Mountings for riving knives of table saws

A combination comprising a riving knife and a device for mounting a cover of a cutting blade to the riving knife,

• wherein the riving knife has an upper edge, a rear edge, and a cavity formed in at least a part of the riving knife;
• and
• wherein the mounting device comprises:
• a support member arranged and constructed to support the cover,
• a lever mounted to the support member and operable between a mounting position and a releasing position, and
• an engaging member comprising a pair of resiliently deformable plates defining an insertion recess therebetween, the insertion recess having a width for permitting insertion of a part of the riving knife,
• wherein the resiliently deformable plates of the engaging member have outer walls, and are resiliently deformed to narrow the width of the insertion recess so as to clamp the part of the riving knife therebetween when the lever is operated to the mounting position,
• wherein pressing projections are formed on the outer walls, so that the lever engages with the pressing projections to urge the resiliently deformable plates to narrow a width of the insertion recess, when the lever has been moved to the mounting position, and
• wherein the engaging member is coupled to the support member and arranged and constructed to releasably engage the cavity formed in the riving knife.
