Brief Patent Description - Full Patent Description - Patent Application Claims
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] As is known, bilateral machines are already commercially available which automatically process the edges of rectangular or square glass panes, since the glass pane is first processed on two mutually opposite sides, by means of a first bilateral unit, and then the pane is introduced into a transfer assembly, which causes the advancement of the pane along a perpendicular direction, achieving the processing of the other two sides by means of a second bilateral unit. [0002] Such types of machines allow to process automatically only panes which have a rectangular or square shape and consequently have four right angles; if it is necessary to process panes which are shaped like a parallelogram but have non-right angles, currently the pane is inserted into a machine with one side on the references of the bilateral machine, performing accordingly the processing on the first two parallel sides. [0003] Thereafter, the pane has to be picked up manually and turned so as to insert it in order to process the remaining two sides. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0004] The aim of the invention is to solve the problem described above by providing a bilateral machine for processing panes shaped like a parallelogram with non-right angles, which allows to perform processing on the mutually opposite sides in a completely automatic manner. [0005] Within this aim, an object of the invention is to provide a bilateral machine which allows to perform processing in succession on all sides without requiring the manual intervention of the operator. [0006] Another object of the present invention is to provide a bilateral machine for processing panes shaped like a parallelogram with non-right angles which, thanks to its particular constructive characteristics, is capable of giving the greatest assurances of reliability and safety in use. [0007] Still another object of the present invention is to provide a bilateral machine which can be obtained easily starting from commonly commercially available elements and materials and is also competitive from a merely economical standpoint. [0008] This aim and these and other objects, which will become better apparent hereinafter, are achieved by a bilateral machine for processing panes shaped like a parallelogram with non-right angles, according to the invention, comprising an input station downstream of which there is a first bilateral unit which leads to an angle transfer assembly which is arranged upstream of a second bilateral unit, characterized in that said angle transfer assembly comprises means for rotation on the plane of arrangement of the pane being processed and means which can be activated selectively for the alignment of the unprocessed edges of the pane being processed. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS [0009] Further characteristics and advantages will become better apparent from the description of a preferred but not exclusive embodiment of a bilateral machine for processing panes shaped like a parallelogram with non-right angles, illustrated by way of non-limiting example in the accompanying drawings, wherein: [0010] FIG. 1 is a schematic plan view of the bilateral machine according to the invention during insertion of the pane being processed in the first bilateral unit; [0011] FIG. 2 is a plan view of the bilateral machine with the pane on the angle transfer assembly; [0012] FIG. 3 is a plan view of the bilateral machine after turning the pane on the angle transfer assembly; [0013] FIG. 4 is a view of the final step of the processing of the glass pane; [0014] FIG. 5 is a schematic perspective view of the angle transfer assembly with the pane that arrives from the first bilateral unit; [0015] FIG. 6 is an enlarged-scale perspective view of the detail of the pane in output from the first bilateral unit; [0016] FIG. 7 is a view of the pane on the angle transfer assembly, with the means for alignment of the unprocessed edge of the pane being processed activated; [0017] FIG. 8 is a schematic view of the rotated pane; [0018] FIG. 9 is a perspective view, taken from the inner side, of the means for alignment of the unprocessed edge. DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS [0019] With reference to the figures, the bilateral machine for processing panes shaped like a parallelogram with non-right angles, generally designated by the reference numeral 1, comprises an input station 2, which is constituted by a traditional roller bed which has a fixed abutment 3 and is arranged downstream of a first bilateral unit 4 which is advantageously of the twin multiple-head type, i.e., with a first plurality of fixed heads 5, which are arranged on the abutment side, and a first plurality of movable heads 6, which are arranged on the opposite side and can move to arrange themselves in accordance with the width of the pane; said head assemblies can be activated independently as a function of the position of the glass pane. [0020] Advantageously, the pane, designated by the reference numeral 10, is arranged on the loading station 2 so that its short sides are processed first and the leading vertex is preferably the vertex designated by the reference numeral 7 and arranged on the opposite side with respect to the plurality of fixed abutment heads 5, i.e., arranged on the fixed side.
