HOLDING DEVICE OF CUT ELEMENT

PURPOSE:To prevent an excessive load from being applied to a cutting tool and smoothly perform cutting work, in a device holding a cut element when a dismantled work is cut into pieces, by supporting empty weights of the holding device and the cut element, applied to an expected cut part during cutting work, through leg mechanisms. CONSTITUTION:When an expected cut part C of a dismantled object A is horizontally cut by a cutting tool, a cut element (a) is held by press holding mechanisms 8, 9, 10 further fixed by a supporting mechanism 14 to a lower side part from the expected cut part C. In this way, the expected cut part C is cut, then a residual uncut portion is gradually decreased during cutting work, and empty weights of the cut element (a) and cut element holding device, applied to this slight amount of the uncut portion, are supported by leg mechanisms 17, 18 through rods 19, 20, then an excessive load is not applied to the cutting tool B, thus horizontally cutting operation can be smoothly continued.
