  • Patent number: 9114465
    Abstract: A three dimensional article and corresponding kit containing such an article exhibiting an upper accessible slot communicating with a three dimensional interior recess for receiving a likewise configured arcuate inserting portion of a circular saw blade. A volume of a cleaning solution is deposited upon interior surfaces of the article exposed to the interior recess and, upon insertion of the blade, the cleaning solution acts to remove sap and other build up contaminants typically associated with certain varieties of natural wood. The lengthwise extending surface configuration of the recess is further such that it exerts an inwardly opposing/biasing force to the inserted circular blade, this serving to retain the blade in place and further as it is slowly rotated throughout a 360° cycle to evenly clean all the perimeter extending teeth. Cleaning brushes and brush keys are also provided in the kit for assisting in cleaning the individual teeth.
