Abstract
Abstract Slicer dogs for use in a veneer slicer in which a flitch is held against a flitch table and the table reciprocated in a plane generally parallel to the table relative to a knife and pressure bar. The knife slices sheets of veneer from the flitch during alternate reciprocations. The dogs have plural rows of teeth to assist in holding the flitch on the slicer.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 16
Claim 1
Independent Claim
100 words
A dog for a veneer slicer, the dog comprising means for mounting the dog to the slicer to hold a flitch to the slicer, the dog including a row of first teeth having first edges extending generally longitudinally of the flitch along a first line for engagement in the flitch to assist in holding the flitch on the slicer so that veneer can be sliced from it, and a row of second teeth having second edges extending generally longitudinally of the flitch along a second line for engagement in the flitch to assist in holding the flitch on the slicer.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
100 words
A dog for a veneer slicer, the dog comprising means for mounting the dog to the slicer to hold a flitch to the slicer, the dog including a row of first teeth having first edges extending generally longitudinally of the flitch along a first line for engagement in the flitch to assist in holding the flitch on the slicer so that veneer can be sliced from it, and a row of second teeth having second edges extending generally longitudinally of the flitch along a second line for engagement in the flitch to assist in holding the flitch on the slicer.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
15 words
The dog of claim 1 wherein the second line is generally parallel to the first.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
38 words
The dog of claim 1 wherein each tooth of the first row is substantially equidistantly spaced from adjacent teeth of the first row defining substantially uniform spaces between the teeth of the first row longitudinally of the flitch.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
34 words
The dog of claim 3 wherein each tooth of the second row is substantially equidistantly spaced from adjacent teeth of the second row defining substantially uniform spaces between the teeth of the second row.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
36 words
The dog of claim 4 wherein the teeth of the second row lie in the spaces between the teeth of the first row when viewed from a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal extent of the flitch.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
38 words
The dog of claim 5 wherein the teeth of the second row are generally centered in the spaces between the teeth of the first row when viewed from a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal extent of the flitch.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
50 words
The dog of claim 6 wherein a line between the first edge and the second edge projects onto a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal extent of the flitch an angle of about 30° with a mounting surface of the slicer against which the flitch is to be held for slicing.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
50 words
The dog of claim 1 wherein a line between the first edge and the second edge projects onto a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal extent of the flitch an angle of about 30° with a mounting surface of the slicer against which the flitch is to be held for slicing.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
93 words
A dog for a veneer slicer, the dog comprising means for mounting the dog to the slicer to hold a flitch to the slicer, the dog including a first row of teeth, the first row extending generally longitudinally of the flitch for engagement in the flitch to assist in holding the flitch on the slicer so that veneer can be sliced from it, and a second row of teeth, the second row extending generally parallel to the first row for engagement in the flitch to assist in holding the flitch on the slicer.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
93 words
A dog for a veneer slicer, the dog comprising means for mounting the dog to the slicer to hold a flitch to the slicer, the dog including a first row of teeth, the first row extending generally longitudinally of the flitch for engagement in the flitch to assist in holding the flitch on the slicer so that veneer can be sliced from it, and a second row of teeth, the second row extending generally parallel to the first row for engagement in the flitch to assist in holding the flitch on the slicer.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
71 words
The dog of claim 9 wherein each tooth of the first row is substantially equidistantly spaced from adjacent teeth of the first row defining substantially uniform spaces between the teeth of the first row longitudinally of the flitch, and each tooth of the second row is substantially equidistantly spaced from adjacent teeth of the second row defining substantially uniform spaces between the teeth of the second row longitudinally of the flitch.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
36 words
The dog of claim 10 wherein the teeth of the second row lie in the spaces between the teeth of the first row when viewed from a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal extent of the flitch.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
38 words
The dog of claim 11 wherein the teeth of the second row are generally centered in the spaces between the teeth of the first row when viewed from a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal extent of the flitch.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim
62 words
The dog of claim 12 wherein a line between the tip of a tooth of the first row and the tip of a tooth of the second row projects onto a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal extent of the flitch an angle of about 30° with a mounting surface of the slicer against which the flitch is to be held for slicing.
Claim 16
Dependent Claim
62 words
The dog of claim 9 wherein a line between the tip of a tooth of the first row and the tip of a tooth of the second row projects onto a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal extent of the flitch an angle of about 30° with a mounting surface of the slicer against which the flitch is to be held for slicing.
