Abstract: A multi-hole punch and ruler combination which is especially adapted for storage in and use with a multi-ring binder. The ruler provides a receptacle for receiving the punched out paper chips, as well as a plurality of retention tabs and support tabs for securing the punch in the receptacle in a press fit engagement which may be readily released by the user when desired. The punch comprises relatively low profile upper and lower portions, the lower portion having a defined paper receiving area with front and side edge borders for accurately aligning the edge of the paper relative to the punch members. The lower portion also provides a plurality of cantilevered fingers for receiving the paper edge adjacent the punch holes through which punch members on the upper portion of the punch can protrude and cut or punch holes in the paper sheets received by the punch of the invention. These fingers hold the edge of the paper sheet to separate the sheet from the punch members after the sheet has been punched.

Abstract: A bracket for supporting a hand shower adjacent a wall has a base part adapted to be fixed to the wall, formed with a throughgoing passage extending along a horizontal axis generally parallel to the wall, and having axially oppositely directed sides. A holder part pivotal on the base part about the axis on one of the axial sides of the base part is formed on the axis with an upwardly open seat adapted to receive the hand shower. A bolt extending axially through the passage has to the other axial side of the base part a threaded end and to the one axial side of the base part a radially projecting flange bearing axially toward the base part on the holder part. Interengaging formations on the bolt and base part rotationally fix the bolt in the base part while permitting it to move axially therein. A nut threaded on the threaded end of the bolt and bears axially on the other axial side of the base part.

Abstract: The invention concerns a punch block support arm adaptable to a perforating device as well as a process for mounting punches on such a block. According to the invention, the block comprises a narrow slot (12, 20, 23) across the whole block thickness, and extending on the whole length of the punch array. The slot extends, at each of its ends (23), perpendicular to the alignment axis (26) of the punches (20, 22), in order to define a longitudinal bar (14) and two transversal bars (15, 16), the slot being located so that the distortion of the longitudinal bar brings relatively closer the portions of transversal bars so as to immobilize the punches.

Abstract: A bracket (10) is utilized to mount a mailbox (11) to a wide variety of stanchion configurations (39, 41, 42). The bracket (10) includes opposed side walls (18), opposed end walls (20) and a bottom surface which includes rib members (25). Spaced flanges (35) depend from the bottom of the rib members (25) and have aligned bores (37) therein permitting the bracket (10) to be mounted to a stanchion (42) of one configuration. Apertures (38) in the flanges (35) permit the bracket (10) to be mounted to stanchions (39, 41) of other configurations. Lug members (22) on the side walls (18) are received in apertures (55) in flanges (48) depending from the bottom wall (47) of the mailbox (11) to attach the mailbox (11) to the bracket (10). Holes (56) formed in the flanges (48) and holes (57) formed in additional flanges (52) depending from the bottom wall (47) of the mailbox (11) allow the mailbox (11) to be directly affixed to various stanchion configurations.

Abstract: To permit miter cuts clear through a workpiece, or for selected depths, a saw band carrier (6) supports a pair of saw band wheels (7, 8) above and below a workpiece support (2), and the saw band wheel carrier (6) is pivotable about a substantially vertical axis of rotation (29). The axis of rotation (29) is preferably located at the initial cutting engagement point of an endless saw band (9) looped about the saw band wheels (7, 8), and the pivoting position can be arrested at any desired pivoted or angular position. In addition, the saw band carrier can be arranged to tilt about an essentially horizontal tilt axis.

Abstract: An adjustable protecting guard apparatus for a table saw having a guard positionable over the saw blade. The adjustable protection guard apparatus has a telescoping arm extending from one end of the saw table which supports a guard superstructure. A hinged connection on an edge of the guard superstructure permits the guard superstructure and the attached guard to pivot up and away from the saw blade. A control module simultaneously deactivates the motor rotating the saw blade with the pivoting of the guard superstructure. The control module has a multi-position key switch having a by-pass position permitting pivoting of the guard without de-energizing the motor. This permits difficult cuts to be made which would not be feasible with the guard in place. An anti-kickback pawl is also provided within the guard and prevents the saw from rejecting a workpiece in a direction opposite to its feed direction.

Abstract: A saw blade of the circular type for use in an electric powered saw for cutting arcuate kerfs in lumber includes a central mounting aperture coincident with a first plane perpendicular to a rotational axis, and a blade mounting portion surrounding the mounting aperture and having an annular configuration arcuate in its cross-section from its inner periphery at the aperture to its outer peripheral margin where it joins with an intermediate annular blade portion that extends generally to a second plane generally at the outer peripheral margin of the central blade mounting portion. Joined with the outer peripheral margin of the intermediate blade portion is a toothed outer peripheral portion extending angularly in a truncated cone or dished configuration generally to a third plane on the opposite side of the first plane from the second plane. Appropriately set teeth are formed on the outer periphery of the toothed outer peripheral portion and extend generally to the third plane.

Abstract: A scroll saw having an unlimited throat depth includes upper and lower spaced apart blade arms independently supported and interconnected only by a blade at their forward ends. A spring biases a forward end of the upper blade arm upwardly keeping the blade taut throughout its reciprocation by a motor connected through an eccentric to the lower blade arm. The lower saw unit may be movably positioned on a platform or cart while the upper saw unit is slidably supported on a wall mounted support arm.

Abstract: A blade mount for an I.D. saw blade has an elongated female tensioning ring which has a male pilot lip which fits into a recess in a radial flange of the wheelhead. The male pilot lip and a narrowed annular flexure in the flange of the wheelhead compensate automatically for deflections in the blade mount caused by the tensioned saw blade so as to eliminate saw blade flutter during operation. The female tensioning ring is sized to have a width at least twice the radial thickness thereof so as to resist turning inside out under the tensioning force imposed upon the saw blade.
