Abstract
Abstract A routing device having parallel guides on a guide base to position a work piece therebetween, a tool platform to position and support the tool, a tool support plate and a frame to provide angular orientational movement of the tool, and selective indexing means between the guides and the frame, the frame and the blade, and the platform and the plate.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
135 words
A device for guiding the cutting tool of a routing tool with respect to a work piece surface comprising a guide base having parallel longitudinal indexing and support means thereon adapted to position a work piece and provide a primary guide for the tool to be used thereon, a tool platform adapted to position and support the routing tool on said parallel means in working contact with the work piece, a plate slidably connected with said tool platform for relative movement therewith, and a frame guided longitudinally by said parallel means and adapted to retain said plate rotatable therewith whereby the selective movement of said plate in said frame and said platform with respect to said plate will cause the tool cutter to operate in a given path with respect to the work piece surface.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
135 words
A device for guiding the cutting tool of a routing tool with respect to a work piece surface comprising a guide base having parallel longitudinal indexing and support means thereon adapted to position a work piece and provide a primary guide for the tool to be used thereon, a tool platform adapted to position and support the routing tool on said parallel means in working contact with the work piece, a plate slidably connected with said tool platform for relative movement therewith, and a frame guided longitudinally by said parallel means and adapted to retain said plate rotatable therewith whereby the selective movement of said plate in said frame and said platform with respect to said plate will cause the tool cutter to operate in a given path with respect to the work piece surface.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
29 words
A routing device as defined in claim 1 wherein said frame and plate have angular indexing means operable therebetween to selectively angularly position said plate relative to said frame.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
29 words
A routing device as defined in claim 1 wherein said plate and platform have linear indexing means operable therebetween to selectively linearly position said platform relative to said plate.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
50 words
A routing device as defined in claim 1 wherein said frame and plate have angular indexing means operable therebetween to selectively angularly position said plate relative to said frame, and said plate and platform have linear indexing means operable therebetween to selectively linearly position said platform relative to said plate.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
26 words
A routing device as defined in claim 1 wherein said plate slidable connection is linear to provide linear movement only between said platform and said plate.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
104 words
A routing device as defined in claim 1 wherein said tool support platform is slidably and pivotally connected to said plate and said frame by a plate slot through said plate adapted to slidably and pivotally receive the routing tool cutter therethrough, a frame slot in said frame, and a pin positioned in said frame slot and slidably connected to said platform to pivotally and slidably interconnect said platform with said frame, whereby the selective rotation of said plate in said frame and said platform pin connection in said frame and platform slots will cause the tool cutter to operate in given curved paths.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
42 words
A routing device as defined in claim 1 wherein said plate is slidably connected with said tool platform by linear means whereby the tool cutter will be caused to operate in a given linear path with respect to the work piece surface.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
47 words
A routing device as defined in claim 1 wherein said platform is slidably connected with said plate by linear means and said frame by curved means whereby the tool cutter will be caused to operate in a given curved path with respect to the work piece surface.
