Abstract

A method of and an apparatus for the cutting of rectangular windows on mats provides a pair of blades on respective tracks which are simultaneously displaced to cut a pair of mutually perpendicular cuts in a blank positioned on a worktable. The blade carriages are actuated by pneumatic cylinders and in turn carry pneumatic cylinders for raising and lowering the blades. The margins of the mat are defined by adjustable bars whose perpendicular distances from a reference point, represented by the junction of the paths of the cuts, can be set.

Description

La présente invention concerne un procédé pour le découpage de fenêtres carrées ou rectangulaires dans des cadres destinés à l'encadrement artistique. Elle a aussi pour objet un appareil mécanisé spécialement conçu pour la mise en oeuvre de ce procédé de découpage.The present invention relates to a method for cutting square or rectangular windows in frames intended for artistic framing. It also relates to a mechanized device specially designed for the implementation of this cutting process.

L'encadrement d'estampes, d'aquarelles, de photographies, etc... nécessite le plus souvent, avant mise sous verre et fixation dans la moulure du cadre, l'interposition d'une plaque dite "passe-partout", réalisée dans la plupart des cas en carton mince, et constituant une sorte de cache. Dans cette plaque de carton, pouvant être de couleur ou non, grainée, unie, toilée ou non, est ménagée une fenêtre de forme carrée ou rectangulaire laissant apparaître le sujet et l'entourant d'une marge décorative de présentation plus ou moins large. La figure 1 du dessin schématique annexé montre une telle plaque de carton (1), dont la fenêtre centrale est indiquée en (2).Framing prints, watercolors, photographs, etc ... usually requires, before putting under glass and fixing in the frame molding, the interposition of a plate called "passe-partout", made in most cases in thin cardboard, and constituting a kind of cover. In this cardboard plate, which may or may not be colored, grained, plain, clothed or not, a window of square or rectangular shape is made revealing the subject and surrounding it with a decorative margin of more or less wide presentation. Figure 1 of the accompanying schematic drawing shows such a cardboard plate (1), the central window of which is indicated in (2).

Le découpage de la fenêtre (2) se fait jusqu'à maintenant à l'aide d'un appareil n'effectuant qu'une seule coupe à chaque opération. Cet appareil, dont le principe est rappelé sur la figure 1, possède un porte-lame coulissant manuellement sur un rail, pour le déplacement d'une lame unique (3). L'appareil comprend encore un presseur, une règle de butée réglable (4) pour modifier la largeur de marge, et des butées de déplacement de la lame (3).The cutting of the window (2) is done until now using a device making only one cut at each operation. This device, the principle of which is recalled in FIG. 1, has a blade holder sliding manually on a rail, for the displacement of a single blade (3). The apparatus further includes a presser, an adjustable stop rule (4) for changing the margin width, and blade displacement stops (3).

Cet appareil connu se prête peu à la mise en oeuvre de séries importantes. En effet, dans un premier temps, après réglage de la première marge (ml) et de la longueur de déplacement (ab) correspondant à la direction longitudinale, l'opérateur présente le flan de carton (1) en appui par son grand côté (AB) contre la règle de butée (4), puis immobilise le flan à l'aide du presseur. Il exécute alors un premier trait de coupe (ab) puis, après libération du presseur, il retourne le flan (1) de manière à présenter le côté opposé (CD) contre la règle de butée (4). Après un nouveau pressage, l'opérateur fait un deuxième trait de coupe (cd) parallèle au premier trait (ab).This known device lends itself little to the implementation of large series. In fact, initially, after adjusting the first margin (ml) and the displacement length (ab) corresponding to the longitudinal direction, the operator presents the cardboard blank (1) in support by its long side ( AB) against the stop rule (4), then immobilizes the blank using the presser. It then performs a first cutting line (ab) then, after release of the presser, it turns over the blank (1) so as to present the opposite side (CD) against the stop rule (4). After another pressing, the operator makes a second cutting line (cd) parallel to the first line (ab).

Ensuite le flan (1) est de nouveau libéré, et stocké en l'état semi-ouvré de deux coupes parallèles (ab et cd), avec tous les autres flans de la même série qui doivent être découpés aux mêmes dimensions.Then the blank (1) is released again, and stored in the semi -worked state of two parallel cuts (ab and cd), with all the other blanks of the same series which must be cut to the same dimensions.

