Abstract
Abstract A machine for the cold-sawing of steel plates in which the feed movement between the circular saw blade including its drive housing and the workpiece, in essence the steel plate, is effectuated in a horizontal direction. The saw unit, which consists of the saw blade and its drive housing is so guided in a vertical direction as to be freely movable in this direction, and is provided with means which support themselves on the workpiece in immediate proximity to the saw cut in a manner whereby the saw blade does not enter essentially deeper into the workpiece than would be necessary to divide the latter. During sawing, the saw blade should project beyond the lower surface of the workpiece by only a fraction of a millimeter.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
170 words
In a machine for cold-sawing metal workpieces such as a steel plate, an arrangement comprising: a horizontal plate for supporting the workpiece, horizontal guiding means at a distance above said horizontal plate, a carriage slidable on said horizontal guiding means, means for moving said carriage on said guiding means, vertical guiding means fixed on said carriage, a cold-metal saw unit slidable on said vertical guiding means, said saw unit comprising a housing having therein a shaft of a rotary circular saw blade and gearing means for driving said shaft, means contacting the surface of said workpiece in an immediate proximity to a cut formed in said workpiece by said saw blade and supporting said saw unit housing in a vertical direction on said vertical guiding means, said contacting means being adjustable in a vertical direction relative to said saw unit, one said contacting means being arranged closely ahead of the location at which said saw blade enters said workpiece and another said contacting means being arranged closely behind said location.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
170 words
In a machine for cold-sawing metal workpieces such as a steel plate, an arrangement comprising: a horizontal plate for supporting the workpiece, horizontal guiding means at a distance above said horizontal plate, a carriage slidable on said horizontal guiding means, means for moving said carriage on said guiding means, vertical guiding means fixed on said carriage, a cold-metal saw unit slidable on said vertical guiding means, said saw unit comprising a housing having therein a shaft of a rotary circular saw blade and gearing means for driving said shaft, means contacting the surface of said workpiece in an immediate proximity to a cut formed in said workpiece by said saw blade and supporting said saw unit housing in a vertical direction on said vertical guiding means, said contacting means being adjustable in a vertical direction relative to said saw unit, one said contacting means being arranged closely ahead of the location at which said saw blade enters said workpiece and another said contacting means being arranged closely behind said location.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
29 words
