Claim 1

Independent Claim 180 words

A mitre cuts-imparting machine comprising, in combination: at least two side supports spaced apart from each other; a beam mounted on and between elevated portions of said spaced side supports; reciprocatory table means having a panel-receivable upper face extending about between said side supports, with said upper face about parallel to said beam, and said table means being reciprocatory in directions about normal to said beam; a plurality of slide mechanisms adjustably mounted along said beam; rotary motor and mitre-cutting tool means mounted on each slide mechanism; elevation means for adjusting each of said motor and said tool means along its respective said slide mechanism toward and away from said upper face; a pair of parallel gearwheelreceiving racks bilaterally mounted parallel to reciprocatory movement of said reciprocatory directions; at least two gearwheels, one of said gearwheels engaging with and rideable on one of said racks and the other gearwheel engAging with and rideable on the other of said racks; a shaft extending between and operatively connected with said gearwheels; and shaft-support means for said shaft, mounted on said table means.

Claim 2

Dependent Claim 180 words

A mitre cuts-imparting machine comprising, in combination: at least two side supports spaced apart from each other; a beam mounted on and between elevated portions of said spaced side supports; reciprocatory table means having a panel-receivable upper face extending about between said side supports, with said upper face about parallel to said beam, and said table means being reciprocatory in directions about normal to said beam; a plurality of slide mechanisms adjustably mounted along said beam; rotary motor and mitre-cutting tool means mounted on each slide mechanism; elevation means for adjusting each of said motor and said tool means along its respective said slide mechanism toward and away from said upper face; a pair of parallel gearwheelreceiving racks bilaterally mounted parallel to reciprocatory movement of said reciprocatory directions; at least two gearwheels, one of said gearwheels engaging with and rideable on one of said racks and the other gearwheel engAging with and rideable on the other of said racks; a shaft extending between and operatively connected with said gearwheels; and shaft-support means for said shaft, mounted on said table means.

Claim 3

Dependent Claim 40 words

A machine according to claim 1 in which said elevation means includes manually actuateable screw means for moving said slide mechanisms along said beam; and including a lateral-adjustment manually actuateable screw means for moving said slide mechanisms along said beam.

Claim 4

Dependent Claim 154 words

A machine according to claim 1, further comprising: slide members, at least one of said slide members being mounted on at least one of said table means and one of said side supports adapted for sliding motion of said table means along said one side support in said reciprocatory directions, at least another of said slide members being mounted on at least one of said table means and the other of said side supports adapted for sliding motion of said table means along said other side support in said reciprocatory directions; sucker means mounted on said table means facing upwardly from said upper surface, adapted to secure by suction a panel in position thereon; double acting piston and cylinder means connected between said table means and at least one of said side supports, for imparting said reciprocatory movement; and supply means to supply pressurized fluid for and connected to said piston and cylinder means.

Claim 5

Dependent Claim 169 words

A machine for producing mitre cuts in panellike workpieces, more especially in panels which are provided with a cover layer at least on the side remote from the mitre cuts, and for producing furniture bodies, including two side supports interconnected by cross transverses and by a cross beam located in upper regions of said side supports and having sliding surfaces which slidably support at least two horizontally displaceable slides which are displaceable at right angles to the longitudinal direction of the mitre cuts to be produced; said horizontal slides each having a vertical slide mounted thereon, adjustable by means of a setting spindle, and supporting a mitre cutter with drive motor and a profile cutter rotatable about a horizontal axis for producing a V-shaped cut; and horizontally displaceable workpiece support means located with spacing below said mitre cutters for supporting the panels to be processed and containing a plurality of suction cups which act to hold the undersides of said panels to be mitre-cut against the support by suction.

Claim 6

Dependent Claim 169 words

A machine for producing mitre cuts in panellike workpieces, more especially in panels which are provided with a cover layer at least on the side remote from the mitre cuts, and for producing furniture bodies, including two side supports interconnected by cross transverses and by a cross beam located in upper regions of said side supports and having sliding surfaces which slidably support at least two horizontally displaceable slides which are displaceable at right angles to the longitudinal direction of the mitre cuts to be produced; said horizontal slides each having a vertical slide mounted thereon, adjustable by means of a setting spindle, and supporting a mitre cutter with drive motor and a profile cutter rotatable about a horizontal axis for producing a V-shaped cut; and horizontally displaceable workpiece support means located with spacing below said mitre cutters for supporting the panels to be processed and containing a plurality of suction cups which act to hold the undersides of said panels to be mitre-cut against the support by suction.

Claim 7

Dependent Claim 76 words

A machine according to claim 4, in which said supports carry at least two horizontally displaceable slides which are displaceable in the extension of width of said machine; and in which said workpiece support means is supported on guide means which is located on said side supports and connected to a pressure medium cylinder and on the underside of said workpiece support has a gearwheel which meshes with a racked bar mounted on the machine frame.

Claim 8

Dependent Claim 41 words

A machine according to claim 5, in which said two horizontally displaceable slides are interconnected by a transversely extending threaded spindle which has a right-hand threaded portion receiving the horizontal slide and a left-hand threaded portion receiving the other horizontal slide.

Claim 9

Dependent Claim 109 words

A machine according to claim 6, in which said workpiece support means is supported with lateral guide tracks on rowlocks acting as guide means located on the side portions of the machine side supports; and including an apparatus for pasting self-adhesive reinforcing strips to the underside of the panel to be processed in the region of the mitre cut to be produced, said apparatus being located between and on the machine side supports in front of the workpiece support means, and an adhesive device provided for each mitre cutter, said adhesive device being laterally continuously adjustable in the machine width and having said adhesive reinforcing strip removably mounted therein.
