Abstract

A base for manual ceramic cutters, which is provided with a support surface for the ceramic parts to be cut, the base including a rigid profile in the central longitudinal area, which rigid profile is secured to the supports of longitudinal displacement guides for a tool-holder head; and two lateral platforms mounted on the rigid profile by longitudinal shafts, which lateral platforms can be lowered between a horizontal use position, in which they form a support surface for the ceramic parts to be cut, and an inoperative position, in which the base defines a smaller surface area.

First claim

1 - 6 . (canceled)

7 . A base for a manual ceramic cutter, said base comprising:
a support surface for the ceramic parts to be cut, and further comprising: a rigid steel profile in the central longitudinal area, secured to supports for longitudinal displacement guides for a tool-holder head; and two lateral platforms mounted on the rigid profile by longitudinal shafts and which can be lowered between a horizontal use position, in which they form a support surface for the ceramic parts to be cut, and an inoperative position in which the base defines a smaller surface area.

8 . The base according to claim 7 , wherein each lateral platform comprises, at least, a first plate mounted on the rigid profile by the corresponding longitudinal shaft, and a second plate articulated on the first plate by a rotary shaft.

9 . The base according to claim 8 , wherein each lateral platform comprises terminations, in this case made from plastic, like lateral arms, which are mounted and can be rotated and longitudinally moved with respect to a rotary shaft defined on the free end of the second plate of the corresponding platform.

10 . The base according to claim 7 , wherein in the inopertive position, the lateral platforms loop around at least the sides of the longitudinal guides.

11 . The base according to claim 7 , further comprising springs on the ends of the rigid profile to cushion the lateral platforms when they are unfolded in the position of use.

12 . The base according to claim 7 , further comprising folding arms on the sides under the lateral platforms, mounted on the opposite sides of the rigid profile, of a length greater than the width of said lateral platforms, and comprising internally, support feet on the floor; and on the top, suspension elements and support elements of the lateral platforms in an unfolded position.
