Abstract
A cutter device for cutting thermoplastic material may be truck mounted, and includes lifting means to present articles of thermoplastic material to a portion of the device which receives the articles and hydraulically operates to transfer the article to the cylindrical portion of the device along which the article is pushed toward one end of the device where a hydraulically operated knife can selectively cut off portions of the thermoplastic material as desired. The device also includes conveyor means to transfer the cut off portions of thermoplastic materials away from the cutter device to an area where they are intended to be used. The conveyor means are hydraulically operable from the same source of hydraulic pressure as operates the other components of this device.
Claims2
A cutter device for cutting thermoplastic material, comprising:
- a frame, including support means for portions of thermoplastic materials, pusher means for urging said portions of thermoplastic material toward a first end of said support means, an end plate on said support means, disposed substantially normal thereto, said end plate having a slot therein, a double acting knife blade slidable on said frame operable adjacent to and parallel to said end plate, said double acting knife blade having cutter means positioned thereon slidable in relation to said slot, power means to operate said pusher means and said knife blade, said power means being hydraulic means, and said hydraulic means including control means to operate said hydraulic means selectively, said pusher means including a hydraulic cylinder behind a reciprocable pusher member and in substantial axial alignment therewith to move said pusher member reciprocably, said frame including a hydraulically operable lift member positioned swingably adjacent said support means to receive said thermoplastic material and transfer said material to said support means, said frame including a swinging boom positioned upstandingly adjacent said support means and having hydraulically operable lifting means to lift articles of thermoplastic material and place them upon said lift member, said frame including a conveyor having a conveyor support frame attached pivotally by a first end to said frame adjacent said end plate, a cable having a first end attached to a second end of said support frame and second end attached to a hydraulically operated winch to raise and lower said conveyor, and a hydraulically operated conveyor belt, said conveyor positioned to receive cut portion of thermoplastic material and convey said portion to a remote location.
