Abstract

A cutting trolley having a frame structure and at least two rear wheels on a rear shaft and at least one front wheel, for a cutter of the type that includes a front handle, a rear handle, and a circular cutting blade in the front end of the cutter. The trolley also includes a cutter carrier having a front attachment device and a rear attachment device for the attachment of a cutter on the carrier via a front handle and a rear handle of the cutter, respectively, for trolley carried operation of a cutter. The cutting trolley has an adjustment means, as part of a displacement device, that can adjust the position of the cutter carrier and hence the cutter and the cutting blade for alignment control and/or curve cutting adjustment, such that the adjustment is possible without interrupting the cutting operation.

Claims (40)

1. A cutting trolley with a frame structure comprising:

at least two rear wheels on at least one rear shaft;

at least one front wheel;

a cutter carrier, said cutter carrier including a front attachment device and a rear attachment device for the attachment of a cutter on the carrier via a front handle and a rear handle of the cutter;

said frame structure including

a first lower, elongated link, wherein said at least one front wheel being mounted in a front end of said first link;

a second rear link which is rotationally connected to a rear end of said first link, said second link extending from said lower end up to a control device for adjusting the sawing depth of the cutting blade, wherein said control device being positioned at a higher level than the cutter carrier; and

a linkage system wherein said control device defines a first lever of the linkage system; said first lower, elongated link includes a second lever of the linkage system; said second link defines a push-pull rod connecting a pivot of the first lever to the rear end of the second lever; said cutter carrier defines a third lever, said third lever having a lower front section and a rear upper section; said lower front section is rotationally connected to said second lever via a pivot located between said front wheel and said rear end of said second lever, and the upper end of said upper section of said third lever is connected to a sleeve/shaft, the center of which defines the axis of rotation of said first lever defined by the control device.

2. The cutting trolley of claim 1 , wherein said control device is provided with a handle located adjacent to a handle for moving the trolley.

3. The cutting trolley of claim 1 , wherein the axis of rotation of the rear wheels define the turning axis of the cutting carrier, which defines said third lever.

4. The cutting trolley of claim 1 , wherein a bearing housing for journaling a wheel shaft of the rear wheels is provided on the cutter carrier in the region of a bend of said third lever, defined by the cutter carrier.

5. The cutting trolley of claim 1 , wherein said first link of the frame structure is approximately horizontal, said second link of the frame structure is approximately horizontal, and the front lower section and the rear upper section of the cutter carrier are approximately parallel with said first link and said second link, respectively in at least one position of the cutter carrier.

6. The cutting trolley of claim 5 , wherein the at least one position is an upraised position.

7. The cutting trolley of claim 1 , wherein said first link of the frame structure forms a small angle with the horizontal, said second link of the frame structure forms a small angle with the vertical, and the front lower section and the rear upper section of the cutter carrier are approximately parallel with said first link and said second link, respectively in at least one position of the cutter carrier.

8. The cutting trolley of claim 7 , wherein the at least one position is an upraised position.

9. The cutting trolley of claim 1 , wherein the wheel shaft is steerable.

10. A cutting trolley with a frame structure comprising:

at least two rear wheels on at least one rear shaft;

at least one front wheel;

a cutter carrier, said cutter carrier including a front attachment device and a rear attachment device for the attachment of a cutter on the carrier via a front handle and a rear handle of the cutter;

said frame structure including

a first lower, elongated link, wherein said at least one front wheel being mounted in a front end of said first link;

a second rear link which is rotationally connected to a rear end of said first link, said second link extending from said lower end up to a control device for adjusting the sawing depth of the cutting blade, wherein said control device being positioned at a higher level than the cutter carrier;

a bearing housing for journaling a wheel shaft of the rear wheels is provided on the cutter carrier in the region of a bend of said third lever, defined by the cutter carrier.

11. A cutting trolley with a frame structure comprising:

at least two rear wheels on at least one rear shaft;

at least one front wheel;

a cutter carrier, said cutter carrier including a front attachment device and a rear attachment device for the attachment of a cutter on the carrier via a front handle and a rear handle of the cutter;

said frame structure including

a first lower, elongated link, wherein said at least one front wheel being mounted in a front end of said first link;

a second rear link which is rotationally connected to a rear end of said first link, said second link extending from said lower end up to a control device for adjusting the sawing depth of the cutting blade, wherein said control device being positioned at a higher level than the cutter carrier;

said first link of the frame structure is approximately horizontal, said second link of the frame structure is approximately horizontal, and the front lower section and the rear upper section of the cutter carrier are approximately parallel with said first link and said second link, respectively in at least one position of the cutter carrier.

12. A cutting trolley with a frame structure comprising:

at least two rear wheels on at least one rear shaft;

at least one front wheel;

a cutter carrier, said cutter carrier including a front attachment device and a rear attachment device for the attachment of a cutter on the carrier via a front handle and a rear handle of the cutter;

said frame structure including

a first lower, elongated link, wherein said at least one front wheel being mounted in a front end of said first link;

a second rear link which is rotationally connected to a rear end of said first link, said second link extending from said lower end up to a control device for adjusting the sawing depth of the cutting blade, wherein said control device being positioned at a higher level than the cutter carrier;

said first link of the frame structure forms a small angle with the horizontal, said second link of the frame structure forms a small angle with the vertical, and the front lower section and the rear upper section of the cutter carrier are approximately parallel with said first link and said second link, respectively in at least one position of the cutter carrier.
