Abstract
An apparatus for cutting plastic profiles includes a knife which is guided transversally to the profile, the knife including a cutting section and a holding section, the cutting section defining a guide portion, a transition portion, and a blade portion defining a tip. The guide portion defines opposite external surfaces which are generally flat and parallel, and it has a thickness greater than a thickness of the holding section. The transition portion defines opposite external surfaces which curve from the blade portion to tangentially merge with the opposite external surfaces of the guide portion.
Claims6
An apparatus for cutting plastic profiles which comprises an elongated knife defining an edge which in cross section defines:
- a holding section having generally planar opposite external surfaces, said holding section defining a thickness, and
- a cutting section having a guide portion located adjacent the holding section, a blade portion having opposite external surfaces which merge into a blade edge, and a transition portion between the guide portion and the blade portion;
- the guide portion having opposite external surfaces that include a convex section that merges into a generally planar section and a thickness greater than said thickness of the holding section, said generally planar section of said opposite external surfaces of said guide portion being parallel to each other as they extend towards the blade edge, and said transition portion having opposite external surfaces which extend in a curved, convex manner from said opposite external surfaces of said blade portion to tangentially merge with said opposite external surfaces of said guide portion.
