Abstract
Abstract Machine for producing pattern cardboard articles, in particular folding boxes, having a table board on which a scoring board and/or the workpiece comprising cardboard material are clamped firmly by providing that the table board and the scoring board comprise porous, i.e., air-permeable, but hard material, such as particle board material, and that to effect the firm clamping, a pneumatic negative pressure is generated beneath the table board, and that to produce scoring lines, a scoring tool disposed on a transporting device, so that each point on the workpiece is approachable by the tool. Further tools, specifically a face milling tool for producing the scoring grooves, a marking tool and/or a cutting tool for cutting out the pattern, may also be disposed on the transporting device.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 21
Claim 1
Independent Claim
226 words
A machine for producing pattern cardboard articles, in particular folding boxes which comprises a table board (11) on which a scoring board (16) and/or a workpiece (17) of cardboard material can be clamped, said table board having a substantially continuous top surface for firmly clamping said workpiece thereto, a scoring tool (19-22, 46, 54) for impressing scoring lines (25) into said workpiece, a tool carriage (12, 13) for transporting and positioning the scoring tool (19, 20, 46, 54) relative to said workpiece, said tool carriage including a guide device (13) for rectilinear displacement of said scoring tool during impressing scoring lines into said workpiece, a pneumatic negative pressure clamping means for clamping said workpiece (17) to said table board, said pneumatic negative pressure clamping means being below said table board (11) said table board being formed from an inherently porous material such that for acting upon said scoring board (16) and/or said workpiece (17) are firmly clamped form underneath by a pneumatic negative pressure acting through the table board by virtue of the inherent porosity of the material, and said tool carriage (12) includes a guide device (15) which supports at least one tool holder (13), and said tool carriage is movable transversely to the direction of displacement of said at least one tool holder, so that every point on the workpiece (17) can be approached.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
226 words
A machine for producing pattern cardboard articles, in particular folding boxes which comprises a table board (11) on which a scoring board (16) and/or a workpiece (17) of cardboard material can be clamped, said table board having a substantially continuous top surface for firmly clamping said workpiece thereto, a scoring tool (19-22, 46, 54) for impressing scoring lines (25) into said workpiece, a tool carriage (12, 13) for transporting and positioning the scoring tool (19, 20, 46, 54) relative to said workpiece, said tool carriage including a guide device (13) for rectilinear displacement of said scoring tool during impressing scoring lines into said workpiece, a pneumatic negative pressure clamping means for clamping said workpiece (17) to said table board, said pneumatic negative pressure clamping means being below said table board (11) said table board being formed from an inherently porous material such that for acting upon said scoring board (16) and/or said workpiece (17) are firmly clamped form underneath by a pneumatic negative pressure acting through the table board by virtue of the inherent porosity of the material, and said tool carriage (12) includes a guide device (15) which supports at least one tool holder (13), and said tool carriage is movable transversely to the direction of displacement of said at least one tool holder, so that every point on the workpiece (17) can be approached.
