As illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 2, the panel cutting jig according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a main body 100 and a holder 200. Overall, the main body 100 serves to accommodate the panel 10, and the holder 200 applies elastic force to press the panel 10 inserted into the main body 100, thereby serving to fix the panel inserted into the main body 100 to the main body 100. Accordingly, a user can cut the panel 10 while the panel 10 inserted into the main body 100 is fixed by the elastic force of the holder 200. The cutting of the panel 10 may be made with an electric saw or a manual saw.


The main body 100 is formed with an insertion channel 130 into which the panel 10 is inserted. This main body 100 may be formed in a rectangular frame shape as a whole. A cutting guide 102 formed perpendicular to the length direction of the main body 100 and guiding the cutting of the panel 10 inserted into the insertion channel 130 may be provided at one end of the main body 100. In addition, the other end of the main body 100 may be provided with a panel insertion hole 101 formed to be inclined in a length direction of the main body 100 to guide the insertion into the insertion channel 130 of the panel 10.


The material of the main body 100 is not particularly limited, but may be formed of, for example, High Density Polyethylene (HDPE).


The main body 100 may be separated into a first body 110 covering one side of the insertion channel 130 and a second body 120 covering the other side of the insertion panel. Specifically, the first body 110 and the second body 120 are stacked side by side, and in this way, the insertion channel 130 may be formed between the stacked first body 110 and the second body 120.


Furthermore, the first body 110 and the second body 120 may be coupled to each other in a separable manner.


For example, as a fixing hole 112 is formed in one side of the first body 110 and a fixing protrusion 122 inserted into the fixing hole 112 is formed in one side of the second body 120. Accordingly, one side of the first body 110 and one side of the second body 120 may be detachably coupled. The fixing hole 112 may be formed in a plate shape, and the fixing protrusion 122 may be formed in a hook shape. Accordingly, after the fixing protrusion 122 is inserted into the fixing hole 112, the fixing projection 122 may be locked and fixed in the fixing hole 112 by the hook shape of the fixing projection 122.


In addition, as a support wall 113 is formed in the other side of the first body 110 and the bearing wall 123 borne by the support wall 113 is formed in the other side of the second body 120, the other side of the first body 110 and the other side of the second body 120 may be detachably coupled in a manner such that the support wall 113 is borne by the bearing wall 123. The support wall 113 may be vertically bent and extended from the other edge of the first body 110, and the bearing wall 123 may be vertically bent and extended from the other edge of the second body 120.


Moreover, a locking projection 114 may be formed on the support wall 113, and a locking hole 124 through which the locking protrusion 114 may be locked and fixed may be formed on the bearing wall 123. Accordingly, when the support wall 113 is borne by the bearing wall 123, as the locking protrusion 114 of the support wall 113 is locked and fixed to the locking hole 124 of the support wall 123, the support wall 113 and the bearing wall 123 may be prevented from being separated.


A scale may be marked in at least one side of the first body 110 and the second body 120 in a length direction of the main body 100. When scales are displayed in each of one side of the first body 110 and in one side of the second body 120, the scales displayed in one side of the first body 110 and the scales displayed in one side of the second body 120 may be displayed in each different unit. For example, a scale marked in one side of the first body 110 may be displayed in centimeter units, and a scale marked in one side of the second body 120 may be displayed in inches.


A stepped unit 140 may be formed in one side of the first body 110 and one side of the second body 120. Accordingly, a user may check and display the cut dimensions and cut portions of the panel 10 while the panel 10 is stably mounted on the stepped unit 140.


A first opening 111 in which the holder 200 is disposed may be formed in any one of the first body 110 and the second body 120, and a second opening 121 facing the holder 200 may be formed in the other of the first body 110 and the second body 120. The first opening 111 may be formed in a plate shape, and the second opening 121 may be formed in a circular shape. The holder 200 penetrates into the insertion channel 130 between the first body 110 and the second body 120. Accordingly, when the panel 10 is inserted into the insertion channel 130, interference may occur between the holder 200 and the panel 10. Therefore, before the panel 10 is inserted into the insertion channel 130, it is preferred that force for discharging the holder 200 from the insertion channel 130 through the second opening 121 is applied to discharge the holder 200 from the insertion channel 130. As such, when the holder 200 is discharged from the insertion channel 130, it is possible to prevent interference between the holder 200 and the panel 10 from occurring when the panel 10 is inserted into the insertion channel 130.


The holder 200 is elastically deformable and supports the main body 100, and elastic force is generated toward the insertion channel 130. In addition, the holder 200 applies elastic force to press the panel 10 inserted into the insertion channel 130. The holder 200 may be supported on the inner surface of the first opening 111 of the first body 110.


One end of the holder 200 may be provided with a stress dispersion unit 210 that is supports the main body 100 and is formed in parallel with the insertion channel 130 to disperse the stress caused by the elastic deformation of the holder 200. For example, the stress dispersion unit 210 may be formed in the form of a plate parallel to the insertion channel 130, and serves to prevent the holder 200 from breaking by dispersing stress due to elastic deformation of the holder 200.


