Description

La présente invention concerne un appareil pour le tranchage de matériaux en plaques, en particulier d'ardoises ou de vitres selon le préambule de la revendication 1.The present invention relates to an apparatus for slicing plate materials, in particular slates or panes according to the preamble of claim 1.

Un tel appareil est bien connu, comme l'illustre le brevet FR-A-2.528.348, qui décrit un appareil comprenant au moins un bâti incorporant une table de coupe délimitant une fente longitudinale parcourue par une lame de coupe, de préférence circulaire, montée libre à rotation sur un chariot guidé au-dessus de la fente, ce chariot étant manoeuvré par une poignée de saisie, au moins une pièce constitutive du bâti présentant une arête de coupe formant enclume.Such an apparatus is well known, as illustrated by patent FR-A-2,528,348, which describes an apparatus comprising at least one frame incorporating a cutting table delimiting a longitudinal slot traversed by a cutting blade, preferably circular, freely mounted to rotate on a carriage guided above the slot, the carriage being operated by a gripping handle, at least one component part of the frame having an anvil cutting edge.

Les appareils connus de l'état de la technique sont généralement lourds et encombrants. Ces appareils sont utilisés au sol. Il en résulte la nécessité pour l'opérateur, qui travaille en élévation, en particulier sur un toit, de procéder régulièrement à des allers et retours entre son point de pose des ardoises et l'emplacement de l'appareil pour procéder au tranchage des ardoises. Cette multiplication des allers et retours et en particulier des étapes d'ascension de la construction pour atteindre le toit augmente les risques d'accidents. On est donc aujourd'hui à la recherche d'appareils pour le tranchage de matériaux en plaques légers et de faible encombrement pour permettre le tranchage des matériaux en plaques, en particulier au niveau de la charpente ou de la toiture de la construction.The known devices of the state of the art are generally heavy and bulky. These devices are used on the ground. This results in the need for the operator, who works in elevation, in particular on a roof, to regularly go back and forth between his slate installation point and the location of the apparatus for slicing the slates. . This multiplication of trips and returns and in particular the steps of climbing the construction to reach the roof increases the risk of accidents. We are therefore looking for devices for slicing lightweight and space-saving sheet material to allow the slicing of plate materials, especially at the level of the frame or the roof of the building.

Un but de la présente invention est donc de proposer un appareil pour le tranchage de matériaux en plaques dont la conception autorise le portage dudit appareil jusqu'à un emplacement correspondant à l'emplacement de pose des ardoises ou des vitres, en particulier au niveau de la toiture ou de la charpente de la construction.An object of the present invention is therefore to provide an apparatus for slicing plate materials whose design allows the carrying of said apparatus to a location corresponding to the location of laying slates or windows, particularly at the level of the roof or frame construction.

A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un appareil pour le tranchage de matériaux en plaques, en particulier d'ardoises ou de vitres, selon la revendication 1.To this end, the invention relates to an apparatus for slicing plate materials, in particular slates or panes, according to claim 1.

En outre, il est prévu au moins un arrêt de fin de course du chariot de manière à pouvoir immobiliser le chariot au voisinage d'une fin de course correspondant à un point haut de l'appareil lorsque l'appareil est incliné et libérer ainsi l'espace entre l'extrémité basse opposée de l'appareil et ledit chariot pour permettre la découpe à mains libres des matériaux en plaques.In addition, at least one end-of-travel stop of the trolley is provided so that the trolley can be immobilized in the vicinity of an end of travel corresponding to a high point of the apparatus when the apparatus is inclined and thus release the trolley. space between the opposite low end of the apparatus and said carriage to allow freehand cutting of the plate materials.

