Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a motorised device for bevelling of the edges of coating tiles, in particular ceramic tiles.
  • this bevelling operation allows to create an inclined bevel, typically at 45°, along the two opposite edges of two adjoining tiles.
  • This bevel is also called “jolly” cut in the jargon.
  • the bevel is realised on the lower side of the tile, i.e. reducing the thickness of the base (typically made of ceramic or stoneware) and leaving the surface finishing layer unaltered, defining the typical wedge-shaped section along the edge of the tile.
  • the bevelling operation is carried out not only with an inclined flat surface, such as the classic "jolly” cut to make two tiles abut on a 90° corner, but can also be employed to confer to said edge a half-circle or a quarter-circle section profile or other desirable profile.
  • an inclined flat surface such as the classic "jolly” cut to make two tiles abut on a 90° corner
  • there are specific issues concerning coating tiles in which there is a noble side (i.e. the one that is exposed to view) whose integrity should be maintained and a bonding side (i.e. the one that is made to adhere to the slab, or to the wall), expendable during machining.
  • Devices allowing to obtain this trimming operation are known. They include, in general, a small hand-held frame, on which a drive motor of a spindle is mounted, a disc for cutting and properly shaping materials being fixed on the latter. Normally, the small frame is designed to mount directly a typically commercially available angle grinder, which represents the universal tool for operators in this sector.
  • the small frame is configured in such a way that the disc will be placed obliquely with respect to the plane of the tile, according to a desired inclination, which can be precisely 45° in the case of the above mentioned "jolly" cutting.
  • Such a system is arranged to be put on the tile surface and then guided by hand to move along the edge of the tile, while the abrasive disc - which is located between the small frame and the tile - rotates in speed against the edge of the tiles, removing the desired part of this edge.
  • the problem underlying the invention is therefore to supply a motorised device for trimming tiles that overcomes the drawbacks mentioned above, by a simpler and lighter, as well as more cost-effective, structure, and which allows to obtain an improved machining in terms of aesthetic effect and precision.
  • the device for trimming tiles according to the invention is constituted by a structure comprising a support and guiding plate 1 and a control group of an abrasive disc.
  • the latter comprises a drive shaft 2a which is mounted on the plate 1 by means of a bearing (not shown) and protrudes with an upper end, to which an actual motor 2 can be engaged, and a lower end, to which an abrasive disc 3 is rotationally fixed.
  • the motor 2 is preferably a standard commercial apparatus, such as an angle grinder (as clearly shown in Fig. 3 ), which is engaged on the drive shaft 2a and held in position by a suitably shaped support or bracket 13.
  • an angle grinder as clearly shown in Fig. 3
  • the drive shaft 2a is mounted free in rotation, integral with the plate 1 and with the axis X-X perpendicular to it.
  • the plate 1 is of a generically isosceles triangle shape, with the drive shaft 2a arranged close to the vertex.
  • gripping members are also fixed in order to operate the device by hand.
  • Such members are for example in the form of a pair of manoeuvring handles 5, 6, attached to the top of the plate 1 - that is, the one where the motor 2 is also arranged - by means of studs (not shown), which engage in threaded holes 11 and 12 of the plate 1.
  • the motor assembly 2 is fixed with the support 13 in such a way that the centre of gravity falls as much as possible between the two handles 5 and 6, in order to achieve an advantageous balance of the device.
  • the plate 1 can also be associated to a conveying duct 14, forming a fastening attachment of the flexible tube of a vacuum cleaner for processing scrap (not shown).
  • a guiding bar 4 is mounted on the lower portion of the plate 1, the distance of said bar being adjustable with respect to the rotation axis X-X of the drive shaft 2a.
  • the guiding bar 4 is constrained at one end by a vertical pin 4a inserted in a respective seat 7 (see Fig. 3 ), which allows its rotation according to an axis perpendicular to the plate 1; at its opposite end, the bar 4 has a threaded hole 4b, in which a threaded pin 8 is engaged, which is long enough to pass through an elongated aperture 10 made in the plate 1, engaging on its free end a tightening knob or wheel handle 9, by which the locking of the threaded pin 8 in the desired position is determined.
  • the bar 4 has, for most of its length, a continuous section structure, for example a quadrilateral section, but has a central area 4c recessed according to a large flaring.
  • this recessed area 4c is defined in correspondence to the rotation area of the abrasive disc, because it is intended to leave room for a peripheral part of the abrasive disc 3. In this way, at least a peripheral area of the disc 3 can move into contact with the edge M' of a tile intended to remain in abutment against the bar 4.
  • the abrasive disc 3 can work "from below", that is to say below the tile against which the plate 1 rests.
  • the abrasive disc is configured and mounted on the drive shaft 2a so as to remove material between the disc itself and the motor 2.
  • the abrasive disc is not comparable to a classic thin cutting disc, which should be operated in a significantly different way, but is rather in the form of a grinding wheel of a certain thickness, so that its peripheral edge has a suitable shape to work on the edge of the tile.
  • a suitable abrasive grinding disc is, for example, a cut-out disc of the type available from the Applicant under the trade name MondrilloTM.
  • the abrasive disc or grinding wheel 3 is arranged on a plane parallel to that of the tile and operate with its bevelled circumferential part (for example at 45° to perform "jolly” cutting).
  • the bar 4 Apart from a slight clearance that the grinding wheel 3 must have with respect to the lower surface of the plate 1, the bar 4 also has the function of a spacer to determine the height of the tile that is not affected by the wear action of the grinding wheel 3.
  • the bar 4, properly adjusted defines an abutment line of the tile which prevents a mutual approach of the grinding wheel to the edge of the tile over a certain extent and also the minimum tile thickness which is not affected by wear of the grinding wheel, as clearly shown in Fig. 5 .
  • the recessed thickness 4c of the bar 4 in the flaring area defines the desired spacing between the working surface of the grinding wheel 3 and the noble surface of the tile on which plate 1 is moved.
  • the operation of the device according to the invention involves, first of all, the adjustment of the correct distance between the bar 4 and the rotation axis X-X of the abrasive disc, so as to define the desired bevelling depth to be realised on the edge of the tile. Then, the operator grasps the handles 5 and 6 of the device with hands, in the manner shown in Fig. 1 , and lies it with the plate 1 on the upper, noble surface of a tile M, with the corresponding bar 4 close to the edge M' of the same tile.
  • the operator always keeping the support plate 1 with pressure on the surface of the tile M, in the top-to-bottom direction, starts the rotation of the abrasive disc and moves the disc towards the tile M, as long as the bar 4 does not abut against the edge M'.
  • the bevel can be completed by sliding the device along the edge M' of the tile, with the bar 4 always in abutment. In doing so, the disc 3 can trim this edge, so as to shape it as desired.
  • Figures 2 and 5 show an abrasive disc 3, whose periphery has an abrasive edge 3a which is bevelled at 45° with respect to the vertical axis X-X of the rotary motor shaft.
  • This profile of the edge 3a of the disc is intended to bevel the edge of the tiles for "jolly" cutting, as mentioned in the introductory part.
  • the trimming device according to the present invention perfectly achieves the aim of allowing, with an extremely simple and lightweight structure, easy to be hand-driven, and also cost-effective, the trimming on the lower side of the edge of the tile, without working on the upside-down tile. This condition improves machining precision and avoids damage to the outer noble surface of the tile.