Après un réglage éventuel de l'autre marge (m2) et d'une course u<" lame différente correspondant à la largeur (ad) de la fenêtre (2), même processus est repris pour effectuer deux traits de coupes parallèles (ad puis cb). Le quadrilatère de carton (abcd) délimité par les quatre traits de coupe' réalisés peut alors être enlevé, dégageant ainsi la fenêtre (2).After possible adjustment of the other margin (m2) and a stroke u <" different blade corresponding to the width (ad) of the window (2), same process is repeated to make two parallel cutting lines (ad then cb). The cardboard quadrilateral (abcd) delimited by the four cutting lines 'realized can then be removed, thereby clearing the window (2).

Actuellement, le découpage total de la fenêtre nécessite donc deux phases manuelles, avec deux réglages généralement distincts et pour chacune des phases un retournement du flan de carton (1). A ces opérations s'ajoutent encore les manipulations nécessaires au stockage et au déstockage des produits semi-ouvrés, entre les deux phases de fabrication.Currently, the total cutting of the window therefore requires two manual phases, with two generally distinct adjustments and for each of the phases a reversal of the cardboard blank (1). To these operations are added the manipulations necessary for the storage and destocking of semi-finished products, between the two manufacturing phases.

L'invention vise à éliminer ces inconvénients, en fournissant un procédé et un appareil mécanisé de découpage ne nécessitant qu'un seul réglage, un seul passage sur la machine et un seul retournement pour l'obtention d'un "passe-partout" fini à partir d'un flan de carton plein, ceci sans stockage ni manipulation intermédiaires, et avec possibilité de réaliser des fenêtres carrées ou rectangulaires, donc un procédé et un appareil universels qui simplifient et accélérent le découpage des fenêtres, en le rendant plus rationnel et plus économique notamment pour la mise en oeuvre de séries importantes.The invention aims to eliminate these drawbacks by providing a mechanized cutting process and apparatus requiring only one adjustment, one pass on the machine and one turnaround to obtain a finished "master key" from a blank of solid cardboard, this without intermediate storage or manipulation, and with the possibility of making square or rectangular windows, therefore a universal process and apparatus which simplify and accelerate the cutting of windows, making it more rational and more economical especially for the implementation of large series.

A cet effet, le procédé selon l'invention pour le découpage de fenêtres carrées ou rectangulaires dans des cadres destinés à l'encadrement artistique consiste essentiellement à positionner un flan de carton sur une surface de travail plane, à réaliser sur le flan deux premières coupes perpendiculaires correspondant à deux côtés adjacents de la fenêtre, à effectuer un retournement du flan sur la surface de travail, et à réaliser sur ce flan positionné comme précédemment mais retourné deux autres coupes perpendiculaires correspondant également à deux côté adjacents de la fenêtre qui se trouve ainsi totalement décou- pée.To this end, the method according to the invention for cutting square or rectangular windows in frames intended for artistic framing consists essentially of positioning a cardboard blank on a flat work surface, making two first cuts on the blank perpendicular corresponding to two adjacent sides of the window, to make a reversal of the blank on the work surface, and to make on this blank positioned as previously but turned over two other perpendicular cuts also corresponding to two adjacent side of the window which is thus totally dice neck - oped.

On exécute ainsi, presque simultanément, deux coupes perpendiculaires correspondant, dans le cas le plus général d'une fenêtre rectangu- laire, respectivement à une largeur et à une longueur de cette fenêtre. La même opération, répétée après retournement et positionnement similaire du flan, conduit au découpage quasi-simultané de l'autre largeur et de l'autre longueur de la fenêtre. La fenêtre est ainsi totalement découpée sans stockage intermédiaire, ni reprise de réglages, ni manipulations supplémentaires.Thus running almost simultaneously two sections corresponding perpendicular, in the most general case of a rectangular window has the ire respectively to a width and a length of this window. The same operation, repeated after inversion and similar positioning of the blank, leads to the almost simultaneous cutting of the other width and the other length of the window. The window is thus completely cut out without intermediate storage, nor resumption of adjustments, nor manipulation additional tions.

