Definitions

  • the invention relates to a pounding device for cutting fine-grained materials such as slate, fiber cement or tile, the use of said pounding device and a method for pounding/cutting fine-grained materials, such as slate, fiber cement or tile.
  • roofing with slate is a very time-consuming work, as the cutting out of the slate is typically done by means of traditional hand tools.
  • the cutting to size of slate plates is typically done before mounting the plate on the roof by means of a traditional slate cutter, which is basically two pieces of angle iron bolted together to form a cutting edge.
  • the fixed piece can be mounted to a board, and a fence or guide could be added to ensure a 90 degree cut.
  • An example of such a slate cutter is disclosed in British patent GB506375.
  • Another example of a well- known slate cutter is the slate tongs which may be used for cutting slate in intricate shapes, such as curvatures.
  • a motorized circular saw may be used, for example, with a diamond blade to make the cuts in the slate.
  • slate hammer Another typical tool to be used in relation to slate is the slate hammer, which is typically used for nailing the slate plates to the roof.
  • the slate hammer is typically also used for trimming the slate plate after performing the cut in order to obtain a natural look and a beveled or jagged edge of the plate.
  • An example of a slate hammer is disclosed in French patent application FR2885830.
  • the invention relates to a fine-grained material pounding device for pounding/cutting fine-grained materials, such as slate, fiber cement or tile, comprising
  • one or more jaw elements for resting on one or both sides of a plate of fine-grained material during operation of said pounding device
  • a motor element connected to said movable cutter for establishing a reciprocating movement of said movable cutter
  • fine-grained material is to be understood as material that may be crushed by being pounded. Examples of such material are slate, fiber cement and tile. These materials are all characterized by being easily crushable.
  • the invention provides an advantageous device for cutting slate and the like materials by means of performing a pounding action. When the material is hit by the movable cutter of the pounding device, a small piece of the material is crushed.
  • An advantageous feature of the invention is that a cut made by a pounding device according to the invention automatically leaves beveled or jagged edges on one side of the plate of fine-grained material on both sides of the cut, thus eliminating the need of using a slate hammer for trimming the plates after cutting.
  • one or more jaw elements for resting on one or both sides of the plate during the cutting makes it easier for the worker to operate the pounding device during the process of cutting. Furthermore, the one or more jaws resting on one or both sides of the plate of fine-grained material work as backstops positioning the plate during the cutting, which minimizes the risk of occurrence of cracks or breaks in the material being positioned by the jaws when it is pounded by the movable cutter.
  • said pounding device is suited for handheld operation.
  • Manufacturing the pounding device as a handheld light weight tool is very advantageous in that the device may easily be carried and operated by a worker without any considerable physical burden.
  • the cutting of plates can take place on the roof, so that the worker does not have to climb down to the ground or to a scaffold to perform the cutting before climbing up again to nail the plate to the roof.
  • said motor element is electrically driven. It is advantageous to have an electrically driven motor element because electric motors are typically substantially smaller and lighter than combustion engines, that are able to perform a similar amount of work.
  • said motor element is powered by an electrical battery.
  • the pounding device is powered by a battery. This feature makes it easier for the worker to operate the device due to the fact that he or she does not depend on cabling to the mains power.
  • said pounding device moreover comprises at least two jaw elements positioned on opposite sides of said movable cutter.
  • the inclusion of at least two jaw elements for resting on one or both sides of the plate during the cutting makes it easier for the worker to operate the pounding device during the process of cutting. Furthermore, by using jaws resting on one or both sides of the plate on both sides of the movable cutter, the edges on both sides of the groove made by the pounding device will be left beveled and jagged without cracks and breaks, when a plate of fine-grained material has been cut by the pounding device.
  • said jaw elements are connected to said motor element, thereby establishing a reciprocating movement of at least one of said jaw elements during operation of the pounding device.
  • the jaw elements perform a reciprocating movement, preferably in an opposite cycle than the movable cutter.
  • the distances (SP) between each of said one or more jaw elements (JE) and said movable cutter (MC) in a direction perpendicular to the direction of motion of said movable cutter (MC) are between 0.1 mm and 20 mm, preferably between 1 mm and 15 mm and most preferred between 2 mm and 10 mm.
  • the sizes of the beveling of the edges on the front of the plate being cut depend on the distances between the jaw elements and the movable cutter. Appropriate sizes of the beveling are achieved if the distances are kept within the specified ranges. It should be noted that in the case of two or more j aw elements, the distances between each of them and the movable cutter must not necessarily be the same.
  • said at least one movable cutter has a pounding part and a driving part positioned between said jaw elements, said movable cutter being pivotable around a pivot j oint.
  • Arranging the movable cutter with a pounding part and a driving part placed on opposite sides of a pivot joint is an advantageous way of achieving the desired motion of the movable cutter.
  • said movable cutter reciprocates at a frequency of between 50 and 1500 reciprocating movements per minute, preferably between 100 and 1200 reciprocating movements per minute and most preferred between 300 and 700 reciprocating movements per minute during operation of the pounding device (PD).
  • said pounding device moreover comprises a spacer for cutting at a predefined distance from a reference.
  • a spacer is in advantageous when plates have to be cut into a specified width, or when they should just be cut with a straight cut.
  • the reference may e.g. be a piece of wood such as a lath or a rafter on a roof.
  • a spacer can be used for cutting plates in intricate shapes, such as curvatures, by letting the spacer follow a template having the desired shape.
  • a pounding device as described above for pounding/cutting fine-grained material, such as slate, fiber cement or tile.
  • a pounding device according to the present invention for cutting fine-grained material is very advantageous in that the device is easily operated by a worker, for example on a roof-top, thus eliminating the need to climb down for cutting each slate plate before climbing up again for nailing it to the roof. Furthermore, the jagged edges left behind by a pounding device according to the present invention after cutting a plate of fine-grained material eliminates the need of using a slate hammer for trimming the plates after cutting.
