Abstract: The present invention is a knife assembly for a chipping canter or a mechanically similar device. In its basic form it comprises four parts: a knife holder, a knife, a knife retaining pull down block, and a tapered draw bolt to tighten the assembly. The knife holder is constructed to engage a conventional seat in a chipper head segment. It has an arcuate front surface to receive the knife element. The knife element has a rib on its rear surface which has a dovetail or T-shaped flange. The pull down block is similarly configured with a female dovetail or T-slot to grasp the rib flange on the back of the knife holder. A tapered bolt is threaded into the knife holder and passes through a similarly tapered hole in the pull down block. As the bolt is screwed into the knife holder, the pull down block and encompassed knife element are drawn to the rear where they are tightly frictionally held against the knife holder.

Abstract: A printing apparatus includes a print roller, a platen roller and an ink roller mounted between a pair of upright supports secured to a support surface. The platen roller is resiliently biased against the print roller, and is preferably supported independently of the upright supports by a spring-biased lever and cam assembly. The printing apparatus is especially constructed for printing accordian arrays of cards, having delicate masking material thereon, and includes a feed tray with a feed stop and a take-up tray with a take-up stop each located at a position within a defined ratio with respect to the length of a single card in the array. The platen roller is preferably biased within a selected range to prevent damage to the masking material. A drive mechanism rotates the print roller which, in turn, drives the platen roller either by direct pressure or through gears.

Abstract: A grinding machine for grinding teeth in a saw including saw advancing means having clamp mechanism for engaging a saw. The clamp mechanism is then moved to rotate the saw past an indexing means, which is followed by movement in the opposite direction to position the saw.

Abstract: A dual side saw tooth grinding machine with power-driven grinding wheel assemblies mounted on pivoted supporting arms organized so that edge portions of grinding wheels in the assemblies are moved in sweeps across opposite sides of a tip in a saw tooth when grinding the same.