Grâce au fait que le déplacement naturel par gravité du chariot est empêché lorsque l'appareil est en position inclinée, l'opérateur peut librement positionner son matériau en plaques à trancher sur l'arête de coupe formant enclume avant de procéder au tranchage. L'opérateur a ainsi constamment à son voisinage l'appareil pour le tranchage et n'a plus besoin d'effectuer d'incessants va-et-vient entre son poste de travail et le poste de tranchage qui peuvent être ainsi disposés côte à côte. L'appareil est ainsi positionné sur le toit de manière inclinée en suivant la pente naturelle du toit, les moyens de fixation à la charpente ou à la toiture pouvant être quelconques.Due to the fact that the natural gravity displacement of the carriage is prevented when the apparatus is in an inclined position, the operator can freely position his material in slicing plates on the cutting edge forming an anvil before slicing. The operator thus constantly has in his vicinity the apparatus for slicing and no longer needs to perform incessant back and forth between his workstation and the slicing station that can be arranged side by side . The apparatus is thus positioned on the roof in an inclined manner by following the natural slope of the roof, the fixing means to the frame or the roof can be any.

Grâce à la conception de l'appareil, le couvreur peut tour à tour effectuer des opérations de tranchage en série au moyen de la lame de coupe ou des opérations de tranchage plus précises au moyen de l'enclume et d'un marteau.Thanks to the design of the machine, the roofer can perform slicing operations in series using the cutting blade or more precise slicing operations using the anvil and a hammer.

L'invention sera bien comprise à la lecture de la description suivante d'exemples de réalisation, en référence aux dessins annexés dans lesquels :

  • la figure 1 représente une vue d'ensemble en perspective d'un appareil pour le tranchage de matériaux en plaques conforme à l'invention ;
  • la figure 2 représente une vue en perspective de l'appareil de la figure 1, vu suivant un autre angle, le marteau du couvreur ayant été représenté ;

  • la figure 4 représente une vue schématique partielle en perspective du chariot surmonté des poignées de manoeuvre dudit chariot et
  • les figures 5 et 6 représentent des vues schématiques partielles de la table de coupe équipée d'un guide de coupe.
The invention will be better understood on reading the following description of exemplary embodiments, with reference to the appended drawings in which:
  • Figure 1 shows an overall perspective view of an apparatus for slicing plate materials according to the invention;
  • Figure 2 shows a perspective view of the apparatus of Figure 1, seen from another angle, the hammer of the roofer having been shown;

  • FIG. 4 represents a partial diagrammatic perspective view of the trolley topped with operating handles of said trolley and
  • Figures 5 and 6 show partial schematic views of the cutting table equipped with a cutting guide.

Comme mentionné ci-dessus, l'appareil 1, objet de l'invention, destiné au tranchage de matériaux en plaques, en particulier d'ardoises ou de vitres, se caractérise par sa conception qui permet un positionnement d'un tel appareil directement sur le toit d'une construction. Un tel appareil peut ainsi permettre à un opérateur de disposer, en un même emplacement correspondant à l'emplacement de pose des matériaux en plaques, d'un poste de tranchage lui permettant d'effectuer tout type de tranchage que ce soit un tranchage de type série au moyen d'une lame de coupe ou un tranchage particulier au moyen d'un marteau et d'une enclume.As mentioned above, the apparatus 1, object of the invention, for slicing plate materials, in particular slates or panes, is characterized by its design which allows a positioning of such a device directly on the roof of a building. Such an apparatus can thus allow an operator to have, at the same location corresponding to the installation location of the plate materials, a slicing station enabling him to perform any type of slicing whether it be a slicing of the type series by means of a cutting blade or a particular slicing by means of a hammer and an anvil.

De manière en soi connue, cet appareil 1 comprend au moins un bâti 2 incorporant une table 3 de coupe. Cette table 3 de coupe délimite une fente 6 longitudinale parcourue par une lame 4 de coupe montée sur un chariot 5. Ce chariot 5 est guidé au-dessus de la fente 6 et manoeuvré par une poignée 7 de saisie.In a manner known per se, this apparatus 1 comprises at least one frame 2 incorporating a cutting table 3. This cutting table 3 delimits a longitudinal slot 6 traversed by a cutting blade 4 mounted on a carriage 5. This carriage 5 is guided over the slot 6 and operated by a gripping handle 7.

