Definitions

  • This invention relates generally to a blade guard assembly for saws and more specifically to a blade guard assembly for a combination table/miter saw.
  • US 5927171 discloses a circular saw according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • an improved support assembly is employed.
  • the power tool has a base assembly, a table supported by the base assembly, a saw assembly pivotally attached to the table via a trunnion, the saw assembly including a motor, a blade driven by the motor, an upper blade guard covering an upper part of the blade, a lower blade guard pivotally attached to the upper blade guard for covering a lower part of the blade, an auxiliary blade guard pivotally attached to the lower blade guard, a link attached at one end to the trunnion and at the other end to the lower blade guard, an auxiliary link attached at one end to the link and at the other end to the auxiliary blade guard, and an uplock assembly comprising a guard lock movable between a first position contacting the lower blade guard and a second position not contacting the lower blade guard.
  • a combination table/miter saw 100 may include a base assembly 10, a table 11 supported by base assembly 10, and a saw assembly 20 supported by the table 11.
  • Saw assembly 20 may include a trunnion 21 disposed on the table 11, a pivotable arm 22 pivotably attached to trunnion 21, a motor 24 supported by the arm 22 and driving a blade 23.
  • Arm 22 also supports upper blade guard 27, which covers an upper part of blade 23.
  • Lower blade guard 25 is pivotally attached to upper blade guard 27.
  • An auxiliary blade guard 26 may be pivotably connected to lower blade guard 25.
  • table 11 is pivotally attached to base assembly 10 via joint 15 so that, when the table 11 is in the orientation of FIG. 1A , the saw assembly 20 can act as a miter saw, i.e., saw assembly 20 can be pivoted downwardly towards table 11 to cut a workpiece placed on table 11.
  • the user can use a handle 50 disposed on saw assembly 20 (e.g., on arm 22 and/or upper blade guard 27) to pivot saw assembly 20 downwardly towards table 11.
  • the saw 100 acts as a table saw, i.e., saw assembly 20 will be supported by and disposed underneath the table 11.
  • blade 23 extends through the table 11, so that a user can dispose a workpiece on table 11 and push it towards blade 23 for cutting.
  • base assembly 10 has at least one wheel 13 thereon.
  • Base assembly 10 may also support four leg assemblies 30. Preferably leg assemblies 30 are pivotally attached to base assembly 10.
  • lower blade guard 25 is pivotally connected to upper blade guard 27 at pivot junction 25P.
  • Auxiliary blade guard 26 is pivotally connected to lower blade guard 25 at pivot junction 26P.
  • a link 28 is pivotally connected at one end to trunnion 21 and to lower blade guard 25 at the other end.
  • link 28 is made of metal. It is preferable that link 28 be pivotally connected to lower blade guard 25 at a pivot junction 28P.
  • Pivot junction 25P is preferably disposed between the point in trunnion 21 connected to link 28 and pivot junction 28P. Furthermore, pivot junction 25P is preferably disposed underneath a line drawn between the point in trunnion 21 connected to link 28 and pivot junction 28P.
  • link 28 will pull lower blade guard 25, exposing blade 23 for the cutting operation.
  • auxiliary link 29 is pivotally connected at one end to link 28 and to auxiliary blade guard 26 at the other end.
  • auxiliary link 29 is made of metal. It is preferable that auxiliary link 29 be pivotally connected to auxiliary blade guard 25 at a pivot junction 29P.
  • Pivot junction 26P is preferably disposed between the point in auxiliary link 29 connected to link 28 and pivot junction 29P. Furthermore, pivot junction 26P is preferably disposed underneath a line drawn between the point in auxiliary link 29 connected to link 28 and pivot junction 29P.
  • pivot junction 26P be disposed between pivot junctions 25P and 29P. Furthermore, pivot junction 26P is preferably disposed underneath a line drawn between the pivot junctions 25P and 29P.
  • pivot junction 28P is preferably disposed between the point in auxiliary link 29 connected to link 28 and pivot junction 29P. Furthermore, pivot junction 28P is preferably disposed underneath a line drawn between the point in auxiliary link 29 connected to link 28 and pivot junction 29P.
  • auxiliary blade guard 26 will move as lower blade guard 25 is rotating to expose the blade 23.
  • lower blade guard 25 moves over upper blade guard 27 and underneath auxiliary blade guard 26 when rotating.
