Device for inserting a tongue
A device for inserting a tongue into an insertion groove in a panel including a first part including a supporting surface configured to cooperate with an upper surface of a panel. The device includes a second part, which is connected to the first part, including a guiding device for a displaceable puncher which is configured to displace a tongue into an insertion groove of a panel. The supporting surface is extending in a first direction and the guiding device is extending in second direction.
1. A device for inserting a tongue into an insertion groove in a panel,
wherein the device comprises a first part comprising a supporting surface configured to directly cooperate with an upper surface of a panel, such that the supporting surface is positioned relative the upper surface of the panel,
wherein the device comprises a second part, which is connected to the first part,
wherein the second part comprises a displaceable puncher and a guiding device which is configured to guide the displaceable puncher, and
wherein the displaceable puncher is configured to displace a tongue into an insertion groove of the panel, through an opening in the supporting surface, wherein the supporting surface is extending in a first direction and the guiding device is extending in a second direction, the first direction and the second direction forming a nonzero first angle.
2. The device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the device comprises a handle and is configured to be handheld.
3. The device as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the handle comprises a trigger for activating a stroke of the displaceable puncher.
4. The device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the device comprises an attachment device and is configured to be attached to a holding fixture or an assembling table.
5. The device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the displaceable puncher is displaceable in the second direction.
6. The device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first angle is in the range of about 10° to about 90°.
7. The device as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the device comprises a first adjusting device for setting the first angle.
8. The device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the second part comprises a structural part, wherein the guiding device is attached to the structural part, wherein the second part comprises a second adjusting device for setting a position of the guiding device relative the structural part in the second direction.
9. The device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first part comprises a positioning element for positioning the first part relative the insertion groove in the first direction.
10. The device as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the first part comprises a third adjusting device for setting a position of the positioning element relative the first part in the first direction.
11. The device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the second part comprises a magazine for two or more of said tongue.
12. The device as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the magazine is configured for storing a second of said tongue above a first said tongue, wherein the magazine is extending essentially perpendicular to the second direction.
13. The device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the second part comprises a power unit for driving the puncher during a punch for the insertion of the tongue in the insertion groove.
14. The device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the insertion groove is of an elongated shape and is configured to extend with a length direction along the upper surface of the panel when the panel is arranged such that the supporting surface of the first part directly cooperates with the upper surface of the panel.
15. The device as claimed in claim 14 , wherein the tongue is of an elongated shape and is configured such that a length direction of the tongue is parallel with the length direction of the insertion groove when the panel is arranged such that the supporting surface of the first part directly cooperates with the upper surface of the panel.
16. The device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the tongue is of an elongated shape and is configured such that a length direction of the tongue is perpendicular to a displacement direction of the displaceable puncher when the panel is arranged such that the supporting surface of the first part directly cooperates with the upper surface of the panel.
17. A set comprising:
the device as claimed in claim 1 ; and
the panel.
18. A device for inserting a tongue into an insertion groove in a panel,
wherein the device comprises a first part comprising a supporting surface configured to directly cooperate with an upper surface of a panel, such that the supporting surface is positioned relative the upper surface of the panel,
wherein the device comprises a second part, which is connected to the first part,
wherein the second part comprises a displaceable puncher and a guiding device which is configured to guide the displaceable puncher, and
wherein the displaceable puncher is configured to displace a tongue into an insertion groove of the panel, wherein a guiding surface of the guiding device intersects a plane of the supporting surface, wherein the supporting surface is extending in a first direction and the guiding device is extending in a second direction, the first direction and the second direction forming a nonzero first angle.
