Description

Folding device

The present invention relates to a folding device, and more particularly to a folding device that can be positioned.

As shown in Fig. 1, the conventional manual cutting device generally has the following pressing knife, forcing the cutting object to be torn to achieve the cutting effect. Referring to FIG. 1 , the conventional manual cutting device 1 includes a cutting platform 11 , a cutter 12 and a positioning component 14 , wherein the cutting platform 11 is pivotally connected to the cutter 12 . In use, the to-be-cut object is placed on the cutting platform surface 111, the surface of the cutting platform is printed with the scale 112 available side, and then the positioning object 14 is used to fix the object to be cut, and the cutting knife 12 is pressed down to complete the cutting. To be cut.

Since in the manual cutting device 1, the object to be cut, such as paper or other thin material, when the cutter 12 cuts the object to be cut, if the force is improperly applied, it is easily driven by the cutter 12 or stuck on the cutting platform. Next to the 11 side, the cut of the cut portion is not flat. In addition, when the knife 12 is pressed down, there is a possibility that the hand of the cutter 12 needs to be extra careful because the hand is accidentally cut. In the conventional manual cutting device 1, on the one hand, the risk is high, and on the other hand, the cutter 12 of the manual cutting device 1 is pivotally connected at one end, so that when the cutter 12 is cut away from the pivotal position, the force distance is shortened. Therefore, it is necessary to be very hard to cut the object to be cut.

As described above, the conventional manual cutting device 1 only has the function of cutting the object to be cut. If the user needs to bend the object to be cut after cutting, other tools must be used at this time. Or method can be achieved.

Therefore, how to avoid the danger caused by the cutting knife in the cutting device, increase the accuracy of cutting and provide a cutting and bending device at the same time is one of the important issues of today.

In view of the above problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a folding device capable of avoiding the danger caused by the cutting of the cutting device and increasing the accuracy of the cutting, and also bending the thin material.

To achieve the above object, a folding device according to the present invention includes a first platform, a second platform, a pressing member, and a positioning member. The second platform has two platform portions that are pivotally connected to each other, and the second platform is coupled with the first platform to form a plane. The pressing component has a pivoting portion and a pressing portion. The pivoting portion is coupled to the first platform. The nip has a reference surface that presses the thin material against the flat surface. The positioning component has a positioning surface that is slidably disposed on the first platform, and the positioning surface is in contact with the thin material.

In an embodiment of the invention, the second platform has a first platform portion and a second platform portion, wherein the first platform portion is pivotally connected to the second platform portion.

In an embodiment of the invention, the connection between the first platform and the second platform is a fitting connection, an engagement connection, a lock connection, and a fastening connection.

In an embodiment of the invention, the first platform is coupled to the first platform portion of the second platform.

In an embodiment of the invention, the second platform portion is bent toward the plane to interfere with the reference surface.

In an embodiment of the invention, the first platform is coupled to the second platform portion of the second platform.

In one embodiment of the invention, the thin material is positioned in a plane by the positioning element and the reference surface is the cutting reference for the thin material.

According to the above, a folding device according to the present invention allows the user to freely combine the first portion or the second portion according to the required situation. When the first platform is combined with the first portion, the second portion can be bent toward the plane to oppose the reference surface, and the thin material is also bent to achieve the folding effect; when the first platform is combined with the second portion, the reference surface is Auxiliary can cut, mark or tear thin materials. Since the pressing element and the positioning element fix the thin material on the plane, it can be accurately folded or cut. Compared with the prior art, the folding device of the present invention has the functions of folding and cutting at the same time. Since the cutting knife is not included, the danger caused by the unfixed or lower pressing of the cutting knife can be avoided, and by matching the pressing elements with Position the components for precise folding and cutting.
