Mounting of the circularly fitted inserted tooth of a circular saw

Abstract

Mounting of the circularly fitted inserted tooth of a circular saw. An inserted tooth (4) having a circular mounting surface is mounted on a blade body (1) and into a round-bottomed notch whose opposite edges are parallel. Tooth (4) is locked in the notch by means of a rivet (6) which is positioned in a juncture between the removable tooth and the blade body along a straight portion of the edge of a notch. Such locking facilitates a strong design for said tooth and even a loose tooth can be re-tightened in position by means of the flattening pressure of said rivet.

1. In the mounting of a saw tooth which is inserted on a saw blade:

an arcuate tooth,

a saw blade body having a blade edge,

a tooth notch leading from said blade edge into said saw blade body, said tooth notch having a semi-circular round bottom with opposed straight parallel sides leading from said blade edge and said tooth being fitted under compression in the semi-circular round bottom of said notch on said blade body, there being a juncture between one of the straight parallel sides the tooth and the round bottom of the notch,

and a rivet positioned at said juncture of the tooth and the blade body on the one of the straight parallel sides of said notch.

2. The arrangement set forth in claim 1, wherein there is an arc of working contact between the semi-circular bottom of the notch on the blade body and the tooth of about 180.degree. approximately and said locking rivet being located at least partly outside of said arc of working contact.
