Patent number: 10035204Abstract: A circular saw blade indexing assembly includes a base and a circular saw blade mounting assembly connected to the base and having a saw hub configured to support a circular saw blade. The circular saw blade indexing assembly includes an indexing mechanism connected to the base and having a feed finger disposed at a radial distance from the saw hub, the feed finger configured to rotate the circular saw blade about the saw hub between a first arc position and a second arc position. The circular saw blade indexing assembly includes a radius adjustment mechanism configured to adjust a relative longitudinal position between the saw hub of the circular saw blade mounting assembly and the feed finger of the indexing mechanism.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2016Date of Patent: July 31, 2018Assignee: Simonds International, LLCInventors: David Gilman, Jeremiah Gilbert, Marc Elkins, Derek Clark, Larry McMaster

Patent number: 9527147Abstract: A circular saw blade indexing assembly includes a frame and a circular saw blade mounting assembly coupled to the frame. The circular saw blade mounting assembly includes a shaft configured to support a circular saw blade and that extends along a longitudinal axis defined by the circular saw blade mounting assembly. The circular saw blade indexing assembly includes an indexing mechanism rotatably coupled to the circular saw blade mounting assembly and having a feed finger disposed at a radial distance from the longitudinal axis. The indexing mechanism is configured to rotate about the longitudinal axis between a first arc position and a second arc position to rotate a saw blade between the first arc position and the second arc position.Type: GrantFiled: May 30, 2014Date of Patent: December 27, 2016Assignee: Simonds International LLCInventors: David Gilman, Jeremiah Gilbert, Marc Elkins

Patent number: 7861617Abstract: A hand-operated swage device includes a first hand-operated actuator and a second hand operated actuator that, when actuated together, control the sequential operation of a clamping mechanism and a swaging mechanism of the hand-operated swage device. For example, the first actuator of the swage device is disposed on a first handle while the second actuator is disposed on a second handle of the swage device. To operate the hand-operated swage device, an operator grasps the first handle with one hand and grasps the second handle with his other hand to actuate both of the actuators in a substantially simultaneous manner. Actuation of both actuators controls sequential delivery of pressurized air to a first pneumatic device mechanically coupled to the clamping mechanism and to a second pneumatic device mechanically coupled to the swaging mechanism.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2007Date of Patent: January 4, 2011Assignee: Simonds International, Inc.Inventors: James S. Weatherly, Sr., Gregory S. Richardson, Paul Gardner, Norman Andrew Brown, Marc Elkins, Roy Erdwins, Robert L. Woods

Patent number: 7854183Abstract: A swage anvil includes a coupling portion that, when mated with a corresponding die of a swaging device, allows lateral positioning of the swage anvil (i.e., substantially parallel to a long axis of the saw blade) relative to the long axis of the saw blade. The swage anvil also includes a tooth contact face that substantially mirrors an angle of the back portion of each tooth of the saw blade. As such, after a manufacturer inserts the swage anvil into the swage device and laterally translates the swage anvil, the tooth contact face abuts the back portion of the saw blade tooth to support the tooth during a swaging procedure. With the aforementioned configuration of the swage anvil, translation of the swage anvil along a single axis provides support to the back portion of the saw blade tooth along two axes. As such, use of the swage anvil decreases the set-up time required in conventional swaging devices.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2007Date of Patent: December 21, 2010Assignee: Simonds Industries, Inc.Inventors: James S.
