Description

Description Cutting tool field of technology

[0001] The invention relates to a cutting tool with a first cutting part and a second cutting part, wherein the cutting parts are connected to one another in a joint for respective movement along a cutting plane, wherein furthermore the cutting parts delimit a cutting mouth in an open state of the cutting parts and each have free ends facing away from the joint and ends facing the joint. State of the art

[0002] Cutting tools of the type in question are known in various designs, for example, for cutting electrical cables, such as underground cables or pipes, particularly plastic pipes. The cutting parts of the cutting tool that define the cutting mouth can each be knife-shaped. Designs are also known in which only one cutting part, in particular a movable cutting part that is knife-shaped, is provided. The other cutting part can serve merely to support the material to be cut in the area of ​​the cutting mouth.

[0003] From US 6 370 780 B1, a cutting tool is known in which the first cutting part is formed with a receiving surface for holding the material to be cut and an insertion slot for the second cutting part passing through the receiving surface. Furthermore, with regard to the prior art, reference is made to US 4 312 127 A, which has a second cutting part which is The first cutting part is mounted on it and is actuated via a ratchet drive. The same is also known, for example, from US Pat. No. 6,098,291.

[0004] Starting from a state of the art as initially mentioned, for example, the task arises of advantageously developing a cutting tool of the type in question. Summary of the invention

[0005] A possible solution to the problem is provided according to a first inventive idea in a cutting tool in which an angular receiving part is hinged to the free end of one of the cutting parts, which can be pivoted between a pivoted-out receiving position and a pivoted-in holding position for holding a material to be cut during a cutting process.

[0006] A further possible solution to the problem can be achieved according to a further inventive idea in that an angular receiving part is attached to the free end of one of the cutting parts, which can be moved between an advanced receiving position and a retracted holding position for holding a material to be cut during a cutting process.

[0007] According to a further possible solution, it can also be provided that a receiving part is attached to a free end of one of the cutting parts and that the receiving part is adjustable in a locking manner in order to change a receiving space which is delimited by the receiving part itself or in cooperation of the receiving part with one of the cutting parts.

[0008] The arrangement of the angular receiving part facilitates the easier insertion of material to be cut, particularly material with a comparatively large diameter, into the cutting mouth. The material to be cut is preferably inserted into the receiving part, which has been pivoted out into the receiving position or moved into a protruding position relative to the associated cutting part, and is then moved together with the receiving part into the holding position by pivoting in or by sliding the receiving part back into the holding position, in which holding position the cutting process can then take place. For this purpose, the receiving part is arranged at a free end of a cutting part delimiting the cutting mouth, preferably by being hinged or slidably mounted.

[0009] In an embodiment in which pivotability of the receiving part is provided, the corresponding geometric pivot axis of the receiving part can run parallel to a geometric pivot axis of the cutting parts. Accordingly, according to a preferred embodiment, the geometric pivot axis of the receiving part can run substantially perpendicular to the cutting plane.

[0010] If the receiving part can be displaced, a straight-line displacement direction can result, which is essentially oriented along a longitudinal extension of the associated cutting part.

[0011] The receiving part has a first receiving leg and a second receiving part leg extending at an acute or obtuse angle thereto. With respect to the preferably U-shaped receiving part design described below, the receiving part leg corresponds to the U-shaped web, and the other leg, the receiving leg, corresponds to one of the U-legs, which is also described as an insertion leg.

[0012] With a pivotable arrangement on the cutting part, the receiving part can be displaced from the receiving position toward the holding position, as well as back from the holding position into the receiving position, over a pivot angle of more than 30°, more preferably 45° up to, for example, 90°, in particular approximately 55° to 60°. The end position, corresponding to the receiving position and / or the holding position, can be limited by a stop.

[0013] In the receiving position, the receiving part can extend at least partially outside the cutting mouth defined by the cutting parts. Accordingly, the material to be cut is preferably picked up by the receiving part essentially outside the cutting mouth and guided into the area of ​​the cutting mouth upon pivoting or retracting into the holding position.

[0014] The pivoting or sliding movement of the receiving part from the receiving position to the holding position can be performed manually, for example, by directly engaging the receiving part, but alternatively also by influencing the material to be cut inserted into the receiving part. In the case of electric or electro-hydraulic cutting tools, the respective drive energy can also be used for the motorized movement of the receiving part.

[0015] The cutting parts do not need to be provided with a cutting edge. One of the cutting parts, preferably the first cutting part, can also simply function as a counter-holder. The counter-holder can be designed as an anvil with a contact surface running transversely to the cutting plane. The counter-holder can also be provided with a retractable Opening, optionally formed as an entry slot, for a cutting edge of the further, second cutting part.

[0016] In one possible embodiment, the receiving part is pivotably or displaceably mounted on the free end of the cutting part designed as a counterholder.

[0017] In order to adapt the receiving space to the cross-sectional extent of the material to be cut, for example the diameter, a locking adjustment can be provided, which can also have a stand-alone significance and independently of the further design of the cutting tool, in particular with regard to the pivoting or sliding displaceable arrangement of the receiving part at the free end of the cutting part.

[0018] In this case, for example, the receiving leg can be displaceable relative to the receiving part leg and / or the associated cutting part or the receiving part leg can be displaceable relative to the receiving leg and / or the cutting part, wherein the desired displacement position can be secured due to a locking mechanism at least during the cutting process.

[0019] Such a locking mechanism can already occur in the swiveled-out or advanced receiving position of the receiving part and can be retained in the swiveled-in or retracted holding position at least until the cutting process is completed. Alternatively, this locking mechanism can also only occur in the holding position or during the swiveling or sliding movement of the receiving part into the holding position.

[0020] The locking position can, as further preferred, be released solely by deliberate user intervention, for example, as a result of and during the repositioning of the receiving part toward the receiving position. A targeted release of the locking position can also be performed before initiating the repositioning of the receiving part.

