Abstract
A tool for cutting a panel made of reconstituted material comprises a fixed support on which a blade is mounted so as to be able to pivot. A slot is provided which is designed to receive at least part of the blade during cutting. A movable support is mounted so as to be able to move about the rotation pin (21), between an engagement position in which the movable support is arranged along the longitudinal edges of the slot of the fixed support, and a retracted position in which the movable support is arranged spaced apart from the longitudinal edges of the slot of the fixed support. The movable support comprises a slot of width smaller than the width of the slot of the fixed support and greater than the width (Lt) of the blade.
Claims11
A cutting tool (100, 200, 300) for cutting a panel which is made of reconstituted material and which has a given thickness (e1, e2, e3, e4) the tool comprising a fixed support (10) on which a blade (20), having a given blade width (Lt), is mounted so as to be able to pivot by means of a pivot (21), between an open position for receiving the panel which is to be cut, and a closed position at the end of a cut, the fixed support (10) comprising a portion (2) that is provided with a first slot (3) which receives at least part of the blade (20) during the cut, the first slot (3) comprising two longitudinal edges (3a-3b) that are spaced apart from one another by a first slot width (Lfmax) which is strictly greater than the blade width (Lt) such that the blade (20) is spaced apart from each longitudinal edge (3a-3b) of the first slot (3) and does not come into contact with said longitudinal edges of the first slot when passing from the open position to the closed position, characterized in that the tool comprises at least one movable support (30, 40, 50, 60) that is mounted so as to be able to move about the rotation pin of the blade between an engagement position in which the movable support (30, 40, 50, 60) is arranged within the first slot and between the longitudinal edges (3a-3b) of the first slot (3) of the fixed support (10), and a retracted position in which the movable support (30, 40, 50, 60) moves in and away from the first slot between the longitudinal edges of the first slot of the fixed support, said at least one movable support (30, 40, 50, 60) comprising a second slot (33, 43, 53, 63) of a width (Lf, 11, Lf2, 143) smaller than the width (Lfmax) of the first slot (3) of the fixed support (10), and greater than the width (Lt) of the blade (20).
