Definitions

  • This invention relates in general to the field of carpet and other floor covering cutting and seaming.
  • This invention includes systems and methods for an ultrasonic floor covering cutting and seaming device including a body having an ultrasonic knife blade attached thereto and a foot assembly adjustably affixed to the body.
  • the foot assembly further includes a collar affixed to the foot assembly and an upright plate affixed to the collar.
  • a mounting bracket rotatably affixes to the upright plate such that the ultrasonic cutting and seaming device provides for angular cuts of the floor coverings.
  • the mounting bracket tilts the ultrasonic cutting and seaming device and blade in the direction of the cut and permits it also to be tilted to either side to make an angled cut (or a vertical, "square” cut if desired).
  • an ultrasonic trim knife model no. 159-085053 available from Branson Ultrasonics Co ⁇ oration of Danbury, Connecticut, United States of America, provides for successful cutting and seaming of such woven- face floor covering.
  • Utilizing the ultrasonic cutting and seaming device of this invention for cutting rolled goods floor covering provides for a precision cut, an adjustable guide for making a straight cut and adjustment of angles and heights. Cutting on an angle provides for more surface area of the flooring to seal together. This provides a tighter seal which functions as a moisture barrier so that moisture cannot get under the seal and cause deterioration of the floor covering. Slight relative movement of adjacent pieces of floor covering cut at an angle also will be less noticeable.
  • Objects of this invention include:
  • Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a foot assembly attached to an ultrasonic cutting and seaming device of this invention.
  • Fig. 2 shows a cross-sectional view of a seam cut made by the ultrasonic cutting and seaming device of Fig. 1.
  • Fig. 3 shows an exploded perspective view of the foot assembly of Fig. 1 (without the height micro-adjustment mechanism).
  • Fig. 4 shows a side view of an alternative embodiment of an ultrasonic cutting and seaming device of this invention.
  • Fig. 5 shows a rear view of the ultrasonic cutting and seaming device of Fig.
  • Fig. 1 shows a perspective view of a foot assembly attached to an ultrasonic device 2 of this invention.
  • the device 2 includes a foot assembly 10, and an ultrasonic knife body 11 having a ultrasonic knife blade 12 attached thereto.
  • This knife blade 12 used together with a foot assembly 10 as depicted in Fig. 1 provides for a precise cut of roll goods floor covering 14.
  • the foot assembly 10 uses collar 16 attached to an upright plate 18.
  • the upright plate 18 is attached to the mounting bracket 20 in a manner such that the device 2 provides for square or angular cuts of the floor covering 14.
  • the graph 22 illustrates a range of motion achievable by the device 2 when providing angle cuts.
  • the mounting bracket 20 includes two feet 24 that straddle an open space 26 through which the ultrasonic knife blade 12 protrudes. Depth of cut can be adjusted by sliding the ultrasonic knife body 11 within collar 16. Fine adjustments in body 11 position within collar 16 may be made utilizing a micro adjustment mechanism provided, for instance, by rotating a knob 28 having a threaded shaft 30 that threads through the collar 16 and attaches to a stop plate 32 attached to the body 11. The depth of the cut must be carefully adjusted and controlled to fully penetrate the floor covering 14 while avoiding contact between the knife blade 12 and floor, which can destroy the blade.
  • the foot 24 of the device 2 is drawn along a straight edge 34 to achieve a straight cut 38.
  • Fig. 2 shows a cross-sectional view of a seam cut 39 made by the ultrasonic device 2 of Fig. 1 set as illustrated in Fig. 1 to cut on an angle.
  • a vertical cut of the floor covering 14 would achieve a cut thickness Tl .
  • an angular cut achieves a thickness T2.
  • Thickness T2 is greater than thickness Tl.
  • FIG. 3 shows an exploded perspective view of the foot assembly 10 of Fig. 1.
  • the foot assembly 10 includes the collar 16 attached to the upright plate 18 that is attached to the mounting bracket 20 by two set screws 40, 42.
  • the mounting bracket 20 includes slots 44, 46 for receiving and rotatably affixing the upright plate 18 to the mounting bracket 20 using the set screws 40, 42. Adjusting the set screws 40, 42, provides for rotating and securing the mounting bracket 20 to different angles. Screws 48, 50 affix the collar 16 to the body 11 and provide for attachment to bodies 11 having different diameters.
  • FIG 4 shows an alternative embodiment of an ultrasonic seaming and cutting device of this invention.
  • an ultrasonic trim knife blade 59 works with a positioning clamp 60.
  • the positioning clamp 60 uses an L-shaped member 62 having an upright plate 64 attached to two feet 66 that straddle an open space 68 through which the ultrasonic knife blade 59 protrudes.
  • the ultrasonic knife body 71 is grasped by a clamping ring 72 that provides height adjustment and pivots on a pivot rod 74 that forms a hinge attachment to a leg 76 that lies against and attaches to upright plate 64.
  • this arrangement allows the inclination of the ultrasonic knife body 71 (indicated by arrow 82) to be adjusted by tilting the clamping ring 72.
  • the tilt of the entire ultrasonic knife body 71 (indicated by arrow 84) may be adjusted by pivoting leg 76 about pivot point 88 (shown in Figure 5).
  • Floor covering seaming utilizing the ultrasonic knife 12 in a foot assembly 10 may be accomplished by: 1) Dry lay floor covering with overlap, ensuring that roll to roll matching is consistent. 2) Cut-in along walls and around obstructions.
  • Double-cut seams Use the ultrasonic knife 12 for this task.
  • the floor covering may be R.R.R. Protector 5000 or R.R.R. NexStep Adhesive or other suitable adhesive; and the seam sealer may be R.R.R. Seam Sealer, or other suitable seam sealer. All R.R.R. products are available from Rockland React-Rite, Inc., 327 Industrial Dr., Rockmart, Georgia, United States of America, 30153-3520.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif qui permet de couper et de sertir (2) le revêtement de sol par ultrasons. Ce dispositif présente un corps qui comporte un couteau à rogner par ultrasons (12) et un ensemble pied (10). Ledit ensemble comprend un collier (16) et un support de montage fixé réglable au dispositif. Le support de montage incline le dispositif et la lame dans la direction de la coupure, permettant aussi une inclinaison de chaque côté de manière à réaliser une variété de coupures (par exemple, formées selon un angle, verticales ou 'carrées').
