Abstract
By means of a cutting machine according to the invention, the cutting of blocks of foam rubber can be effected in a more precise, less energy-demanding and at the same time less space-demanding manner compared to the known machines. This is achieved by a cutting arrangement which is supported by rocker arms (6), so that the cutting arrangement is balanced in the support, whereby only a small amount of energy is required to tilt the cutting arrangement and herewith the cutting blade (2) up and down during the cutting operation. The guide rails (4) for the control of the cutting blade (2) can be adjusted in such a manner that the cutting plane (9) of the machine can be inclined for diagonal cutting.
Claims12
A machine for cutting clocks of material comprising:
- a pair of vertical guide rails mounted on a base between which the blocks pass,
- a frame having a carriage at one end for moving along said guide rails, said carriage carrying means for cutting the material of a block, and
- an elongated support member, means for coupling one end of said support member to said frame at a point spaced from the carriage and the other end to said base with said coupling means including a pivot at one end of said support member to permit said frame to rotate about an axis on said one support member end, vertical movement of said carriage and the cutting means thereon on said vertical guide rails rotating said frame about said pivot while being supported by said support member.
