Definitions

  • the present invention regards wood log or stub splitting apparatuses as per the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such a wood log or stub splitting apparatus is known from the document WO2012/167194 A2 .
  • a particular solution of this type consists in using a pair of tilting arms or handlebars which serve two purposes: locking - between them - the wood log on the support surface in a centred position with respect to the splitting blade, and granting consent to the activation of the actuation unit to carry out the splitting operation only through a manoeuvre simultaneously continuously exerted on both arms, and thus using both hands.
  • the safety system proposed in the aforementioned prior art documents basically creates excessive hindrance for the operator who, instead of being forced to passively observe the entire splitting step, could more usefully use this period of time to hold the pieces of wood to prevent them from falling uncontrollably during the splitting step.
  • the object of the present invention is to overcome the aforementioned drawback, and more in particular to provide a wood splitting apparatus of the type defined above guaranteeing the maximum degree of safety for the operator in particular in the critical step of approaching the blade to the log, as explained previously.
  • the cylinder of the hydraulic jack is articulated inferiorly to a rotatable bracket provided on top of the support structure.
  • the hydraulic jack is moveable - by means of the rotatable bracket - between a first position, in which the actuation unit is susceptible to be made operative through the control means, and a second position, corresponding to the application - on the blade - of a resistance to the displacement thereof towards the advanced position, for example due to a hand of a distracted operator, in which the actuation unit is made temporarily inoperative, so as to stop the displacement of the blade towards the advanced position.
  • the operator can position and align the piece to be split on the support surface of the apparatus under safe conditions given that should the blade encounter even a slight resistance to the displacement thereof towards the advanced position, the movement thereof automatically stops immediately.
  • the stopping of the blade occurs when the latter intercepts the surface of the wood log to be split.
  • the displacement of the rotatable bracket from the first to the second angular position is countered by at least one spring whose restoring force can be advantageously adjusted as a function of the desired degree of the minimum counteracting force of the blade to stop the apparatus.
  • the cylinder comprises a pin whose ends protrude from the lateral surface thereof.
  • the pin is carried by the bracket by means of a releasable retaining arm.
  • the invention comprises a support structure generally indicated with 1, consisting of a framework 2, a vertical upright 3 and a horizontal base 4 for supporting the wood log P which is to be split when required.
  • the blade 6 with the slide 5 is carried by the stem 9 of a hydraulic jack 7 comprising a cylinder 8 arranged substantially vertically facing the upright 3 and articulated beneath said upright 3, as clarified hereinafter.
  • the upright 3 further bears an electrical-hydraulic actuation unit, not shown in that known to a man skilled in the art, of the hydraulic jack 7 with the related control means 10, 11, 25 to displace the blade 6 from a raised or receded position to an advanced or lowered position and vice versa.
  • the control means 10, 11, 25 include, so as to comply with the regulatory safety specifications set forth for such wood log splitting apparatuses, safety means for example consisting of a pair of levers 10 or buttons 11 that require the action of both hands of the operator to carry out the operation for splitting the wood log P.
  • the hydraulic jack 7 is not fixed. As a matter of fact, it can oscillate between a first angular position and a second angular position with respect to the upright 3 for a stroke of pre-established degree.
  • the cylinder 8 of the hydraulic jack 7 comprises - at the lower part - a horizontal transversal pin 12 whose ends traverse respective lateral slots 13 of a pair of rotatable brackets 14 each having an end opposite to the corresponding slot 13 hinged to the top part of the upright 3 by means of the pin 15.
  • brackets 14 are joined, substantially in the respective central portions, by a shaft 16 bearing a pair of plates 17 fixed to each one of which is a vertical stem 18 bearing - at the top part - a washer 19. Compression helical springs 20 are interposed between the washers 19 and the pair of plates 17.
  • Figure 4 shows a pair of releasable retaining arms 21 each comprising a hook-like portion provided for engaging a respective end of the pin 12 of the cylinder 8, and being joined in the opposite portions by a handle for disengaging such arms from the pin 12 countering the force of a spring 26.
  • a contact switch whose body 22 is fixed to one of the brackets 14 and designed to make the actuation unit of the log splitting apparatus inoperative, stopping the displacement of the blade 6 towards the advanced position, when such contact switch 22 is moved away from an abutment 23 integrally joined to the upright 3.
  • Figure 5 shows a covering strip 24 bearing a button 25 designed to return the blade to the initial raised position after the splitting step.
  • the wood log splitting apparatus according to the invention operates as follows.
  • the operator commands the start of the splitting cycle, normally by actuating one of the buttons 11 so as to arrange both hands for positioning and centring the piece to be split more comfortably.
  • the blade 6 descends until it rests on the wood log P to be split, or until it encounters a resistance against the lowering thereof, for example due to an inadvertent contact of a finger or another part of the body of the operator with such blade 6.
  • a resistance whose degree can be adjusted by means of springs 20, applied to the blade 6 causes the oscillation of the cylinder 8, or of the hydraulic jack 7, thanks to the rotation of the brackets 14 which will also move the contact switch 22 away from the relative counteracting means 23 thus stopping the actuation unit of the apparatus.
  • both buttons 11 have to be actuated in order to resume the displacement of the blade 6 downwards so as to split the piece P resting on the platform 4. This requires the action of both hands of the operator who cannot hold the piece P to be split in this step. However, the stability of the piece P on the support platform 4 is guaranteed in this step by the counteraction of the blade 6 from above.
  • pressing the button 25 will allow to return the blade 6 to the initial raised position.
