Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a manual device for cutting tiles. especially ceramic.
  • Such devices generally have a fixed part, or base, which allows to position the tile to be cut, a mobile part or carriage, sliding between two extreme positions, on at least one rail connected to the base.
  • This cart travels over of the tile support, and comprises an articulated operating rod, a notch to first mark the tile, a head and its operating mechanism, to break the tile in a second step by means lateral supports placed on either side of a longitudinal edge, located under the wheel trajectory.
  • An object of the invention is therefore to propose an apparatus for cutting tiles which allows a quick and precise cutting of the tile, by performing the notching and breaking with one hand, the other hand being used to effectively maintain the tile on its support.
  • a manual device for cutting the tiles according to the invention is characterized in that the control means of the breaking head are placed at near the free end of the handle.
  • said breaking head is provided for being able to pivot between its rest position and its working position, said device comprising a member for connecting control means to said head to be broken for controlling the pivoting of said head to be broken.
  • Said liaison body is by example a link.
  • control means are consisting of a sleeve slidably mounted on the operating lever to which it is connected said connecting member, said sleeve being provided for its operation with a flange.
  • said collar extends said sleeve in the direction of a handle. at the free end of the operating lever.
  • the invention comprises a return means which tends to keep the head from breaking in its resting position.
  • the reminder is for example a spring intended to act on the sleeve.
  • said control means consist of a lever which is pivotally mounted on the operating lever and to which is connected said connecting member.
  • the head to be broken comprises a stop angular in contact, in the working position of the head to be broken, with a protrusion of the bearing.
  • the manual tile cutter shown in Fig. 1 is essentially consisting of a base 1 and a carriage 4.
  • the base 1 On the base 1 of rectangular appearance are reported two supports 8 and 9, by example in flexible material, intended to receive the tile to be cut 22.
  • the base 1 comprises fixed bearings 2a and 2b respectively placed at the ends of said base 1 and which are provided to maintain, by their respective ends, slides 3a and 3b parallel to each other and to the base 1 in the direction of its length.
  • the two slides 3a and 3b are of circular section, but will understand that their number and the shape of their section can be different without modify the scope of the present invention. The same applies to the number of fixed bearings 2a and 2b.
  • the base 1 also includes an edge 15 for supporting the tile, placed in a median longitudinal plane on the base 1, and projecting between and above the surface consisting of supports 8 and 9.
  • the base 1 also includes a stop axial 10 of semi-cylindrical shape, which can be adjusted around the axis 11 in order to allow, in cooperation with a movable rule 13, the cutting of tiles according to a particular angle.
  • Clamping nuts 12 and 14 allow the settings to be frozen initials of this axial stop 10 and of rule 13 in order to ensure repetitive cuts identical.
  • the carriage 4 it is provided with movable bearings 5 and 6 respectively mounted sliding on the slides 3a and 3b of the base 1 so as to make it mobile in translation on said slides 3a and 3b between the two bearings 2a and 2b.
  • Fig. 2 shows in detail the construction of the mobile carriage 4.
  • the movable bearings 5 and 6 (only the bearing 5 is displayed) are connected between them by a transverse axis 17 on which is mounted a hinge 7 so to be able to pivot around this axis 17.
  • An operating lever 20 comprising at one of its free ends a operating handle 21 is fixed on said articulation 7 so that one can control the pivoting of the articulation 7 around the axis 17.
  • the lever maneuver 20 is perpendicular to axis 17, but may not be mounted concurrent.
  • a thumbwheel 19 is mounted, via a support 18, on said articulation 7 opposite the bearing faces 8 and 9 of the base 1 and so as to be able come into contact with the upper face 22a of the tile to be cut 22, placed on said support faces 8 and 9 of the base 1.
  • the wheel support 40 is constituted a rod 18 comprising at one of its ends, said wheel 19 free to rotate around a transverse axis 19a.
  • Said rod 18 is housed and blocked, by any suitable means.
  • the other free threaded end 20c of the operating lever 20 screwed into a thread the articulation 7, is supported on a flat surface 18a of the rod 18 and blocks it.
  • the wheel 19 can take either a high position where it is retracted from the tile to be cut 22, or a position bottom where it is in contact with the upper face 22a of the pane 22.
  • a breaking head 23 is attached to the joint 7.
  • This head consists of two C-shaped side cheeks 31, joined at their lower parts by a base widened at its base forming lateral supports 28 and 29.
  • each cheek 31 is crossed by a transverse axis 24 which is mounted on the joint 7, so that the breaking head 23 can pivot around this axis 24.
  • the transverse axis 24 is offset from the transverse axis 17.
