Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is solved by the features of claim 1.

In den Unteransprüchen sind vorteilhafte und zweckmäßige Weiterbildungen der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung angegeben.In the dependent claims advantageous and expedient developments of the device according to the invention are given.

Die Erfindung geht von einer Fliesenschneidvorrichtung mit einem Gestell aus, das eine Auflagefläche für Fliesen besitzt, sowie einem Schneidorgan zum Erzeugen einer Bruchstelle in der Fliesenoberfläche, welches Schneidorgan am Gestell über der Auflagefläche mittels Führungsmitteln verschiebbar gelagert sowie mit einem Hebel versehen ist, mit welchem das Schneidorgan zum Erzeugen des nötigen Anpressdrucks manuell um eine Achse parallel zur Auflagefläche geschwenkt werden kann, wobei die Führungsmittel zum Führen des Schneidorgans während eines Schneidvorgangs entlang einer Kurvenbahn eine in zwei Richtungen linear verschiebbare Lagerung des Schneidorgans zusammen mit dem Hebel aufweisen und
die Lagerung zwei parallele Laufschienen an welchen jeweils ein Laufschlitten angebracht ist, und eine weitere Laufschiene umfasst, die die Laufschlitten der zwei parallelen Laufschienen fest miteinander verbindet und eine Aufnahmeeinheit für das Schneidorgan zusammen mit dem Hebel längs dieser weiteren Laufschiene verschiebbar aufnimmt.
The invention is based on a tile cutting device with a frame which has a bearing surface for tiles, and a cutting member for generating a break in the tile surface, which cutting member on the frame over the support surface slidably mounted by means of guide means and is provided with a lever with which the Cutting member for generating the necessary contact pressure can be manually pivoted about an axis parallel to the support surface, wherein the guide means for guiding the cutting member during a cutting along a curved path in two directions linearly displaceable mounting of the cutting member together with the lever and
the storage two parallel rails on which a respective carriage is mounted, and a further track, which connects the carriages of the two parallel rails firmly together and receiving a receiving unit for the cutting member along with the lever along this further track slidably.

In diesem Zusammenhang ist es im Weiteren vorteilhaft, wenn die Führungsmittel eine Führungsschablone mit einem entsprechend der gewünschten Kurvenbahn verlaufenden Anschlag aufweisen, über welchen das Schneidorgan geführt wird. Beispielsweise kann das Schneidorgan unmittelbar beim Verschieben am Anschlag anliegen.In this context, it is furthermore advantageous if the guide means have a guide template with a corresponding to the desired curved path extending stop, over which the cutting member is guided. For example, the cutting member can rest directly against the stop when moving.

Um eine möglichst einfache aber effektive Führung des Schneidorgans zu erzielen, wird im Weiteren vorgeschlagen, daß die Führungsmittel eine Führungsschablone umfassen, in welcher die gewünschte Kurvenbahn schlitzartig ausgeführt ist.In order to achieve the simplest possible but effective guidance of the cutting member, it is further proposed that the guide means comprise a guide template, in which the desired curved path is designed slit-like.

Im Weiteren ist es bevorzugt, wenn die Führungsschablone über der Auflagefläche anordnenbar ist, so daß in der schlitzartig ausgeführten Kurvenbahn das Schneidorgan wie ein Kulissenstift geführt werden kann.Furthermore, it is preferred if the guide template can be arranged above the support surface, so that the cutting member can be guided like a guide pin in the slot-like curved track.

Besonders vorteilhaft ist die Weiterbildung der Erfindung dahingehend, daß eine Aufnahmeeinheit für das Schneidorgan unmittelbar an einer Führungsschablone geführt wird, die wenigstens eine in der gewünschten Kurvenbahn geformte Führungseinheit, vorzugsweise Führungs- bzw. Laufschiene, umfaßt.Particularly advantageous is the development of the invention to the effect that a receiving unit for the cutting member is guided directly on a guide template which comprises at least one formed in the desired curved track guide unit, preferably guide or running rail.

In einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform ist es im Weiteren bevorzugt, wenn das Schneidorgan um seine Längsachse drehbar gelagert ist, d. h. bei auf einer Fliese oder Platte aufgesetztem Schneidorgan um eine Achse, die in Bezug auf die zu schneidende Platten- oder Fliesenoberfläche im Wesentlichen senkrecht verläuft. Auf diese Weise wird die Möglichkeit geschaffen, das Schneidorgan immer in Bahnrichtung auszurichten. Dies ist insbesondere dann vorteilhaft, wenn zur Erzeugung einer Bruchstelle in der Platten- oder Fliesenoberfläche ein Hartmetallrad eingesetzt wird, das somit immer entlang der Kurvenbahn abrollen kann.In an advantageous embodiment, it is hereinafter Preferably, when the cutting member is rotatably mounted about its longitudinal axis, ie when mounted on a tile or plate cutting member about an axis which is substantially perpendicular with respect to the plate or tile surface to be cut. In this way, the possibility is created to always align the cutting member in the web direction. This is particularly advantageous when a hard metal wheel is used to generate a break in the plate or tile surface, which thus can always roll along the curved path.

Bei einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung weist das Schneidorgan im Führungsbereich der Führungsschablone eine flächige Anlagestelle, z. B. einen quadratischen oder rechteckigen Querschnitt, auf. Insbesondere bei einem schlitzartigen Führungsschlitz wird auf diese Weise das Schneidorgan, das zumindest auf einer Seite flächig am Führungsschlitz anliegt, in einer Art zwangsführung automatisch in die jeweilige Bahnrichtung ausgerichtet. Damit läßt sich sicherstellen, daß z. B. ein zum Schneiden eingesetztes Hartmetallrad am Schneidorgan ohne eine seitliche Gleitbewegung in Bahnrichtung abrollt.In a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the cutting member in the guide region of the guide template a flat contact point, z. As a square or rectangular cross-section on. In particular, in a slot-like guide slot is in this way the cutting member, which rests flat on at least one side of the guide slot, automatically aligned in a kind of positive guidance in the respective web direction. This can ensure that z. B. a carbide wheel used for cutting rolls on the cutting member without a lateral sliding movement in the web direction.

Für eine einfache Handhabbarkeit der Schneidvorrichtung ist es außerdem vorteilhaft, wenn die Führungsschablone aufklappbar über der Auflagefläche am Gestell angebracht ist. Dadurch kann eine Fliese leicht eingelegt und ausgerichtet werden.For easy handling of the cutting device, it is also advantageous if the guide template is mounted hinged on the support surface on the frame. This allows a tile to be easily inserted and aligned.

Schließlich ist es bevorzugt, wenn die Führungsschablone austauschbar ist. Denn für einen rationellen Arbeitsablauf wird es vorteilhaft sein, mit der Schneidvorrichtung eine Vielzahl von gängigen Führungsschablonen mitzuliefern, die bei Bedarf in die Vorrichtung eingesetzt werden.Finally, it is preferable if the guide template is interchangeable. Because for a rational workflow, it will be advantageous to mitzuliefern a variety of common guide templates with the cutting device, which are used when needed in the device.

Am Gestell 2 sind zwei vertikal ausgerichtete Lagerblöcke 4, 5 für die Halterung von zwei parallel ausgerichteten Laufschienen 6, 7 angeordnet. An den parallelen Laufschienen 6, 7 sind verschiebbar zwei Laufschlitten 8, 9 angebracht, welche durch eine weitere Laufschiene 10 miteinander fest verbunden sind. An der Laufschiene 10 ist eine Aufnahmeeinheit 11 für ein Schneidorgan 12 (s. auch Fig. 2) ebenfalls verschiebbar angebracht. Ein Abschnitt des Schneidorgans 12 befindet sich in einem Führungsschlitz 13 einer Führungsschablone 14. Der Führungsschlitz weist eine Kurvenform auf, die einem gewünschten Fliesenrand entspricht.The cutting device 1 shown in Fig. 1 and 2 comprises a frame 2 with a support surface 3 for plates or tiles. On the frame 2 are two vertically aligned bearing blocks 4, 5 for the holder of two parallel aligned rails 6, 7 arranged. On the parallel rails 6, 7, two guide slides 8, 9 are slidably mounted, which are fixedly connected to each other by a further running rail 10. On the running rail 10, a receiving unit 11 for a cutting member 12 (see also Fig. 2) is also slidably mounted. A portion of the cutting member 12 is located in a guide slot 13 of a guide template 14. The guide slot has a curve shape corresponding to a desired tile edge.