De manière caractéristique à l'invention, au moins une pièce constitutive du bâti 2, ou couplée à ce dernier, présente une arête 9 de coupe formant enclume. La présence de cette arête 9 de coupe permet ainsi au couvreur d'effectuer des opérations de tranchage des matériaux en plaques au moyen d'un marteau 14 en positionnant le matériau en plaque à découper sur l'arête 9 de coupe. Cette arête de coupe formant enclume sera plus particulièrement utilisée pour des tranchages atypiques. Lorsque les tranchages sont des tranchages de type série, la lame 4 de coupe montée sur le chariot 5 sera utilisée. Le couvreur dispose ainsi, au niveau de son poste de travail, de tous les moyens de tranchage généralement mis à sa disposition pour effectuer les opérations de coupe. Auparavant, il disposait d'une enclume constituée d'une arête de coupe formant enclume et montée sur un pied destiné à être figé dans la charpente de la toiture. Pour faciliter cette opération de tranchage et comme l'illustre en particulier la figure 3, l'arête 9 de coupe s'étend à l'extérieur du périmètre délimité par la table 3 de coupe. Ainsi, le marteau 14 du couvreur, représenté aux figures, peut être librement actionné sans venir endommager le reste de l'appareil. Il dispose d'un espace et d'une course suffisants pour réaliser l'opération de coupe.Characteristically to the invention, at least one constituent part of the frame 2, or coupled thereto, has a cutting edge 9 forming an anvil. The presence of this cutting edge 9 thus enables the roofer to perform slicing operations of the plate materials by means of a hammer 14 by positioning the plate material to be cut on the cutting edge 9. This anvil cutting edge will be more particularly used for atypical cutting. When the slices are series type slices, the cutting blade 4 mounted on the carriage 5 will be used. The roofer thus has, at his workstation, all the slicing means generally made available to him to carry out the cutting operations. Previously, it had an anvil consisting of a cutting edge forming anvil and mounted on a foot to be fixed in the roof structure. To facilitate this slicing operation and as illustrated in particular in Figure 3, the cutting edge 9 extends outside the perimeter defined by the cutting table 3. Thus, the hammer 14 of the roofer, shown in the figures, can be freely actuated without coming to damage the rest of the device. It has enough space and travel to perform the cutting operation.

Dans les exemples représentés, le bâti est constitué de longeron(s) 2A reliant entre elles des traverses 2B délimitant la course du chariot 5. L'arête 9 de coupe formant enclume est alors constituée par le sommet d'au moins un longeron 2A. Ce longeron 2A du bâti, dont le sommet constitue une arête 9 de coupe formant enclume, est disposé dans une position dans laquelle il surmonte la table 3 de coupe et est décalé par rapport à cette dernière. A nouveau, ce décalage est plus particulièrement visible à la figure 3 où l'on constate que par rapport à l'encombrement de la table 3, l'arête 9 de coupe s'étend à l'extérieur du périmètre délimité par ladite table 3 de coupe. Ce déport permet au couvreur, agissant au moyen de son marteau 14, de ne pas heurter, au cours de l'opération de coupe, la table 3 de coupe.In the examples shown, the frame consists of spar (s) 2A interconnecting cross members 2B delimiting the stroke of the carriage 5. The cutting edge 9 forming an anvil then consists of the top of at least one spar 2A. This spar 2A of the frame, the top of which constitutes a cutting edge 9 forming an anvil, is disposed in a position in which it overcomes the cutting table 3 and is offset relative thereto. Again, this offset is more particularly visible in FIG. 3, where it can be seen that, with respect to the size of the table 3, the cutting edge 9 extends outside the perimeter delimited by said table 3. cutting. This offset allows the roofer, acting by means of its hammer 14, not to hit, during the cutting operation, the cutting table 3.

