Improvements in Sawing Apparatus.
I, STANLEY MUNDEY, Captain, of Naseby Wooleys, Rugby, do hereby declare the
nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relating to sawing apparatus and has for its object to provide
improvements on the invention patented by me No. 8035 dated April 23rd 1894.
The invention described in the prior specification consists of a saw connected at
one end to a pivoted arm carried by a suitable frame on which the wood to be sawn
is placed. This arrangement of the pivoted arni allows a saw which commonly
requires two men to use it to be worked by a man at one end. The pivoted arm
to which the saw is connected by means of a link is provided with a number
of holes and a pin by which its length can be regulated according to the thickness
of the wood to be sawn.
On the spindle carrying the swinging arm I propose to fit a weight which serves
to assist the sawing action, tending to draw the saw through the wood. This weight
is carried on a short arm placed at an angle to the swinging arm above mentioned
so that it is raised as the saw is drawu back and falls to assist the forward action
of the saw.
The frame carrying the wood to be sawn is preferably formed with the central
support slightly higher than the sides so that the weight of the ends of the piece
of wood tends to open the cut formed by the saw preventing any danger of pinching
and interfering with the process of sawing, thus rendering the action much freer.
I also propose to provide a device by which the wood is held in position more
firmly, a catch or handle pivoted to the side of the frame being employed. This
handle is formed with a number of ratchet teeth at its lower side so placed as to
grip the wood when the latter is placed in position preventing it turning or moving
whilst being sawn.
The whole of the frame work can be taken to pieces, the two sides of the frame
being connected together by pins or bolts allowing the parts to collapse when
withdrawn.

Improvements in Sawing Apparatus.
I, STANLEY MUNDEY, of Naseby Wooleys, Rugby, Captain, do hereby declare the
nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be
particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
This invention relates to sawing apparatus and has for its object to provide
improvements on the invention patented by me No. 8035 dated April 23rd 1894,

page_text: In order that my invention may be fully understood, I will now refer to the
annexed drawings, in which :-
Figure 1. is a perspective view of my improved apparatus.
a is a saw connected at one end to a pivotted arm d carried by a suitable arm i
. on which the wood / to be sawn is placed. This arrangement of the pivoted arm d
allows a saw which commonly requires two men to use it to be worked by a man at
one end. The pivoted arm d to which the saw is connected by means of a link b
is provided with a number of holes f and a pin by which its length can be regulated
according to the thickness of the wood to be sawn.
On the spindle e carrying the swinging arm d I propose to fit a weight which
serves to assist the sawing action tending to draw the saw through the wood. This
weight his carried on a short arm g placed at an angle to the swing arm d above
mentioned so that it is raised as the saw is drawn back and falls to assist the forward
action of the, saw.
The frame carrying the wood to be sawn is preferably formed with the central
support m slightly higher than the sides so that the weight of the ends of the
piece of wood tends to open the cut formed by the saw a thus preventing any
danger of pinching and interfering with the process of sawing thus rendering the
action much freer.
I also propose to provide a device by which the wood is held in position more
firmly, a catch or handle k pivoted to the side of the frame being employed. This
handle k is formed. with a number of ratchet teeth at its lower side, so placed as to
grip the wood when the latter is placed in position preventing it turning or moving
whilst being sawn.
The handle is held or secured in the rack n. The whole of the frame work can
be taken to pieces, the two sides of the frame being connected together by pins or
bolts allowing the parts to collapse when withdrawn.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. The combined construction and arrangement of the various parts substantially
as described and illustrated herein.
2. In sawing machines. An adjustable swinging arm connected to a saw; said
arm being attached to a spindle carrying a weight or counterpoise upon a rod or
lever so that the weight or counterpoise will tend to operate the saw in one direction
of its motion; the various parts being supported in a frame which may be taken
apart when required; a clamp or clip for clamping or holding the wood when being
sawn; a support so arranged that when the wood is being sawn the same is
supported so as to cause the saw cut to tend to open, thus preventing the catching
or jamming of the saw when in use.
