  • Patent number: 4455908
    Abstract: Pairs of parallel rods spaced from each other along the path of miter saw movement for the saw to pass between them. At least one roller is mounted on each rod in a pair. The rollers have a plurality of axially spaced apart annular grooves that are occupied by resilient or elastomeric rings such that corresponding rings on one roller are in tangential contact, or nearly so, with the rings on the other. The rings yield when a saw blade is inserted between them to maintain opposing forces on the sides of the blade for constraining it to move in a single plane.

  • Patent number: 4428266
    Abstract: A frame for holding a mitering saw blade has an end member in which there is a longitudinally extending hole whose axis is spaced from and parallel to the blade. The hole serves as a bearing. The saw handle has a shaft extending from it. The shaft is journaled in the bearing hole and secured against withdrawal. Thus, the frame and handle can swivel relative to each other about a longitudinal axis.

  • Patent number: 4236702
    Abstract: A picture frame making tool or jig comprises two frame rail clamps interconnected by a scale bar in adjustably spaced relationship. The frame rail clamps have jaws with shoulders adapted to be received in the picture receiving groove of the frame rail, whereby the rail is clamped between its outer edge and at the inside edge of its picture receiving groove. The scale is graduated to read in units of length related to the distance between the corners of the picture receiving groove, whereby the user can saw miter cuts at the ends of the rail, and the cut rail will be of the correct length to receive the picture in its picture receiving groove. The clamps further comprise corner clamps for clamping two miter cut frame rails together in angular relationship for assembly.