Selon un mode de mise en oeuvre avantageux de ce procédé, le positionnement initial du flan de carton sur la surface de travail plane est effectué en faisant coïncider le sommet d'un angle de la future fenêtre avec un point fixe de référence, et le positionnement similaire du flan après les premières coupes et le retournement, et avant les dernières coupes, est réalisé en faisant coïncider le sommet de l'angle de la fenêtre opposé au précédent avec le même point fixe de référence. Ce point de référence est aussi utilisé comme origine de tous les réglages : réglage des marges dans les deux directions perpendiculaires, et réglage de la course des outils de coupe suivant la longueur et la largeur (éventuellement égales) de la fenêtre.According to an advantageous embodiment of this method, the initial positioning of the cardboard blank on the flat working surface is carried out by making the apex of an angle of the future window coincide with a fixed reference point, and the positioning Similar of the blank after the first cuts and the reversal, and before the last cuts, is achieved by making the apex of the angle of the window opposite the previous coincide with the same fixed reference point. This reference point is also used as the origin of all adjustments: adjustment of the margins in the two perpendicular directions, and adjustment of the stroke of the cutting tools according to the length and the width (possibly equal) of the window.

L'appareil mécanisé pour le découpage de fenêtres de cadres, destiné à la mise en oeuvre du procédé défini ci-dessus, comprend essentiellement, au-dessus d'une table constituant la surface de travail plane, deux lames de coupe dont les supports respectifs sont déplaçables en translation le long de guides respectifs disposés selon deux directions perpendiculaires, ainsi que des moyens pour le positionnement des flans à découper sur ladite table. Dans une exécution mécanisée, les supports respectifs des deux lames de coupe sont déplacés alternativement suivant des directions perpendiculaires, le long des guides respectifs, au moyen de vérins de translation par exemple pneumatiques.The mechanized apparatus for cutting window frames, intended for implementing the method defined above, essentially comprises, above a table constituting the flat working surface, two cutting blades, the respective supports of which are movable in translation along respective guides arranged in two perpendicular directions, as well as means for positioning the blanks to be cut on said table. In a mechanized execution, the respective supports of the two cutting blades are moved alternately in perpendicular directions, along the respective guides, by means of translation jacks, for example pneumatic.

Avantageusement, les guides de translation sont fixes sur la table et les trajectoires perpendiculaires des deux lames de coupe concourent en un point fixe de référence, par rapport auquel est positionné une butée de réglage des marges formée par une équerre mobile, dont une première branche est montée coulissante sur la table, et dont l'autre branche est montée coulissante sur la première, les deux branches de l'équerre étant parallèles respectivement aux directions des guides de translation des supports de lames.Advantageously, the translation guides are fixed on the table and the perpendicular trajectories of the two cutting blades compete at a fixed reference point, relative to which is positioned a margin adjustment stop formed by a movable square, of which a first branch is sliding mounted on the table, and the other branch of which is sliding mounted on the first, the two branches of the bracket being respectively parallel to the directions of the translation guides of the blade supports.

La commande des deux vérins doit bien entendu être synchroni- sée de telle manière que la deuxième lame parvienne en fin de course au point fixe de référence alors que la première lame, précédemment arrivée au même point fixe, se trouve déjà ramenée en retrait de ce point.The order of the two cylinders must of course be synchronized s e so that the second blade reaches the end of travel to the fixed reference point while the first blade, previously arrived at the same fixed point, is already brought back from this point.

Les guides de translation portent des taquets mobiles constituant les butées réglables de fin de course des deux vérins précités, donc des deux lames de coupe.The translation guides carry movable tabs constituting the adjustable end-of-travel stops of the two aforementioned jacks, therefore of the two cutting blades.

D'autres vérins, placés sur les supports des lames, commandent la pénétration des lames dans les flancs de carton, avant translation.Other cylinders, placed on the blade supports, control the penetration of the blades into the cardboard sides, before translation.

