Abstract
Abstract A cutting machine for solid bodies such as rubber tires according to the invention comprises a blade base 14 moved vertically by pressing cylinders 1. Downwardly directed cutting blades 18 are mounted on the underside of the blade base 14. These blades 18 can retractably project through slits 15a formed in a presser plate 15 positioned below the blade base 18. Rubber tires T 1 placed on a receiver 27 are cut by the blades 18 with the presser plate 15 compressively retaining the tires T 1 . The resultant cut pieces are discharged by horizontally moving an accommodating box 22 through discharge cylinders 23. The receiver 27 is slightly rotated after a predetermined number of cutting operations.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
180 words
A machine for cutting solid bodies comprising: at least one pressing cylinder means having a vertically movable piston rod; a blade base fixed to the lower end of said piston rod; said blade base having an underside on which a plurality of downwardly directed cutting blades are mounted; a presser plate disposed below said blade base and having a corresponding number of slits through which said blades are allowed to retractably project downward; said presser plate having a center to which a vertical sliding rod is fixed at the lower end thereof; said blade base having a center through which said sliding rod slidably extends; said sliding rod being provided at an intermediate portion thereof with a flange; said blade base having an upper face engagable with said flange and capable of lifting said presser plate; a receiver arranged below said presser plate for placing thereon a solid body or bodies to be cut; rotary drive means for rotating said receiver a predetermined small angle after a predetermined number of cutting operations; and discharge means for horizontally moving cut solids.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
180 words
A machine for cutting solid bodies comprising: at least one pressing cylinder means having a vertically movable piston rod; a blade base fixed to the lower end of said piston rod; said blade base having an underside on which a plurality of downwardly directed cutting blades are mounted; a presser plate disposed below said blade base and having a corresponding number of slits through which said blades are allowed to retractably project downward; said presser plate having a center to which a vertical sliding rod is fixed at the lower end thereof; said blade base having a center through which said sliding rod slidably extends; said sliding rod being provided at an intermediate portion thereof with a flange; said blade base having an upper face engagable with said flange and capable of lifting said presser plate; a receiver arranged below said presser plate for placing thereon a solid body or bodies to be cut; rotary drive means for rotating said receiver a predetermined small angle after a predetermined number of cutting operations; and discharge means for horizontally moving cut solids.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
56 words
A cutting machine as defined in claim 1 further comprising a vertically extending cylindrical guide downwardly movable by gravity and slidably guiding said blade base and said presser plate, said cylindrical guide having an upper end to which a cylindrical stopper is fixed, said cylindrical stopper being engageable with said upper face of said blade base.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
26 words
