Bracing device for the blades of a saw mill, saw mill using a device of this type

A saw mill comprising at least two saws disposed on a common drive shaft having an axis, said saws being rendered solid with said drive shaft by a locking device, wherein the saws are separated from one another by a bracing device, said bracing device comprising a ring having a periphery from which extend a plurality of tongues having an inherent transverse resilience, said ring being adapted to be disposed between said saws, and wherein said locking means comprises a peg which cooperates with said saws and said ring.

A bracing device, for the blades of a saw mill having at least two saws solid with a drive shaft having an axis, which comprises a ring having a periphery from which extend a plurality of tongues having an inherent transverse resilience, said ring being adapted to be disposed between said saw blades, wherein the tongues extend substantially tangentially from the periphery of the ring.

A saw mill comprising at least two saws disposed on a common drive shaft having an axis, said saws being rendered solid with said drive shaft by a locking device, wherein the saws are separated from one another by a bracing device, said bracing device comprising a one piece ring having a periphery from which extend a plurality of tongues having an inherent transverse resilience, said ring being disposed between said saws, said inherent transverse resilience being such that said tongues easily flex in a plane perpendicular to said axis under action of an initial stress exerted on extremities of said tongues, and resume an initial shape as soon as said stress is removed, said bracing device also comprising means for locking said ring to said shaft.
