Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a series of manual, professional, middlelarge machines for cutting very hard tiles, even of the monobaked kind, with a thick glass-like covering and/or heterogeneous structure, whose functionality, productivity and accuracy of cutting is the goal of an integrated collection of numerous original combinations of components and subcomponents, only partially known, characterized also for their dimensions and proportions.
  • the basis of the tile cutting art, for cutting a tile P, substantially without material removal, is the provision of a scoring groove I, of deepness i, i.e., for weakening the cross section S, at a vertical plane, corresponding to the cutting T to be made and then stressing, by a force F, contemporarily, mutually, the two parts A and B of tile P, siding the scoring groove I, in at least one point 66, respect at least one point 33 of reaction, coincident with the cutting plane T, i.e., the plane of provision of scoring groove I.
  • the machines for cutting tiles do not comply with these requirements. While the tiles - mainly used as wall coating - were of the kind with soft body and a thin layer of glass like material as covering, every kind of cutting machine employed suited well the cutting purpose and the wrong cuttings were mainly to be attributed to defects of the tile, more than to defects of the devices comprised in the tile cutting machine.
  • the poor attitude of the tiles to bear the necessary mechanical stress, either during working, or during the tile application, or during cutting, were agreeable reasons for limiting their dimensions. In turn, the tile reduced dimensions did not raise problems with the cutting machines designed to cut them, since these, in no case, were loaded at the maximum.
  • scoring grooves already conditioned by inconstancy of manual torque applied, particularly in intervals remote from supports, also for bending reason, resulted in scoring groove segments scarcely engraved; thus such scarcely engraved grooves might result in vitiated cross breakings not corresponding with the cut line wanted and provide either a minor deviation from the clear cut or main deviations through a plane completely wrong or diverging.
  • the provision of a higher stiffness involves heavy and dear structures which, for a portable and manual machine is a serious limitation, not better than its bad functioning.
  • the closest prior art is the tile cutting machine of FR-A-1 356 714, which has the features of the preamble of claim 1.
  • the object of the invention is to produce a lighter machine which may be more easily operated and in which the position of the tile to be cut is not critical. This is accomplished by the features of the characterising portion of claim 1.
  • a scoring tool carrier of the thrust kind is known per se from FR-A-1 563 916, and a hinging pivot and goniometric segment are known from EP-A-0 315 728, but none of the prior art documents discloses :
  • the invention as claimed is intended to remedy these drawbacks.
  • the inventor with ingenious perception has conceived a series of manual, professional, middlelarge machines for cutting very hard tiles, even of the monobaked kind, with a thick glass-like covering and/or heterogeneous structure, whose functionality, productivity and accuracy of cutting is the goal of an integrated collection of numerous original combinations of components and subcomponents, only in part known, characterized also for their dimensions and proportions, thus providing the goal of:
  • maximizations in practice, include respectively, the following particulars:
  • the system is of the kind comprising at least a bridge guide, with a device for tile soft scoring and tile heavy cutting effects, which is provided at one end of the bridge-guide, whose other end is substantially hinged or contained by wall like members, adjustable in accordance with the tile thickness, wherein the same bridge guide is provided, in central longitudinal position, with a pair of shoe-like pressers, mounted free to oscillate and provided each with a pair of contact points, in order to comprise a system of four upper points, placed bridge-like over a middle bottom blade, placed at the centre of four upper points and comprising at least two points.
  • the six points have been increased, substantially segmenting the upper acting pressing member of the shoe-like pressers, as well as the bottom sharp middle blade or wedge, providing the reaction, having however care to graduate the top levels of the various segments to provide a stepped operability, in accordance with working progress.
  • the members designed to heavily stress the tile are sturdily fastened to absolutely stuff parts of the machine structure, being concentrated, in order to provide the necessary stiffness and minimizing the structure weights.
  • Determinative for the invention is the combination, between a thrust scoring tool and a fastening device, wherein the former is easily movable with one hand, while, with the other hand, the tile is kept at rest, in soft manner when referred to the possibility of cutting, but firmly when referred to the tile being scored.
  • each machine is characterized by the combination in which: the scoring tool is of the thrust kind and has a control member movable in the interval of half meter about the position of handles, to control the soft scoring and cutting vicing.
  • the hinging rod of the gauge is mounted stationary on the base, close aside the projection of the plane view of the body of the scoring tool, at the end of the stroke, so that the goniometric segment rests in the room adapted to receive the body of the same scoring tool.

  • the worst condition is, of course, that of machine V, supposing that a tile P of 92 cm of side is to be cut, i.e., a tile engaging the whole capacity of the machine.
  • the cutting is to be provided at a distance of 2 cm from the tile edge; since in the machine V the length ll, comprised between the point 66 of application of the force and the end of the cutting T or of the scoring groove I, is of 60 cm, the graph indicates that the slanting lines of reading, starting respectively from point 2 of the right ordinate and from point 60 of the upper abscissae, join in one point, which is on the border line with the area i' of scoring in the upper part of it; thus the graph indicates that the tile will cut at the groove I of scoring provided that the scoring groove Is suitably made; from the graph it may also be noted that the cutting strength, in such point, is about equal to 44% of the total.
  • the machine user obtains a professional set, of one or more machines, covering the tile dimensions of his most frequent application, but he will, each time, carry with him the machine adapted to cut the maximum tile side or diagonal size of the tile comprising the floor to be tiled.
  • the pressers 9, 9' engage perfectly the tile surface.