Pour autoriser une telle opération de tranchage, il est préférable d'immobiliser le chariot 5 dans une position dans laquelle le couvreur peut librement positionner son ardoise sur l'arête 9 de coupe et actionner, avec son autre main, le marteau 14. A cet effet, le chariot 5 coopère avec au moins un arrêt 8 de fin de course, qui sera décrit plus en détail ci-après, de manière à pouvoir être immobilisé au voisinage d'une fin de course lorsque l'appareil 1 est incliné et empêcher le déplacement naturel du chariot par gravité. Ainsi, l'appareil peut être positionné sur un toit et le chariot 5 immobilisé dans une position de fin de course pour permettre à l'opérateur de venir placer librement son ardoise sur l'arête 9 de coupe ou sur la table 3 de coupe malgré l'inclinaison générale de l'appareil. Le chariot 5 peut ensuite être manoeuvré par l'opérateur pour effectuer l'opération de tranchage. Au cours de cette opération de tranchage, l'opérateur tient d'une main l'ardoise tandis qu'il manoeuvre au moyen de l'autre main le chariot. A cet effet, il se positionne à l'extrémité de la table de coupe et déplace le chariot en le rapprochant de lui. Après chaque opération de tranchage, le chariot 5 est ramené dans une position de fin course pour la préparation d'une nouvelle opération de tranchage. L'immobilisation du chariot 5, au voisinage d'une fin de course, peut s'effectuer suivant un grand nombre de formes de réalisation. Dans les exemples représentés, l'arrêt 8 de fin de course est couplé au bâti 2 de l'appareil 1 et est positionné sur la trajectoire suivie par un organe complémentaire, monté sur le chariot 5. Cet organe 9 complémentaire, tel qu'une butée, et/ou l'arrêt 8 de fin de course sont chargés par ressort de manière à s'escamoter ou à se rétracter lors d'un contact mutuel obtenu par déplacement manuel du chariot 5. Ainsi, dans l'exemple représenté à la figure 1, l'arrêt 8 de fin de course est constitué par un simple pion solidaire d'un longeron 2A du bâti. L'organe complémentaire, positionné sur le chariot 5, est quant à lui constitué d'une bille chargée par ressort et faisant saillie au moins partiellement d'un logement affectant la forme d'un doigt s'étendant perpendiculairement au plan vertical passant par la lame de coupe. Lors du déplacement du chariot au voisinage de l'arrêt 8 de fin de course et d'un contact mutuel entre l'arrêt 8 de fin de course et l'organe, la bille se rétracte à l'intérieur de son logement pour permettre le passage par l'organe de l'arrêt 8 de fin de course. L'arrêt 8 de fin de course passé, la bille fait à nouveau saillie de son logement et constitue une butée empêchant le déplacement du chariot en l'absence de la fourniture d'un effort musculaire correspondant à la manoeuvre du chariot. De ce fait, le chariot qui, sous l'effet de son propre poids, tendrait à se déplacer en suivant l'inclinaison de la pente du toit sur lequel il est positionné, n'arrive pas à vaincre la résistance offerte par la coopération de l'arrêt 8 de fin de course et l'organe. Bien évidemment, à chaque fois, l'arrêt 8 de fin de course est positionné à ou au voisinage de l'extrémité de la table de coupe correspondant au point haut de l'appareil quand il est positionné de manière inclinée sur le toit d'une charpente. De manière analogue, cet arrêt 8 de fin de course pourrait être constitué d'un crochet pivotant dont l'axe de pivotement est chargé par ressort, une butée montée sur le chariot provoquant un escamotage du crochet lors d'un contact mutuel entre lesdits éléments puis un rappel du crochet dans une position correspondant à une position de retenue de la butée et par suite, du chariot dont la butée est solidaire. D'autres modes de réalisation peuvent