  • Publication number: 20090300926
    Abstract: A hand saw comprising a handle for actuating the hand saw and a saw blade connected to the handle and provided with a toothed cutting edge, the handle comprising a handle grip clasped by the hand of the user to impart an actuating force to the handle, and the handle grip defining a force entry direction in which the actuating force is introduced into the saw blade, wherein when the hand saw is pushed the force entry direction intersects the cutting edge of the saw blade in the region of a first quarter length of the cutting edge near to the handle or in the region of an imaginary elongation of the cutting edge into the handle.

  • Publication number: 20080179801
    Abstract: The invention relates to a clamping and/or bracing tool comprising a connecting or tie rod (7) to which a mobile jaw (13) is fixed, a fixed jaw (5), a transmission mechanism which can be used to move the mobile jaw (13) towards or away from the fixed jaw (5) by moving the connecting or tie rod (7) in a clamping or bracing direction (5), and to apply clamping and/or bracing forces between the jaws (5,13), and a blocking element which is used to block a movement of the connecting or tie rod (7) in an opening direction (O) opposing the clamping or bracing direction (5), in order to maintain clamping and/or bracing forces produced between the jaws (5,13).