[0021] Further features are explained below, including in the description of the figures, often in their preferred relationship to the solution described in principle or to other features. However, they may also be important in a relationship to only individual features already described or to the respective further described feature, or each may be important independently.

[0022] Thus, according to a preferred embodiment, the cutting tool can be manually operable and comprise a first and a second handle. One of the handles can be designed as a fixed handle, and the other handle can be designed as a handle that is pivotable relative to the fixed handle.

[0023] Furthermore, the first cutting part can be designed as a fixed cutting part, with the joint connecting the two cutting parts to each other being arranged on the first cutting part. In a manually operable design of the cutting tool, the fixed handle part can also be rigidly connected to the fixed cutting part.

[0024] In a further preferred embodiment, both handle parts are attached to the fixed cutting part, so further preferably the fixed handle part is rigidly connected to the fixed cutting part and the pivotable handle part is connected via a possibly further joint formation. dung. Furthermore, as is also preferred, the second cutting part can be pivotable via a ratchet drive. For this purpose, the pivotable handle part, when actuated via a feed lever, can act on a toothing formed on the second cutting part and thus cause a pivoting displacement of the second cutting part. A locking lever, which also engages the toothing, also preferably prevents an unintentional backward displacement of the second cutting part.

[0025] According to a preferred embodiment, the receiving part can be hinged to the free end of the stationary cutting part. Accordingly, the second cutting part also moves relative to the receiving part that holds the material to be cut during the cutting process.

[0026] The cutting parts of the cutting tool are preferably arranged so that they can be moved past each other in a scissor-like manner. In particular, the first, stationary cutting part can serve directly, but preferably only indirectly via the receiving part, as an abutment for the cutting tool, while the second, pivotable cutting part has a cutting edge with a knife-like cutting edge configuration.

[0027] The second, pivotable cutting part can be movable laterally along the first, stationary cutting part with respect to the cutting plane during, and particularly towards the end of, the cutting process. In this context, a further preferred embodiment is one in which the first cutting part has a first insertion slot, into which the second cutting part inserts during a cutting process. This advantageously results in indirect or direct support of the material to be cut on the first, stationary cutting part on both sides of the cutting plane.

[0028] In order to achieve favorable support of the material to be cut in the area of ​​the receiving part during the cutting process, in a preferred embodiment, the receiving part also has a second insertion slot into which the second cutting part can be inserted during a cutting process. The first insertion slot of the first cutting part and the second insertion slot of the receiving part extend together according to the cutting plane.

[0029] The second insertion slot is preferably larger than the first insertion slot, viewed perpendicular to the cutting plane. In the holding position, the first insertion slot is further preferably arranged within the second insertion slot.

[0030] Viewed perpendicular to the cutting plane, correspondingly viewed in the direction of the geometric pivot axis of the second cutting part, the receiving part can have a substantially U-shaped configuration. The receiving part can have two U-shaped legs, possibly running substantially parallel to one another, and a U-shaped web connecting these U-shaped legs. Furthermore, the U-shaped legs can also diverge from one another, including a small angle to the U-shaped opening of, for example, 1° to 10°, or further, for example, approximately 5°.

[0031] The receiving part has a receiving contour that defines an opening area of ​​the U-shaped receiving part design. Furthermore, the opening area is particularly defined by the contact surfaces of the U-legs and the U-web, which face inwards and thus essentially face each other, as well as by an opening plane that touches the free ends of the U-legs of the receiving part and runs along the receiving opening created between the U-legs. This receiving contour is defined in In a preferred embodiment, regardless of the pivoting position of the receiving part, the outermost edge of the first cutting part is not penetrated. In a preferred embodiment, no cutting part section protrudes into the opening surface of the receiving part design in any displacement position, and accordingly, also in any intermediate displacement position of the receiving part.

[0032] The receiving part can have an insertion leg and a contact leg extending approximately at a right angle thereto. In the case of the U-shaped receiving part design, the insertion leg is one of the U-legs, while the contact leg is essentially provided by the U-web. In the basic design described above, only the insertion leg and the contact leg can be provided. The insertion leg can further enclose an acute angle of, for example, more than 60° up to an obtuse angle of, for example, further approximately 120°, more preferably, for example, more than 70° up to, for example, further less than 90°, and further, for example, further approximately 80°.

[0033] In the pivoted-in or retracted state of the receiving part, which state corresponds to the holding position, the insertion leg can essentially close the cutting mouth before the start of, as well as during, a cutting process. In this case, the insertion leg extends, for example, essentially transversely to the first, fixed cutting part in the direction, at least with reference to a tool position before the start of the cutting process, towards the opposite second cutting part. In this case, a distance can certainly be established between the free end of the insertion leg and the facing second cutting part and / or a fixed section of the cutting tool associated with this second cutting part, which distance, however, is selected to be smaller than it corresponds to the diameter or the smallest transverse dimension of a material to be cut in the cutting mouth.

[0034] In a further embodiment, the receiving part can have two insertion legs, a first and a second insertion leg, which, together with the contact leg, create the U-shaped configuration of the receiving part. The two insertion legs extending from the contact leg can have different lengths, with the length of the first insertion leg corresponding, for example, to approximately 1.5 to 2.5 times, or further, for example, to approximately 2 times the length of the second insertion leg. Furthermore, the first insertion leg can have an extension length that can further, for example, correspond to approximately 1.05 to 1.5 times, or further, for example, to approximately 1.2 times the length of the contact leg.

[0035] In addition, the second, preferably shorter insertion leg can enclose a preferably obtuse angle of more than 90° with respect to the surfaces facing inwards towards the receiving part opening surface to the contact leg, for example an angle of approximately 95° up to 120°, further for example approximately an angle of 100° to 110°, further for example approximately 105°.

