Patent number: 7387056Abstract: Slide compound saws (1, 100, 150) may include a table (3b) defining a table surface. A saw unit (20) may be pivotable relative to the table surface. A first slide bar (31, 51, 251, 351) may be slidably coupled to the table and may be disposed substantially in parallel with the table surface. The first slide bar may define a first sliding distance (S1) of the saw unit in a direction substantially parallel to the table surface. A sliding device (24, 33, 52, 61, 62, 252, 352) may slidably couple the first slide bar to the saw unit. The sliding device may define a second sliding distance (S2) of the saw unit in the direction substantially parallel to the table surface. Preferably, the saw unit can slide up to a distance S1 plus S2 in the direction substantially parallel to the table surface.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2002Date of Patent: June 17, 2008Assignee: Makita CorporationInventor: Hisashi Higuchi

Patent number: 7357057Abstract: A paper cutter includes a base with a rail secured thereon, a slide unit, a cutter seat and at least two blades. The base is provided with the rail for the slide unit to slide thereon. The cutter seat is pivotally connected to the slide unit. The cutter seat is provided with the blades. The slide unit further comprises a one-way locking member therein. The cutter seat comprises locking edges corresponding to the locking member for one-way engagement of the locking member with one of the locking edges. The cutter seat is positioned with respect to the slide unit. By turning the cutter seat towards a reversed direction, the blades are exchangeable. The one-way locking member is a pawl. The pawl is urged by an elastic member towards one-way direction to engage with the locking edge.Type: GrantFiled: January 6, 2006Date of Patent: April 15, 2008Inventor: Tung-Lung Chiang

Patent number: 7347132Abstract: The combination of a sheet cutting apparatus and a tool. The sheet cutting apparatus has a base with a surface for supporting a sheet material operatively positioned upon the base. A rail assembly on the base has a length. The sheet cutting apparatus further includes a blade assembly. The blade assembly has an operative state in which the blade assembly is movable guidingly in a cutting path along the length of the rail assembly to make a cut in a sheet material operatively positioned upon the base, and is repositionable relative to the rail assembly from the operative state into a separated state. The tool is operable by a user to facilitate repositioning of the blade assembly from the operative state into the separated state.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2003Date of Patent: March 25, 2008Assignee: CARL Manufacturing USA Inc.Inventors: Richard J. Schultz, Hideki Koto

Publication number: 20080034936Abstract: A rotary cutting unit for trimming sheet material has a support plate for receiving the sheet material. The rotary cutting device comprises a guide bar with a knife carriage guided displaceably. A rotary knife is rotatably mounted on the knife carriage. The guide bar is guided in guidance devices between an initial raised position raised and a lowered clamping position. The guide bar includes a clamping surface for contact against sheet material. The guide bar has a force impinged upon it by a spring device, in the direction toward the initial position. An actuation device moves the guide bar out of the initial position into the clamping position. The guide bar is clamped in vertically movable fashion between the spring device and a further spring device. The second spring device has a spring action directed oppositely to the first.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 12, 2007Publication date: February 14, 2008Inventor: Bernd Loibl

Patent number: 7267037Abstract: A singulation saw for sawing either substrate or wafers includes a pair of counter-rotating saw blades mounted for independent movement in a vertical direction for alternatively engaging with a substrate to be singulated. The singulation saw further includes a transport system including a pair of substrate carriers reciprocates the substrates. While the first substrate is being cut, the second substrate or other substrate carrier sequentially unloads a cut substrate, loads a new uncut substrate and then moves the uncut substrate to a vision system for determining the position of the substrate relative to the second carrier and then positions the second carrier and its substrate in a standby position ready to be cut by the pair of saw blades that are cutting the first substrate. As the first cut substrate is moved to an unload position, the new uncut substrate is moved into a cutting position.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 2001Date of Patent: September 11, 2007Inventors: David Walter Smith, William Albert Brehm, Steven John DiPrinzio
