Abstract: Provided are a cutting guide device for preparing a texture section, which can prepare a texture section manually with a cutting tool such as a pathological knife, in a uniform thickness and in a regular section with neither experience nor skill, a texture section preparing device, and a method for preparing a texture section. The texture section preparing cutting guide device includes a placing base for placing a texture mass directly or indirectly thereon, and a cutting guide cover for preventing the texture mass placed directly or indirectly on the placing base from moving, by holding the texture mass downward. In at least such a portion of the cutting guide cover as to hold the texture mass, there are formed a plurality of slits, into which a knife to be used to cut the texture mass can be inserted. The slits have their intervals set to the thickness of a desired texture section.

Abstract: A miter box having a base and opposed side walls. A one slot in each of the side walls in alignment and coextensive with each other. A channel formed in the base. A holding assembly having a guide extending into the channel and movable along the channel relative one of the side walls. A locking element to lock the holding means at a predetermined position along the channel and at a predetermined space from the side wall.

Abstract: The food holder has two vertical plates, mounted on a base vertically and parallel to each other. The two plates create a gap between the plates where food is held. Knife guides with vertically extending guide slits are provided at both ends of the gap. The two vertical plates are connected to the base in a manner allowing their translational motion in directions which can change the gap size. Additionally, a centering mechanism insures the distance moved by each plate is equal.

Abstract: A carpenter's saw designed for use in beveling the ends or edges to form a miter joint is disclosed. The saw comprises mainly a saw base and a saw support. The saw base includes a horizontal base face having a fan-shaped portion disposed at the center thereof. The saw support is fastened to the fan-shaped portion. A hacksaw is mounted on the saw support. The saw support comprises a suspension arm which is pivoted horizontally to the bottom of the fan-shaped portion. Two seats are separately arranged at both ends of the long axis of the suspension arm. Located on each of the two seats are arc-shaped recesses which have the same curvature radii. Two rotating members are lodged separately in the two arc-shaped recesses in order to rotate along the arc-shaped rails provided. Two support rods are vertically mounted on the rotating members for the hacksaw to be fastened thereon.

Abstract: A laminate cutting apparatus has a support belt supported on a frame for reciprocating horizontally in the longitudinal direction, independently lowerable support plates juxtaposed in the longitudinal direction and retained on the frame for supporting the bottom of a laminate support portion of the belt, suction ports on opposing side portions of the frame for withdrawing air from the interior of the laminate supported on the support portion with its upper and lower surfaces covered with air-impermeable sheets, a longitudinally reciprocated travelling body supported on the frame, a transversely reciprocated cutter head supported on the travelling body, a cutter on the cutter head for being raised and lowered to cut the laminate, recess forming rollers for forming the support portion of the belt into a transversely extending movable recess open at the top, a lower receiving member secured to the travelling body and arranged in parallel with the rollers within the recess, interconnected closure plates within th

Abstract: A true cut bagel and roll slicer is provided and consist of a top hand grip integrally formed onto top of a housing with a pivotable front door to vertically receive a bagel/roll. A knife fits into an elongated vertical slot through the top hand grip and into the housing so as to cut the bagel/roll into two parts.

Abstract: A simplified miter box suitable for use with a conventional carpenter's saw comprises upper and lower relatively rotatable platforms with a pair of radially spaced, upstanding saw guide posts fixed to the lower platform. Each post has a vertical, upwardly open saw guide slot extending therethrough. The slots are radially aligned with each other. The upper platform rotates about the first post and has an outer circular edge captured for sliding movement by a complementary groove in the second post. An upstanding workpiece support is fixed to the upper platform, and an angular scale alignable with a reference mark of the lower platform is inscribed on the upper platform outer edge.

Abstract: A saw support member for supporting a portable power circular saw is pivotably mounted to a platform defining a workpiece support surface. A pair of fences are pivotally connected on a fixed vertical axis to the platform. First and second arcuate guide slots are defined within the platform in arcs concentric about the fence pivot vertical axis. Each fence has spaced apart first and second guide members projecting therefrom into the first and second associated guide slots, respectively, for guiding the movement of the associated fence at spaced locations along its length. Means are provided for releasably restraining each fence from pivotable movement relative to the platform.

Abstract: Saw guide apparatus for longitudinal or near longitudinal saw cuts in an elongate workpiece has a base from which at least one saw guide column projects upwards. The base and said column provide respective horizontal and vertical bounding faces which are coplanar so as to define a vertical support plane against which the elongate workpiece can be placed to depend below the base. Location means are provided to set the position of the workpiece transversely to a saw guide plane defined by said guide columns so that the position of the saw cut in the workpiece can be controlled correspondingly.
