Description

Les machines de coupe de carreaux de faïence, de grès ou de matériaux analogues, permettent de réaliser toutes les coupes nécessaires pour la confection d'un carrelage complet. Néanmoins, très souvent, les surfaces à carreler ayant des formes géométriques et les carreaux aussi, les carreleurs s'efforcent de concevoir les carrelages de manière à n'avoir à réaliser que des coupes simples.The machines for cutting earthenware tiles, sandstone or similar materials make it possible to make all the cuts necessary for making a complete tile. However, very often, the surfaces to be tiled having geometric shapes and the tiles too, the tilers try to design the tiles so that they only have to make simple cuts.

L'une de ces coupes simples est celle d'un carreau carré suivant une diagonale de ce carreau. Le réglage du carreau en dessous de l'outil de coupe est réalisé à ce jour uniquement visuellement, par approximations successives.One of these simple cuts is that of a square tile along a diagonal of this tile. The adjustment of the tile below the cutting tool is done to date only visually, by successive approximations.

L'invention vise à rendre ce réglage automatique, bien entendu également précis, et simple à réaliser.The invention aims to make this automatic adjustment, of course also precise, and simple to perform.

L'invention est donc relative à une machine à couper les carreaux, notamment de faïence, comportant: un bâti qui présente un fond plan destiné à supporter un carreau en vue de sa coupe, un axe de coupe dudit fond, ledit fond présentant deux extrémités longitudinales, et, à proximité d'une première desdites extrémités longitudinales, une première fente susceptible de recevoir une première arête d'un carreau à découper, centrée dans le plan contenant l'axe de coupe et perpendiculaire au fond du bâti; un dispositif de glissières longitudinales parallèles à l'axe de coupe; un premier coulisseau monté mobile sur ledit dispositif de glissières, support d'un outil de coupe des carreaux; et, un profilé longitudinal, solidaire du bâti, disposé parallèlement à l'axe de coupe, ayant une arête disposée en saillie par rapport au fond du bâti, contenue dans le plan perpendiculaire au fond contenant l'axe de coupe et destinée à permettre la casse du carreau après réalisation de sa coupe.The invention therefore relates to a machine for cutting tiles, in particular earthenware, comprising: a frame which has a flat bottom intended to support a tile for its cutting, a cutting axis of said bottom, said bottom having two ends longitudinal, and, near a first of said longitudinal ends, a first slot capable of receiving a first edge of a tile to be cut, centered in the plane containing the cutting axis and perpendicular to the bottom of the frame; a device for longitudinal slides parallel to the cutting axis; a first slide mounted mobile on said slide device, support for a tile cutting tool; and, a longitudinal profile, integral with the frame, arranged parallel to the cutting axis, having an edge projecting relative to the bottom of the frame, contained in the plane perpendicular to the bottom containing the cutting axis and intended to allow the breaks the tile after making its cut.

Selon l'invention, un deuxième coulisseau est monté coulissant le long du profilé de casse de carreaux et présente une deuxième fente, qui estsus- ceptible de recevoir une deuxième arête dudit carreau à découper, qui est centrée dans le plan contenant l'axe de coupe et perpendiculaire au fond du bâti, et dont l'orientation par rapport audit plan est maintenue constante par ledit profilé de casse.According to the invention, a second slide is slidably mounted along the tile breaking profile and has a second slot, which is capable of receiving a second edge of said tile to be cut, which is centered in the plane containing the axis of section and perpendicular to the bottom of the frame, and whose orientation relative to said plane is kept constant by said break profile.