[0036] The receiving contour can have a rounding with a comparatively large radius in the transition from the inner surfaces of the first insertion leg to the contact leg. The radius can be approximately 0.25 to 0.5 times the length of the first insertion leg. In a further embodiment, the transition from the contact leg to the second insertion leg can also be rounded, but in comparison to the rounding in the area between the first insertion leg and the attachment leg with a significantly smaller radius, which can be approximately 0.25 to 0.5 times, furthermore, for example, approximately one third of the radius between the first insertion leg and the attachment leg.

[0037] According to a further development, preferably in the case of the U-shaped receiving part design, the first insertion leg can be designed to be displaceable in order to change the size of the receiving part opening area or, preferably in the case of the design with only a first receiving leg and a second receiving part leg, to enlarge the receiving area of ​​the receiving part leg. As a result of this design, the receiving part opening area can be adapted at least substantially to the cross-sectional size of the material to be cut, for example, in the case of a tubular material to be cut, to the diameter of the material to be cut. By displacing the first insertion leg in one or the opposite direction, a reduction or increase in the distance to the optionally provided second insertion leg and thus to the receiving part opening area is possible.

[0038] According to a further preferred embodiment, the first insertion leg can be displaceable along the contact leg. In the case of the preferred embodiment with a U-shaped receiving part design, this results in a preferred parallel displaceability of the first insertion leg relative to the second insertion leg and approximately along the contact leg.

[0039] Advantageously, the first insertion leg can be secured against further displacement in different offset positions. For example, a pin or the like can be provided for this purpose that can be inserted into the desired offset position of the insertion leg.

[0040] Preferably, a locking retainer is provided to form the securing device. More preferably, this results in up to, for example, five, ten, fifteen, or more, for example, up to thirty lockable offset positions, further, for example, three, thirteen, or twenty-three lockable offset positions. In the case of a design with only one receiving leg and one receiving part leg, the offset positions of the receiving leg relative to the receiving part leg are correspondingly obtained.

[0041] In this context, the first insertion leg can, for example, essentially consist of a fixed first insertion leg that is rigidly connected to the contact leg and via the contact leg to the second insertion leg, and a second insertion leg that is displaceable relative to the first insertion leg along the contact leg and that, in a preferred basic position, can form the first insertion leg together with the first insertion leg. In the preferably locked offset position, the second insertion leg alone can form the effective first insertion leg. The locking can, as is also preferred, take place between the displaceable insertion leg and the rigid insertion leg. Locking of the displaceable insertion leg, for example, to the contact leg or to a fixed cutting part of the cutting tool is also possible.

[0042] The securing, preferably locking, is provided in a handling-technically advantageous manner, particularly in the pivoted-in or pushed-back holding position of the receiving part, so that the material to be cut is securely held in the receiving part during the cutting process despite the effect of the movable cutting part on the material to be cut.

[0043] The locking can only be provided in the holding position, preferably after pivoting in or sliding back the receiving part from the receiving position upon reaching the holding position.

[0044] Alternatively, the locking mechanism can also be engaged in the swung-out or advanced receiving position, so that the movable insertion part reaches the holding position already locked.

[0045] If the securing or locking mechanism is provided between the displaceable insertion part leg and a cutting part, this cutting part can have a counter-toothing which is designed for preferably positive-locking interaction with a toothing of the displaceable insertion part leg.

[0046] According to one possible embodiment, the toothing of the displaceable insertion part leg can be formed on a plug-in part, which plug-in part is formed in particular on the linearly displaceable holder of the displaceable insertion part leg on the contact leg of the receiving part which is fixed relative thereto.

[0047] A particularly advantageous handling feature is achieved if, according to a further possible embodiment, the movable insertion leg is biased toward a home position by a spring. For this purpose, a compression or tension spring, or even a cylindrical tension spring, can be used.

[0048] The basic position is preferably the displacement position of the insertion leg, in which the smallest extension of the U-shaped design of the receiving part, viewed in the direction of displacement of the insertion leg, or the smallest distance between the first insertion leg and the possibly provided second insertion leg, results. A cutting material inserted into the receiving part with an extension exceeding this smallest distance, for example, diameter, is therefore, at least in the receiving position, pressed by the spring-loaded insertion leg, preferably against the fixed second insertion leg, so that the displacement position of the insertion leg to be secured in the holding position can be automatically assumed, adapted to the extension of the cutting material.

[0049] It proves particularly advantageous that, in the holding position of the receiving part, a force acting on the material to be cut from the second cutting part forces the receiving part into the holding position—essentially via the material to be cut. Accordingly, simply by carrying out the cutting process, a stable position of the receiving part in the pivoted-in or retracted, preferably stop-limited, position is ensured.

[0050] The ranges or value ranges or multiple ranges specified above and below also include all intermediate values ​​with regard to the disclosure, in particular in 1 / 10 steps of the respective dimension, and may therefore also be dimensionless. For example, the specification 60° to 120° also includes the disclosure of 60.1° to 120°, 60° to 119.9°, 60.1° to 119.9°, etc., the disclosure of 1.5 to 2.5 times, also the disclosure of 1.6 to 2.5 times, 1.5 to 2.4 times, 1.6 to 2.4 times, etc. These Disclosure can, on the one hand, serve to delimit a specified range boundary from below and / or above, but alternatively or additionally, it can also serve to disclose one or more singular values ​​from a respective specified range.

Description of the embodiments

[0052] Shown and described is a manually operable cutting tool 1 with a first, fixed handle part 2 and a second, pivotable handle part 3 as well as a first, fixed cutting part 4 and a second cutting part 5 pivotable relative to the cutting part 4 and, in addition, a receiving part 6.

[0053] Figures 1 to 12 show a first embodiment of the cutting tool 1. Figures 13 to 27 relate to a second embodiment based on the first embodiment, with an adjustable receiving part 6. A third embodiment is shown in Figures 28 to 30. Figures 31 to 41 show a fourth embodiment. Figures 42 to 52 show a further fifth embodiment, essentially based on the fourth embodiment.

