Patent ID: 7854183

Claim:
A swage device, comprising: a frame; and a swage anvil coupled to the frame, the swage anvil comprising an elongate body having a first end, a second end, and a coupling portion disposed between the first end and the second end, the coupling portion being configured to couple to the frame to constrain movement of the swage anvil to lateral movement substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of the frame, the coupling portion having a first lobe extending from the elongate body along a first direction from a centerline of the swage anvil and extending between the first end and the second end of the elongate body, the elongate body and the coupling portion defining a tooth contact face extending between the first end and the second end, the tooth contact face defining an angle relative to a long axis of the elongate body, the tooth contact face being configured to abut a top rear surface of a saw blade tooth and the tooth contact face being configured to support the saw blade tooth during a swaging procedure performed on that saw blade tooth; wherein the tooth contact face defines a tip overhang portion configured to extend beyond a tip of the saw blade tooth in the same plane as the tooth contact face when the tooth contact face abuts the top rear surface of the tooth; and wherein the elongate body is configured as a wedge-shaped elongate body, the second end of the wedge-shaped elongate body being thicker than the first end of the wedge-shaped elongate body.