De préférence, l'appareil est encore équipé d'un presseur en forme d'équerre, actionné par un vérin apte à le rapprocher ou l'éloigner de la surface de travail, les deux branches de ce presseur étant parallèles respectivement aux directions des guides de translation des supports de lames, donc aux directions de coupe.Preferably, the device is also equipped with a square-shaped presser, actuated by a jack capable of bringing it closer or away from the work surface, the two branches of this presser being parallel respectively to the directions of the guides. of translation of the blade supports, therefore to the cutting directions.

De toute façon, l'invention sera mieux comprise, et d'autres caractéristiques seront mises en évidence, à l'aide de la description qui suit, en référence à la figure 2 du dessin schématique annexé représentant, en perspective, une forme de réalisation de cet appareil.In any case, the invention will be better understood, and other characteristics will be highlighted, with the aid of the description which follows, with reference to FIG. 2 of the appended schematic drawing representing, in perspective, an embodiment of this device.

L'appareil mécanisé selon l'invention pour le découpage de fenêtres de cadres comprend :une table (5) munie de pieds (6) et offrant une surface de travail plane. Deux supports (7,8) fixés aux extrémités de la table (5) maintiennent au-dessus de cette table des guides de coulissement longitudinaux (9). Entre ces guides (9) et un support latéral (10) sont encore fixés, également au-dessus de la table (5), des guides de coulissement transversaux (11).The mechanized apparatus according to the invention for cutting window frames includes: a table (5) provided with legs (6) and offering a flat working surface. Two supports (7,8) fixed to the ends of the table (5) maintain above this table longitudinal sliding guides (9). Between these guides (9) and a lateral support (10) are also fixed, also above the table (5), transverse sliding guides (11).

Un premier vérin pneumatique de translation (12) a sa tige fixée au support (10), tandis que son corps est mobile et coulisse le long des guides transversaux (11) par ses extrémités. Le fond du vérin (12) constitue un support (13) pour une première lame de coupe (14). La lame (14) est montée sur son support coulissant (13) par l'intermédiaire d'un vérin (15) assurant sa pénétration dans le carton. Sur l'un des guides (11) est monté, en position réglable, un taquet (16) constituant une butée de fin de course pour le vérin de translation (12).A first pneumatic translation cylinder (12) has its rod fixed to the support (10), while its body is mobile and slides along the transverse guides (11) at its ends. The bottom of the jack (12) constitutes a support (13) for a first cutting blade (14). The blade (14) is mounted on its sliding support (13) by means of a jack (15) ensuring its penetration into the carton. On one of the guides (11) is mounted, in an adjustable position, a cleat (16) constituting an end-of-travel stop for the translation cylinder (12).

Un second vérin pneumatique de translation (17) a sa tige fixée au support (7), tandis que son corps est mobile et coulisse le long des guides longitudinaux (9) par ses extrémités. Le fond du vérin (17) constitue un support (18) pour une seconde lame de coupe (19). La lame (19) est également montée sur son support coulissant (18) par l'intermédiaire d'un vérin assurant sa pénétration dans le carton, ce dernier vérin n'étant pas visible à la figure 2 mais étant analogue au vérin (15). Sur l'un des guides (9) est également monté, en position réglable, un taquet (20) constituant une butée de fin de course pour le vérin de translation (17).A second pneumatic translation cylinder (17) has its rod fixed to the support (7), while its body is mobile and slides along the longitudinal guides (9) at its ends. The bottom of the jack (17) constitutes a support (18) for a second cutting blade (19). The blade (19) is also mounted on its sliding support (18) by means of a jack ensuring its penetration into the carton, this latter jack not being visible in FIG. 2 but being similar to the jack (15) . On one of the guides (9) is also mounted, in an adjustable position, a cleat (20) constituting an end-of-travel stop for the translation cylinder (17).