[0054] Starting from a preferably plate-like tool body 7, the first fixed handle part 2 extends preferably in one piece and more preferably of the same material. Substantially opposite to the handle part 2, the first fixed cutting part 4 also extends preferably in one piece and, more preferably, of the same material in the manner of a freely projecting leg.

[0055] As can be seen in particular from the illustrations in Figures 13 and 14 with regard to the second embodiment, in the cutting tool 1 of the first embodiment, two spaced-apart, preferably plate-shaped parts 14, in particular stamped parts, furthermore in particular stamped sheet steel parts, can also form the tool body 7. These two parts 14 for forming the tool body 7 can be designed essentially identically and extend at a distance from one another in the direction of a geometric pivot axis x, which will be described below.

[0056] The second cutting part 5, which is movable about the pivot axis x, and preferably a ratchet drive 8 are essentially arranged between the parts 14 of the tool body 7. A facing end section of the second, pivotable handle part 3, preferably held on the tool body 7 via a pivot pin 9, preferably engages in the space between the parts 14 of the tool body 7. A corresponding geometric pivot axis y preferably extends spatially parallel to the geometric pivot axis x in the joint 10 of the second cutting part 5.

[0057] The handle parts 2 and 3 can, as shown, each be provided with a handle cover 11.

[0058] In Figures 3 to 10, the front part 14 in the direction of view is not taken into account in the drawing solely for the purpose of clarifying the mechanics as well as the structure and mode of operation.

[0059] Furthermore, part of the rigid tool body 7 is a leg 13 which is also formed in one piece and further preferably of the same material as the respective part 14, which leg 13 forms with the tool body 7 as such and the leg-like fixed cutting part 4 a substantially with respect to limited to a view in the direction of the extension of the pivot axis x, a U-shaped cutting mouth M with a cutting receiving opening 12 formed by the U-shaped opening. The two sections of the parts 14 forming the leg 13 can, as also shown, be overlapped by a further cap 15 made, for example, of a plastic material.

[0060] The second, pivotable cutting part 5 has a knife 16 pointing in the direction of the cutting mouth M, which according to the illustrated embodiments can preferably have two knife edges 17 enclosing an obtuse angle of approximately 160° to 175° to one another in the longitudinal extension of the knife 16 as a whole.

[0061] This results in a movement of the second cutting part 5 in a cutting plane E resulting between the parts 14 (cf. Fig. 15).

[0062] The knife 16 is further preferably formed in one piece, optionally also of the same material, with a preferably plate-like ratchet section 18, which has a toothing 19 on the outside along an edge viewed in the circumferential direction with respect to the pivot axis x.

[0063] The pivoting mobility of the second cutting part 5 designed in this way can be limited by a stop, in particular in the basic position of the second cutting part 5 shown for example in Figure 3 due to the interaction of a guide pin 20 with a guide groove 21 left in the parts 14 of the tool body 7 and extending coaxially to the pivot axis x. In this stop-limited basic position, as is also preferred, the second cutting part 5, in particular its section forming the knife 16, can be substantially completely inserted between the legs 13 forming partial sections of the tool body 7 lie in a protected hidden position.

[0064] During a pivoting displacement of the second cutting part 5 starting from the basic position in a pivoting direction r, the guide pin 20 passes through the guide groove 21. Even in a pivoting end position, as shown for example in Figure 9, a stop limit can be provided due to the guide pin 20 being in contact with the relevant end of the guide groove 21.

[0065] The pivoting displacement of the second cutting part 5 in the pivoting direction r takes place in the exemplary embodiment and preferably using the ratchet drive 8. For this purpose, the handle part 3 can be provided with a feed lever 22 pivotally mounted thereon. This feed lever 22 engages with a feed finger 23 free at one end into the toothing 19 of the ratchet section 18 on the cutting part side. A pivoting displacement of the second handle part 3 in the direction of the handle part 2, which is fixed relative thereto, leads to a partial pivoting displacement of the second cutting part 5 via the engagement of the feed finger 23 in the toothing 19.A locking lever 24, which is further pivotally mounted on the tool body 7, in particular between the parts 14, prevents, with a locking finger 25 which also engages in the toothing 19, a backward displacement of the pivotable cutting part 5 against the pivoting direction r, so that even when the movable handle part 3 is pivotally returned to a pivoting position spaced apart from the fixed handle part 2, the second cutting part 5 remains in the previously reached pivoting position.

[0066] Both the feed lever 22 and the locking lever 24 are actuated in the usual way by springs, in particular leg springs, such as the Leg spring 26 of the locking lever 24 is loaded into the engaged position with the toothing 19. The respective spring acts with one leg on the associated lever, while the other leg of the spring is preferably supported on the rigid tool body 7.

[0067] The feed displacement of the second cutting part 5 in the pivoting direction r takes place counter to the force of a return spring 27 acting on the second cutting part 5. Thus, as also shown, a leg spring can be provided in this context, which is supported with one leg on the rigid tool body 7 and acts with the other spring leg on the guide pin 20 counter to the pivoting direction r.

[0068] During the feed displacement of the second cutting part 5 in the pivoting direction r, the knife 16 in particular passes through at least a partial section, further in particular a free end 32 of the second cutting part 5, a first entry slot 31 resulting between the legs of the tool body 7 forming the first, fixed cutting part 4. This entry slot 31 can, as is also preferred, be provided due to the spaced-apart course of the parts 14 as a whole (see, for example, Fig. 11).

[0069] Further preferably, the movable cutting part 25, including the free end 32 of the second cutting part 5, does not extend outward beyond the outer edge contour of the fixed cutting part 4, as viewed in the direction of the pivot axis x, during the feed displacement and entry or passage through the entry slot 31. Rather, the free end 32 in particular is covered on both sides in the entry slot 31 by the leg sections of the parts 14 forming the fixed cutting part 4.

[0070] The locking lever 24 can have an outwardly accessible handle 28 facing away from the locking finger 25, via which the locking lever 24 can be pivoted such that its locking finger 25 loses engagement with the toothing 19. The second cutting part 5 can then pivot back from the advanced position, acting via the return spring 27, into the basic position according to, for example, Figure 3, with the feed finger 34 ratcheting overrun.

