Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a system for either cutting or engraving flat slabs (mainly tiles, but also slabs of glass or other flat surface materials), in particular a manually activated engraving machine for engraving/cutting large slabs.
  • a manually activated engraving machine for engraving/cutting large slabs.
  • the traditional manual tile engravers available on the market consist of a base, including a tile support area, with two end poles supporting a guiding bar for the engraving tool holder.
  • the latter is configured to slide freely along the bar and generally has a handle and an engraving tool below (usually consisting of a wheel made of a very hard material) that makes contact with the tile.
  • the engraving takes place through the operator's action, who applies a downward pressure on the tool, and at the same time pushes the tool to scroll along the slab, from a proximal to a distal position (or vice versa), in order to engrave the tile.
  • the tile remains blocked between the engraving tool and the underlying base: the higher the pressure exercised on the tool, the higher the reaction of the underlying base; therefore, blocking of the tile is very efficient and the tile does not move from the desired position.
  • the machine consists of a rectilinear bar, along which a sliding tool holder with the corresponding engraving tool is mounted, equipped with at least one pair of fixing systems. This way the machine is affixed directly to the slab to be engraved or to the work plane supporting the slab in order to perform the engraving. The splitting of the slab, or separation of the two parts along the engraving line, is then made using other manual tools (such as pressure pliers) .
  • a system of this type is described for example in the utility model IT278539 in the name of the same Applicant, in which the fixing system is in form of multiple suction cup elements attached directly to the slab to be engraved.
  • the guiding bar must always be attached to the slab or to the support table by means of any fixing system, such as suction cups and/or clamps.
  • any fixing system such as suction cups and/or clamps.
  • the engraving tool since the guiding bar rests directly on the flat slab, the engraving tool cannot be placed on the movement axis, but is typically mounted sideways laterally on a carriage sliding along the guiding bar. This inevitably leads to high overturning momentums - because the engraving pressure is exercised by the operator on the bar axis, while the reaction acts on the tool in an offset position - which tend to lift the guiding bar from the slab plane: therefore, the presence of fixing devices prevents undesired relative shifting between the guiding bar and the slab to be engraved.
  • the purpose of this invention is to propose an engraving system for large slabs, constituting a considerable improvement compared to the known technique; in particular, it is intended to provide an apparatus configured in such a way as to eliminate the use of traditional suction cups or clamping fixing systems.
  • an engraving/cutting machine for planar slabs comprising a rectilinear bar and a carriage mounted freely sliding along said guiding bar and carrying an engraving/cutting tool, wherein said rectilinear guiding bar has a lower surface provided with yielding support means made of high-friction material, and said engraving tool is integral with a pressure plate movably mounted relative to a frame of said carriage, having at least a displacement component perpendicular to said lower surface, in opposition to elastic means.
  • said supports are in the shape of inserts or small cylinders made of high-friction material inserted in corresponding seats made in the lower surface of said bar. Said supports project from said lower surface of the bar by at least 1 mm.
  • the pressure plate is mounted pivoting on the carriage frame in opposition to elastic springs, preferably in the shape of torsional springs.
  • the engraving tool is mounted on a support head attached to the lateral side of a pressure plate in the shape of a cover surrounding the carriage frame.
  • the term "large slabs” indicates tiles with dimensions of the order 3000 x 1000 mm, with a thickness of up to 6 mm or more, even though it is not ruled out that the machine described here can also be conveniently used to engrave tiles of traditional sizes, for example of the order of 300x300 mm, but also made of flat materials such as glass, panels of plastic material or rubber, glass panels etc.
  • Fig. 1 shows an overall view of the engraving DEVICE according to the invention.
  • the device consists of a guiding bar 1, supporting a sliding carriage 2 with a tool holder.
  • the guiding bar 1 consists of an essentially flat lower section 11, on which a pair of rails 12a and 12b is provided.
  • bar 1 is obtained integrally from an extruded metal material, such as aluminium alloy.
  • yielding supports made of high-friction material.
  • these supports are made of rubber of a sufficient thickness to be able to be compressed sufficiently using the technique illustrated below, and therefore exercise a high friction resistance against movement of bar 1 on support plane.
  • the supports have the shape of elongated rubber inserts, consisting of rubber strings, partially inserted in recesses or longitudinal grooves of bar 1 and protruding from the lower surface by at least 1 mm, preferably at least 2 mm.
  • there could be three parallel inserts one central and two along the peripheral edges of bar 1), constituted by rubber strings with a diameter of 4-5 mm, protruding from the lower surface by approximately 2 mm.