There is provided a holder separation unit 220 capable of applying force for discharging the holder 200 from the insertion channel 130 while the holder 200 applies elastic force to the panel 10 inserted into the insertion channel 130 to the other end of the holder 200. For example, the holder separation unit 220 may be formed in a plate shape bent in a direction spaced apart from the insertion channel 130. Accordingly, in a state in which the holder 200 applies elastic force to the panel 10 inserted into the insertion channel 130, a user puts a hand between the holder separation unit 220 and the panel 10 so as to apply the force to discharge the holder 200 from the insertion channel 130, so that the state in which the holder 200 applies the elastic force to the panel 10 may be released.


The holder main body 230 between the stress dispersion unit 210 and the holder separation unit 220 may have a pair of bending plates, and the bent portions of the pair of bending plates are in contact with the panel 10 to apply elastic force.


Hereinafter, an operation example of the present disclosure will be described.



FIGS. 3 to 7 are operational views of the panel cutting jig according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.


Referring back to FIG. 1, the holder 200 is bent toward the insertion channel 130 of the main body 100 to penetrate the insertion channel 130 of the main body 100. Accordingly, only when the holder 200 is discharged from the insertion channel 130 of the main body 100, it is possible to prevent interference between the holder 200 and the panel 10 when the panel 10 is inserted into the insertion channel 130 of the main body 100.


Accordingly, as illustrated in FIG. 3, first, a user applies force for discharging the holder 200 from the insertion channel 130 of the main body 100 through the second opening 121 to discharge the holder 200 from the insertion channel 130 of the main body 100.


Next, the user inserts the panel 10 into the insertion channel 130 of the main body 100 while maintaining the state in which the holder 200 is discharged from the insertion channel 130 of the main body 100. The panel 10 may be easily inserted through the panel insertion hole 101 of the main body 100. Thereafter, when the panel 10 reaches the holder 200 while being continuously inserted into the insertion channel 130, the user releases the state in which the holder 200 is discharged from the insertion channel 130 of the main body 100. As a result, the holder 200 may apply elastic force to press the panel 10 inserted into the insertion channel 130.


Next, the user completely passes the panel 10 through the insertion channel 130 to dispose the cut portion of the panel 10 on the cutting guide 102 of the main body 100.


Next, as illustrated in FIGS. 4 to 5, as the holder 200 applies elastic force to press the panel 10 inserted into the insertion channel 130, the panel 10 inserted into the insertion channel 130 is fixed. The user may cut the panel 10 based on the cutting portion of the panel 10 disposed on the cutting guide 102 of the main body 100 using a cutting mechanism 20. The user additionally applies pressing force to the main body 100 or the holder 200 while disposing the main body 100 into which the panel 10 is inserted on a workbench 30 to firmly fix the panel 10. After fixing, the cutting portion of the panel 10 may be cut. A stationery knife, a chainsaw, and a hacksaw may be used as the cutting mechanism 20.


Next, as illustrated in FIGS. 6 to 7, after the user turns over the main body 100, the panel 10 may be cut based on the cutting portion of the panel 10 disposed on the cutting guide 102 of the main body 100. The user additionally applies pressing force to the main body 100 or the holder 200 while disposing the main body 100 into which the panel 10 is inserted on the workbench 30 to firmly fix the panel 10. After fixing, the cutting portion of the panel 10 may be cut.


Next, the user applies force for discharging the holder 200 from the insertion channel 130 through the holder separation unit 220 to discharge the holder 200 from the insertion channel 130 and release the elastic force applied to a wooden channel by the holder 200.


Finally, the user discharges the panel 10 from the insertion channel 130.


Accordingly, according to the present disclosure, the panel cutting jig according to an embodiment of the present disclosure has the advantage of stably fixing and cutting the panel 10 and making the cutting surface of the panel 10 even.



FIG. 8 is a perspective view illustrating a panel cutting jig according to another embodiment of the present disclosure.


As illustrated in FIG. 8, the panel cutting jig according to another embodiment of the present disclosure may further include a surface roughness adjustment unit 300 that may change the surface roughness of the cutting portion of the panel 10, unlike the panel cutting jig according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.


The surface roughness adjustment unit 300 may be sandpaper provided on an outer surface of the main body 100, and a user may change the surface roughness of the cutting portion of the panel 10 by using the sandpaper.



FIG. 9 is another operational view of the panel cutting jig according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.


As illustrated in FIG. 9, a user may cut the panel 10 using the cutting mechanism 20 based on the cutting portion of the panel 10 disposed in the panel insertion hole 101 of the main body 100. Since the panel insertion hole 101 is an inclined surface, the cutting portion of the panel 10 may be formed as an inclined surface.


The panel cutting jig according to the present disclosure may be applied to cutting a plate having a predetermined thickness, and a panel for blind curtains.


Hereinbefore, the present disclosure has been described with reference to the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. It will be understood by those skilled in the technical field to which the present disclosure pertains that the present disclosure may be embodied in various other specific forms without departing from the technical ideas or essential characteristics of the present disclosure.
