BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention


Embodiments of the present invention generally relate to a saw. More particularly, embodiments of the present invention relate to a type of saw that can perform multi-angle cuts with respect to various types of materials in various shapes.


2. Description of the Related Art


Saws are popular tools used in daily life. UK Patent Application No. 2353756, c1.B23D49/10, 07.03.2001/filed in 2001 describes a saw that includes a handle, saw blade, guide block, and return mechanism.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

A detailed description will now be provided. Each of the appended claims defines a separate saw, which for infringement purposes is recognized as including equivalents to the various elements or limitations specified in the claims. Depending on the context, all references below to the “saw” may in some cases refer to certain specific embodiments only. In other cases it will be recognized that references to the “saw” will refer to subject matter recited in one or more, but not necessarily all, of the claims. Each of the saws will now be described in greater detail below, including specific embodiments, versions and examples, but the saws are not limited to these embodiments, versions or examples, which are included to enable a person having ordinary skill in the art to make and use the saws, when the information in this patent is combined with available information and technology.


In one or more embodiments, a saw is provided that has a small volume and can perform multi-angle cutting. In one or more embodiments, the saw blade can change angles.


In one or more embodiments herein, the saw can perform multi-angle cutting and includes a handle, a locking bolt, a saw blade, a guide block, and a return mechanism. The saw blade can be installed in the horizontal saw blade hole of the handle through the locking bolt. The guide block, which can be parallel to the saw blade and can rotate along with the saw blade and can penetrate through the handle, can be installed in the horizontal guide hole on the bottom surface of the horizontal saw blade hole in the handle. The saw blade can pass through the saw slot at the upper end of a support frame. The support frame, which can move along the saw blade together with the guide block, can be installed at the end of the guide block. The return mechanism, which is installed inside the upper end of the handle and can drive the guide block to move, can be connected to the spring clip at the other end of the guide block. A position limiting device, which can stop movement of the guide block, can be installed at the lower end of the support frame. A hole can be formed outside the horizontal guide hole at the upper end of the handle. A horizontal stop piece can be installed outside the horizontal guide hole.


In one or more embodiments above or elsewhere herein, a vertical guide hole and a vertical saw blade hole that are parallel to one another can be formed in the handle. A vertical stop piece can be installed on one side of the vertical guide hole at the lower end of the handle. A saw blade slot can be formed at the upper end of the aforementioned support frame.


In one or more embodiments, the guide block can protect the saw blade when it is not in use. When the saw is in use, the horizontal stop piece can be lifted. The return mechanism can make the guide block move. Guide block movement can be stopped by the position limiting device. The saw blade can be exposed to perform cross-cutting. In one or more embodiments, if the lock nut is unfastened, the guide block and the saw blade can rotate. After they are rotated to a desired angle and the lock nut is fastened, the saw can perform cutting again. In one or more embodiments, the saw blade can insert into the vertical guide hole and the vertical saw blade hole to perform longitudinal cutting. The lock nut can be unfastened to push both the guide block and the saw blade into the handle. After they have contact with the position limiting device, the lock nut can be fastened to reduce the volume of the entire product so that it can be transported easily.


In one or more embodiments, the present saw includes advantages of saw teeth protection from damage, realization of multi-angle cutting, and easy transport.

Saw blade 3 can pass through saw blade slot 10 at the upper end of support frame 9. Support frame 9 can be installed at the end of guide block 4. Support frame 9, which can move along saw blade 3 together with guide block 4, can be installed at the end of guide block 4. Return mechanism 5 can be installed inside the upper end of handle I and can be connected to spring clip 15 at the other end of guide block 4 and can drive guide block 4 to move. Position limiting device 6 can be installed at the lower end of support frame 9 and can stop movement of guide block 4. Hole 16 can be formed outside the horizontal guide hole 8 at the upper end on handle 1. Horizontal stop piece 11 can be installed outside horizontal guide hole 8.


In one or more embodiments, a vertical guide hole 12 and a vertical saw blade hole 13 that are parallel to one another can also form in handle 1. Vertical stop piece 14 can be installed on one side of vertical guide hole 12 at the lower end of handle 1. In one or more embodiments, when the saw is not in use, guide block 4 can protect saw blade 3 and horizontal stop piece 11 can press down to fix the guide block.



FIG. 3 shows a schematic illustration of a structure when cross-cutting is performed according to one or more embodiments described. FIG. 3 also depicts a state when the saw performs transversal cutting. Saw blade 3 can be perpendicular to handle 1. Horizontal stop piece 1 can be lifted. Return mechanism 5 can make guide block 4 move, and the movement can be stopped by position limiting device 6. Saw blade 3 can be exposed to perform cutting.



FIG. 4 shows a schematic illustration of a structure when longitudinal cutting is performed according to one or more embodiments described. Lock nut 2 can be unfastened so that guide block 4 and saw blade 3 can rotate. After they are rotated to a desired angle, lock nut 2 can be fastened, and the saw can perform cutting again. In one or more embodiments, the guide block 4 and saw blade 3 can be inserted into vertical guide hole 12 and vertical saw blade hole 13. Saw blade 3 can be in parallel with handle 1 to perform longitudinal cutting.



FIG. 5 shows a schematic illustration of a structure when the guide block and the saw blade are pushed into the handle according to one or more embodiments described. In one or more embodiments, to transport the saw, lock nut 2 can be unfastened to push both guide block 4 and saw blade 3 into handle 1. After they have contact with position limiting device 6, lock nut 2 can be fastened to reduce the volume of the entire product. In one or more embodiments, the present saw can be used to perform multi-angle cutting with respect to various types of materials in various shapes.
