Abstract
The invention consists in providing two separate blades (10a, 10b) for manufacturing a V-shaped splitcut knife (10).
Description
- This invention concerns the V-shaped knife which is one of the cutting elements located in a trimmer. For example, it is located in the three-knife trimmer of a saddle stitcher line. It is for destination of all print finishing workshops and book binderies.
- Under the current state of the art, when a splitcut thickness of 12, 10, 8 or 6 mm is required, it becomes necessary to mount in the three-knife trimmer a V-shaped knife (see
FIG. 1 which shows a prior art V-shaped knife principle). This V-shaped knife 1 is made out from basic 12% Chrome steel material. Such aknife 1, at manufacturer level, is quite simple to produce. It comprises at least two longitudinal and substantiallyparallel cutting bevels 2. Eachcutting bevel 2 has anexternal side face 3, aninternal side face 4 and acutting edge 5. The internal side faces 4 of the twocutting bevels 2 face each other with an acute angle α, so as to form a V-shape cross-section. Theknife 1 is mounted in three-knife trimmer saddle stitcher lines thanks to screws through mounting holes 6, which are displayed along the knife according to the machine type - But such a knife, as it exists in the moment, shows three main drawbacks for end-users and the regrinding shops:
- it wears out very quickly compared to the other knives which take part in the trimming operation : the side knives and the front knife are usually of better steel quality than the V-
shaped splitcut knife 1 and therefore show longer cutting lifetime before they become dull; because of the premature wear of the V-shaped knife 1, the machine has to be stopped in order to proceed for a change of thissplitcut knife 1; - the regrinding operation of a V-
shaped knife 1 is more complicated than a usual knife; indeed, the thickness of the knife cannot be modified, therefore the regrinding of theknife 1 needs to be done from the inner part (see arrows A onFIG. 2 ) and essentially on the upper portion of the V-shape groove (above line L); the current regrinding technology does not allow a proper regrinding achievement from the inner part of the V-shape groove; - because the regrinding operation of the V-
shape knife 1 cannot be achieved in a proper way, the result of it is a poor cutting quality that generates potential problems at end-users level: discrepancies in the height of the right/left lips, poor sharpening, difficulties to eject the strip of paper to be discarded post cut because the inner grounded surface of the V-shape knife 1 is not polished enough and/or has not the correct angle. - An aim of the invention is to mitigate, at least one of the above-mentioned drawbacks.
- This aim is at least partially achieved with a V-shape knife made of two 10assembled distinct blades, each one of these blades comprising respectively a cutting bevel.
- Indeed, such a two-parts V-shaped knife ensures the end-user that he gets a finished knife in the identical steel quality as the other knives located in the three-knife trimmer. Furthermore, the two-parts V-shaped technology allows a clean regrinding operation each time. Therefore it enables to space the machine stops and insures a good quality of the cut.
- The invention relates to knives comprising at least two blades assembled together. Once the blades assembled, with means which allows them to be disassembled, this assembly can be specifically machined (cut, bored, etc.) for providing a knife prepared to be mounted on a particular machine or tool. Consequently, the word "knife" in this document relates to a cutting tool at any stage of its manufacturing process (i.e. from the assembly of the blades to the finished tool ready to be used).
- The invention contemplates the provision of complementary features set forth with particularity in the appended claims.
- The invention, together with its objects and the advantages thereof, may be best understood by reference to the following description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which like reference numerals identify like elements in the figures and in which:
-
FIGURE 1 is a schematic perspective view of a V-shape splitcut knife of the prior art of the type used for example in three-knife trimmer of a saddle stitcher line; -
FIGURE 2 is a schematic perspective view similar to that ofFigure 1 , showing the regrinding boundaries for this kind of prior art knife; -
FIGURE 3 is a schematic perspective view of two taken apart blades of an exemplary embodiment of a knife according to the invention; -
FIGURE 4 is a schematic perspective view similar to that ofFigure 3 , the blades being assembled; and -
FIGURE 5 schematically shows a cross section of the blades ofFIGURES 3 and 4 . - Referring to the drawings in greater detail, and first to
Figure 3 , the V-shaped knife 10 is made of two distinct blades orparts left side part 10b and aright side part 10a, which, when tighten together, create asingle knife 10 that has the particularity to form a V shape profile in its longitude and two sharp bevels 20 (FIG. 4 ). - Each one of the
blades cutting bevel 20. Each eachcutting bevel 20 has anexternal side face 30, aninternal side face 40 and acutting edge 50 in-between. The internal side faces 30, 40 of the twocutting bevels 20 face each other with an acute angle α, so as to form a V-shape cross-section. The angle α is preferentially comprised between 20 and 40° preferentially comprised between 25 and 30°. and most preferentially equal to 26° (the angle between the two internal side faces 30, 40 being then 52°). - The
left side 10b and theright side 10a are hold together by means ofscrews 70 which are evenly displayed along the knife length. - Because the two parts (left 10b + right 10a) of the so formed V-
shaped knife 10 can be treated independently when dissociated from one another, it has the following advantages. - Steel quality: part left 10b and part right 10a can be manufactured in the same manner as any other standard knife; i.e. using
cutting tips 10c made of a material harder than the material of themounting part 10d. For example, HSS or TungstenCarbide tips 10c are brazed on steel bodies or mountingparts 10d; and therefore reaching higher cutting performances than simple 12% Chrome steel (seeFIG.5 ). - The regrinding operation becomes a standard grinding operation once the regrinder has unscrewed and dissociated the two
parts - Because the regrinding operation has been achieved according to recommended standards, i.e. with respect of recommended bevel angle and the perpendicularity of the grinding wheel with
cutting bevel 20, then the longevity of the cut and the cutting performance become identical to the other knives standing in the three-knife trimmer. - Two semi-fmished blanks, one for the
right part 10a and one for theleft part 10b, are produced to make asingle knife 10. The blanks are produced in the same way it would be done for any other knives. Prior any machining / finishing operation is undertaken it is necessary to link the twoparts FIG. 5 ). Theright part 10a is drilled with bore holes 60 of sufficient diameter to allow thescrews 70 through. Theleft part 10b has threadedholes 80 the same dimension of the screw thread ofscrew 70. It is recommended to usechrome steel screws 70 with a minimum size M5. Once the twoparts shaped knife 1. The V-shape knife 1, can then be machined (cut, bored, etc.), as a prior art knife made of a single blank for providing a knife adapted to be mounted on a particular machine (for a prior knife, of course, a step of machining the V-shape groove in the single blank is previously performed). - The invention also relates to the process of regrinding a V-
shaped knife 10 comprising two blades orparts - unscrewing the
screws 70 for dismantling theparts - grinding each one of the
tips 10c with a grinding wheel having a disk-shaped grinding surface perpendicular to a rotational axis which is substantially perpendicular to thecutting edge 50 of the at least one of thecutting bevels 20; (grinding traces perpendicular to theedge 50 remain visible on thetips 10c after grinding), - assembling
parts screws 70.