encore être conçus de manière équivalente. Ainsi, l'arrêt 8 de fin de course pourrait, de manière équivalente, être positionné directement sur le chariot 5.To allow such a slicing operation, it is preferable to immobilize the carriage 5 in a position in which the roofer can freely position his slate on the cutting edge 9 and actuate, with his other hand, the hammer 14. Indeed, the carriage 5 cooperates with at least one limit stop 8, which will be described in more detail below, so that it can be immobilized in the vicinity of an end of travel when the apparatus 1 is inclined and prevent the natural displacement of the truck by gravity. Thus, the device can to be positioned on a roof and the carriage 5 immobilized in a limit position to allow the operator to freely place his slate on the cutting edge 9 or on the cutting table 3 despite the general inclination of the blade. 'apparatus. The carriage 5 can then be maneuvered by the operator to perform the slicing operation. During this slicing operation, the operator holds the slate with one hand while using the other hand with the trolley. For this purpose, it is positioned at the end of the cutting table and moves the carriage closer to him. After each slicing operation, the carriage 5 is returned to a final position for the preparation of a new slicing operation. The immobilization of the carriage 5, in the vicinity of an end of stroke, can be carried out according to a large number of embodiments. In the examples shown, the end-of-travel stop 8 is coupled to the frame 2 of the apparatus 1 and is positioned on the path followed by a complementary member, mounted on the carriage 5. This complementary member 9, such as a stop, and / or the end stop 8 are loaded by spring so as to retract or retract during mutual contact obtained by manual movement of the carriage 5. Thus, in the example shown in FIG. 1, the stop 8 end of the race is constituted by a single pin secured to a spar 2A of the frame. The complementary member, positioned on the carriage 5, is constituted of a ball loaded by spring and projecting at least partially from a housing which affects the shape of a finger extending perpendicularly to the vertical plane passing through the cutting blade. When moving the carriage in the vicinity of the stop 8 end of stroke and a mutual contact between the stop 8 end of stroke and the body, the ball retracts inside its housing to allow the passing through the body of the stop 8 end of the race. The stop 8 past end of the race, the ball is again protruding from its housing and constitutes a stop preventing the movement of the carriage in the absence of the provision of a muscular effort corresponding to the operation of the carriage. As a result, the carriage which, under the effect of its own weight, tends to move along the inclination of the slope of the roof on which it is positioned, does not succeed in overcoming the resistance offered by the cooperation of the stop 8 end of the race and the organ. Of course, each time, the stop 8 end of the race is positioned at or near the end of the table of cut corresponding to the high point of the device when it is positioned inclined on the roof of a frame. Similarly, this end-of-travel stop 8 could consist of a pivoting hook whose pivoting axis is loaded by a spring, an abutment mounted on the carriage causing the hook to retract upon mutual contact between said elements. then a return of the hook in a position corresponding to a retaining position of the stop and therefore the carriage whose stop is secured. Other embodiments can still be designed in an equivalent manner. Thus, the stop 8 end of stroke could, in an equivalent way, be positioned directly on the carriage 5.

