Patent number: 6772749Abstract: A band saw with a complex coordination of a tilting motion and a translational motion between the workpiece and the band saw blade, so that a curved cut is made in the workpiece. The geometric parameters of the cut can be continuously adjusted. This makes it possible to optimize a contact length of the saw blade in the workpiece, which is an important factor in the cutting process. It is thus possible to saw workpieces made of stone and similar materials that are typically difficult to cut. The cut and the contact length of the saw blade can be tailored individually to each workpiece to be sawed. Thus, workpieces of different geometrical dimensions and different material properties, in particular with different material hardnesses, can be processed using the band saw according to the invention without having to undertake significant changes.Type: GrantFiled: August 22, 2002Date of Patent: August 10, 2004Assignee: Keuro Besitz GmbH & Co.

Patent number: 6267037Abstract: An underwater apparatus for servicing subsea pipelines provides a telescoping frame which can be lowered to the vicinity of the pipeline. The frame has an open section so that it can straddle the pipeline and outer jacket and fixate itself releasably so that it can be selectively repositioned. A cutting apparatus is secured to a telescoping sub frame. The cutting structure can be rotated about the longitudinal axis of the sub frame, as well as advanced along the direction of the longitudinal axis of the frame due to the telescoping feature of the sub frame. The cutting structure can also be moved pivotally about an axis of rotation which is outside and generally perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the pipe. Thus, combining the telescoping feature with the pivoting feature and the feature of being able to rotate about the longitudinal axis, a variety of different cuts can be made.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 1999Date of Patent: July 31, 2001Assignee: Oceaneering International, Inc.Inventors: Richard W. McCoy, Jr., Luis J. Gutlerrez

Patent number: 5243892Abstract: A portable saw mill frame is disclosed which has a frame base of a generally rectangular, elongated configuration. It is comprised of preferably three subsections bolted to each other and easily disconnected. An inverted U-shaped frame is supported by a carriage rolling along side tracks defined by the frame base. It has a cross-beam supporting a transversely slidable holder for a chain saw. The device is substantially sturdier than prior art portable saw mill frames.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 1992Date of Patent: September 14, 1993Assignees: George Bosak, George Sigmund, Josef JindraInventor: Josef Jindra

Patent number: 5213022Abstract: The invention is a portable band sawmill which is able to make bi-directional horizontal cuts, as well as vertical cuts. A special carriage with a U-shaped inner member pivotally connecting two band saw wheel support members makes this possible. The wheel support members of the saw blade carriage are pivotally connected at one end to traveler assemblies which are, in turn, movably connected to vertical members of a generally rectangular, vertical sub-frame. The sub-frame spans the width of, and is, in turn, movably connected at two or more points, at least one on each side, to a generally rectangular horizontal main-frame. The horizontal main-frame supports a log to be cut. The vertical sub-frame is moved back and forth on the main-frame to provide horizontal cuts. The saw blade carriage is moved up and down on the vertical sub-frame by the traveler assemblies to provide horizontal cuts at different heights, and/or vertical cuts. The saw blade carriage, which supports the band saw, can rotate 0.degree.-180.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 1992Date of Patent: May 25, 1993Inventor: Douglas L. Elgan

Patent number: 4660454Abstract: A portable bandsaw mill, readily made sufficiently light in weight to be carried by two people, having a saw unit supported on rollers, so that the saw unit can be readily guided and the cut controlled and adjusted manually. A ground-supported support frame or unit provides guide tracks spaced apart on opposite sides of a log or other workpiece, on which the saw unit can be rollingly advanced. The ends of the guide tracks are supported in end frames by structure enabling the levels of the guide tracks to be conveniently adjusted for successively lower passes of the saw unit through the log. Guide beam ends are capable of independent adjustment to accommodate differences in level between the four corners of the support unit. A manually advanced rolling saw head of the saw unit includes two bandsaw pulleys, each having a bandsaw blade entrained thereon, one being an idler pulley and the other a drive pulley.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 1984Date of Patent: April 28, 1987Inventor: Paul Elsey

Patent number: 4640171Abstract: A band saw, especially intended for sawing logs with the grain or dividing wood blocks, comprising upper and lower band pulleys (6,4) which can be adjusted relative to one another. Extending around the pulleys is an endless, band-like saw blade (11) which is driven by one (4) of the bandpulleys. The lower band pulley (4) is journalled in a frame structure (3) which can be moved along two mutually parallel guides (13,14) extending at right angles to the feed direction of the material to be sawn. The frame structure carries a post (5) which in turn carries at the top thereof the other band pulley (6). In accordance with the invention the one guide (14) is located substantially vertically above the other guide (13), suitably so that the two guides (13,14) are located in a common vertical plane which passes vertically through the post (5).Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 1985Date of Patent: February 3, 1987Assignee: AB A.K.
