Publication number: 20200353546Abstract: A jig saw including a clamping mechanism for removably clamping a saw blade and a driving mechanism. The clamping mechanism includes an actuating member and a clamping mechanism, the actuating member is configured to rotate about a first axis, thereby driving the clamping mechanism to achieve locking or unlocking of the saw blade. The actuating member includes an inclined surface extending in a rotation direction of the actuating member. The inclined surface cooperates with the clamping mechanism thereby to drive the clamping mechanism when the actuating member rotates. Since the clamping mechanism of the jig saw uses a clamping mechanism to apply pressure to the saw blade from the side, thereby abutting and fixing it on the main body, such a clamping mechanism therefore can be applied to different types of saw blades, regardless of the shape of the end faces of their clamping ends (e.g., V-shaped or U-shaped).Type: ApplicationFiled: May 6, 2020Publication date: November 12, 2020Inventors: Lei HU, Xiao Ping QIU, Ji Zhou YAN