Les avantageuses dispositions suivantes sont en outre de préférence adoptées:

  • - le deuxième coulisseau comporte une rainure de guidage, qui chevauche, et est guidée par le profilé de casse et qui est uniquement posée sur ledit profilé de casse;
  • - chacune des première et deuxième fentes est délimitée par deux premières faces planes perpendiculaires au fond du bâti et a une section droite conformée en un V dont le plan bissecteur, perpendiculaire au fond du bâti, contient ledit axe de coupe;
  • - les branches du V forment un angle de 90°;
  • - chacune des deux premières faces de chaque fente se prolonge, à proximité de l'arête du V, par une deuxième face plane, perpendiculaire au fond du bâti, parallèle à l'axe de coupe et ne contenant pas celui-ci.
The following advantageous arrangements are also preferably adopted:
  • - The second slide has a guide groove, which overlaps, and is guided by the break profile and which is only placed on said break profile;
  • - Each of the first and second slots is delimited by two first flat faces perpendicular to the bottom of the frame and has a cross section shaped like a V whose bisecting plane, perpendicular to the bottom of the frame, contains said cutting axis;
  • - the branches of the V form an angle of 90 °;
  • - Each of the first two faces of each slot extends, near the edge of the V, by a second flat face, perpendicular to the bottom of the frame, parallel to the cutting axis and not containing it.

L'avantage principal de l'invention réside dans le fait qu'elle permet, par la mise en oeuvre simple d'un complément peu coûteux aux machines connues, de réaliser des coupes précises de carreaux carrés, ou plus généralement comportant deux arêtes selon leurs diagonales, quelques soient les dimensions initiales de ces carreaux.The main advantage of the invention lies in the fact that it allows, by the simple implementation of an inexpensive addition to known machines, to make precise cuts of square tiles, or more generally comprising two edges according to their diagonal, whatever the initial dimensions of these tiles.

L'invention sera mieux comprise, et des caractéristiques secondaires et leurs avantages apparaîtront au cours de la description d'une réalisation donnée ci-dessous à titre d'exemple.The invention will be better understood, and secondary characteristics and their advantages will appear during the description of an embodiment given below by way of example.

La machine à couper les carreaux de faïence, de grès, ou analogues représentée sur les figures comporte:

  • - un bâti 1 présentant un fond plan 2, une première extrémité 3 et une deuxième extrémité 4, ainsi que des colonnes 5, qui s'érigent perpendiculairement au fond 2, au nombre de deux sur chaque extrémité et supportent des tiges parallèles entre elles, parallèles à l'axe de coupe 7 du fond 2, constituant des glissières;
  • - unpremiercouiisseau8estmontésurcestiges 6, coulissant parallèlement à l'axe 7, et supporte un organe de coupe 9, constitué en l'espèce par une roulette de coupe montée rotative sur le premier coulisseau 8 autour d'un axe 10 parallèle au fond 2 et perpendiculaire à l'axe de coupe 7, le plan de la roulette contenant ledit axe de coupe 7, cependant qu'un levier de manoeuvre 11 permet, de manière connue, à la fois de déplacer le premier coulisseau 8 le long des tiges 6, et, de commander l'appui de l'organe de coupe 9 sur le carreau carré à couper 12;
  • - un profilé 13, solidaire du fond 2 et en saillie par rapport à ce fond, dont l'arête 14 est contenue dans le plan P longitudinal, qui contient l'axe de coupe 7 en étant perpendiculaire au fond 2; le profilé 13 et son arête 14 permettant après la coupe dudit carreau 12 par l'organe de coupe 9 la casse dudit carreau le long de la ligne de coupe;
  • - des plaques d'élastomère 15, d'épaisseur constante, reposent sur le fond 2 en étant disposées de part et d'autres du profilé de casse 13.
The machine for cutting earthenware, sandstone, or the like shown in the figures comprises:
  • - a frame 1 having a flat bottom 2, a first end 3 and a second end 4, as well as columns 5, which are erected perpendicular to the bottom 2, two in number on each end and support rods parallel to each other, parallel to the cutting axis 7 of the bottom 2, constituting slides;
  • - A firstcouiisseau8estmontésurcestiges 6, sliding parallel to the axis 7, and supports a cutting member 9, constituted in this case by a cutting wheel rotatably mounted on the first slide 8 around an axis 10 parallel to the bottom 2 and perpendicular to the cutting axis 7, the plane of the wheel containing said cutting axis 7, while an operating lever 11 makes it possible, in a known manner, both to move the first slide 8 along the rods 6, and, to command the support of the cutting member 9 on the square tile to be cut 12;
  • - A profile 13, integral with the bottom 2 and projecting from this bottom, the edge 14 of which is contained in the longitudinal plane P, which contains the cutting axis 7 while being perpendicular to the bottom 2; the profile 13 and its edge 14 allowing after the cutting of said tile 12 by the cutting member 9 the breakage of said tile along the cutting line;
  • - elastomer plates 15, of constant thickness, rest on the bottom 2 while being dis placed on either side of the breaker profile 13.

