Abstract
Abstract The invention provides a metal-sawing machine including a guide frame vertically movable with respect to a work to be cut, a saw carrier capable of rocking in the cutting plane with respect to said work, a pair of servo-cylinders one on the left-hand section and the other on the right-hand section of said saw carrier, each of said servo-cylinders being connected at one end to said guide frame at a first pivotal point while the opposite end thereof is connected to said saw carrier at a second pivotal point, a rocking motion control means for alternately differentiating the distance between said first and second pivotal points of each of said servo-cylinders, and a guide means for preventing said saw carrier from horizontal displacement with respect to the line of cutting action of the saw blade while in its rocking motion.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
180 words
A metal-sawing machine for cutting a work in the rocking motion of a saw blade, which machine comprises: a guide frame vertically movable with respect to a vice mounted on a bed, said vice being adapted to hold a work; a saw carrier including a pair of saw wheels on which an endless saw blade is carried so as to run in a loop around said saw wheels; a pair of servo-cylinders one on the left-hand section and the other on the right-hand section of said saw carrier; each of said servo-cylinders being connected at its one end to said guide frame at a first pivotal point while the opposite end thereof is connected to said saw carrier at a second pivotal point; rocking motion control means for alternately differentiating the distance between said first and second pivotal points of each of said servo-cylinders, thereby enabling said saw carrier to rock in the cutting plane with respect to said work held on said vice; and guide means for preventing said saw carrier from horizontal displacement with respect to said work.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
180 words
A metal-sawing machine for cutting a work in the rocking motion of a saw blade, which machine comprises: a guide frame vertically movable with respect to a vice mounted on a bed, said vice being adapted to hold a work; a saw carrier including a pair of saw wheels on which an endless saw blade is carried so as to run in a loop around said saw wheels; a pair of servo-cylinders one on the left-hand section and the other on the right-hand section of said saw carrier; each of said servo-cylinders being connected at its one end to said guide frame at a first pivotal point while the opposite end thereof is connected to said saw carrier at a second pivotal point; rocking motion control means for alternately differentiating the distance between said first and second pivotal points of each of said servo-cylinders, thereby enabling said saw carrier to rock in the cutting plane with respect to said work held on said vice; and guide means for preventing said saw carrier from horizontal displacement with respect to said work.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
79 words
A metal-sawing machine as set forth in claim 1, wherein said rocking motion control means includes a means for driving left-hand oblique plate and right-hand oblique plate to the left and right, a pair of servo-valves corresponding to said servo-cylinders, said servo-valve being adapted to control said servo-cylinder independently, said oblique plates being engaged with said servo-valves, said means for driving said oblique plates being mounted on said saw carrier while said servo-valves are mounted on said guide frame.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
32 words
A metal-sawing machine as set forth in claim 2, wherein said means for driving said oblique plates is mounted on said guide frame while said pilot valves are mounted on said saw-carrier.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
80 words
A metal-sawing machine as set forth in claim 1, wherein said rocking motion control means includes a means for driving left-hand oblique plate and right-hand oblique plate as a whole along said saw carrier to the left and right, a pair of servo-valves mounted on said guide frame one corresponding to said left-hand servo-cylinder and the other corresponding to said right-hand servo-cylinder such that said servo-valves alternately drive said servo-cylinders in accordance with the reciprocating movement of said oblique plates.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
36 words
A metal-sawing machine as set forth in claim 4, wherein each of said oblique plate has a slant face on top whose inner portion is higher than its outer portion with its middle portion being convexed.
