding wheel 33 is no longer moved during the passage of the knife, thus indicating a perfect cutting profile, obtained without burning.
  • the mobile carriage 8 is in an extreme stop position, located to the right of the rotary grinding wheel 33 , as illustrated in FIG. 2 and the user can then, if he wishes to perform the sharpening of the other face of the knife 23 , unlock the latter, then position it in the reverse position illustrated by the reference 232 in FIG. 2 .
  • the second face of the knife 23 will therefore also be sharpened at a predetermined angle identical or not to that of its other face.
  • the knives 233 and 234 illustrate other sharpening positions for the knives 23 .
  • the spring or springs 36 or 40 keep the rotary grinding wheel 33 in elastic abutment against the knife 23 .
  • a cursor 60 secured to the carriage 8 and, preferably, to the underside of the plate 12 , said cursor being mounted movably and freely sliding on said plate 12 in the defined directions. by the axis xx ′ .
  • the cursor 60 has, in a longitudinal section, a profile having two end wings 61 a and 61 b in inverted "U" , bordering the central core 62 , which defines a rolling surface for a roller 63 , integral with the articulated frame 34 supporting the grinding wheel 33 .
  • the two wings 61 a and 61 b surround the roller 63 and serve as a stop for this last during the sliding of the carriage 8 in one or the other of the directions f3 or f4 defined by the sliding axis xx ′ .
  • the profile of the central core 62 comprises a first section 62 a , called the clearance section, adjacent to the wing 61 a and, preferably, inclined starting from the wing 61 a gradually towards the inside of the "U" profile. " of cursor 60 .
  • the profile of the central core 62 ends, in the direction of the wing 61 b , by a second section 62 b , called the rest section, forming a recess relative to the rolling surface defined by the first section 62 a .
  • the positioning and the relative dimensioning of the cursor 60 and the roller 63 are chosen such that, when the rolling roller 16 is supported on the rule 31 , the roller 63 sits in the recess defined by the second section 62 b , without contact with the cursor 60 , while the surface of the first section 61 b is intended to come into contact with the roller 63 and to provide, by reaction, a force directed in the direction f5 tending to push the roller 63 according to this same direction.
  • the cursor 60 has no action, since the roller 63 is simply in abutment against the wing 61 b , as shown in FIG. 6 .
  • the cursor 60 is locked in position against the roller 63 while the carriage moves in the direction f3 and that the sharpening takes place, the grinding wheel 33 being, moreover, in flexible elastic support, since the roller 63 is not not requested by the cursor.
  • the knife sharpening device allows the mechanization and automation of a sharpening operation which has hitherto been carried out entirely manually.
  • the device according to the invention also has the advantage of being able to sharpen, symmetrically and at the same angle, the two faces of the same knife, by simply reversing the positioning of the knife 23 on the plate 12 . The positioning of the knife is greatly facilitated by the disengagement of the grinding wheel 33 using the cursor 60 .
  • the sharpening device is, in particular, usable for any type of workpiece requiring sharpening at a predetermined angle.