[0071] In addition, the pivotable handle part 3 can be provided with a locking lever 29 which, in a locking position, can cooperate in a locking manner with a locking edge 30 of the tool body 7.

[0072] The receiving part 6 is pivotably mounted on the free end 33 of the fixed cutting part 4 facing away from the handle parts 2 and 3. The corresponding pivot axis z preferably extends spatially parallel to the geometric pivot axes x and y of the joint 10 or the movable handle part 3, respectively. Furthermore, the geometric pivot axes of the previously described feed lever 22, as well as the locking lever 24 and optionally also the locking lever 29, can also preferably extend spatially parallel to the previously described geometric pivot axes.

[0073] The receiving part 6 is pivotable between a pivoted receiving position, as shown, for example, in Figures 1 to 3 or also in Figures 13 and 28, and a holding position of a cutting material 39, for example in the form of a plastic tube, for carrying out a cutting process. Such a holding position is shown, for example, in Figures 5 and 30. Both the receiving position Both the holding position of the receiving part 6 and the holding position of the receiving part 6 can, as is also preferred, be defined by a stop-limited pivotability of the receiving part. The pivot angle of the receiving part 6 from the receiving position to the holding position can be approximately 60° to 70°.

[0074] The respective stop limit is illustrated in Figures 25 to 27 using the second embodiment. However, it can also be used in the described first embodiment.

[0075] Thus, the receiving part 6 can have a free stop shoulder 70 associated with an underside of the first insertion leg 41, which, in the receiving position of the receiving part 6 according to Figure 25, is supported in a stop-limited manner on an associated edge surface 73 of the free end 33 of the first cutting part 4.

[0076] In the pivoted-in holding position, a stop limit for the receiving part 6 can be provided by placing the receiving part 6 on the facing edge contour of the cutting mouth M. In particular, a surface 71 can be provided by a U-leg and a U-web which form the contact surfaces 45 and / or 46 on the inside, which can come into contact with the facing receiving boundary surface 72 (see Figures 26 and 27).

[0077] In the case of the design by only the receiving leg and the receiving part leg, only the receiving part leg can come into contact with the corresponding receiving boundary surface 72 of the cutting mouth M.

[0078] Viewed perpendicular to the cutting plane E, an overall substantially U-shaped design of the receiving contour 49 of the receiving part 6 can result, with two U-legs, a first U-leg 34 and a second U-leg 35, as well as a U-web 36 connecting the U-legs. The U-legs 34 and 35 as well as the U-web 36 delimit with their contact surfaces 44, 45 and 46 a receiving space 37 with a receiving opening 38, which in the pivoted-out receiving position is substantially aligned in the same direction as the cutting receiving opening 12 of the cutting mouth M, so that a material 39 to be cut that is to be introduced into the receiving part 6 simultaneously passes through the cutting receiving opening 12 and the receiving opening 38.

[0079] Such a U-shaped design of the receiving part 6 is shown in the two embodiments of the cutting tool 1 according to Figures 1 to 27.

[0080] In Figures 28 to 30, however, an embodiment is shown in which the receiving part 6 has, particularly in the region of the resulting receiving contour 49, essentially an L-shaped design, with a U-leg 34 which, as explained in more detail below, forms an insertion leg 41, and a U-web 36 which, as also explained in more detail below, forms a contact leg 42.

[0081] The receiving part 6 can, furthermore, also preferably, be formed as a plastic part, in particular a plastic injection-molded part. A one-piece and preferably uniform material design of the receiving part 6 is also preferred. The articulation of the receiving part 6 to the fixed cutting part 4 is preferably provided in the region of a transition between the first U-leg 34 and the U-web 36.

[0082] Assigned to the cutting plane E, a second insertion slot 40 is formed in the receiving part 26 for the second, pivotable cutting part 5, in particular for its knife 16 (cf. Figs. 11 and 12).

[0083] The first U-leg 34 preferably forms a first insertion leg 41, and the U-web 36 forms a contact leg 42 extending approximately at right angles thereto. The further U-leg 35 can further form a second insertion leg 43.

[0084] In a view perpendicular to the cutting plane E, straight and flat contact surfaces 44 to 46 are obtained both in the areas of the insertion legs 41 and 43 (or in the case of an L-shaped design of the receiving part 6 only in the area of ​​the insertion leg 41) and in the area of ​​the contact leg 42. The contact surfaces 44 and 45 of the first insertion leg 41 and the contact leg 42 can, according to the schematic representation in Figure 10, enclose an acute angle α of approximately 75° to 85°, more particularly approximately 80°, with one another, while (in the case of a U-shaped design of the receiving part 6), an obtuse angle β of approximately 100° to 110°, more particularly approximately 105°, can be established between the contact surfaces 45 and 46 of the contact leg 42 and the second insertion leg 43.

[0085] Starting from an intersection point S1 and S2 of the imaginary extensions of the contact surfaces 44 and 45 or 45 and 46 along the contact surfaces 44 and 46 respectively up to an opening plane O running perpendicular to the cutting plane E and touching the free ends 47 and 48 of the insertion legs 41 and 43 (cf. Fig. 10), different lengths a and b of the insertion legs 41 and 43 result. Thus, as is also preferred, with regard to the first insertion leg 41, a respective length a can be given which corresponds approximately to 1.5 to 2.5 times, further approximately can correspond to twice the corresponding length b of the second insertion leg 43. The length c of the insertion leg 42 resulting from the extension of the contact surface 45 of the contact leg 42 up to the intersection points S1 and S2 can correspond to approximately 0.75 to 0.9 times, furthermore approximately 0.8 times the length a of the first insertion leg 41.

