083397000 | INTERRELATED TOOL ACTUATING MEANS AND GUARD MEANS | 10 |
20090071306 | Guide fence for cutting machine, and cutting machine having same - A cutting machine includes a main body in which a rotary blade is included, a base over which a workpiece is to be placed, and a guide fence mountable to the base. The main body is provided above the base in such a manner that the main body is movable upward and downward, and a longitudinal direction of the guide fence is perpendicular to the rotary blade as viewed from top when the guide fence is mounted to the base. The guide fence provides a guide surface that extends in the longitudinal direction of the guide fence and is configured to be rendered perpendicular to a top face of the base when the guide fence is mounted to the base. The guide fence includes a stopper that is configured to project from the guide surface, to be movable upward and downward, and to be fixed at any level. | 03-19-2009 |
20090235794 | Table cutting machine - A cutting machine can include a cutting machine body that is movably supported above a table and capable of vertical movement, the cutting machine body can be positioned at an upward waiting position and a lower end position. The cutting machine body can include an auxiliary cover positioned around a portion of a blade and including a projection. When in the upward waiting position the auxiliary cover is not able to move upward because of the position of the projection, and in the lower end position the auxiliary cover is able to move upward. | 09-24-2009 |
20100024620 | Table saw guard system - A power table saw having a table top surface with an opening through which a blade can extend, the blade being mounted on an arbor and being at least vertically adjustable relative to the top surface, the table saw comprising a blade assembly having a first pivot connection and being pivotally mounted to the table saw enabling the blade to be vertically adjusted through a predetermined arc relative to the table top and a riving knife mounted on the blade assembly and being vertically moveable in a substantially straight direction as the blade is vertically adjusted through the predetermined arc. | 02-04-2010 |
20100257990 | TABLE SAWS HAVING INTEGRATED CONTROL SYSTEMS - A power tool having an integrated control system includes a workpiece supporting surface, a cutting instrument extendable above the workpiece supporting surface, a guard assembly securable above the workpiece supporting surface for covering at least a portion of the cutting instrument, the guard assembly having a first state for providing a first level of protection and a second state for providing a second level of protection, a motor coupled with the cutting instrument, and a power switch operable for starting the motor for driving the cutting instrument. The power tool includes a control system in communication with the guard assembly for determining if the guard assembly is in the first state or the second state. Before the motor is started, the control system automatically disables the motor if it determines that the guard assembly is in the second state. The control system includes a bypass switch for enabling starting of the motor when the guard assembly is in the second state. | 10-14-2010 |
20120006165 | Food Slicers - A foodstuff slicer includes a support frame carrying a support with a support surface and a slicing blade including a cutting edge situated above the support surface, whereby a foodstuff article may be slid along the support surface into contact with the cutting edge to cut a slice from it. A guard member including at least one guard limb is guided to move transversely to the support surface between an operative position, in which it extends in front of and adjacent to the cutting edge and prevents access to the cutting edge, and an inoperative position, in which it permits access to the cutting edge. A release member is guided to move parallel to the support surface and includes at least one release limb. One of the guard limb and the release limb includes a ramp formation and the other of the guard limb and the release limb includes a follower cooperating with the ramp formation, whereby movement of the release member results in movement of the guard member between the operative and inoperative positions. | 01-12-2012 |
20120067185 | CIRCULAR CROSS-CUT SAW - A circular cross-cut and miter saw has a supporting table and a sawing device, which is pivotable about a cross-cutting axis and has a saw blade and a movable swing guard. During a cross-cutting movement of the sawing device, a swivel mechanism produces a pivoting and/or swiveling movement of the swing guard such that the swing guard can be at least partly opened by swinging the sawing device down and closed by swinging the sawing device up. Uncomfortable and dangerous handling of the swing guard during the cross-cutting movement is avoided by a locking element of the swivel mechanism disposed such that the swing guard can be opened still further, even completely, by hand or by a workpiece to be cut, if either the locking element has been actuated or the cross-cutting movement has already been at least partially carried out. | 03-22-2012 |
20140174272 | Power Saw with Blade Guard Retraction Device - A power saw includes a base portion, a support assembly, a cutting arm, a blade guard, a linkage arm, and a biasing member. The support assembly is supported by the base portion. The cutting arm is supported by the support assembly and is configured to rotatably support a saw blade. The cutting arm is movable between a lower position adjacent to the base portion and an upper position spaced apart from the base portion. The blade guard is rotatably supported by the cutting arm and is configured to receive a portion of the saw blade therein. The linkage arm includes a first end portion pivotally connected to the blade guard, and a second end portion movably supported by the support assembly. The biasing member is operably connected to the second end portion and is configured to bias the linkage arm. | 06-26-2014 |
20140260860 | Miter Saw Rear Guard - A safety component is provided for a power saw that includes a rear guard pivotably mounted to the saw assembly. The rear guard is generally U-shaped to straddle the cutting blade in a deployed position. The rear guard includes arms that contact the workpiece during the cutting operation so that as the saw blade moves downward to perform the cut the rear guard pivots upward while maintaining protection of the rear portion of the saw blade. | 09-18-2014 |
20150020665 | TABLE CUTTING MACHINE - A cutting machine can include a cutting machine body that is movably supported above a table and capable of vertical movement, the cutting machine body can be positioned at an upward waiting position and a lower end position. The cutting machine body can include an auxiliary cover positioned around a portion of a blade and including a projection. When in the upward waiting position the auxiliary cover is not able to move upward because of the position of the projection, and in the lower end position the auxiliary cover is able to move upward. | 01-22-2015 |

20090235795 | Table cutting machine - One aspect of the invention can include a cutting machine having a table, a cutting machine body supported by the table via a sliding mechanism to allow movement in a vertical direction and a horizontal direction, the cutting machine body including a fixed cover positioned around an upper side of a rotary blade mounted to a rotatably driven spindle, the rear edge portion of the fixed cover is recessed upward to enable a large cutting depth. The sliding mechanism includes an intermediate stopper mechanism that can be operated to switch between a state where the cutting machine body can slide within an entire slidable range and a state were the cutting machine body can slide only within a partial slidable range at a midway position. | 09-24-2009 |
