Description:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
   1. Field of the Invention 
   The present invention relates generally to saw attachments and, more specifically, to a jig for a cut-out tool whereby said cut-out tool is used to cut an identical image of a molding prototype template. The jig is comprised of a base platform having means for mounting said prototype template and means for mounting and securing a work piece thereto. The jig is further comprised of a movable platform having means for engaging said base platform and capable of linear movement relative to said base platform. 
   Slidably attached to the movable platform is the saw mounting platform capable of transverse linear movement relative to the movable platform linear movement with a handle depending therefrom and a saw housing mounted thereon. 
   Pairs of releasably mountable front and back bushings provides means for mounting and retaining various sized cut-out tools within said saw housing having an aperture forming a throughbore for the cut-out tool blade. 
   Extending from the underside of the saw mounting platform is a handle member with stanchion-like elements passing through platform apertures serving as handles for control of the cutting function. 
   The handle member also serves as the base support member for the guide pin fastened at each distal end to the saw mounting platform and handle platform, which in operation resides below the planar surface formed by the top surface of the base platform having the prototype molding template mounted thereon providing means for the guide pin to be supported at both distal ends while tracing the prototype template. 
   Further structural support for the handle member is incorporated by having an “L” shaped wall extending from the handle platform into a dimensionally equivalent cavity formed on the underside of the saw platform. 
   It should be noted that providing mounting and retaining means for the handle member and saw housing, other than permanent connection to the saw housing platform, would provide a knock down tool substantially comprised of flat pieces that may include the opposing saw housing side walls having hinge-like connection with the back wall whereby the saw housing would also lie flat during storage. 
   As previously stated, the base, movable and saw platforms slidably engage each other. This sliding engagement provided by the present invention, in the preferred embodiment occurs in one of two ways. Either a pair of tracks and channels are integrally formed between the base and movable platforms and another pair formed between the movable and saw mounting platforms at the time of fabrication, such as injection molding or slidably engaging tracks having roller or ball bearings located therebetween are positioned and fastened to their respective platform whereby said movable platform is imbued with linear movement relative to the base platform and said saw platform is capable of transverse linear platform movement relative to the movable platform.

   While these saw attachments may be suitable for the purposes for which they were designed, they would not be as suitable for the purposes of the present invention, as hereinafter described. 
   SUMMARY OF THE PRESENT INVENTION 
   The present invention discloses an attachment for a cut-out tool whereby the cut-out tool is used to cut an identical image of a molding prototype template into a work piece. The attachment is comprised of a base platform having means for mounting the prototype template and means for mounting and securing a work piece thereto. The attachment is further comprised of a movable platform having means for engaging the base platform and capable of linear movement relative to the base platform. Slidably attached to the movable platform is the saw mounting platform capable of transverse linear movement relative to the movable platform with a handle depending therefrom and a saw attachment means mounted thereon. Pairs of releasably mountable front and back bushings provide means for mounting and retaining various sized cut-out tools within the saw housing having an aperture forming a throughbore for the cut-out tool bit. Extending from the underside of the saw mounting platform is a handle member with stanchion-like elements passing through platform apertures serving as handles for control of the cutting function. The handle member also serves as the base support member for the guide pin fastened at each distal end to the saw mounting platform and handle platform, which in operation resides below the planar surface formed by the top surface of the base platform having the prototype molding template mounted thereon providing means for the guide pin to be supported at both distal ends while tracing the prototype template. Further structural support for the handle members is incorporated by having an “L”-shaped wall extending from the handle platform into a dimensionally equivalent cavity formed on the underside of the saw platform. 
   A primary object of the present invention is to provide a coping saw jig that is inexpensive to manufacture. 
   Another object of the present invention is to provide a coping saw jig having three platforms slidably attached to each other. 
   Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a coping saw jig with a base with a moveable platform slidably attached thereto having linear movement relative to the base platform. 
   Still yet another object of the present invention is to provide a coping saw jig with a saw housing platform slidably engaging said moveable platform having transverse linear movement relative to the base platform movement. 
