Glass pattern cutting device

A glass cutting apparatus for cutting glass into preset patterns, said apparatus comprising:

• a workpiece holder adapted to simultaneously hold a glass workpiece and a pattern thereon, wherein said workpiece holder includes a pair of opposed clamping members for rotatably clamping the glass workpiece and the pattern therebetween;
• and wherein said workpiece holder includes a base member, a support arm rotatably attached to said base member at a first end thereof, a C-shaped frame rotatably attached to a second end of said support arm, and wherein said clamping members are attached to said C-shaped frame and
• a cutting unit including at least one cutter blade for scoring the glass workpiece which is held by said workpiece holder, and a pattern follower adapted to abut against the pattern held by said workpiece holder during scoring of the glass workpiece by said cutter.

A glass cutting apparatus for cutting a glass workpiece according to a predetermined pattern, said apparatus comprising:

• a cutting unit including a pair of aligned, opposed cutting blades for scoring opposed sides of the glass workpiece, the pattern follower adapted to abut against the pattern during scoring of the glass workpiece by said pair of cutter blades;
• and
• a workpiece holder adapted to rotatably hold the glass workpiece and the pattern which overlays the glass workpiece thereon, said workpiece holder including a pair of opposed clamping members for rotatably clamping the pattern and glass workpiece thereon and wherein said workpiece holder includes a base member, a support arm rotatably attached to said base member at a first end thereof, a C-shaped frame rotatably attached to a second end of said support arm, and wherein said clamping members are attached to said C-shaped frame.