Dans les exemples représentés, l'arrêt 8 de fin de course est positionné à l'une ou l'autre des extrémités de la table de coupe en fonction du sens d'utilisation de la table de coupe tel que cela sera décrit ci-après.In the examples shown, the limit stop 8 is positioned at one or other of the ends of the cutting table according to the direction of use of the cutting table as will be described below. .

Pour permettre le positionnement d'un tel appareil 1 sur un toit, il est nécessaire de disposer d'un bâti 2 de faible poids et de faible encombrement. A cet effet, le bâti 2 est constitué de longerons 2A assemblés par des traverses 2B délimitant la course du chariot 5. On note que les traverses 2B comportent, au voisinage de leurs pieds, une pluralité de crans 16 servant à la retenue et à la fixation de l'appareil 1, notamment sur les liteaux d'une charpente. Ces traverses 2B peuvent encore être équipées, au voisinage de leur base, d'une pièce pivotante 15 munie de dents ou de pointes destiné(e)s à venir se ficher dans les voliges d'une charpente dans une position angulaire déterminée de la pièce 15 de manière à obtenir une immobilisation de l'appareil. Le bâti 2 est constitué de deux séries de longerons. Une première série de longerons surmonte la table 3 de coupe. Le sommet d'au moins l'un de ces longerons 2A surmontant la table 3 de coupe constitue une arête 9 de coupe formant enclume comme mentionné ci-dessus. Ainsi, l'opérateur peut utiliser le sommet de ces longerons à la manière d'une enclume. A cet effet, il lui suffit de positionner l'ardoise sur ladite arête puis, au moyen d'un marteau 14, de découper l'ardoise suivant ladite arête. Du fait que la table 3 de coupe ne présente pas d'éléments saillants par rapport à l'arête 9 de coupe, qui est disposée décalée, rien ne nuit à une telle opération de coupe. Cette arête 9 de coupe peut présenter également un profil biseauté. La deuxième série de longerons 2A est destinée à permettre la réalisation de la table de coupe. Il en résulte une fabrication et un assemblage extrêmement aisés de l'appareil constitué simplement par quatre longerons et deux traverses. Les première et deuxième séries de longerons se présentent à chaque fois sous forme de cornière. Dans le cas de la deuxième série de longerons servant à la réalisation de la table 3 de coupe, ces cornières sont assemblées de manière telle que leurs branches horizontales, s'étendant sensiblement perpendiculairement à la lame de coupe, sont écartées l'une de l'autre de manière à former, au moyen de leurs arêtes, la fente 6 longitudinale de la table de coupe parcourue par la lame 4 de coupe. Les longerons 2A surmontant la table 3 de coupe se présentent quant à eux également sous forme de cornières. La branche dite horizontale de la cornière s'étendant sensiblement perpendiculairement au plan de la lame 4 de coupe est enserrée entre des moyens 10A, tels que des galets, de guidage en déplacement du chariot 5. Des moyens 10B supplémentaires de guidage du chariot 5 prennent appui sur la face délimitant l'arête de ladite branche. Ces moyens de guidage, constitués ici sous forme de galets, sont plus particulièrement représentés à la figure 2. Il en résulte un guidage parfait du chariot 5 au cours de son déplacement.To allow the positioning of such a device 1 on a roof, it is necessary to have a frame 2 of low weight and small footprint. For this purpose, the frame 2 consists of longitudinal members 2A assembled by cross members 2B delimiting the stroke of the carriage 5. Note that the sleepers 2B comprise, in the vicinity of their feet, a plurality of notches 16 for holding and fixing the apparatus 1, in particular on the battens of a frame. These sleepers 2B can also be equipped, in the vicinity of their base, a pivoting part 15 provided with teeth or points intended (s) to come in the fences of a frame in a specific angular position of the workpiece 15 so as to immobilize the apparatus. The frame 2 consists of two series of longitudinal members. A first series of spars overcomes the cutting table 3. The top of at least one of these longitudinal members 2A surmounting the cutting table 3 constitutes a cutting edge 9 forming an anvil as mentioned above. Thus, the operator can use the top of these side members in the manner of an anvil. For this purpose, it is sufficient for him to position the slate on said edge then, by means of a hammer 14, to cut the slate along said edge. Because the cutting table 3 has no projecting elements with respect to the cutting edge 9, which is arranged offset, nothing harms such a cutting operation. This cutting edge 9 may also have a bevelled profile. The second series of side members 2A is intended to allow the realization of the cutting table. This results in an extremely easy manufacture and assembly of the apparatus consisting simply of four longitudinal members and two sleepers. The first and second series of longitudinal members are each in the form of an angle. In the case of the second series of longitudinal members used for producing the cutting table 3, these angles are assembled in such a way that their horizontal branches, extending substantially perpendicular to the cutting blade, are spaced apart from one another. other so as to form, by means of their edges, the longitudinal slot 6 of the cutting table traversed by the cutting blade 4. The longitudinal members 2A overlying the cutting table 3 are also in the form of angles. The so-called horizontal branch of the angle extending substantially perpendicular to the plane of the cutting blade 4 is clamped between means 10A, such as rollers, for guiding the carriage 5. Additional means 10B for guiding the carriage 5 take support on the face delimiting the edge of said branch. These guide means, constituted here in the form of rollers, are more particularly shown in Figure 2. This results in perfect guidance of the carriage 5 during its movement.