Bei einer Bewegung der Laufschlitten 8, 9 entlang der parallelen Laufschienen 6, 7 wird die Aufnahmeeinheit 11 mit dem daran angeordneten Schneidorgan 12 entsprechend des Verlaufs des Führungsschlitzes eine Bewegung auf der Laufschiene 10 ausführen.In a movement of the carriages 8, 9 along the parallel rails 6, 7, the receiving unit 11 with the cutting member 12 disposed thereon according to the course of the guide slot to perform a movement on the running rail 10.

In this way it is particularly easy to insert plates or tiles in the cutting device 1.

Des Weiteren ist es von Vorteil, wenn am Gestell 2 ein Anschlag bzw. ein Winkelelement 17 zur einfachen Positionierung einer zu schneidenden Platte oder Fliese angebracht ist.Furthermore, it is advantageous if a stop or an angle element 17 is mounted on the frame 2 for easy positioning of a plate or tile to be cut.

In Fig. 2 ist ein Schneidorgan schematisch dargestellt, welches an seinem vorderen Ende mit einem Hartmetallrädchen (nicht dargestellt) ausgestattet wird. Es ist jedoch auch denkbar, an Stelle eines solchen Schneidorgans einen Reisdorn mit z. B. Hartmetall- oder Diamantspitze zu verwenden.In Fig. 2, a cutting member is shown schematically, which is equipped at its front end with a carbide wheel (not shown). However, it is also conceivable, instead of such a cutting member a Reisdorn with z. B. carbide or diamond tip to use.

In Fig. 3 ist eine Schneidvorrichtung 20 dargestellt, die in ähnlicher Weise wie die Schneidvorrichtung 1 gemäß Fig. 1 aufgebaut ist. Daher sind ähnliche Bauteile mit gleichen Bezugszeichen versehen. Ein Unterschied zur Schneidvorrichtung gemäß Fig. 1 besteht darin, daß die Führungsschablone 14 aus zwei parallel im Abstand zueinander angeordneten Laufschienen 21, 22 besteht, zwischen welchen im Führungsschlitz 13 das Schneidorgan 12 geführt bewegt werden kann.In Fig. 3, a cutting device 20 is shown, which is constructed in a similar manner as the cutting device 1 according to FIG. Therefore, similar components are provided with the same reference numerals. A difference from the cutting device of FIG. 1 is that the Guide template 14 consists of two parallel spaced-apart rails 21, 22, between which in the guide slot 13, the cutting member 12 can be moved out.

Die Führungsschienen 21, 22 sind an Halteplatten 23, 24 befestigt, z. B. angeschweißt. Die so gebildete Einheit kann an der Vorrichtung 20 über ein Scharnier 25 mit einer Schwenkachse 26 zum freien Zugang zur Auflagefläche 3 aufgeklappt werden. An der dem Scharnier 25 gegenüberliegenden Seite der Laufschienen 21, 22 ist ein Betätigungshebel 27 mit vorzugsweise einer Arretiermöglichkeit vorgesehen.The guide rails 21, 22 are fixed to holding plates 23, 24, for. B. welded. The unit formed in this way can be unfolded on the device 20 via a hinge 25 with a pivot axis 26 for free access to the support surface 3. On the side opposite the hinge 25 of the rails 21, 22, an actuating lever 27 is preferably provided with a locking possibility.

Im Weiteren ist die Lagerung des Schneidorgans 12 in der Aufnahmeeinheit 11 dergestalt, daß der Hebel 15 nicht wie in Fig. 1 innerhalb der Aufnahmeeinheit 11, sondern darüber angeordnet ist. Diese Art der Anordnung des Hebels 15 läßt sich vergleichsweise einfacher und damit kostengünstiger realisieren.Furthermore, the storage of the cutting member 12 in the receiving unit 11 is such that the lever 15 is not arranged as in Fig. 1 within the receiving unit 11, but above it. This type of arrangement of the lever 15 can be relatively simpler and thus realize cheaper.

