An overboot device is provided for increasing a foot print of a foot portion of a bi-pod firearm support. The overboot preferably comprises a base having a cone projecting therefrom and a cylinder axially extending from the cone. A plurality of fingers axially extend from the cylinder and include a tab radially projecting therefrom. The tabs form a ring which combines with an axially spaced apart annular flange radially projecting from the cone to define a recess therebetween. A removable band nests within the recess so as to constrict the fingers toward one another to reduce the diameter of the cylinder such that the overboot may be secured about the foot portion of the bi-pod assembly.

A vise assembly providing clamping of workpieces and pantographic displacement of opposed vise jaw members in parallel in a direction generally transverse to the longitudinal axis of the workpiece. The vise assembly is a shuttle vise, and the pantographic mounting assembly is used with band saw apparatus in production cutting of bar stock, which tends to warp along its longitudinal axis. The vise assembly includes a clamping mechanism for holding the movable vise jaw against the vise ways to prevent diverging of the vise jaw faces and urging of large diameter workpieces up and out of the gripping jaws.

An improved pivotal bipod adapter. The adapter allows pivoting of the bipod by use of a rubber hinge type member. The rubber hinge member connects a base member with a bipod mounting portion and holds the bipod in a normal position but is pivotal from side to side to allow for resting the bipod on uneven surfaces.

An apparatus (50) for detecting lateral deviation of a band saw blade (36) from the desired line of cut which includes an angularly displaceable element (54) slidably engaging the saw blade (36) for pivotal movement therewith. A relatively rigid mounting assembly (52,64) mounts the angularly displaceable element (54) for rotation while resisting lateral displacement. Lateral blade deviation is proportionately determined when angular displacement is sensed by a sensor (55) as the blade (36) contacts the displaceable element (54) rotating it about an axis (53) through the desired plane of the blade (36). The angular deflection sensing assembly 50 also may be incorporated into a guide arm (32).

A pivotal adapter includes a mounting bracket adapter for attachment to a bipod bracket pivotally attached to a base adapted for attachment to a firearm. A spring assembly is included to provide biased engagement between the mounting bracket and the base. The spring assembly biases against pivotal movement between the mounting bracket and the base for inhibiting unintended pivoting and rattling of the mounting bracket. A mounting assembly for removable attachment of a bipod to a firearm includes a base for cradling of the forestock of a firearm. A strap releasably attaches the base to a firearm by encircling of the firearm. A clamping assembly allows the strap to clampingly engage the firearm. A bipod adapter for attaching a bipod to a semi-automatic firearm includes an adapter base which is associated with the firearm in a generally perpendicular manner. A portion of the adapter base engages the barrel for inhibiting rotational movement of the bipod adapter. A fastener fastens the adapter base against the fore-end block of the firearm. A bipod may be attached to a flange portion of the bipod adapter.

Band saw apparatus is disclosed which includes cutting enhancement apparatus formed for tilting of the cutting stretch of the band saw blade to vary the force per unit area of the cutting edge of the blade on the workpiece. The cutting enhancement apparatus which tilts the blade at both guide assemblies is shown. The saw carriage is movably mounted to the remainder of the saw to be substantially free to rebound or move away from the workpiece during tilting of the blade to avoid digging in or shearing off of the blade teeth and to permit close spacing of the blade guides next to the workpiece. The saw includes a feed control system having both an orifice control circuit and a support force control circuit. A method is disclosed which is comprised of using the support force circuit to vary the rate of cutting during the cut to prevent overloading of the blade and/or stalling of the machine. Sensors feedback signals which adjust the support force circuit to control feeding.

Band saw apparatus and method with pressure controlled feed

Band saw apparatus for cutting multiple workpieces simultaneously having more than two blade guide assemblies formed for sliding engagement with a continuous loop saw blade to define at least two saw blade cutting stretches. A vise assembly is also provided to separate multiple workpieces in at least two spaced workpiece retaining channels generally aligned with the saw blade cutting stretches. The band saw apparatus is particularly suitable for cutting multiple workpieces having a relatively small diameter. An improved method for cutting multiple workpieces simultaneously is also provided.

Band saw having more than two blade guides

Band saw apparatus is disclosed which includes a drive assembly formed for support and guided movement of a saw blade for cutting of a workpiece, an endless band saw blade mounted to the drive assembly, and reciprocation apparatus formed for reciprocation of the blade toward and away away from the workpiece to enable see-sawing of the blade and variation of the force per unit area of the cutting edge of the blade on the workpiece while maintaining the same total force on the blade. To enhance toward and efficiency of cutting the blade drive assembly is mounted to the remainder of the saw to be substantially free to rebound or move away from the workpiece during reciprocation to avoid digging in or shearing off of the blade teeth and to permit close spacing of the blade guides next to the workpiece. The saw includes a control circuit for controlling the rate of movement of the saw arm away from and toward the workpiece to enable timing of saw arm rebound to blade displacement. The blade guides are reciprocated by the fluid piston-cylinder assemblies in synchronism or out-of-phase to vary the amplitude, frequency, speed and dwell during displacement independently of blade speed and at two locations along a length of the blade so as to produce see-sawing oscillation as well as simple reciprocation. The blade guide assemblies are provided with displacement means to permit guide assembly adjustment during cutting to maintain the guide assemblies in close proximity to the workpiece. Alternative blade displacement assembly constructions and a method for cutting workpieces employing the apparatus also are disclosed. The method includes variation of the feed rate of the saw blade down through the workpiece as a function of the width of the workpiece.

A compact, variable speed pulley assembly is disclosed in which pulley faces are mounted to a pulley shaft for rotation with respect thereto and for relative axial displacement along the shaft. A torsion spring is connected to transmit a torque force from the shaft to at least one of the pulley faces. The pulley assembly further includes a motion damping brake which applies a sliding friction force resisting relative angular displacement between the pulley faces and the pulley shaft. This friction force damps out over-correction by the torsion spring for speed variations induced by changes in the V-belt width, machine dynamic imbalance and workpiece characteristics. Fatigue of the torsion spring is eliminated without increasing the pulley assembly bulk by providing a second compression spring or providing a conical torsion spring.