  • the internal part of the C of each cheek 31 has an approximately circular shape 23a intended to come into contact with a bearing also of circular shape 7b of the articulation 7, in a position R said of rest in dashed line at the end in FIG. 2.
  • an angular stop 32 is provided, designed to come into contact with a protrusion 33 substantially vertical of the movable bearing 5, and in a position T, so-called strong line work in Fig 2.
  • This breaking head 23 can thus take all the positions between the two remarkable positions mentioned above, namely the rest position R, where it is retracted, ie the working position T, where it can come into contact with the tile 22.
  • the breaking head 23 also has a fixing 23c on one of its cheeks 31 and offset downwards with respect to the axis 24. This attachment 23c is connected to a link 25 described below.
  • Control means 34 are slidably mounted on the operating lever 20 between the handle 21 and the articulation 7. They consist of a sleeve 26 cylindrical and hollow, which has near its lower end a fixing 26b, and a hollow control member 30 extending the sleeve 26, and of which the free end disposed near the handle 21 is in the form of a collar 30b.
  • a return means 27, in this case a spring in FIG. 2, is supported by a part on a shoulder 21a of the handle 21, and on the other hand on the internal wall 30a of the control member 30.
  • the connecting rod 25 has a hook 25a at each of its ends. This connecting rod 25 connects the sliding sleeve 26 by a fixing 26b, and the breaking head 23 by fixing 23c.
  • the manual tile cutter operates in two phases: first allows to mark by a notch by means of the wheel 19, the face upper 22a of the tile 22 placed on the flexible supports 8 and 9 and positioned suitably for example on the axial stop 10 and the rule 13.
  • the second phase makes it possible to break the tile 22 into two parts, by means of the breaking head 23.
  • Fig. 3 shows the device used during the notch phase of the tile to be cut 22. During this phase, the operator presses radially on the handle 21 (arrow A), so that the wheel 19 comes into contact with the upper face 22a of the tile to cut 22.
  • the operator sets up in position working the breaking head 23, responsible for precisely breaking the tile 22 around the axis constituted by the longitudinal edge 15. To do this, the operator reports from a few degrees the operating handle 21 around the axis 17, so as to separate the wheel 19 of the tile 22. It operates the control member 30 by the flange 30b located near the operating handle 21, by counteracting the action of the return means 27 (see arrow C). It thus forces the head to break 23 to pass from its rest position R to its working position T, for the duration of the action on the control member 30 of the control means 34.
  • the angular stop 32 of the breaking head 23 comes into contact with the protrusion 33 of the bearing 5 and limits the angular movement of the head to break 23 in a position where the lower faces 28a and 29a are substantially parallel to the upper part 22a of the tile 22.
  • the operator presses vertically on the handle 21 (arrow D), it transmits this force through the head to break 23 on the lateral sides of the upper face 22a of the tile 22, thanks to the supports side 28 and 29 until the pane 22 breaks around the edge 15.
  • the spring 27 allows the breaking head 23 to be raised to its rest position R, after the operation of breaking the pane, by a kinematics opposite to that of its arming
  • the spring 27 drives in translation in the direction of the articulation 7, the control means 34 which move the link 25.
  • This link 25 rotates the head to break 23 around the axis 17, until the angular displacement of said head to be broken 23 either limited by the contact of the interior wall 23a with the bearing surface 7b of the articulation 7, the breaking head 23 is then in its rest position R.
  • control means 34 of the invention is shown schematically in FIG. 5, where the breaking head 23 appears in its working position T, and the control means 34 placed near the handle 21.
  • Said control means 34 consist of a lever 36 terminated at a free end by a trigger member 30.
  • the control means 34 are pivotally mounted around the articulation 20a positioned on the other end of the lever 36, and mounted transversely on the axis of the operating lever 20.
  • a link 25 connects the breaking head 23 by its fixing 23c, with the means of control 34 by a fixing 30d, placed between the control member 30 and the articulation 20a of the control means 34.
  • a return means 27 in this case a spring 27 in FIG. 5 is hung on the one hand, on a fixing 20b located on the axis of the operating lever 20, and on the other leaves with a final attachment 30c also placed between the control member 30b and the articulation 20a of the control means 34.
  • control member 30b of the control means 34 transmits a movement to the link 25.
  • the latter rotates about the axis 24 the head to be broken 23 from a rest position R to a working position T.
  • the spring 27 recalls the means of control 34, which pivot around its axis 20a, and push on the link 25 and bring the head to break in the rest position R.
  • the double maneuver to arm the breaking head 23 and to make it descend, is carried out by one hand of the operator, who can hold the other hand tile in place on supports 8 and 9.
