Abstract
The invention provides a device and a method for cutting through an adhesive bead of a pane using a motor-driven winding-up device. The winding-up device includes a coil adapted to wind up a cutting wire for cutting through the adhesive bead and can be coupled, via a coupling that can be disengaged, to a suction disk that can be located on the vehicle inside in such a way that, preferably, the winding-up device is rotatably received on the suction disk. When the winding-up device is driven, it will therefore align itself automatically to the cutting wire.
Claims20
A device for cutting through an adhesive bead of a pane, comprising:
- a motor-driven winding-up device having a coil for winding up a cutter for cutting through the adhesive bead;
- a suction disk configured for attaching to an inside of the pane;
- a coupling element attached to said winding-up device;
- a coupling counter-element attached to said suction disk and being matched to said coupling element, configured for securing said coupling counter-element detachably and rotatably on said coupling element;
- and
- at least one guide roll arranged for guiding said cutter when winding onto said coil;
- a clamping means attached to said suction disk for securing one end of said cutter;
- and
- a support configured for guiding said winding-up device along a body to which said pane is fixed.
A device for cutting through an adhesive bead of a pane, comprising:
- a motor-driven winding-up device having a coil for winding up a cutter for cutting through the adhesive bead;
- a suction disk configured for attaching to an inside of the pane;
- a coupling comprising a coupling element and a coupling counter-element matched to each other, one of which being attached to said winding-up device, the other one of which being attached to said suction disk;
- wherein said coupling is configured for securing said coupling counter-element detachably on said coupling element.
A method of cutting through the adhesive bead of a pane comprising the steps of:
- placing a cutting means around the adhesive bead from the outside;
- fixing a first end of the cutting means;
- fixing a motor-driven winding-up device rotatably on a suction disk on the vehicle inside, using a coupling;
- guiding a second end of the cutting means through the adhesive bead and fixing it on the winding-up device;
- and
- driving the winding-up device for cutting through the adhesive bead, during which process the winding-up device aligns itself to the cutting means.
