Abstract
A device for independently raising machine tool
protective devices comprises a plurality of bodies
(1), each of which rotates about its own axis (5) and
which are connected in one another by a support (2),
free to rotate about a pin (3) which is integral with
the protective device (4). In the home position, the
pin (3) is at a height greater than that of the axis
(5a) of the rotary body (1a) which makes contact with
a workpiece (6) to be machined, so that when pushed
by the latter, the pin (3) and the protective device
(4) integral with it are raised.
Description
- The present invention relates to a device for independently raising machine tool protective devices.
- As is known, there are strict safety regulations for the protection of the operators of particular machine tools, such as saws, routers and planer/thicknessers.
- Such regulations necessitate the use of mobile guards whose positions can be adapted to the dimensions of the workpiece to be machined, or at least its height. However, the majority of known guards are moved manually, meaning that, in practice, due to the inconvenience of continuously having to move the guard, most operators work with the guard off, thus exposing themselves to the risk of injury.
- The aim of the present invention is, therefore, to overcome the above-mentioned disadvantages. The present invention, as described in the claims herein, solves the problem of raising machine tool protective devices by means of the thrust from the workpiece to be machined.
- One of the advantages of the present invention is basically that the protective device does not have to be moved manually and, as a result, its protective function is further guaranteed.
- Moreover, the device automatically adopts the position which provides maximum protection without requiring that the operator evaluates its correct positioning.
- The technical characteristics of the invention, in accordance with the aims, are clearly described in the claims herein and the advantages are apparent from the detailed description which follows, with reference to the accompanying drawings, which illustrate a preferred embodiment of the invention, without limiting the scope of application, and in which:
- Figure 1 is a front view of the present invention in the home position;
- Figure 2 illustrates the invention in a succession of positions assumed during its operation.
- The present invention relates to a device for independently raising machine tool protective devices.
- As can be seen in the accompanying drawings, the present invention comprises a set of rotary bodies 1, such as rollers or wheels, connected to one another by a
support 2, which is also free to rotate about apin 3 and which is integral with theprotective device 4. Each of the rotary bodies 1 can, therefore, rotate not only about to itsown axis 5, shown in Figure 1 but also all together and with thesupport 2 about thepin 3. - For correct operation, when the
device 10 is in the home position, thepin 3 must be at a height above that of theaxis 5a of the rotary body la which makes contact with aworkpiece 6 to be machined. When theworkpiece 6 to be machined makes contact with this rotary body la, it applies a thrust labelled S in Figure 2 which causes a constraining reaction R localisable in thepin 3. The torque produced causes a clockwise moment and a similar rotation of the entire device 10: subsequently, a second rotary body (1b) moves over the upper edge of theworkpiece 6 to be machined, raising thepin 3 and theprotective device 4 which is integral with the pin. As it continues its forward motion, theworkpiece 6 continues to push the rotary body la, further raising thedevice 10, which moves over theworkpiece 6 to be machined. When the workpiece reaches its final position, theprotective device 4 is above it, with possible settling due to the effects of gravity, corresponding with a position offering maximum protection, in the case of irregularities in the upper surface of theworkpiece 6 to be machined. - In a preferred embodiment, which in no way limits the scope of application of the invention, but is used here by way of example, the
device 10 comprises three wheels 1, whose centres are separated from one another by an angle of 120°. - The present invention may be subject to numerous variations, all encompassed by the original design concept. Moreover, all parts may be substituted with technically equivalent elements
- Obviously, modifications and/or improvements covered by the claims herein are possible.
Claims (3)
- A device for independently raising machine tool protective devices, characterised in that it comprises a plurality of bodies (1), each rotating about its own axis (5) and a support (2) for said bodies (1), the support rotating about a pin (3) which is integral with the protective device (4), and characterised in that, in the home position, the axis (5a) of the rotary body (la) which makes contact with a workpiece (6) to be machined is at a height lower than that of the pin (3).
- The device according to claim 1, characterised in that the rotary bodies are three wheels (1), their centres being arranged in a circle with the pin (3) at the centre.
- The device according to claim 2, characterised in that the centres of the wheels (1) are separated from one another by an angle of 120°.
