  • Patent number: 9185851
    Abstract: A pole saw is provided which allows a saw blade to be manually attached or detached in a simple and easy manner. The pole saw includes the saw blade (10), a long handle (20) provided with one or more stages of poles, and a connecting bracket (30) for attaching the saw blade (10) to the distal end of the long handle (20). The pole saw is configured such that the connection and disconnection between the connecting bracket (30) and the long handle (20) are effected by a combination of pin locking and screw locking, the pin locking being effected by a spring-biased latching pin (40), the screw locking being effected by a dedicated hand screw (50) having a grip head (51).

  • Publication number: 20150217439
    Abstract: A blade-replaceable saw is provided which enables blade replacement work without the need of an additional connecting fitting or the like, facilitates extraction and insertion of saw blades with respect to the grip during that work, and also prevents looseness between the saw blade and the grip even during the use of the saw. The blade-replaceable saw has a saw blade (10) and a grip (20), the saw blade (10) having on its base side a flat insertion handle section (12) configured to be inserted into the grip (20), the grip (20) having a flat insertion slot (22) for receiving the insertion handle section (12) of the saw blade (10), the saw enabling replacement of the saw blade (10). A projection (24) is formed on an inner wall surface (22a) of the flat insertion slot (22) of the grip (20), for reducing the contact area with, and also reducing the contact gap with, the flat insertion handle section (12) of the saw blade (10).

  • Patent number: 9050730
    Abstract: A saw sheath is provided which allows a saw to be inserted easily and smoothly, which prevents the inserted saw from easily falling out or rattling in the sheath, and which can suppress scraping-off of the inner wall by the blade tip of the saw blade caught by the inner wall. The saw sheath (1) includes a flat sheath opening section (10) and a flat main sheath body (20), and a saw blade (31) is inserted into the main sheath body (20) via the sheath opening section (10). The sheath opening section (10) has an opening width that is wider at the entrance and becomes narrower with depth. A pair of guide rollers (11a) are provided at the entrance of the sheath opening section (10), on the respective sides in the width direction of the entrance, and a pair of grip penetration preventing sections (15) are provided behind the pair of guide rollers (11a). Certain spacing between the grip penetration preventing section (15) and the corresponding guide roller (11a) constitutes an elastic grip-fitting space (16).

  • Publication number: 20130298411
    Abstract: Provided are a grip jacket which facilitates formation of a grip, is not easily separated, and is replaceable, and a grip for a cutting tool which exerts an excellent anti-slip effect, does not require insert molding, is low in cost, and is suitable for housing a folding blade as well. The grip jacket (10) to be mounted on a grip body to complete the grip for a cutting tool is made of an elastic body, and has a single-piece construction, with a pair of jacket side sections (110) interconnected by the intermediary of a jacket back section (120). Each jacket side section (110) has a thick-walled section (111) provided along an inner side of its open end (110c), and the thick-walled section (111) is provided with a fitting pocket (112) to be fitted with a fitting protrusion provided on the grip body side. The jacket back section (120) has, on its inner surface, a positioning protrusion (121) to be inserted into a fitting hole provided at the back section of the grip body for performing positioning.
