Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a universal machine for wood and/or synthetic plastic working. More particularly it relates to a universal machine which has a working motor supported in a height-adjusting device inside a machine housing and having a motor shaft with ends formed as working spindles, wherein the working motor is turnable by a turning device from its horizontal position to its vertical position.

Such universal machines are known in the art and designed first of all for the home use, for a mobile workshop, etc. Numerous constructions are available on the market which, however, possess some disadvantages. They are provided with several working motors which lead to a considerable increase of the prime cost for such a machine. The base model incorporates a predetermined working machine, for example, a thickness planing device on which different auxiliary aggregates must be mounted. This concept leads to compromises. For example the conversion of the abovementioned thickness planing device to a circular saw requires lateral mounting of an additional table. This in turn requires an additional working space and leads as a rule to complicated mounting construction which affect the manufacturing accuracy.

One of such universal machines is disclosed in the French Pat. No. 1,594,086. Here the working motor is constantly equipped with a circular saw, whereas the other working spindle of the working motor can be used for a belt drive. This working spindle does not extend in any position of the working motor over the machine housing. Always, an intermediate element must be provided which receives the proper working spindle for the tool. A planing shaft is constantly provided and equipped at its one end with a drill and its other end with a mill holder. All these tools are therefore installed permanently. Covers for the tools not in use are not provided. The abovementioned drill does not have for example a drill advancing, workpiece guiding and holding devices. A workpiece to be drilled must be pressed by hand against the drill. The machine housing which is open at its sides is closed at its upper side by a sawing and milling table which is turnable into an approximately vertical position. This sawing and milling table has two openings provided for passage of the saw, the planing shaft and the milling holder. Further, a small table is articulately connected with the machine housing and turnable in a horizontal plane. Moreover, a further small table can be pulled from the machine housing. Both these tables lie in their working position parallel near one another. The machine housing does not have throughgoing openings for the ends of the motor shaft of the working motor.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a universal machine of the abovementioned type which avoids the disadvantages of the prior art.

More particularly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a universal machine of the abovementioned type, which has only one working motor, allows a simple and fast conversion, and despite of a very small working space consumption makes possible a high manufacturing precision.

In keeping with these objects and with others which will become apparent hereinafter, one feature of the present invention resides, briefly stated, in a universal machine which has a machine housing surrounding a working motor and having a first horizontal mounting surface, which limits the machine housing from above, two opposite first lateral walls, a second outwardly extending horizontal mounting surface and a third outwardly extending horizontal mounting surface associated with the lateral walls and located deeper than the first horizontal mounting surface, so that the three mounting surfaces form integral components of the machine housing, the lateral walls associated with the first mounting surface and the third mounting surface are provided with throughgoing openings through which one working spindle of the working motor extends in a vertical or a horizontal position of the working motor, the lateral wall facing toward the second mounting surface has another throughgoing opening which is in alignment with the other horizontally lying working spindle, and at least first and second mounting surfaces are provided with centering elements for releasable receipt of a protective hood as well as at least one exchangeable independent working device.

It is advantageous when the protective hood has a cover plate lying on the first mounting surface and covers for the throughgoing openings not required for the respective working devices or for the working spindle extending through such openings.

When the universal machine is designed in accordance with the present invention, it provides three-side mounting possibilities for the working machines. Thereby additional working tables and the like for lateral mounting are completely dispensed with. At least the first and second mounting surfaces can be provided with vertical centering pins, whereas the second and third mounting surfaces can be provided with vertical depressions with bottom holes.

The machine housing can have a lower cover as well as a suction pipe for a dust and chip withdrawal located thereabove. The suction can be performed for example by a conventional floor vacuum cleaner.

The height adjusting device for the working motor can include two synchronously driven vertical spindles arranged in in the region of the two lateral walls, and two parallel guide rods on which a motor receiving member is height-adjustable. This construction is especially favorable with consideration of the warp protection than the known constructions provided with height adjustment about a lateral axis. The inventive height-adjusting device for the working motor can have a horizontal turning axle located normally to the motor shaft, so as to steplessly turn the working motor by at least 135.degree. and arrest the same in a desired turning position. The working motor can be vertically displaced in a turned position.

The working spindle which in the vertical position of the motor shaft extends through the first mounting surface is, for example, supported in a reinforced bearing bracket with a reinforced support, so as unobjectionably absorb forces which take place for example during milling.

A sawing and milling table can be releasably mounted on the first mounting surface, for example, by snap closures and provided with changeable throughgoing openings for the working spindle, the circular saw blade, or a milling tool. In an especially advantageous manner, the sawing and milling tool has a cover for the openings associated with the circular saw blade or for the circular segment-shaped recess, and a cover for the working spindle extending through the opposite lateral wall. With simple placement of the sawing and milling on the first mounting surface, covering of the dangerous region is performed automatically.

The novel features which are considered as characteristic for the invention are set forth in particular in the appended claims. The invention itself, however, both as to its construction and its method of operation, together with additional objects and advantages thereof, will be best understood from the following description of specific embodiments when read in connection with the accompanying drawings.
