Abstract
A portable circular saw has a main body (8) accommodating a motor therein, a sawing blade (4) rotated by the motor, a dust casing (3) covering the upper part of sawing blade (4), and a base (9) mounting main body (8). A plurality of partition plates (12a-12e) and a step-up portion (13) are arranged in a hollow space of dust casing (3). These plates (12a) to (12e) and step-up portion (13) have a surface perpendicular to a plane of sawing blade (4). A side wall (17) of dust casing (3) is recessed inward. Base (9) is an aluminum casting product. A link portion (11), provided on base (9), is rotatable about a pivot (18) so as to allow an angular adjustment between base (9) and sawing blade (4).
Claims11
A portable circular saw having a dust collecting function comprising:
- a main body accommodating a motor therein;
- a sawing blade rotated by said motor;
- a base provided at a lower part of said main body;
- a dust casing covering an upper part of said sawing blade for collecting chip dust;
- and
- deceleration means provided in said dust casing for decelerating said chip dust when said chip dust is introduced together with air in said dust casing, said decelerating means including a combination of a partition plate and a step-up portion, said partition plate extends downward from an upper inside wall of said dust casing while said step-up portion is provided on said upper inside wall near said partition plate, so that dust-containing air collides with said step-up portion immediately before said chip dust reaches said partition plate.
A portable circular saw having a dust collecting function comprising:
- a main body accommodating a motor therein;
- a sawing blade rotated by said motor;
- a base provided at a lower part of said main body;
- a dust casing covering an upper part of said sawing blade for collecting chip dust and having a side wall recessed inward;
- and
- deceleration means provided in said dust casing for decelerating said chip dust when said chip dust is introduced together with air in said dust casing.
A portable circular saw having a dust collecting function comprising:
- a main body accommodating a motor therein;
- a sawing blade rotated by said motor;
- a base provided at a lower part of said main body;
- a dust casing covering an upper part of said sawing blade for collecting chip dust having an opening at a position just above a leading edge of said sawing blade;
- and
- deceleration means comprising a plurality of partition plates separately arranged in a hollow space in said dust casing for decelerating said chip dust when said chip dust is introduced together with air in said dust casing, one of said plurality of partition plates being disposed near said opening so as to reflect said introduced air containing said chip dust.
A portable circular saw having a dust collecting function comprising:
- a main body accommodating a motor therein;
- a sawing blade rotated by said motor;
- a base provided at a lower part of said main body;
- a dust casing covering an upper part of said sawing blade for collecting chip dusk said dust casing including a generally circular collection path in the plane of said blade;
- and
- deceleration means provided in said dust casing collection path including a deflecting means extending perpendicular to said blade plane to deflect particles in said path for decelerating said chip dust when said chip dust is introduced together with air in said dust casing.
