Patent number: 10967445Abstract: A lubrication system for a saw may include a lubricator that is mechanically linked to a traveling arm of a saw, such as an up-cut saw. Movement of the saw blade through a first path may result automatically in movement of the lubricator through a second path transverse to the first path. This coupled movement may result in a relatively consistent distance between the lubricator and the periphery of the saw blade, especially as compared with a stationary lubricator.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2019Date of Patent: April 6, 2021Assignee: Precision Automation, Inc.Inventors: Spencer B. Dick, Melissa L. Covel

Patent number: 10569434Abstract: A cutting tool is provided which may include a first blade and a second blade rotatably coupled to the first blade. The cutting tool may include a first handle rotatably coupled to the first blade, the first handle rotatable between a deployed position and a folded position, and a second handle rotatably coupled to the second blade, the second handle rotatable between a deployed position and a folded position. The cutting tool may also include a first rotation lock configured to hold the first handle fixed relative to the first blade. The first handle may be configured to be rotatable relative to the first blade in response to the first rotation lock being disengaged. The first rotation lock may be configured to be held in the disengaged position in response to the first handle being disposed between the deployed position and the folded position.Type: GrantFiled: October 13, 2015Date of Patent: February 25, 2020Assignee: LEATHERMAN TOOL GROUP, INC.Inventors: Melissa L. Covel, Tony Steven Peterson