Fig. 4 zeigt eine Variante zur Führung des Schneidorgans 12. In diesem Fall kann auf Laufschienen 6, 7, 10 bzw. Laufschlitten 8, 9 verzichtet werden, da eine Aufnahmeeinheit 30 für das Schneidorgan 12 unmittelbar an parallel laufenden, in der gewünschten Kurvenform gebogenen Laufschienen 31, 32, die den Laufschienen 21, 22 entsprechen, geführt wird. Zur Gewährleistung einer leichten Bewegbarkeit an den Laufschienen 31, 32 bzw. 21, 22 sind in der Aufnahmeeinheit 30 Laufrollen 33, vorzugsweise seitlich und im Bereich der Oberseite der Laufschienen, angeordnet.4 shows a variant for guiding the cutting member 12. In this case, rails 6, 7, 10 or carriages 8, 9 can be dispensed with, since a receiving unit 30 for the cutting member 12 directly on parallel, curved in the desired curve shape Running rails 31, 32 which correspond to the rails 21, 22, is guided. To ensure easy mobility on the rails 31, 32 and 21, 22 30 rollers 33, preferably laterally and in the upper side of the rails, arranged in the receiving unit.

Eine Führung des Schneidorgans 12 alleim mit der Aufnahmeeinheit 30 also ohne Laufschienen 6, 7, 10 bzw. haufschlitten 8, 9, stellt keine Ausführungsform der Erfindung das.A guide of the cutting member 12 alleim with the receiving unit 30 so without rails 6, 7, 10 or haufschlitten 8, 9, does not constitute an embodiment of the invention.

Das Schneidorgan 12 kann in der blockartigen Aufnahmeeinheit 30 in seiner Längsachse drehbar gelagert werden oder über ein Halteelement 34 fest positioniert sein. Die feste Anordnung kann insbesonders dann vorteilhaft sein, wenn das Schneidorgan an seinem vorderen Ende 35 mit einem Hartmetallrad ausgestattet ist und somit entlang der Führungsschienen eine exakte Führung gewährleistet werden kann.The cutting member 12 may be rotatably supported in the block-like receiving unit 30 in its longitudinal axis or be firmly positioned via a holding element 34. The fixed arrangement may be particularly advantageous when the Cutting member is equipped at its front end 35 with a carbide wheel and thus along the guide rails exact guidance can be ensured.

In Fig. 5 ist eine Variante der Schablonenführung gemäß Fig. 4 dargestellt. Bei dieser Ausgestaltung findet die Führung einer Aufnahmeeinheit 40 nicht an zwei parallel laufenden Laufschienen 31, 32 wie in Fig. 4 statt, sondern an nur einer Führungsschiene 41, die eine gewünschte Kurvenbahn aufweist. Das Schneidorgan 12 ist vorzugsweise fest in der Aufnahmeeinheit 40 angeordnet. Zur leichten Verschiebbarkeit der Aufnahmeeinheit 40 an der Führungsschiene 41 sind ebenfalls Laufrollen 33 in der Aufnahmeeinheit 40 vorgesehen. Wie in den übrigen Ausführungsbeispielen kann das Schneidorgan 12 an der Aufnahmeeinheit 40 über einen Hebel 15 (in Fig. 4 nicht dargestellt) bewegt werden.FIG. 5 shows a variant of the template guide according to FIG. 4. In this embodiment, the guidance of a receiving unit 40 does not take place on two parallel running rails 31, 32 as in Fig. 4, but on only one guide rail 41, which has a desired curved path. The cutting member 12 is preferably fixedly arranged in the receiving unit 40. For easy displacement of the receiving unit 40 on the guide rail 41 rollers 33 are also provided in the receiving unit 40. As in the other embodiments, the cutting member 12 on the receiving unit 40 via a lever 15 (not shown in Fig. 4) are moved.