  • blade guard assembly covers more periphery of the blade 23 when the saw assembly 20 is in the upper position, while exposing more periphery of blade 23 (thus increasing cutting capacity) when the saw assembly 20 is in the lower position.
  • a handle 35 may be rotatably attached to link 28.
  • a pull link 36 may be pivotally attached to handle 35 at one end and to auxiliary link 29 at the other end. With such arrangement, the user can rotate handle 35 to lift auxiliary blade guard 26 and/or lower blade guard 25.
  • lower blade guard 25 and/or auxiliary blade guard 26 may be contacting the underside of table 11.
  • Lower blade guard 25 and/or auxiliary blade guard 26 may prevent saw assembly 20 from beveling. The user can reach underneath table 11, pull handle 35, lifting auxiliary blade guard 26 and/or lower blade guard 25, allowing the saw assembly 20 to bevel.
  • an uplock assembly 40 may be provided on upper blade guard 27 to prevent saw assembly 20 from pivoting downwardly towards table 11 when saw 100 is being used in miter saw mode.
  • Uplock assembly 40 may include a lever 41 disposed near handle 50 and pivotably connected to upper blade guard 27, a guard lock 43 pivotably attached to upper blade guard 27 and rotatable between a first position engaging lower blade guard 25 and a second position not engaging lower blade guard 25, and a link 42 connected to lever 41 at one end and to guard lock 43 at the other end.
  • guard lock 43 With such arrangement, the user would need to rotate lever 41 towards handle 50, causing guard lock 43 to rotate towards the second position, i.e., away from lower blade guard 25, allowing lower blade guard 43 to rotate and thus allowing saw assembly 20 to rotate downwardly. If the user does not rotate lever 41 as described above, guard lock 43 will engage lower blade guard 25, not allowing lower blade guard 25 to rotate and not allowing saw assembly 20 to rotate downwardly.
  • guard lock 43 may be designed to engage auxiliary blade guard 26 instead of or in addition to lower blade guard 25, and yet achieve the same result, i.e., not allowing saw assembly 20 to rotate downwardly until guard lock 43 is moved to the second position.
  • a spring should be provided to bias guard lock 43 towards the first position.
  • a spring can be provided to lever 41 to bias it away from handle 50.
  • Dust duct assembly 60 is preferably provided on arm 22 to replace the typical rear guard.
  • dust duct assembly 60 may have two walls 61 substantially parallel to blade 23. These walls 61 are connected to a dust duct 63. Persons skilled in the art will recognize that walls 61 preferably define a chamber therebetween that is connected to a dust exhaust channel within dust duct 63. Preferably part of the periphery of blade 23 extends into such chamber.
  • Each wall 61 may have a secondary wall 62 extending towards blade 23.
  • Secondary walls 62 may act as blade calipers, limiting the sideways motion of blade 23.
  • secondary walls 62 may contact the body of blade 23 before the blade's teeth contact upper blade guard 27, lower blade guard 25 and/or auxialiary blade guard 26.
  • Persons skilled in the art will recognize secondary walls will not necessarily lower the amount of dust received by the chamber (and/or by dust duct 63) as the blade periphery is preferably disposed between the dust duct 63 and the secondary walls 62.
  • Dust duct 63 may extend past and/or through arm 22, and may be connected to a hose connected to a vacuum source, or to an elbow 64 for redirecting the flow of dust moving through dust duct 63.
  • dust duct 63 extends past, rather than through, arm 22. In this manner dust duct 63 does not interfere with the spring (not shown) biasing arm 22 (and saw assembly 20) to the upper position.
  • walls 65 pivotably attached to dust duct 63.
  • walls 65 may be pivotably attached to walls 61.
  • a wall 65 is disposed adjacent to a wall 61 and/or on each side of dust duct 63. Both walls 65 may be connected via a boss 65B. Boss 65B may travel along an arcuate slot 61 S disposed on both walls 61.
  • movable walls 65 can pivot from a lower position to an upper position.
  • at least one spring 67 biases walls 65 towards the lower position.
  • Walls 65 can pivot upwardly when lower blade guard 25 is in the original position contacting walls 65 (see FIG. 2A ).
  • Walls 65 can also pivot upwardly when one wall 65 contacts a fence 16 during a beveling operation.
  • a resilient flap 66 may be connected to dust duct 63.
  • flap 66 is disposed underneath walls 61 and 65 to provide a bottom wall to the chamber defined by walls 61.
  • dust duct 63 and/or walls 61 may be attached to arm 22.
