Abstract

A rod cutting device includes a cutting head including a stationary cutting blade and a movable cutting blade for cutting off a waste part of a rod, and a waste part holding mechanism disposed near a cutting operation completing position, toward which the movable cutting chip is moved toward complete a rod cutting operation, to hold the part of the rod that has been cut off. The waste part holding mechanism employs a magnetic holding member for holding a waste part of a magnetic material or a resilient holding member for holding a waste part of a nonmagnetic material. The part of the rod that has been cut off is held and prevented from dropping by the waste part holding mechanism.

Claims

1. A rod cutting device comprising:

a cutting head including a stationary cutting blade and a movable cutting blade for cutting off a waste part of a rod, and

a waste part holding means disposed near a cutting operation completing position, toward which the movable cutting blade is moved to complete a rod cutting operation, to hold the part of the rod that has been cut off by its cut end part.

2. The rod cutting device according to claim 1, wherein the waste part holding means holds the waste part with its axis extended substantially in parallel to an axis of the rod.

3. The rod cutting device according to claim 1, wherein the waste part holding means comprises a magnetic material having a attracting part extending substantially perpendicularly to moving direction of the movable cutting blade.

4. The rod cutting device according to claim 3 further comprising a resilient member detachably connected to the attracting part of the magnetic member.

5. The rod cutting device according to claim 2, wherein the waste part holding means comprises a pair of opposite elastic holding arms respectively having base ends connected together so as to define a rod-receiving space, and the waste part holding means is disposed such that a line extending between free ends of the elastic holding arms is perpendicular to the axis of the waste part.

6. The rod cutting device according to claim 5, wherein the elastic holding arms of the waste part holding means have the shape of a plate.

7. The rod cutting device according to claim 5, wherein the elastic holding arms of the waste part holding means have the shape of a pin.