La première extrémité 3 du bâti comporte en outre une première fente 16, délimitée par deux premières faces 17 planes, perpendiculaires au fond 2, dont la section droite transversale est conformée en un V. Dans la réalisation représentée, le V est symétrique par rapport au plan P et ouvert à 90° (ou encore son plan bissecteur est confondu avec le plan P). Des deuxièmes faces 18, perpendiculaires au fond 2, planes également, et parallèles au plan P, prolongent lesdites premières faces 17, et ne passant pas par le plan contenant l'axe de coupe, forment un évidement 19 de logement d'une première arête 20 du carreau 12. Le fond 21 de la première fente 16 est placé au même niveau ou légèrement en dessous de la face supérieure 15A des plaques d'élastomère 15.The first end 3 of the frame further comprises a first slot 16, delimited by two first planar faces 17, perpendicular to the bottom 2, the cross section of which is shaped like a V. In the embodiment shown, the V is symmetrical with respect to the plane P and open at 90 ° (or its bisector plane coincides with the plane P). Second faces 18, perpendicular to the bottom 2, also planar, and parallel to the plane P, extend said first faces 17, and not passing through the plane containing the cutting axis, form a recess 19 for housing a first edge 20 of the pane 12. The bottom 21 of the first slot 16 is placed at the same level or slightly below the upper face 15A of the elastomer plates 15.

De manière analogue, un deuxième coulisseau 22, comporte une rainure inférieure 23 de forme complémentaire de celle du profilé de casse 13, lui permettant, en recouvrant l'arête 14 du profilé de casse, de chevaucher celui-ci, tant en ayant son oriten- tation maintenue constante par rapport au plan P et comporte aussi une deuxième fente 24, délimitée par deux premières faces 25 planes, perpendiculaires au fond 2, dont la section droite transversale est conformée en un V. Dans la réalisation représentée, compte-tenu du maintien de l'orientation du deuxième coulisseau 22 par rapport au plan P, le V de la section transversale est, en permanence, symétrique par rapport au plan P et ouvert à 90°. Des deuxièmes faces 26, perpendiculaires au fond 2, planes également, et parallèles au plan P, prolongent lesdites premières faces 25, ne passent pas par le plan contenant l'axe de coupe, et, forment un évidement 27 de logement d'une deuxième arête 28 du carreau 12. Le fond 29 de la deuxième fente 24 est placé au même niveau ou légèrement en dessous de la face supérieure 15Ades plaques d'élastomère 15. Le deuxième coulisseau 22 est par ailleurs placé entre les première 3 et deuxième 4 extrémités du bâti 1.Similarly, a second slide 22 has a lower groove 23 of shape complementary to that of the break profile 13, allowing it, by covering the edge 14 of the break profile, to overlap the latter, both having its oriten - Station held constant with respect to the plane P and also includes a second slot 24, delimited by two first planar faces 25, perpendicular to the bottom 2, the cross section of which is shaped as a V. In the embodiment shown, taking into account the maintaining the orientation of the second slide 22 relative to the plane P, the V of the cross section is permanently symmetrical with respect to the plane P and open at 90 °. Second faces 26, perpendicular to the bottom 2, also flat, and parallel to the plane P, extend said first faces 25, do not pass through the plane containing the cutting axis, and form a recess 27 for housing a second edge 28 of the pane 12. The bottom 29 of the second slot 24 is placed at the same level or slightly below the upper face 15 of the elastomer plates 15. The second slide 22 is moreover placed between the first 3 and second 4 ends of the frame 1.

