Abstract
The invention disclosed herein is a simple but versatile sawing device for effectively and efficiently cutting or sawing hard solid materials. A driving mechanism consisting of three slidably-associated elements converts a rotational force into a dual rotatory/reciprocatory motion. A cam key may be disengaged to permit the device to be used to drill into a surface. Also disclosed is a novel cutting-rod element that is a hard metal rod with cutting teeth of a unique shape on its surface.
Claims4
A rotatory sawing device comprising:
- an outer cylinder with an upper end and a lower end;
- a cam cylinder with first end and a second end;
- a cam cylinder drive shaft slidably connected to said cam cylinder at said first end;
- a cam cylinder shaft with a distal end, said can cylinder shaft being attached to said cam cylinder at said second end;
- cutting-rod holding means attached to said cam cylinder shaft;
- a base-plate attached to said upper end of said outer cylinder with a bearing centrally located in said base-plate;
- said base-plate being to protect the cam cylinder and said bearing to support said cam cylinder drive shaft;
- a cover attached to said lower end of said outer cylinder with a bearing centrally located thereon;
- said cover being to protect the cam cylinder and said bearing to support said cam cylinder shaft;
- and
- a cutting-rod having a proximal end and a distal end, said cutting-rod being positionable in said cutting-rod holding means;
- wherein:
- said cam cylinder is slidably positioned within said outer cylinder;
- said cam cylinder has a cam groove on its surface, said cam groove being diagonally positioned so as to trace an elliptical orbit around said cam cylinder;
- a stationary cam key is positioned in a side of said outer cylinder, said cam key being positioned to fit into said cam groove of said cam cylinder;
- and
- said cutting-rod is centrally and axially attachable to said cam cylinder by said cutting-rod holding means;
- whereby rotation of said cam cylinder imparts a reciprocatory motion to said cam cylinder by action of said cam groove upon said stationary cam key, said reciprocatory motion of said cam cylinder imparts a reciprocatory motion to a cutting-rod positioned in said cutting-rod holding means, and said cam key may be released to cause said cam cylinder to move in a solely rotatory manner.
