  • Patent number: 4827619
    Abstract: A saw holder includes a handle and a finger-like extension projecting forwardly from a front end of the handle. The handle includes a downwardly open recess for receiving a rear section of a sawblade. A bridge extends transversely across a front end of the recess for supporting the sawblade from beneath. A front portion of the extension includes a downwardly open groove for receiving a front section of the sawblade. A forwardly and downwardly inclined clamping screw is disposed in the handle for applying a downward force to the sawblade along a line of force disposed rearwardly of the point of contact between the sawblade and the bridge so that the force presses the sawblade downwardly against the bridge in a manner swinging the front section of the sawblade upwardly about that contact point and into contact with an upper surface of the groove.
