Abstract
A panel grooving apparatus has a table for supporting a panel at a working level. A rail extends along a side of the table and a working assembly is mobile on that rail. The working assembly is selectively immobilized in various grooving positions by stops movable and selectively arrestable along the rail and engageable by part of said working assembly. The panel is releasably retained on the table by movable peripheral elements thereon. In a simplified embodiment, the working table may be reduced to a ruler on which a shoe of a rectilinear guide slides.

In panel grooving apparatus, the improvement comprising in combination:
- a table for supporting a panel at a working level;
- a rail along a side of the table;
- a working assembly mobile on said rail;
- means for selectively immobilizing said working assembly in various grooving positions, including stops movable and selectively arrestable along said rail and engageable by part of said working assembly;
- and
- movable peripheral elements on said table for releasably retaining said panel;
- said working assembly including a carriage movable in said rail, and a rectilinear tool guide having an arm articulated on said carriage;
- said carriage having a base and a plurality of axles supported by, and extending perpendicularly to said base, and pulleys rotatably mounted on said axles for rollingly engaging said rail;
- said base having two lateral flanges for pivotally mounting said arm, and an upper flange for supporting said arm;
- said base carrying a locking device for engaging said stops;
- and
- said locking device including a lever pivoted on said base and having a cut-out for engaging said stops for immobilizing the carriage, and a handle at a free end of said lever.
In panel grooving apparatus, the improvement comprising in combination:
