## Title
Guidance assembly for circular saws

## Abstract

A guidance assembly for circular saws includes a monobloc structural unit that incorporates a first, discontinuous annular subassembly and a second, flat inverted at 90 degrees U-shape elongated frame subassembly. A pair of angle beams is spacedly adjustable that is positionally adaptable to support various bases of circular saws. The guidance assembly further includes a fence subassembly, placed beneath the monobloc structural unit, with which is interconnected and cooperates. To prepare the cutting operation, the blade angle of a circular saw is matched to the required angle by rotating first and second subassemblies relatively to fence subassembly. For cutting, a wooden board is placed under first and second subassemblies, so that, laterally, is positioned against a first and a second hollow bars of fence subassembly.

## Background
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION
This application claims the benefit of priority on the basis of Canadian Patent Application No. 2,859,507 filed on Aug. 14, 2014
I. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates, in general, to devices for guiding power tools with respect to workpieces, and, more specifically, to a guidance assembly for circular saws.
2. Description of the Prior Art
In construction and woodworking fields use is made of portable hand-held power tool, such as circular saws, jigsaws, routers, etc., and/or larger “fixed-bed” power tools. While the hand-held power tools are common due to their portability and low cost, the fixed-bed tools that are more expensive and cumbersome are more preferred due to the precise position of a workpiece with respect to the power tool blade, resulting in a precise cut. However, fixed-bed units require fixed locations and larger working spaces.
Attempts have been made to eliminate or at least to alleviate this the above situation. Thus, for example, U.S. Pat. No. 8,047,113, granted on Nov. 1, 2011 to Nilsen for a “GUIDE FOR HAND-HELD POWER TOOL” discloses a cross-cut apparatus. The latter comprises a guide system including a housing, a guide element mounted on the housing and a linear guide rail mounted on the housing. The apparatus further includes a workpiece coupler defining a desired processing angle and an attachment system, coupled to the housing, for fixing the tool to the guide system. The main disadvantages of this guide reside in the fact that the use is limited to right angle cuts and in the fact that the guide must be mechanically attached to the power tool.
Another example is U.S. Pat. No. 8,573,101, granted on Nov. 5, 2013 to Thomaschewski for a “METHOD AND DEVICE FOR GUIDING A SAW BLADE” describes a device including: a base body having a guide slot, the base body having a first guide surface; and an angle stop comprising a second guide surface. The main shortcomings of the device reside in the fact it requires an additional stabilization, since both hands are on the tool; and that due to the guide arrangement provides a limited versatility.
II. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Based on the state of the art, there is a need for an improved guidance assembly for circular saws that surmounts the existing disadvantages.
Thus, ii is an objective of the present invention to devise a guidance assembly that is precise and reliable.
It is another objective of the present invention to devise a guidance assembly that is portable and easy to use.
Generally stating, the present invention refers to guidance assembly for circular saws, which comprises a monobloc structural unit, which incorporates a first and a second subassembly and is interconnected and cooperates with a fence subassembly,
First subassembly comprises a discontinuous annular flat member having a center of symmetry, a first upside face, a second bottom face and terminating laterally and backwards in an upper end and a lower end.
Second subassembly comprises a flat, inverted at 90 degrees U-shape elongated frame, extends frontwards, towards the discontinuous annular flat member, is defined by a horizontal, longitudinal axis of symmetry and includes an upper arm ending in a top end and a lower arm ending in a bottom end. The upper end interpenetrates with the top end and the lower end interpenetrates with the bottom end, thus forming the monobloc structural unit.
Other the fact, that the upper arm, via the top end, basically interconnects with the upper end along their respective widths, a narrow strip, detached from the upper arm, extends beneath it, horizontally and forwards into an interior of the discontinuous annular flat member.
The center of symmetry of the discontinuous annular flat member is so displaced vertically and downwards with respect to the horizontal, longitudinal axis of symmetry, that a positional eccentricity is created.
The lower arm, via the bottom end, after combining with the lower end, continues laterally, forwards until it intersects a curvilinear, concave, interior surface of the discontinuous annular flat member.
An upper circular through slot and a lower circular through slot, both located in and being concentric with the discontinuous annular flat member, traverse zones of the latter, respectively a top zone and a bottom zone.
An upwardly directed arrow mark engraved immediately above the upper circular through slot and centered on the vertical diameter that passes through the center of symmetry of the discontinuous annular flat member. Angle-indicating, equidistantly engraved marks incrementally extend at the left and right of the upwardly directed arrow mark, being preceded by an engraved inscription “HIP OR VALLEY”. The upwardly directed arrow mark, the angle-indicating, equidistantly engraved marks and the previously mentioned inscription being all disposed on an arc of a circle.
A zero mark, engraved as “0”, coincides vertically with the upwardly directed arrow mark and is flanked, at left and right up to 90°, by a series of engraved, angle-indicating marks. The series of engraved, angle-indicating marks, at the left, is preceded by an engraved inscription “ROOF PITCH”. The zero mark, engraved as “0” and the series of equidistantly engraved, angle-indicating marks are all disposed on an arc of a circle adjacent to external periphery of the discontinuous annular flat member.
The engraved mark 90 coinciding with the vertical diameter of the discontinuous annular flat member, is disposed above and in contact with the lower circular through slot, in proximity of internal periphery of the discontinuous annular flat member. The first series of decremental marks, equidistantly engraved, adjacent to an external periphery of the discontinuous annular flat member, extends upwardly from a 90 engraved mark, being collinear with the engraved mark 90, up to a “0” (zero) mark, while a second series of decremental marks; equidistantly engraved, adjacent to the external periphery of the discontinuous annular flat member, extends downwards from the 90 engraved mark, above mentioned, up to a mark 60.
A bracket, perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of symmetry of the flat, inverted at 90 degrees U-shape elongated frame, is placed in an interior of the discontinuous annular flat member, close, at the left, to the internal periphery of the latter, and is delimited vertically, at its upper part, by the narrow strip and at its lower part by the interior of the discontinuous annular flat member. A web, which is a mirror image of the bracket, is situated at the farthest right extremity of the inverted at 90 degrees U-shape elongated frame;
The bracket and the web incorporate, at their ends, a pair of elongated through-passage openings provided with chamfered edges. The bracket and the web have their underside retracted from the second bottom face;
A rigidity wall, retracted from the first upside face, encompasses the flat, inverted at 90 degrees U-shape elongated frame which is located in the interior of the discontinuous annular flat member. A pair of stiffening ribs joining the interior of the discontinuous annular flat member with the flat, inverted at 90 degrees U-shape elongated frame, respectively via the bracket and the narrow strip, coincide directionally, one of the pair of stiffening ribs—with vertical diameter and the other one of the pair of stiffening ribs with horizontal diameter of the discontinuous annular flat member. The pair of stiffening ribs protrudes from the rigidity wall and extend upwards up to the first upside face;
A pair of angle beams, each one of the pair of angle beams being provided with unequal legs, one vertical leg and the other-horizontal leg. The vertical leg is provided with flat ends at both extremities. The vertical leg of one of the pair of angle beams is so positioned as to face another vertical leg of the other of the pair of angle beams. Each flat end is provided with a threaded opening. Screws with countersunk heads are inserted via the pair of elongated and spaced through-passage openings, located at the extremities of the bracket and of the web and provided with chamfered edges and, then, tightened into the threaded openings, distances between the vertical legs being adjustable so that the pair of angle beams is adaptable to receive various circular saws with various bases. A thickness of the pair of angle beams is so chosen that the latter does not protrude beyond the second bottom face;
The second bottom face of the monobloc structural unit is formed by a flat surface interrupted by a rectangular opening delimited by internal edges of the bracket and the web, by internal edges of the upper arm and of the narrow strip, detached from the upper arm, and by internal edge of the lower arm which via the bottom end, after interconnecting the lower end, continues laterally and forwards until it intersects a curvilinear, concave, interior surface of the discontinuous annular flat member. The flat surface is interrupted by a ring type channel having a U-shape cross section. The ring type channel extends outside, at a relative short distance from of the upper circular through slot and the lower circular through slot. An internal edge of the ring type channel is coplanar with the second bottom face, while an external edge of the ring type channel is somewhat retracted with respect to the internal edge. The external edge extends outwardly into an external ring with which is coplanar;
The external ring extends backwardly, at both external margins of the upper arm and the lower arm, by elongated strips, both coplanar with the external ring;
The fence subassembly, which is interconnected and cooperates with the first and second subassemblies that constitute a monobloc structural unit, comprises an annular flat segment provided on its top side with planar circular zones projecting beyond the annular flat segment and shaped and sized for engaging the ring type channel and, respectively, the external ring. A first hollow bar, having a rectangular cross-section and extending from both sides of a right extremity of annular flat segment, is so attached to the annular flat segment that their upper surfaces are coplanar. An internal end of the first hollow bar, at the right, is so cut off that an obtuse angle is formed. A second hollow bar, having, as well, the previously mentioned rectangular cross-section and extending from both sides of a left extremity of the annular segment is so attached to the annular flat segment that their upper surfaces are coplanar. An internal end of the second hollow bar being so cut off, at the left, that an acute angle is formed. A pair of screws securely attached vertically to the annular flat segment is so spaced as to penetrate through the upper circular through slot and the lower circular through slot: A pair of threaded coupling pieces together with the pair of screws are used to positionally secure the fence subassembly to the first and second subassemblies. First hollow bar is provided outside the annular flat segment, at the left, with a plurality of indicating marks extending from “9” to “20”.