[0086] In a further embodiment, the transitions between the contact surfaces of the insertion legs and the contact surface of the contact leg are rounded. Thus, a radius RI can be provided between the contact surface 44 of the first insertion leg 41 and the contact surface 45 of the contact leg 42, which can correspond to approximately 2.5 to 3.5 times, furthermore approximately 3 times, the radius R2 between the contact surface 46 of the second insertion leg 43 and the contact surface 45 of the contact leg 42. Furthermore, the radius RI between the contact surface 44 of the first insertion leg 41 and the contact surface 45 of the contact leg 42 can correspond to approximately 0.35 to 0.6 times, furthermore approximately 0.5 times the length a of the first insertion leg 41.

[0087] With the aid of the receiving part 6, cutting material 39 with different transverse dimensions, in particular pipe diameters, can be moved into the cutting position. Figures 2 to 5 and 10 show three possible different cutting material diameters by way of example. With the largest cutting material diameter shown, it can be in contact with both the first insertion leg 41 and the contact leg 42 as well as the second insertion leg 43 (see also Fig. 6), whereas with a cutting material 39 with a reduced diameter, it may only be in contact with the contact leg 42 and the second insertion leg 43, and furthermore, only in the area of ​​the area between the contact leg leg! 42 and the second insertion leg 43 resulting radius section with the radius R2 (cf. Fig. 7 and 8).

[0088] In the case of a substantially E-shaped design of the receiving part 6, as shown in Figures 28 to 30, in the holding position, when the material 39 to be cut is supported on the contact leg 42, the material 39 to be cut can also bear against a shoulder 74 which, in the holding position, runs substantially transversely to the contact surface 44 of the contact leg 42, is formed by the tool body 7 and extends the cutting mouth M in the direction of the handle part-delimiting shoulder.

[0089] Also, as shown in the illustrations of Figures 13 to 27 relating to the second exemplary embodiment and explained in more detail below, the first insertion leg 41 can be displaceable relative to the second insertion leg 43 in order to adapt the distance between the insertion legs to the transverse dimension, in particular the diameter of the material 39 to be cut.

[0090] The receiving part 6, together with the inserted material 39 to be cut, is moved about the pivot axis z into the holding position, for example, as shown in Figure 5. In the holding position, a substantial enclosure of the material 39 to be cut can be achieved, with the first insertion leg 41 essentially closing the cutting mouth M in the direction of the cutting receiving opening 12 before the start of a cutting process. Accordingly, a secure reception of the material 39 to be cut in the cutting mouth M results.

[0091] In the pivoted-in holding position of the receiving part 6, this preferably rests against the fixed cutting part 4 or the legs 13 of the parts 14 in a stop-limited manner, thereby essentially covering lent with the contact surface 45 of the contact leg 42, and furthermore possibly also with the radius sections of the contact surfaces having the radii RI and R2, the facing edge surfaces of the legs 13. In particular, the second insertion leg 43 forms a support for the cutting material 39 during the cutting process together with the contact leg 42, wherein a force P of the second cutting part 5 acting on the cutting material 39 via the movable cutting part 5 or the knife 16 tends to load the receiving part 7 together with the cutting material 39 further into the pivoted-in position (cf. Fig. 10).

[0092] The receiving contour 49 of the receiving part 6 is not penetrated by an outermost edge of the first cutting part 4 or the legs 13 in any pivoted position of the receiving part 6. The receiving space 37 receiving the material 39 to be cut and the cutting mouth M resulting in the region of the receiving space 37 are accordingly limited solely by the contact surfaces of the receiving part 6 in every pivoted position of the receiving part 6.

[0093] In order to be able to adapt, in particular, the first insertion leg 41 to the transverse dimension, in particular the diameter of the material 39 to be cut, the receiving part 6 can firstly have a fixed part 50 that essentially reproduces the U-shaped receiving contour 49 and, as described above, is pivotally connected about the axis y to the free end 33 of the fixed cutting part 44. Essentially, the fixed part 50 forms the second insertion leg 43 as well as regions of the contact leg 42 and the first insertion leg 41 (see Fig. 22).

[0094] In addition, the receiving part 6 of the second embodiment has a slide part 51 on both sides of the second insertion slot 40. These slide parts 51 are preferably designed and arranged substantially symmetrically to the cutting plane E, and have, substantially with respect to a view perpendicular to the cutting plane E, a contact partial leg 53 and an insertion partial leg 52, the contact surface partial sections 54 and 55 of which are connected to one another via a rounding with the radius RI.

[0095] The slide parts 51 are received in window-like cutouts 56 of the fixed part 50 provided on both sides of the cutting plane E. These cutouts 56 are dimensioned such that the slide parts 51, with their contact legs 54 and 55, preferably merge at the same level into the adjacent contact surfaces 44 and 45 of the fixed part 50 in a stop-limited basic position as shown in Figure 19. The extension length of the cutout 56 in the region of the contact leg 42 of the fixed part 50, viewed in the direction of displacement t of the slide parts 51, is selected in comparison to the extension length of the contact leg section 53 of the slide part 51, viewed in the same direction, such that a linear displacement of the slide part 51 along the fixed-part-side contact leg 42 can be achieved over a length d (see Figure 19).

[0096] Extending beneath the support leg 53 is a web 57 with a slotted opening 58, which further penetrates the cutout 56 and through which a plate-shaped plug-in part 59 can be inserted. This plug-in part 59 underpins a shoulder 60 of the fixed part 50 extending in the direction of displacement t, whereby the slide part 51 is attached to the fixed part 50 in a captive but slidingly displaceable manner in the direction of displacement t.

[0097] The slide parts 51 are further preferably only displaceable as a pair. For this purpose, the slide parts 51 can be connected to one another via a substantially U-shaped connecting bracket 61. Its U-legs 62 are pivotally connected to the slide parts 51 in the region of their free ends facing away from the U-web 63 in the region of webs 64 provided rearward of the insertion part legs 52. As can be seen from the illustration in Figure 22, withdrawal-protected pins 65 can be provided for this purpose, which penetrate the end regions of the U-legs 62 as well as the webs 64 of the slide parts 51 in the region of correspondingly positioned bores. This results in a geometric pivot axis u, which preferably runs spatially parallel to the pivot axis y of the receiving part 6 as a whole.