Dans les réalisations représentées, le deuxième coulisseau 22 est distinct du reste de la machine, amovible par rapport à cette machine, et simplement mis en place au dessus du profilé de casse 13. Il est possible en variante de concevoir la forme de la rainure 23 et du profilé 13 de manière que ledit deuxième coulisseau 22 demeure monté sur la machine, sans être facilement amovible.In the embodiments shown, the second slide 22 is separate from the rest of the machine, removable with respect to this machine, and simply placed above the breakage profile 13. It is possible as a variant to design the shape of the groove 23 and profile 13 so that said second slide 22 remains mounted on the machine, without being easily removable.

Il est également possible, en variante, de prévoir une ouverture des V des première fente 16 et deuxième fente 24 différente de 90°. En effet, les fentes 16 et 24 ont pour but de réaliser un centrage simple et précis d'une diagonale 12A du carreau 12 en la plaçant dans le plan P de coupe, ceci par simple introduction des arêtes 20 et 28 dans lesdites fentes.It is also possible, as a variant, to provide an opening of the Vs of the first slot 16 and second slot 24 other than 90 °. Indeed, the slots 16 and 24 are intended to achieve a simple and precise centering of a diagonal 12A of the pane 12 by placing it in the plane P of cutting, this by simple introduction of the edges 20 and 28 in said slots.

Lorsque, comme dans l'exemple représenté, le carreau 12 a une forme carrée, l'angle des V doit être égal à 90°. Il doit alors être observé que la mise en place de deux sommets opposés du carreau 12 dans les fentes 16 et 24 et la mise en appui des côtés dudit carreau délimitant lesdits sommets sur les premières faces planes 17 et 25 des fentes 16 et 24 permettent de placer très simplement et avec précision la diagonale du carreau 12 passant par lesdits sommets dans ledit plan P, ce qui permet bien sûr ultérieurement de réaliser une coupe précise du carreau le long de cette diagonale. Il est par ailleurs facile de concevoir que pour une forme différente du carreau 12, l'angle du V devrait être différent. Ainsi, pour couper un carreau hexagonal suivant une diagonale joignant deux arêtes diamétralement opposées, l'angle des V devrait être égal à 120° pour recevoir avec précision les côtés du carreau délimitant lesdites arêtes.When, as in the example shown, the square 12 has a square shape, the angle of the V must be equal to 90 °. It must then be observed that the establishment of two opposite vertices of the pane 12 in the slots 16 and 24 and the abutment of the sides of said pane delimiting said vertices on the first flat faces 17 and 25 of the slots 16 and 24 allow very simply and precisely place the diagonal of the square 12 passing through the said vertices in the said plane P, which of course makes it possible later to make a precise cut of the square along this diagonal. It is also easy to imagine that for a different shape of the tile 12, the angle of the V should be different. Thus, to cut a hexagonal tile along a diagonal joining two diametrically opposite edges, the angle of the Vs should be equal to 120 ° to receive precisely the sides of the tile delimiting said edges.

A noter que le libre coulissement du deuxième coulisseau 22 le long du profilé de casse 13 permet l'adaptation instantanée de la machine à la coupe de carreaux de même forme, mais de dimensions différentes.Note that the free sliding of the second slide 22 along the breakage profile 13 allows instant adaptation of the machine to the cutting of tiles of the same shape, but of different dimensions.

L'invention n'est pas limitée à la réalisation décrite, mais en couvre au contraire toutes les variantes qui pourraient lui être apportées sans sortir de son cadre, ni de son esprit.The invention is not limited to the embodiment described, but on the contrary covers all the variants which could be made to it without departing from its scope or its spirit.