   Another object of the present invention is to provide a coping saw jig with a saw housing mounted to the saw housing platform having bushings for mounting a variety of rotary cut-off tools types within said housing. 
   Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a coping saw jig with a handle member depending from the saw housing platform underside. 
   Still yet another object of the present invention is to provide a coping saw jig wherein said handle member has stanchion depending from the saw platform topside forming handles. 
   Another object of the present invention is to provide a coping saw jig wherein said handle member platform has a structural member extending therefrom seating into a dimensionally similar cavity positioned on the underside of the saw platform. 
   Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a coping saw jig having a guide pin extending between the saw platform and the handle platform with each distal end fastened thereto. 
   Still yet another object of the present invention is to provide a coping jig having means positioned between each engaging platform whereby one platform is movable relative to the other. 
   Another object of the present invention is to provide a coping saw jig wherein said movement is provided by integral platform tracks and channels or slidably engaging tracks having roller or ball bearings positioned therebetween and fastened between the platforms whereby the platforms have linear movement relative to and perpendicular with each other. 
   Yet another object of the present invention is to incorporate the use of popular new spiral rotary cut-off tools as made and sold. 
   Additional objects of the present invention will appear as the description proceeds. 
   The present invention overcomes the shortcomings of the prior art by providing a jig for a coping saw whereby said coping saw is used to cut an identical image of a molding prototype template. The jig is comprised of a base platform having means for mounting said prototype template and means for mounting and securing a work piece thereto. The jig is further comprised of a movable platform having means for engaging said base platform and capable of linear movement relative to said base platform. 
   Slidably attached to the movable platform is the saw mounting platform capable of transverse linear movement relative to the movable platform linear movement with a handle depending therefrom and a saw housing mounted thereon. 
   Pairs of releasably mountable front and back bushings provides means for mounting and retaining various sided coping saws within said saw housing having an aperture forming a throughbore for the coping saw blade. 
   Extending from the underside of the saw mounting platform is a handle member with stanchion-like elements passing through platform apertures serving as handles for control of the cutting function. 
   The handle member also serves as the base support member for the guide pin fastened at each distal end to the saw mounting platform and handle platform, which in operation resides below the planar surface formed by the top surface of the base platform having the prototype molding template mounted thereon providing means for the guide pin to be supported at both distal ends while tracing the prototype template. 
   Further structural support for the handle member is incorporated by having an L-shaped-like member extending from the handle platform into a dimensionally equivalent cavity formed on the underside of the saw platform. 
   It should be noted that providing mounting and retaining means for the handle member and saw housing, other than permanent connection to the saw housing platform, would provide a knock down tool substantially comprised of flat pieces that may include the opposing saw housing side walls having hinge-like connection with the back wall whereby the saw housing would also lie flat during storage. 
   As previously stated, the base, movable and saw platforms slidably engage each other. This sliding engagement provided by the present invention, in the preferred embodiment occurs in one of two ways. Either a pair of tracks and channels are integrally formed between the base and movable platforms and another pair formed between the movable and saw mounting platforms at the time of fabrication, such as injection molding or slidably engaging tracks having roller or ball bearings located therebetween are positioned and fastened to their respective platform whereby said movable platform is imbued with linear movement relative to the base platform and said saw platform is capable of transverse linear platform movement relative to the movable platform. 
   The foregoing and other objects and advantages will appear from the description to follow. In the description reference is made to the accompanying drawings which form a part hereof, and in which is shown by way of illustration specific embodiments in which the invention may be practiced. These embodiments will be described in sufficient detail to enable those skilled in the art to practice the invention, and it is to be understood that other embodiments may be utilized and that structural changes may be made without departing from the scope of the invention. In the accompanying drawings, like reference characters designate the same or similar parts throughout the several views. 
   The following detailed description is, therefore, not to be taken in a limiting sense, and the scope of the present invention is best defined by the appended claims.
