Definitions

• the present invention relates to a saw blade with progressive teeth and variable pitch.
• the saw blades can have different teeth depending on the material to be treated and the type of work to be done.
• the teeth of the saw blades intended to work on wood or soft materials, are generally based on double or triple bevel. They perform well but remain very specialized according to the pitch of the teeth, and are therefore limited to a specific job.
• the finer pitch of the saw blade teeth allows precision work in hardwoods, such as flooring, while the larger steps offer a high flow for coarser jobs, requiring less precision.
• US Patent 2,568,870 describes in particular a saw blade whose tooth size and the pitch of the toothing gradually increase in one sector, then gradually decrease in the next sector.
• US Patent 2002 029679 describes in particular a saw blade whose tooth pitch and size may vary.
• this type of saw does not allow both to perform a fast and fine job, without changing saw, and does not allow a start of cutting easy and regular.
• the triple-bevel teeth have only one type of pitch per blade, thus reducing the range of applications of this type of saw.
• the invention proposes to overcome this disadvantage by means of a multi-purpose hand saw blade cutter which makes it possible at the same time to ensure precise cutting work and high throughput, while using a single saw blade, and while avoiding jerks when cutting wood in all its forms, thanks to an easy start allowed by a fine toothing followed by a larger toothing to ensure a high flow.
• the subject of the present invention is a saw blade divided into successive sectors corresponding to a progressive toothing and to a different pitch, characterized in that the toothing of said blade is in triple bevel and in that each sector is -Also divided into portions, each portion having a different step that increases gradually from one portion to the next, the depth of the teeth being also variable from one portion to another.
• the saw blade consists of teeth with a different pitch, the step constituting the distance between the tips of two consecutive teeth.
• the concept of number of teeth per unit length, called teeth per inch, may also be used in the remainder of the description, this measure being usually used in the technical field in question.
• the thumb actually corresponds to an Anglo-Saxon measurement of 2.54 centimeters.
• the saw blade according to the invention has a toothing which is divided into sectors themselves divided into portions. Each sector can be repeated several times over the entire length of the blade. Moreover, a sector may contain from one to five different portions, the portions corresponding to a type of gear whose pitch is progressive and different.
• the saw blade has a sector whose teeth have a fine pitch which increases gradually to reach a larger step.
• the sector is then repeated, and the toothing starts again with a finer step which increases gradually towards a greater step.
• Each sector can be repeated and be identical to the previous one or be different.
• Figure 1 shows a portion of the saw blade
• Figure 2 shows a saw blade where the sectors are repeated several times.
• the saw blade 1 has successive sectors 2 which can be repeated over the entire length of the blade 1. These sectors 2 are themselves divided into portions 3. The sectors will have an average length of 50 millimeters in order to maintain the interest. each type of step.
• Each portion 3 has a different step which increases gradually from portion to portion. Moreover, these portions have a profile progressive in the depth of the teeth, to obtain a smooth evolution of the chip evacuation capacity, and also to avoid jolts. The depth of the interval between each tooth increases progressively over the entire length of the sector 2 constituted by the portions 3, so as to improve chip evacuation.
• the same blade may receive several sectors, each of these sectors being provided with a portion with eleven teeth per inch over a given length, then a portion with nine teeth per inch over a given second length.
• the tips of all teeth are strictly at the same height, without recess, even from one portion to another, or from one sector to another, which allows to have a speed of regular cut, whether the work is done on soft or hard material.
• the teeth are indeed at the same height, even when going from one sector to the next.
• the principle of progressivity between the teeth makes it necessary to make a connection between the different steps. As a result, the height of the first tooth corresponds to the height of the last tooth of the previous portion.
• the depth of the first tooth at the pitch of nine teeth per inch will be equal to the depth of a triple bevel tooth at a pitch of eleven teeth per inch (to be verified).
• This principle is identical, regardless of the pitch of the teeth, such as the passage between two portions, respectively from nine teeth per inch to seven teeth per inch.
• the second tooth of the same height will be removed so as to have a perfect continuity along the entire length of the saw blade.
• the pitch of the toothing is small and has a larger inside angle, therefore a low angle of attack of the material.
• This step increases gradually while the angle of attack increases in parallel.
• the depth of these teeth also increases gradually.
• the progressivity encountered along the length of the saw blade thus induces a change in the angle of attack of the tooth in the material. As this angle is smaller on small teeth, the effort required to initiate the cutting of the material is also lower. This effort increases gradually with the reduction of the angle, which ensures a smooth operation of the saw.
• a saw blade In order to obtain a saw blade with great versatility, it may have several portions, preferably two to five, each portion having a variable and progressive pitch.
• the portions may have different widths and pitches, thus making it possible to obtain a saw blade that can cover a large number of types of work.
• a difference of two to three teeth per inch between two consecutive portions makes it possible to obtain a fairly wide variation in the type of work.
• the variation of pitch between each portion can be achieved with a difference of one to three teeth per inch, or one to three teeth per 2.54 centimeters.
• a blade may have a profile with seven teeth per inch but the tip has a sector starting with eleven teeth per inch that gradually decreases to seven teeth per inch. This type of sector with fine teeth allows a start of the favored cutting work since this type of step avoids the jumps that can be had with blades that have seven teeth per inch.
• This type of gear can be used on conventional saws, but also for cross-saws. It can also be applied to a double or triple bevel toothing. In the case of a triple bevel toothing, the progressive zone is placed at the beginning of the blade so as to facilitate the initiation of cutting of the material.
• steps of this type of saw blade can vary from 1.5 to 8.5 millimeters, thus leaving a large margin for the types of saw blades.
• the cutting angle can vary from 25 to 35 degrees relative to the perpendicular of the blade.
