Abstract
An apparatus for paring tubular articles (R), especially for plastic tubes, has at least one support unit (10) for supporting the article (R) to be pared, a paring unit (40) which has a paring head (44) with at least one blade assembly (46) and at least one guide assembly (48), and a carrier unit (70) to which the support unit (10) and the paring head unit (40) are held in mutually spaced relationship. The paring head (44) is pivotable about a pivot axis (50) which extends at least approximately perpendicularly to the plane defined by the support unit (10) and the paring unit (40).
Claims18
An apparatus for paring tubular articles, comprising:
- at least one support unit for supporting the article to be pared;
- a paring unit comprising a paring head with at least one blade assembly and at least one guide assembly;
- a carrier unit for holding the support unit and the paring unit in a spaced apart relationship;
- wherein the paring head pivots about a pivot axis which extends approximately perpendicularly to a plane defined by the support unit and the paring unit;
- wherein the blade assembly comprises a knife member having at least one cutting edge formed generally parallel to the pivot axis of the paring head;
- and
- wherein the at least one guide assembly comprises at least two guide elements arranged successively in a direction in which paring occurs and the pivot axis is positioned between the guide elements.