  • the rubber material is clear in colour so any residue caused by friction does not stain the tile or slab placed underneath.
  • FIG. 1 An alternative support means (not illustrated) can be small cylinders, inserted perpendicularly and distributed uniformly on the lower surface of bar 1, or a anti-skid cover or mesh (made of rubber or polyester/PVC material) of sufficient thickness, for example at least 1 mm, covering a large part of the lower surface of bar 1.
  • a anti-skid cover or mesh made of rubber or polyester/PVC material
  • bar 1 is divided longitudinally in several parts, which can be held together by appropriate joints.
  • the figures show a joining plate 5, attached to the lower section 11 of two continuous parts of the bar.
  • Other joining means considered appropriate may also be used.
  • the tool holder carriage 2 is constituted by a sliding frame 21, on which two sliding axes are mounted, to which two pairs of sliding rotating wheels 22 are attached.
  • the wheels 22 are arranged so as to rest and rotate on the rails 12a and 12b. It is important for the proper functioning of the device that the wheels 22 be distributed at the four corners of the carriage so that the force exercised on the carriage (in the way described further) be applied on the centre line of the guiding bar, which reduces any overturning momentums as much as possible.
  • the wheels 22 have a central groove in order to be suitably guided laterally on the rails 12a and 12b and avoid transversal play in the longitudinal movement axis.
  • a pivoting pressure cover 23 is mounted on the tool holding carriage. It is mounted pivoting on the carriage in opposition to elastic means, as described below in more detail.
  • the cover 23 pivots around an axis mounted at its front on back end. Therefore, the pivoting axis of the cover 23 is parallel to the sliding axes of wheels 22, and transversal to the carriage longitudinal sliding direction.
  • the pressure cover 23 rotates around a pivoting axis 23a coinciding with one of the axes of the wheels 22.
  • a tool holder head T is installed on the pressure cover 23, in proximity of the end opposite to that of the pivoting axis 23a (or in any case far from the pivoting axis).
  • the head T carries on engraving tool U on its lower surface (which is the lower side of bar 1).
  • Tool U is typically a wheel of hard metal, preferably small in diameter, or a diameter below 10 mm, preferably 8 mm.
  • Tool U is installed in a way to engrave the underlying slab while the carriage 2 scrolls over the bar 1.
  • tool U is mounted laterally to the pressure cover 23, at a pre-determined distance - facilitating the calculation of engraving measurements for the user.
  • the engraving tool U is arranged 1 cm from the external longitudinal edge of bar 1.
  • the elastic means are in the shape of a pair of torsion springs 24, mounted on a shaft 24a, transversal and integral with the frame 21.
  • the two torsion springs 24 have a curved distal end, protruding through two slits 24b of the frame 21, which supports the pressure plate 23 from below.
  • an handling knob 25 for example a pull with a diameter of 6 cm.
  • the pull 25 is placed essentially on the longitudinal axis of the carriage, so that the force applied is distributed uniformly on the wheels 22.
  • the user can exercise, in addition to a longitudinal pushing action on the carriage 2, also a pressure perpendicular to the guiding bar 1, which pushes the pressure plate 23 towards the frame 21 of the carriage, overcoming the elastic reaction of the springs 24, until it brings the engraving tool U in contact with the slab to be engraved.
  • the abutment of the tool U on the slab determines the end stop of the rotation of the pressure cover 23 on the frame 21.
  • the rotation angle permitted for the pressure cover 23, is sufficient to cover a certain distance (for example 1 cm) by the tool U, useful to load the torsion spring 24, which applies its elastic reaction on the frame 21, and therefore, through the wheels 22, on the guiding bar 1.
  • this construction permits the elimination of the fixing equipment of the prior art and the certainty of restraint between the device and the slab to be engraved by an efficient friction surface.
  • a rotating square At one end of the bar there could be provided a rotating square.
  • the edge of the square can be placed against the edge of the tile to be engraved to perform precisely a series of cuts with the desired angles.
  • the invention's system can obtain the desired results.
  • the combination of high-friction yielding supports with the possibility of loading the tool holder carriage elastically create a synergy for obtaining a very efficient, but at the same time light and economic, engraver.
  • knob and springs may vary widely depending on the user's preferences.
  • arrangement of the relative displacement between the pressure plate 23 and the carriage frame 21 may be designed differently, as long as it involves the elastic reaction of the elastic means determining the load on the underlying support means.
  • the engraving tool may be adapted based on the requirements of the material to be engraved.
  • the small wheel made of hard material it is possible to use a cutting blade or a mounting system for an electric tool with a rotating cutting blade.
