  • Patent number: 7497154
    Abstract: A hand-guided power reciprocating saw has a machine housing, a saw blade drivable by a motor into a stroke motion, a guide device having two guide elements resting against the saw blade at opposite sides of the saw blade and operative for guiding and supporting the saw blade crosswise to a sawing direction, the guiding device further having a two-armed pivot lever with lever arms on each of which a corresponding one of the guide elements is situated, the guiding device also having an adjusting mechanism for adjusting a transverse spacing between the guide elements, a holder in which the guide device is integrated and which is configured to be mounted in the machine housing and/or to a base plate attached to the machine housing, the pivot lever being pivotally supported on the holder and the adjusting mechanism being accommodated in the holder.

  • Patent number: 7451546
    Abstract: A hand-held jigsaw machine includes a machine housing (11), a saw blade (13) that is drivable in a reciprocating manner by a motor, a support device (20) with a support roller (23) that supports the saw blade on its back (132), and a holder (22) that is fixed to the machine housing (11) and accommodates the support roller (23) between two arms (222, 223), and a guide device (21) for guiding and supporting the saw blade (13) transversely to the saw direction with guide elements (24, 25) on opposite sides of the saw blade (13) at an adjustable distance from each other. To ensure economical production of the support and guide device and to reduce the number of components required, the guide device (21) is integrated in the holder (22) of the support device (20).

  • Publication number: 20080052921
    Abstract: A base plate (20) for a power scroll saw is disclosed, which has a through opening (15) for a saw blade (13) that is drivable in a reciprocating motion by the power scroll saw. To prevent defective straight cuts and laterally obliquely extending cuts, especially in thick material to be cut, from lateral deflection of the tip of the saw blade in sawing, a guide device (21) with guide elements (22, 23) protruding into the through opening (15) is integrated with the base plate (20). With power scroll saws that have no guide device for laterally guiding the saw blade (13), an improved outcome of sawing can be attained by simply replacing its base plate for the novel base plate (20) disclosed here (FIG. 2).

  • Publication number: 20070282951
    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing a cross-domain, remote terminal secure browse capability are disclosed. The Collaborate-Access-Browse (CAB) Cross-Domain Solution (CDS) enables high-side users to browse low-side material with the same privileges as any other low-side user. The Assured File Transfer (AFT) CDS allows the high-side user to initiate file transfers from the low side to the high side so the browser-found data can be manipulated on the high side if needed. AFT provides for a bi-directional file exchange. High-side users can also initiate a file exchange from their high side to the low side, assuming the file contains only the appropriately classified information.