L'appareil est équipé d'une équerre (21) pour le réglage des marges, formée de deux branches mobiles (22,23). La première branche (22) s'étend longitudinalement, suivant une direction parallèle à celle des premiers guides de coulissement (9). Cette première branche (22) est montée coulissante en direction transversale, par ses extrémités qui se déplacent le long de rainures (24) creusées aux extrémités de la table (5), des moyens de blocage (25) permettant de l'immobiliser dans la position voulue. La seconde branche (23) de l'équerre (21) s'étend, perpendiculairement à la première branche (22), suivant une direction parallèle à celle des guides de coulissement transversaux (11) ; cette seconde branche (23) est montée coulissante sur la première branche (22), et elle comporte un moyen de blocage (26) permettant de l'immobiliser dans la position choisie. Des graduations (27,28), placées aux extrémités de la table (5) ainsi que sur la première branche (22), permettent de positionner avec précision les deux branches (22,23) de l'équerre (21) en fonction des valeurs désirées pour les marges.The device is fitted with a bracket (21) for adjusting the margins, formed by two movable branches (22,23). The first branch (22) extends longitudinally, in a direction parallel to that of the first sliding guides (9). This first branch (22) is slidably mounted in a transverse direction, by its ends which move along grooves (24) hollowed out at the ends of the table (5), locking means (25) making it possible to immobilize it in the desired position. The second branch (23) of the bracket (21) extends, perpendicular to the first branch (22), in a direction parallel to that of the transverse sliding guides (11); this second branch (23) is slidably mounted on the first branch (22), and it comprises a locking means (26) making it possible to immobilize it in the chosen position. Graduations (27,28), placed at the ends of the table (5) as well as on the first branch (22), make it possible to precisely position the two branches (22,23) of the bracket (21) according to the desired values for margins.

L'appareil comprend encore un dispositif presseur (29), comprenant une équerre dont les deux branches (30,31) sont parallèles respectivement aux directions des guides de translation (9,11). Cette équerre, permettant le maintien du flan de carton (1) pendant l'opération de coupe, est actionnée par un vérin non représenté agissant sur une tige verticale (32) solidaire de ladite équerre, ce vérin étant fixé à l'intersection des barres horizontales de deux potences (33,34) fixées à la table (5).The apparatus further comprises a pressing device (29), comprising a bracket whose two branches (30,31) are respectively parallel to the directions of the translation guides (9,11). This bracket, allowing the cardboard blank (1) to be maintained during the cutting operation, is actuated by a jack, not shown, acting on a vertical rod (32) integral with said bracket, this jack being fixed at the intersection of the bars. horizontal of two brackets (33,34) fixed to the table (5).

L'appareillage électro-pneumatique servant à l'alimentation et à la commande des différents vérins peut être supporté par le piète- ment de la table (5), afin de. dégager toute la surface de travail.The electro-pneumatic equipment used to supply and control the various cylinders can be supported by the base of the table (5), in order to. clear the entire work surface.

Avant de découper aux mêmes dimensions une série de flans (1), on positionne les deux branches (22,23) de l'équerre (21) en fonction des marges désirées, par référence au point fixe (0) se définissant comme le point de concours des trajectoires rectilignes des deux lames de coupe (14,19), donc comme un angle de la fenêtre (2) à découper. Les deux taquets (16,20) sont également positionnés et bloqués, sur les guides respectifs (9,11), de manière à fixer les courses des deux vérins de translation (12,17). Le recul maximal du vérin (12), déterminé par la position du taquet (16), correspond à la largeur de la fenêtre (2), tandis que le recul maximal du vérin (17), déterminé par la position du taquet (20), correspond à la longueur de la fenêtre (2).Before cutting a series of blanks (1) to the same dimensions, the two branches (22,23) of the bracket (21) are positioned as a function of the desired margins, by reference to the fixed point (0) defining itself as the point of the straight trajectories of the two cutting blades (14,19), so as an angle of the window (2) to be cut. The two tabs (16,20) are also positioned and locked on the respective guides (9,11), so as to fix the strokes of the two translation cylinders (12,17). The maximum recoil of the jack (12), determined by the position of the cleat (16), corresponds to the width of the window (2), while the maximum recoil of the jack (17), determined by the position of the cleat (20) , corresponds to the length of the window (2).

