Description

L'invention se situe dans le domaine technique de l'encadrement et vise à perfectionner une machine à couper en onglet des moulures grâce à un support de feuillure autoréglable.The invention lies in the technical field of coaching and aims to perfect a cutting machine in molding tabs thanks to a rebate support self-adjusting.

Il est bien connu d'équiper de telles machines avec des supports de feuillures montés coulissant sur deux guides orientés à 45° par rapport au plan de la moulure. Ces supports qui se glissent sous la feuillure ont pour fonction de soutenir la moulure lors de l'opération de coupe, afin d'éviter son basculement et une coupe imparfaite. Mais il faut pour cela que le talon horizontal du support de feuillure soit ajusté sous l'angle rentrant de la feuillure et contre celle-ci, aussi parfaitement que possible sans soulever la moulure. Jusqu'à présent des boutons moletés associés au mécanisme mobile que constitue le support de feuillure, permettent de lever ou d'abaisser le talon du support pour le placer à la bonne place contre la moulure. Cette opération n'est pas toujours aisée pour l'utilisateur qui, si la moulure n'est pas correctement maintenue sur une table de travail, se traduira par son soulèvement au-dessus de la table. Ce mécanisme manque donc de sensibilité et impose à l'utilisateur des tâtonnements avant de bloquer le support de feuillure à bonne hauteur.It is well known to equip such machines with rebate supports mounted sliding on two guides oriented at 45 ° to the molding plane. These supports which slide under the rebate have the function to support the molding during the cutting operation, so avoid tipping and imperfect cutting. But he for this, the horizontal heel of the support rebate is adjusted to the re-entrant angle of the rebate and against it, as perfectly as possible without lift the molding. So far knurled buttons associated with the mobile mechanism that constitutes the support of rebate, allow to raise or lower the heel of the support to place it in the right place against the molding. This operation is not always easy for the user which, if the molding is not properly maintained on a work table, will result in its uplift above of the table. This mechanism therefore lacks sensitivity and imposes trial and error on the user before blocking the rebate support at the right height.

La Demanderesse entend remédier à ces inconvénients en proposant un support de feuillure autoréglable, de maniement simple, grâce auquel le support est toujours correctement placé par rapport à la feuillure, sans déplacement de celle-ci.The Applicant intends to remedy these disadvantages of offering rebate support self-adjusting, easy to use, thanks to which the support is always correctly placed in relation to the rebate, without moving it.

L'invention a donc pour objet un support de feuillure pour machine à couper en onglet notamment de moulures d'encadrement, comportant une butée de fond de feuillure en forme d'équerre montée sur une tige déplaçable sur ledit support et comportant des moyens de verrouillage en hauteur de la tige sur le support. The subject of the invention is therefore a support for rabbet for miter cutting machine in particular of frame moldings, comprising a bottom stop of angle-shaped rabbet mounted on a movable rod on said support and comprising locking means in height of the rod on the support.

L'invention se caractérise par le fait que la tige est montée coulissante sur le support de feuillure et associée à un ressort de rappel placé entre son extrémité et la base du support, la tige étant verrouillée en hauteur sur ledit support par un mécanisme de blocage.The invention is characterized in that the rod is slidably mounted on the rebate support and associated with a return spring placed between its end and the base of the support, the rod being locked in height on said support by a locking mechanism.

Plus précisément, le mécanisme de blocage est constitué d'un collier de-serrage coulissant sur la tige dont les deux ailes sont percées d'orifices pour le passage de l'axe d'une manette de blocage.Specifically, the locking mechanism is consisting of a sliding clamp on the rod with two wings pierced with holes for passage the axis of a locking handle.

Le fonctionnement du support de feuillure et les avantages qu'il procure ressortiront de la description qui va suivre d'un mode préférentiel de réalisation dans lequel il est fait référence aux dessins annexés qui représentent :The operation of the rebate support and the advantages it will emerge from the description which will follow from a preferred embodiment in which reference is made to the appended drawings which represent:

Figure 1, une vue en perspective d'une machine à couper en onglet équipée de supports de feuillure selon l'invention.Figure 1, a perspective view of a cut in miter equipped with rebate supports according to the invention.

Figure 2, une vue en coupe à plus grande échelle d'un support de feuillure.Figure 2, a sectional view on a larger scale a rebate support.

Figure 3, une vue en coupe à plus grande échelle selon III-III de la figure 2,Figure 3, a sectional view on a larger scale according to III-III of FIG. 2,

Figures 4 à 6 des vues en élévation de la machine dans des phases successives de fonctionnement.Figures 4 to 6 elevation views of the machine in successive phases of operation.