Pour faciliter la manoeuvre d'un tel chariot 5, ce dernier comporte deux poignées de saisie représentées en 7A et 7B. Ces deux poignées sont utilisables alternativement par un gaucher ou un droitier. Ainsi, la poignée 7A, telle que représentée, est destinée à un droitier et coopère avec l'arrêt 8 positionné en P2 tandis que la poignée 7B est destinée à un gaucher et coopère avec l'arrêt (non représenté) positionné en P1. Le chariot 5 comporte encore deux positions P1, P2 des arrêts 8 de fin de course, chaque position P1, P2 située à ou au voisinage d'une extrémité de la table 3 de coupe correspondant à l'utilisation d'une poignée 7A, 7B. L'opérateur, en fonction de sa latéralité, se positionnera à l'une ou l'autre des extrémités de l'appareil de coupe pour manoeuvrer la lame de coupe.To facilitate the operation of such a carriage 5, the latter comprises two gripping handles shown at 7A and 7B. These two handles can be used alternately by a left-handed or a right-handed person. Thus, the handle 7A, as shown, is intended for a right-handed and cooperates with the stop 8 positioned at P2 while the handle 7B is intended for a left-hander and cooperates with the stop (not shown) positioned at P1. The carriage 5 further comprises two positions P1, P2 of the end-of-travel stops 8, each position P1, P2 located at or near an end of the cutting table 3 corresponding to the use of a handle 7A, 7B . The operator, depending on its laterality, will be positioned at one or both ends of the cutting apparatus to manipulate the cutting blade.

Ces poignées 7A, 7B de manoeuvre présentent des parties 11A, 11B de saisie qui s'inscrivent dans un V et coupent le plan passant par la lame 4 de coupe et la fente 6 de circulation de la lame 4 de coupe. Il en résulte ainsi une moindre fatigue de l'opérateur dont le geste est parfaitement naturel au cours de l'opération de tranchage. Lé centre de gravité de la partie de saisie de chaque poignée 7A, 7B s'étend sensiblement à l'aplomb de la fente 6 longitudinale de circulation de la lame de coupe. Enfin, dans les exemples représentés, les poignées 7A, 7B forment un ensemble monobloc affectant la forme d'un pont à pilier 12 central.These handles 7A, 7B maneuvering have gripping portions 11A, 11B which fit into a V and intersect the plane passing through the cutting blade 4 and the slot 6 for circulation of the cutting blade 4. This results in less fatigue of the operator whose gesture is perfectly natural during the slicing operation. The center of gravity of the gripping portion of each handle 7A, 7B extends substantially in line with the longitudinal slot 6 for circulation of the cutting blade. Finally, in the examples shown, the handles 7A, 7B form a one-piece assembly affecting the shape of a central pillar bridge 12.

Du fait de la possibilité de manoeuvrer un tel chariot depuis l'une ou l'autre des extrémités de la table de coupe, l'arrêt 8 de fin de course du chariot est positionnable à l'une ou l'autre des extrémités du bâti. Il peut également être prévu un appareil comportant deux arrêts 8 de fin de course disposés à ou au voisinage de chacune des extrémités de la table de coupe.Due to the possibility of maneuvering such a carriage from one or the other end of the cutting table, the stop 8 of the end of travel of the carriage is positionable at one or the other end of the frame . It can also be provided an apparatus comprising two end-of-travel stops 8 disposed at or near each of the ends of the cutting table.

Pour augmenter la précision de la coupe, il est prévu, positionnable à l'une des extrémités de la table 3 de coupe, un guide 13 de coupe affectant la forme générale d'un rapporteur. Ce guide 13 de coupe présente une lumière 14 courbe à l'intérieur de laquelle est positionnable un organe 15 d'immobilisation du guide s'insérant dans la fente 6 longitudinale de circulation de la lame 4 de coupe. Dans les exemples représentés, cet organe 15 est constitué par une vis immobilisée au moyen d'un écrou. Le guide 13 de coupe est équipé en outre d'un axe 16 pivot pour choisir l'angle de coupe désiré avant immobilisation du guide. La présence d'un tel axe pivot 16 améliore l'immobilisation du guide 13 de coupe.To increase the precision of the cut, it is provided, positioned at one end of the cutting table 3, a cutting guide 13 affecting the general shape of a protractor. This cutting guide 13 has a curved slot 14 inside which is positioned a member 15 for immobilizing the guide inserted in the longitudinal slot 6 for circulation of the cutting blade 4. In the examples shown, this member 15 is constituted by a screw immobilized by means of a nut. The cutting guide 13 is further equipped with a pivot pin 16 to select the desired cutting angle before immobilization of the guide. The presence of such a pivot pin 16 improves the immobilization of the cutting guide 13.