[0098] The connecting bracket 61 also protrudes outward through the cutouts 56 in accordance with the previously described arrangement. In the area of ​​the U-legs 62, locking receptacles 66 are formed through open-edged recesses. In the illustrated embodiment, two such locking receptacles 66 are provided on each U-leg 62, which are designed for locking interaction with a pin-shaped locking section 67 of the fixed part 50.

[0099] As shown particularly in the illustrations in Figures 19 to 21, a total of at least three offset positions of the slide parts 51 and thus of the effective section of the first insertion leg 41 can result, such as a basic position according to Figure 19, in which the slide parts 51, with a surface 68 formed on the rear side of the insertion part leg 52, abuts against a counter surface 69 of the fixed part 50 that delimits the cutout 56. Figure 20 shows a first latching position in which a first latching receptacle 66 of the connecting bracket 61 is brought into a latching connection position to the latching section 67. The slide parts 51 are offset along the contact leg 42 in the displacement direction t. This results in a distance dimension e' between the mutually facing contact surfaces 44 or 54 and 46 of the second insertion leg 43, which is correspondingly smaller in order to receive a cutting material 39 with a smaller diameter than the cutting material 39 in Figure 20 than the relevant distance dimension e in the basic position for receiving a cutting material 39 with a larger diameter according to Figure 19. Figure 21 again shows an alignment of the carriage parts 51 for receiving a cutting material 39 with a further reduced diameter compared to Figure 19. The distance dimension e" is correspondingly further reduced due to corresponding displacement of the carriage parts 51, in which displacement position a locking of the connecting bracket 61 in the region of the second locking receptacle 66 with the locking section 67 can be achieved.

[0100] Figures 31 to 41 show a further embodiment of a cutting tool 1 with an adjustable receiving part 6, which can be adapted, for example, to the diameter of the material 39 to be cut.

[0101] According to the previously described embodiment, here too, a slide part 51 is held on a fixed part 50 of the receiving part 6, which essentially reproduces the U-shaped receiving contour 49, on both sides of the second insertion slot 40 and preferably arranged symmetrically to the cutting plane E, which slide part is guided linearly in a window-like cutout 56 in the region of the contact leg 42 of the fixed part 50.

[0102] Each slide part 51 forms, according to the embodiment shown in Figures 13 to 27, an insertion part leg 52 and a contact part leg 53, wherein due to the linear displaceability of the mutually coupled slide parts 51, an adjustment of the distance dimension e between the insertion part leg 52, which essentially forms the first insertion leg 41, and the second insertion leg 43, which is rigid with respect to the slide part 51, of the receiving part 6 or the facing shoulder 74 of the tool body 7 in the pivoted-in holding position of the receiving part 6 - when the receiving part 6 is designed with only one insertion leg - can be adapted, for example, to the diameter of the material 39 to be cut.

[0103] Each slide part 51, as also explained with reference to the previously described embodiment, can be mounted on the fixed part 50 in a slidingly displaceable manner via a plate-shaped plug-in part 59. The plug-in part 59 passes through a slotted opening 58 formed in a web 57 formed on the underside of the contact part leg 53 and underpins a shoulder 60 of the fixed part 50, in which fixed part 50 the plug-in part 59 is guided in a slotted recess 80 extending in the direction of displacement t.

[0104] The underside of each plug-in part 59 facing away from the receiving space 37 is provided with a toothing 75. The tooth lines on the base and top of this preferably straight toothing 75 are directed perpendicular to the cutting plane E and transverse to the displacement direction t of the insertion part leg 52.

[0105] The toothing is designed for positive engagement with a correspondingly shaped counter-toothing 76, which is formed on a component of the cutting tool 1 that is rigid with respect to the slide part 51. As a result of such a positive engagement, a displacement position of the slide part 51 can be fixed.

[0106] According to the illustrated embodiment, such a counter-toothing 76 is preferably formed on a peripheral edge of the fixed cutting part 4 of the tool body 7 facing the receiving part 6 in the pivoted-in holding position. Accordingly, in this embodiment form the fixing position of the carriage part 51 can only be taken after the receiving part 6 has been pivoted into this holding position and thus only in the position in which a cutting process is carried out.

[0107] In this embodiment, the position of the slide part 51 is preferably not secured before the pivoting process is completed.

[0108] In a manner convenient for handling, each slide part 51 is loaded into a position of contact with a cutting material 39 to be received in the receiving part 6. As a result, in particular, each insertion part leg 52 of the slide parts 51 is forced into a position of contact with the cutting material 39.

[0109] This results in a corresponding loading of the slide parts 51 in the direction of a basic position in which the receiving part 6 has a smallest possible extension dimension e" viewed in the displacement direction t of the insertion part leg 52.

[0110] This basic position is preferably limited by a stop. For example, this can be achieved by the plug-in part 59 abutting a stop shoulder 77 formed at the end of the slotted recess 80 in the direction of displacement t (see Figure 41).

[0111] The above-described loading of the slide parts 51 toward the home position is preferably achieved by arranging a spring 78, in particular a tension spring. One end of the spring 78 engages the associated slide part 51. The other end of the spring is anchored to a portion of the fixed part 50 of the receiving part 6, which is rigid relative to the slide part 51. Thus, the spring load on each slide part 51 is maintained in every pivoting position of the receiving part 6.

[0112] A material 39 to be cut is inserted into the receiving space 37 of the receiving part 6 in the pivoted-out receiving position, this depending on the cross-sectional extent of the material 39 to be cut, if necessary by sliding displacement of the insertion part legs 52 of the slide parts 51 from the basic position against the restoring force of the springs 78.