La figure 1 montre une table de travail 6 connue en soi, portant un jeu de butées pivotantes 2 servant d'appui à la moulure 3 devant être coupée d'onglet. Pour cela des fers de coupe non représentés sont placés le long de deux guides horizontaux 4 orientés à 45° par rapport aux butées 2. Chacun de ces guides 4 est creusé d'une gorge 5 servant au coulissement d'un support de feuillure désigné dans son ensemble par la référence 1 et représenté plus en détail à la figure 2.Figure 1 shows a known work table 6 per se, carrying a set of pivoting stops 2 serving to support the molding 3 to be cut miter. For that not shown cutting irons are placed along two horizontal guides 4 oriented at 45 ° to the stops 2. Each of these guides 4 is hollowed out with a groove 5 for sliding a designated rebate support as a whole by the reference 1 and represented more in detail in figure 2.

le support de feuillure 1 est monté sur un coulisseau 10 qui se place dans la gorge 5, coulisseau auquel il est fixé par une vis 11. Le support 1 se développe verticalement au-dessus au coulisseau et sert de logement à une tige coulissante 12 solidaire d'une butée de fond de feuillure 13 en forme d'équerre. Un ressort de rappel 14 est intercalé entre l'extrémité de la tige 12 et la base du support 1. A la partie supérieure dudit support est monté et fixé par une vis 19 un collier de serrage 15 également visible à la figure 3, collier dont les deux ailes (15a, 15b) sont percées d'orifices 16 pour le passage de l'axe d'une manette de blocage 17 visible à la figure 1. L'extrémité du collier est pourvue d'une ouverture 18 qui est engagée sur la tige 12. Celle-ci se déplace librement dans l'ouverture tant que les deux ailes (15a, 15b) du collier n'ont pas été serrées par la manette.the rebate support 1 is mounted on a slide 10 which is placed in the groove 5, slide to which it is fixed by a screw 11. The support 1 develops vertically above the slide and serves as a housing for a sliding rod 12 secured to a bottom stop of rebate 13 in the form of a square. A return spring 14 is interposed between the end of the rod 12 and the base of the support 1. At the top of said support is mounted and fixed by a screw 19 a clamp 15 also visible in Figure 3, necklace with two wings (15a, 15b) are pierced with holes 16 for the passage of the axis a locking lever 17 visible in FIG. 1. The end of the collar is provided with an opening 18 which is engaged on rod 12. The latter moves freely in the opening as long as the two wings (15a, 15b) of the collar were not tightened by the handle.

Dans la position illustrée aux figures 1 et 4, la moulure 3 est en appui contre les butées 2 et les supports de feuillure 1 en sont écartés.In the position illustrated in Figures 1 and 4, the molding 3 bears against the stops 2 and the supports rebate 1 are removed.

La première opération pour l'utilisateur consiste à desserrer la manette de blocage 17 qui autorise l'écartement des ailes du collier de serrage 15 et libère ainsi la tige coulissante 12.The first operation for the user is loosen the locking lever 17 which authorizes the spacing of the wings of the clamp 15 and frees thus the sliding rod 12.

On peut alors enfoncer cette tige 12 à l'encontre de la force du ressort de rappel 14, comme le montre la figure 5. Ainsi la butée de fond de feuillure 13 vient en position basse, et en agissant horizontalement dans le sens de la flèche, on déplace le support de feuillure 1, pour que la butée 13 se glisse sous la moulure 3. Durant ce mouvement, on maintient manuellement la moulure contre les butées 2. Puis on relâche la pression sur la tige 12, que le ressort 14 repousse vers le haut jusqu'à ce que la butée 13 vienne s'appliquer contre la partie supérieure de la feuillure, la moulure étant toujours maintenue en place manuellement. Il reste alors à l'utilisateur à bloquer la tige 12 dans cette position à l'aide de la manette de blocage 17, comme le représente la figure 6. Bien entendu on manipule les deux supports de feuillure 1 de la même façon.We can then push this rod 12 against of the force of the return spring 14, as shown in the Figure 5. Thus the rebate bottom stop 13 comes in low position, and acting horizontally in the direction of the arrow, we move the rebate support 1, so that the stop 13 slides under the molding 3. During this movement, manually maintain the molding against stops 2. Then the pressure is released on the rod 12, that the spring 14 pushes up until the stop 13 come and apply against the upper part of the rebate, the molding being always held in place manually. It remains for the user to block the rod 12 in this position using the joystick blocking 17, as shown in Figure 6. Of course we handles the two rebate supports 1 in the same way.

On a ainsi un moyen automatique de régler à bonne hauteur un support de feuillure par rapport à une moulure d'encadrement, sans que l'utilisateur soit amené à des ajustements particuliers et fastidieux.We thus have an automatic means of adjusting to good height of a rebate support in relation to a molding without the user being led to particular and tedious adjustments.