Enfin, le guide 13 comporte, aux extrémités du rapporteur, des surfaces 17 de référence constituant à chaque fois des appuis pour ie matériau à découper. Ces surfaces 17 de référence s'étendent de part et d'autre d'un passage 18 de la lame 4 de coupe à l'intérieur du rapporteur.Finally, the guide 13 comprises, at the ends of the protractor, reference surfaces 17 constituting each time supports for the material to be cut. These reference surfaces 17 extend on either side of a passage 18 of the cutting blade 4 inside the protractor.

Bien évidemment, un tel guide 13 de coupe est positionnable à l'une ou l'autre des extrémités de la table de coupe en fonction de la poignée de manoeuvre utilisée selon que l'opérateur est droitier ou gaucher. En d'autres termes, lorsque l'arrêt 8 de fin de course sera positionné à une extrémité de la table, le guide 13 de coupe sera généralement positionné à l'extrémité opposée de la table de coupe.Of course, such a cutting guide 13 is positionable to one or the other ends of the cutting table according to the operating handle used according to whether the operator is right-handed or left-handed. In other words, when the end stop 8 will be positioned at one end of the table, the cutting guide 13 will generally be positioned at the opposite end of the cutting table.

Comme mentionné ci-dessus, le fonctionnement d'un tel appareil de coupe est identique en ce qui concerne la lame de coupe à celui d'un appareil de coupe utilisé jusqu'à présent. La différence avec un appareil traditionnel résulte dans l'incorporation de l'enclume à l'appareil, ce qui permet à un couvreur de s'affranchir d'une enclume indépendante. Le couvreur peut ainsi, au moyen d'un même appareil, effectuer tout type d'opération de tranchage. Par ailleurs, il est possible d'immobiliser le chariot en un point haut de l'appareil lorsque ce dernier est en position inclinée. Il en résulte la possibilité pour l'opérateur de positionner librement son ardoise sur la table de coupe ou sur l'arête de coupe formant enclume avant de procéder à la découpe soit par la manoeuvre du chariot entraînant en déplacement la lame de coupe le long de la fente 6 longitudinale de la table de coupe, soit par la manoeuvre d'un marteau 14. L'opérateur tend donc, au cours de cette opération de tranchage, à entraîner en déplacement le chariot vers lui, l'opérateur étant positionné à une extrémité de la table de coupe. Une fois l'opération de tranchage terminée, l'opérateur tend à écarter le chariot de l'extrémité de la table de coupe à laquelle il est positionné pour le ramener en position de fin de course et l'immobiliser au moyen de l'arrêt 8 de fin de course en un point haut de l'appareil. Dans le cas où l'opération de tranchage s'effectue au moyen de l'enclume et du marteau 14, le chariot reste immobilisé en un point haut libérant ainsi suffisamment d'espace pour effectuer l'opération de coupe.As mentioned above, the operation of such a cutting apparatus is identical as regards the cutting blade to that of a cutting apparatus used hitherto. The difference with a traditional device results in the incorporation of the anvil to the device, which allows a roofer to overcome an independent anvil. The roofer can thus, by means of the same apparatus, perform any type of slicing operation. Moreover, it is possible to immobilize the carriage at a high point of the device when the latter is in an inclined position. This results in the possibility for the operator to freely position his slate on the cutting table or on the cutting edge forming an anvil before cutting or by the operation of the carriage driving the cutting blade in displacement along the longitudinal slot 6 of the cutting table, either by the operation of a hammer 14. The operator therefore tends, during this slicing operation, to drive the carriage towards him, the operator being positioned at a end of the cutting table. Once the slicing operation is completed, the operator tends to move the carriage from the end of the cutting table to which it is positioned to bring it back to the end position and immobilize it by means of the stop 8 end of stroke at a high point of the device. In the case where the slicing operation is performed by means of the anvil and the hammer 14, the carriage remains immobilized at a high point thus freeing enough space to perform the cutting operation.