[0113] Figures 39, 40, and 41 show the reception of a cutting material 39 with different cross-sectional dimensions (diameters) and the resulting insertion leg positions. According to the embodiment described above, the distance dimensions e (for the greatest possible distance as shown in Figure 40), e' (for an exemplary average distance as shown in Figure 39), and e" (for the smallest possible distance as shown in Figure 41) result between the contact surface section 54 of the insertion leg 52 and the contact surface of the second insertion leg 43, which is rigid for this purpose.

[0114] Preferably, the displacement of each slide part 51 is also limited in the direction of the greatest spacing from the second insertion leg 43, for example, as also shown in Figure 40, by a stop shoulder 79 formed opposite the stop shoulder 77 in the displacement direction t in the region of the slot recess 80.

[0115] The cutting material 39, which is clamped between the insertion part leg 52 and the second insertion leg 43 due to the spring force and is supported on the contact leg 42, is pivoted into the holding position by means of the receiving part 6, whereby upon reaching the holding position, a positive locking of the displacement position of the insertion part leg 52 is automatically achieved due to the positive engagement of the toothing 75 on the receiving part side in the counter toothing 76 of the tool body 7. The forces acting on the insertion part limbs 52 via the knife 16 during a cutting process are transferred via the positive connection between Toothing 75 and counter-toothing 76 are derived into the tool body 7.

[0116] Building on the fourth exemplary embodiment described above, Figures 42 to 52 show an embodiment in which the receiving part 6, with essentially the same structure, is not pivotally connected to the free end 33 of the associated cutting part 4, but rather is arranged so as to be linearly displaceable.

[0117] This results, for example, as is also preferred, in a displacement direction s of the receiving part 6 overall in the direction of a longitudinal extension L of the cutting part 4. Furthermore, as is also preferred, this displacement direction s can be directed in the same direction as the displacement direction t of the carriage part 51 relative to the fixed part 50.

[0118] For this purpose, for example, as shown, rib-like linear guides 81 provided laterally on the cutting part 4 can engage in correspondingly designed longitudinal grooves 82 on the fixed part 50 (cf. Figures 51 and 52), wherein a stop limit of the sliding displaceability is preferably provided in both displacement directions s.

[0119] Thus, the receiving part 6 can be moved into the receiving position for loading with a cutting material 39 by sliding it into a protruding position according to Figure 42. To carry out the cutting process, the cutting material 39 is also pushed back together with the receiving part 6 into the (stop-limited) holding position according to Figure 43. In accordance with the fourth embodiment, an adjustment of the receiving part 39 is also possible in the fifth embodiment via the slide parts 51. Opening area to the cross-sectional area or the diameter of the material to be cut 39.

[0120] The holding position assumed by the receiving-part-side slide parts 51 due to spring loading (for example, via a tension spring 86 according to Figure 42) is also secured in this embodiment in a manner comparable to that of the previously described embodiment. The teeth 75 provided on the underside of the plug-in parts 59 engage with a counter-teeth 76 of the cutting part 4 in a locking manner. The locking can already be achieved in the receiving position, but alternatively, as shown, can only be achieved during the slide's return displacement of the receiving part 6 toward the holding position.

[0121] For this purpose, with reference to a side view, for example according to Figure 51, compared to the previously described version, the counter-toothing 76, as well as the edge of the cutting part 4 facing the receiving space 37, is designed to run in a straight line starting from the shoulder 74 of the tool body 7, thereby substantially aligned in the displacement direction s of the receiving part 6.

[0122] During the sliding displacement of the receiving part 6 toward the holding position, a ratchet-like overrun of the toothing 75 and the counter-toothing 76 can occur. This can be achieved by a corresponding angular position of the interacting teeth in the sliding-return displacement direction, while in the opposite direction, i.e., in the direction of the receiving position displaced forward relative to the receiving space 37, such a ratchet-like overrun can be prevented by the selected tooth flank alignment.

[0123] The ratchet-like overrun in one sliding direction is also achieved by an evasive displacement of one of the gear components.

[0124] Due to the tooth engagement which cannot be overrun in the direction of the receiving position, the carriage position is also secured during the cutting process.

[0125] According to the fourth embodiment, the toothing 75 can be formed on a plug-in part 59 held in the respective slide part 51. This plug-in part 59 is accommodated in the web 57 of the associated slide part 51 so as to be displaceable in a direction perpendicular to the displacement direction s. The plug-in part 59 is resiliently loaded toward the positive locking position with the counter-toothing 76. For this purpose, a spring 83, for example in the form of a leaf spring, can be provided, which is supported on the underside of the contact leg 53 of the slide part 51 associated with the plug-in part 59 and acts on the plug-in part 59 (see Figures 45 to 47).

[0126] In order to be able to return the receiving part 6 or each slide part 51 to its forward starting position, the positive engagement of the toothing 75 and the counter-toothing 76 must be released. For the purpose of this release, which can be brought about by the user, a handle 84 can be provided, which is held in the fixed part 50 of the receiving part 6 so as to be movable essentially perpendicular to the displacement direction s. The handle 84 can have two handling legs 85, via the free end of which the plug-in parts 59 can be acted upon in order to raise the plug-in parts 59 against the restoring force of the springs 83. As a result of such an action, the positive engagement can be released (see Figures 48 to 50).

[0127] Furthermore, the receiving part 6 of the fourth or fifth embodiment can also be fixedly mounted on the cutting part 6, so that in this respect there is no relative mobility of the receiving part 6, in particular of the fixed part 50, with respect to the cutting part 6. In this case, a material 39 to be cut can be pushed laterally into the receiving space, for example. Adjustment of the receiving part opening area can be achieved by sliding displacement of the carriage parts 51, the assumed contact position of which on the material 39 to be cut is secured, as described above, by the interaction of the toothings 75 on the receiving part side with the counter toothings 76 on the cutting part side. The removal of the toothing engagement to reset the carriage parts 51 can be done manually, according to the fifth embodiment (reboundable counter toothing with handle).
