Abstract
A planishing device (10) with a pulling element (11) and lever arms (151.1, 151.2) connected in an articulated manner, with bearing elements (12.1, 12.2) for bearing on a material layer (WS), characterised in that the lever arms (151.1, 151.2) in the region of the end (158.1, 158.2) lying opposite their grip are connected in an articulated manner to a joint member (157) connecting the lever arms (151.1, 151.2) at a location (161) distanced from these ends (158.1, 158.2), are supported in an articulated and movable manner via supports (162.1, 162.2) on a supporting element (16) that is interactively connected to the bearing elements (12.1, 12.2). Pulling element (11) is connected to joint member (157) via a rod (154).
Claims13
A planishing device (10) with a pulling element (11) and lever arms (151.1, 151.2) connected in an articulated manner as well as bearing elements (12.1, 12.2) for bearing on a material layer (WS), characterised in that the lever arms (151.1, 151.2) in the region of the end (158.1, 158.2) lying opposite their grip are connected in an articulated manner to a joint member (157) connecting the lever arms (151.1, 151.2) and the lever arms (151.1, 151.2) at a location (161) distanced from these ends (158.1, 158.2) are supported in an articulated and movable manner via support means (162.1, 162.2) on a supporting element (16) interactively connected to the bearing elements (12.1, 12.2), and that the pulling element (11) is connected to the joint member (157).
A planishing device according to one of the preceding claims, characterised in that the bearing elements (12, 14) are arranged on the supporting element (16) such that the foot (52) of the bearing elements (12, 14) is adjustable to the supporting element (16) with regard to the distance (d1) and/or angular position.
A planishing device according to one of the preceding claims, characterised in that the bearing elements (12, 14) in each case have at least two feet (52).
A planishing device according to one of the preceding claims, characterised in that at least one foot (52) of the bearing elements (12, 14) has a fastening means (55) which is temporarily connectable and releasable to and from the material layer (WS).
A planishing device according to one of the preceding claims, characterised in that the connection element (13) has an end surface (61) for connection to the adhesive location.
A planishing device according to one of the preceding claims, characterised in that the linkage location of the joint member (157) and of the support means (162) on the lever arms (151) and the grip of the levers arms (163) are distanced from one another in a manner such that the lever arms have a transmission ratio of at least 1:3.
A method for planishing material layers (WS) with a pulling element (11) which in the dent region (B) is connected to this, characterised by the following method steps;
- (a) connecting a connection element (13) to the material layer (WS);
- (b) adjusting support means (162.1, 162.2) of the lever arms (151.1, 152.2) with respect to a supporting element (16);
- (c) connecting the pulling element (11) to the connection element (13) via a coupling (63, 69);
- (d) applying bearing elements (12.1, 12.2) connected to the supporting element (16) on the workpiece to be treated;
- (e) introducing a force (F) essentially perpendicular to the dent region (B) by actuating the lever arms (151.1, 151.2);
- (f) releasing the connection between the connection element (13) and the material layer (WS).