Ces réglages préliminaires étant effectués, un flan de carton (1) est amené sur la table (5) et positionné par application de deux de ses côtés contre les deux branches (22,23) de l'équerre (21). Le pres- seur (29) est abaissé pour maintenir le flan (1) dans cette position, puis les deux lames (14,19) sont mises en action par les vérins (12,15,17), de manière à réaliser les deux premières coupes suivant des côtés adjacents de la future fenêtre (2), à savoir une largeur (EO) et une longueur (FO). Un décalage convenable dans la commande des vérins permet à la seconde lame (19), par exemple, d'arriver au point de référence (O) alors que la première lame (14) est déjà en retrait.These preliminary adjustments being made, a cardboard blank (1) is brought onto the table (5) and positioned by applying two of its sides against the two branches (22, 23) of the bracket (21). The presser (29) is lowered to maintain the blank (1) in this position, then the two blades (14,19) are actuated by the jacks (12,15,17), so as to achieve the two first cuts along adjacent sides of the future window (2), namely a width (EO) and a length (FO). A suitable offset in the actuation of the jacks allows the second blade (19), for example, to arrive at the reference point (O) while the first blade (14) is already back.

Après libération du dispositif presseur (29), le flan (1) comportant déjà deux découpes est retourné et de nouveau positionné sur la table (5) contre l'équerre (21), de manière à faire coïncider avec le point de référence fixe (O) le point (0') qui correspond au sommet de la future fenêtre opposé à l'angle déjà découpé. Le presseur (29) est remis en place et les deux lames (14,19) sont remises en action comme précédemment, pour découper la seconde largeur (FO') et la seconde longueur (EO'). On obtient ainsi le découpage total de la fenêtre (2).After release of the pressing device (29), the blank (1) already comprising two cutouts is turned over and again positioned on the table (5) against the bracket (21), so as to coincide with the fixed reference point ( O) the point (0 ') which corresponds to the top of the future window opposite the angle already cut. The presser (29) is put back in place and the two blades (14,19) are put back into action as before, to cut the second width (FO ') and the second length (EO'). The total cutting of the window (2) is thus obtained.

Après une nouvelle libération du presseur (29), le cadre obtenu est retiré et un nouveau flan de carton (1) peut être amené sur la table (5) pour subir les mêmes opérations, et ainsi de suite...After a new release of the presser (29), the frame obtained is removed and a new blank of cardboard (1) can be brought to the table (5) to undergo the same operations, and so on ...

Les supports respectifs (13,18) des deux lames de coupe (14,19) comportent la possibilité de coupes en biseau comme de coupes orthogonales au plan du flan (1).The respective supports (13,18) of the two cutting blades (14,19) include the possibility of bevel cuts as of cuts orthogonal to the plane of the blank (1).

Comme il va de soi, l'invention ne se limite pas à la seule forme de réalisation de cet appareil mécanisé pour le découpage de fenêtres dans des cadres qui a été décrite ci-dessus, à titre d'exemple non limitatif ; elle en embrasse, au contraire, toutes les variantes respectant le même principe, et pouvant différer de la réalisation décrite ci-dessus :

  • - soit par des détails d'exécution, par exemple en utilisant, pour la commande de translation des lames de coupe, des vérins à corps fixe et non pas mobile, ou tout autre moyen de commande équivalent ;
  • - soit par le recours à des moyens équivalents, tels que l'utilisation de lasers à la place des deux lames de coupe, ou le remplacement du presseur en forme d'équerre par un presseur formé de deux règles concourantes, mises au contact du flan de carton par des vérins à galets accompagnant les outils de coupe ;
  • - soit par des aménagements complémentaires, tels que notamment des moyens permettant une automatisation de l'amenée des flans, du retournement de ces flans, et de l'évacuation des cadres finis.
It goes without saying that the invention is not limited to the only embodiment of this mechanized device for cutting windows in frames which has been described above, by way of nonlimiting example; on the contrary, it embraces all the variants respecting the same principle, and which may differ from the embodiment described above:
  • - Or by execution details, for example by using, for the translational control of the cutting blades, cylinders with fixed and not mobile body, or any other equivalent control means;
  • - either by the use of equivalent means, such as the use of lasers in place of the two cutting blades, or the replacement of the square-shaped presser by a presser formed by two rules concurrent, brought into contact with the cardboard blank by roller jacks accompanying the cutting tools;
  • - Either by additional arrangements, such as in particular means allowing automation of the supply of the blanks, the turning over of these blanks, and the evacuation of the finished frames.
