3 .Claims. (Cl. 262-20) This application is a division of application Serial No. 202,445, filed by me December 23, 1950, and now abandoned.
This invention relates to road making machinery, and more especially to a concrete cutting saw for making trenches in roadways.
An object of the invention is to provide novel improvements in the construction of a saw for cutting concrete slabs such as roads, sidewalks, floors, and the like.
Other objects and advantages will appear and be brought out more fully in the following specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings wherein:
Figure l is a side elevational view showing a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and
Figure 2 is a top plan view of said embodiment.
Referring more particularly to the drawing, I show a concrete cutting machine having a main frame or chassis 11, supported by front wheel assembly (not shown) and a rear wheel assembly having a pair of rear wheels 15. A base 16 is mounted on frame 11 and supports an internal combustion engine or other motor 20.
A plate 21 is secured at an angle to the rear end of frame 11 and has bearing brackets for a shaft 23a on which is a pulley 24 driven by a belt 25 from a pulley 26 on the drive shaft of engine or motor 20.
A saw blade 44 is keyed to one end of the shaft 23a. An auxiliary saw frame 81 comprises a pair of L-section rail or plate members 82 having bearing connections 83 to shaft 23a and a pair of similar plates 84 having slot and bolt connections 85.and 86 with rails 82, and a transverse plate 87 connecting one end of rails 84. Plate 87 mounts bearings 88 for a saw blade shaft 90 having a saw blade 91 at one end and a pulley 92 at the other end, to be driven by belt 93 from a pulley 94 on saw shaft 23a. An arcuate plate 95 having an open end slot 96 is suitably mounted on frame 11. A link assembly 97 connected to plate 87 engages plate 95 and comprises a tube member 98 which receives one end of a rod 99 having a pivot connection 100 to plate 87.
' A stop collar 101 is adjustably positioned on rod 99 and seats one end of a compression spring 102, the other end of which engages one end of tube 98. Rod 99 has a radially extending pin 103 in slot 104 in tube 98. A handle 105 has a shank connected to tube 98 and is adapted to pass through slot 96, this slot being sufiiciently wide to admit rod 99 when in adjusted position. By this construction, when saw blade 91 is in operative position, shaft 90 will be urged downwardly by the pressure of spring 87, bearing against tube 98 which is in engagement with the outer arcuate face of plate 95. When it is desired to move saw blade 91 from operative position, this may be accomplished by swinging frame 81 clockwise and lifting handle member 105 out of slot 96, and turns of spring 102 with rod 99 extending through the slot, as shown in the dotted position of Figure 1.
In the operation of the aforedescribed device, two parallel cuts can be made using both blades 44 and 91.
From the foregoing description it should be clear that my invention fulfills the above enumerated objects and has novel advantages, and it will be further understood that the foregoing is illustrative rather than restrictive of the invention, and that changes and modifications may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the sub-joined claims.
I claim:
