SAW GUARD Filed Feb. 16, 1937 INVENTOR. Gilles Guer'fm I My WM $7 ATTORNEYS. i
Patented Jan. 25, 1938 UNITED STATES PATENT O F- ce" This invention relates to, a guard for circular saws.
An object of the invention is to provide asaw guard wherein safety, convenience, and ease of operation have been materially enhanced by reason of the inclusion of certain structural improvements which form the basis'of the present invention. i
Another object of the invention is to provide an improved form of saw guard which is simple and inexpensive to manufacture.
These and other objects are attained by the means described herein and disclosed in the. accompanying drawing, in which:
Fig. 1 is an elevational View, partly in crosssection, showing the device of the invention.
Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional View taken on line 2-2 of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a cross-sectional fragmental View taken on line 3-3 of Fig. 1.
Fig. 4 is a detail view of a saw-plane'indicating roller guide which forms part of the invention.
In the drawing, 5 indicates the saw table through which extends the circular saw 6. The guard structure for the saw comprises, generally, an arcuate hood I having solid sides 8 and a top for precluding the escape of saw-dust therefrom. At the forward end of the hood is the roller I adapted to engage the work I2 to be advanced to the saw, said roller being freely rotatable so as to climb onto the work or board to be sawed, and thereby to elevate the hood I. The roller is advantageously provided with a circumferential mark or groove I3 so located thereon as to indicate the plane of the saw. This enables the operator to know where the saw cut will occur in the work piece I2. A baille I in the hood protects the bearings of the roller from saw-dust.
At the rear end of the hood, there is pivoted one or more clutch pieces I4 having teeth as shown, which prevent withdrawal of the-work after having been subjected to the saw. It should be noted that any attempt to withdraw a board which has once passed below the clutch, will result in application of a force upwardly and obliquely towardthe hood support bar I6, substantially at right angles thereto. The bar, therefore, does not move longitudinally, but is locked against such movement when the force of the clutch against the work is directed at right angles to the bar, as occurs when removal of clutched work is attempted.
The hood support bar I8 is oblique, or inclined relative to the saw table. This bar is rigidly'flxed flexibility and ease of assembly and adjustment. I
to the hood as at H, so that the hood may not rock when the work is advanced to or moved past the saw. This stability'of the hoodis important,
and constitutes a safety feature of the structure. The hood support bar is suitably guided longi- 5 tudinally in thebar guide- I8, and the weight of the hood and its supportingbar is counter-balanced by means of a spring I9. The coiled ribbon type of spring shown is preferable, due to its 0 The lower end of the spring-is detachably fixed to the bar or the hood at the hooked end 20, whereas the upper end is. fixed at 2| upon a stationary part of the bar guide. As shown, the connection is made at 2| upon a transverse spacer. bar 22 of the guide. To adjust the lifting force of the spring I9,.it is necessaryonly todetach the'spring at and increase or decrease the number ofconvolutions 23 about the member 22. The supports at 24 and. -25'arefixed to the bar guide at; their upper ends, and to the saw table or other suitable. support at the lower ends thereof. In the embodiment shown, the screws or bolts 26 serve to mount the flattened lower ends ofthe supports to the under face of the saw table. The means andlocation of the mounting, howevenare optional. I H I With the counter-balancing of. the saw guard, it is necessary to provide an easy operating and a fool-proof guide means for the inclined bar I6.
pair of side plates v2'! and 28 spaced apart in any suitable manner, such as by means of pairs of spacer rods 29 and 3,0. These rods furnish axles for pairs of flanged wheels 3|, 32, 33, and 34.. These wheels are of .the anti-friction type employing ballor roller bearings. The flanges of the wheels are adjacent to theplates, so that the tires thereof provide a rolling surface for the four corners of the channel which forms the guide bar. This construction results in a substantially frictionless guide'for the hood support bar.
The, operation of the device is as follows. Upon advancing the work-piece I2 toward the saw, the saw-plane indicating roller III is contacted, climbing onto the work-piece, whatever may be the thickness thereof, for elevating the hood 8 in a. horizontal plane. The elevation of p the hood is accompanied by a rearward shifting due tothe inclination of the hood support bar H51 which rides upon the anti-friction rollers as shown in Fig. 3,.and explained .ina previous the hood supportbar, a comparatively light spring l9 may be employed. Should a greater or lesser force be desired on the spring; it"is necessary only to increase or decrease the-number of convolutions at 23, by detaching the spring end at and thereafter winding or unwindingthe remaining portion of the spring "relative to the member 22.
It will be noted that the guard includes very little superstructure, and for thatreason it has the-advantage of occupying a minimum of space and head room above the saw table. The device is entirely automatic, and requires no clamps, thumb screws, or other adjusting means to be cared for by the operator. The provision of solid sides on the hood 8 prevents undesirable and dangerous release of saw-dust laterally of-the saw. In addition to lengthening the. support bar I6, in order to accommodate work of varying degrees of thickness, it is to be understood that other modifications may-be made, within the scope of the appendedclaims without departing from the spirit of the invention.
