can undercabinet lighting be on a dimmer?
Hi, all. We are using low-voltage xenon Task lighting for our undercabinet lighting. Do you all know if this can be on a dimmer?
My electrician was asking if they are "electronic or magnetic" dimmer. I have no idea what that means.
It is possible for most of the available low-V power sources to dimm.
Actual transfomrers can use a magnetic dimmer, while many of the small 'elecrtonic' transformers (actually AC-DC switching power supplies) can use a regular SCR type dimmer that you use for incandescent lights.
You need to check with the manufacturer to verify what type of dimmer the the electgronic transformer is designed for.
Pegasus lighting has small 60 W supplies (and even dual 60 watt units with two 60 W, 12 V outputs) that operate from regular SCR dummers.
Theuy sell just the supplies if you need them.
I found out that we need a low-voltage electronic dimmer.
"I found out that we need a low-voltage electronic dimmer."
That means the 'electronic' transformer you have is an older design.
It is realtively trivial to make a switching power supply that can handle a standard triac dimmer output for brightness control.
From industry trends this statement does not appear to be true "It is realtively trivial to make a switching power supply that can handle a standard triac dimmer output for brightness control."
The manufacturers I know of that used to claim this have retracted the claim because of performance issues. Lutron engineers don't agree and UL seems to require that dimmers are correclty matched with load type. Dealing with electronic low voltage loads is one of the most infuriating things in lighting control. Unless the products are specifically tested by some manufacturer to work together it's best to test to see which parts will actually work before sticking ones neck out in a bid.

Hickatee's community project - Boom Creek village school
For many years, Ex-Servicemen Road (so named for the land granted to those who volunteered for services overseas in World War II) ended just past Hickatee Cottages.
In the early 1990s a road was pushed through a further five miles west to the tiny and, at that stage, recently-formed settlement of Boom Creek on the banks of the Moho River. Today, Boom Creek is home to 13 Kekchi and Mestizo families, who engage in traditional activities such as farming, fishing, and hunting, as well as logging.
Boom Creek's village school - the Living Word Primary School - is an independent Christian school that was founded in 1995 by
members of the Living Word Church to fulfil the village children's
needs for local education. Until then, the children had to paddle five miles
up-river to the school in Santa Ana, which isn't the easiest of tasks
as those of you who have experienced the rainy season might appreciate!
During its early years the school was based in the village church but, in 1999, a Government grant provided for the construction of a 5 classroom concrete structure with separate outdoor toilets. And the funding stopped there... the running of the school and education of its 35 pupils - from ages 5 through to 14 - is funded entirely through donations, largely from abroad.
Many of our guests
ask us ahead of their visit if there are any items they can bring with
them to help the local community. In response to both these requests
and the urgent needs of the school, Hickatee Cottages has implemented a
community project designed to help provide some of the school's basic
- Pencils
- Pens (blue, black, and red)
- Notebook paper
- Spiral notebooks
- Construction paper (for posters etc)
- White glue
- Child-safe scissors
- Individual pencil sharpeners
- Glitter
- Staplers and staples
- AA batteries (safe-disposal brand)
- Erasers
- Dustless chalk and chalkboard erasers
- Rulers
- Coloured pencils
- Copy paper
- Manila file folders
- Printer ink cartridges (re-filled HP21, 22, 56, and 57 compatible)
- Children's books
- Sports equipment (volleyball, jump ropes etc)
The school is managed by Bob and Rhonda Farley, with Mrs Ruth Coleman as the Principal teacher, assisted by three teachers. If you have any questions or would like further information, please email us!

Oh yes - it is the conservative media that is to blame!! LOL<quoted text>
We don't get much information about Haslam, his Family, or his Family Business here in W. TN., unless it's on the Nashville TV News. The TEApublicans keep it all out of our Local paper.
Actually, it's ironic that the Haslam's were strong supporters of the proposed state income tax - for everybody. There is the Hall Tax that I and possibly a few others here pay, but by in large there is no statewide income tax.
Maybe they're turning on each other. But, right now it's anybody's guess...and despite that evil conservative media Sassy references - the reason for the raid will come out.

Rough Draft

OkayKim's review
Jul 19, 11
Read from July 17 to 19, 2011
This started as a 2 star read for me. Had a little trouble with the letter writing. It bored me to tears. So I started skimming. Until I found that not all of the book was letter writing back and forth. Once you get past all the erotica, and yes! there is erotica. Lots of erotica. There's a sweet love story between these two men. So, I stopped my skimming and actually read the book from front to back. It's a five star read that grows on you.

Termites strike central Fla. school district
Termites are causing programs at the Marion County School District in central Florida.
The Ocala Star-Banner ( http://bit.ly/12G6kkp) reports the district's employment services department had to be removed from its headquarters after a termite infestation was discovered.
Administrators have also discovered termites in the new band room at Howard Middle School. Officials believe the termites might be coming from wood somewhere outside.
The new facility is still under warranty.
Officials hope the school district employment services department repairs will be completed by the end of the county's spring break.

Anyone know of Vector/Vinylite windows?
Hi, everyone. I am new to this forum and just getting educated on windows. We have had five windows replaced the last few years, and are now looking to get four more replaced next month and soon the rest will be replaced in the upcoming years. We have been happy with the vinyl windows our contractor (and cousin) has used previously, they are from a company called Vector windows (previously Vinylite) based in MN that purely sells to lumberyards. But we have always thought they were a little pricey. We have not done replacement windows, we always rip out the old and put a new one in with new casing. Anyway, this week I decided to go to retail stores and price out the beginning series Andersen 100 and Pella 25/350 series windows as well, and those are cheaper. For example, for a casement approx 2ft*4ft, Pella 25 was $270, Pella 350 was $370, but the Vector was $450. I am comparing the u-factor and they all seem comparable. Yet, I have seen some very mixed reviews from sites like this on the Andersen and Pella beginning series (many people not liking them), so its hard to understand if I should be taking more into account than the u-factor stuff?
We live in MN (cold winters). I am trying to make sure that as we move forward with buying another 15 or so windows that we are making the right choice and if we are going to pay more its for good reason. I can't find reviews of Vector/Vinylite because they are a smaller local company (5M in sales), so I guess people just don't review them as much? Like I said I think the windows have been good, but just want to make sure we are paying more for a reason. Prices for sliders/picture windows are pretty comparable to other brands, but the casements have defeinitely been more and we have a lot of those in our house.
Thanks for any advice you can give!
Not familiar with the brand, but generally anything marketed as "builder grade" is not going to be a top performer. Get the ratings for U value, shgc, VT, air infiltration, and design pressure. They will be very telling as to the quality.
Regarding Pella and Andersen, Pella's 350 is decent, although I avoid it due to the pocket sill. Andersen fibrex products are decent as well, but the 10 yr warranty turns me off. The lower end offerings from each company (Thermostar and Silverline/American Craftsman respectively) are truly entry level, "price-point" products IMO. Neither are even designed or built by Pella or Andersen, but they simply purchased existing companies and relabeled them.
HomeSealed, I know that any window we get probably won't be top of the line, but we are looking for a good vinyl mid-range window. The vector numbers are:
u-value: .28
shgc: .2 if loe3, .3 if loe2
Visible light: .47 for loe3 and .51 for loe2
air infiltration: casement - .06, picture window - .01 (these are the large majority of windows we will be replacing)
design pressure: is that the psf? if so, that is 4.5 for a casement
Can you tell me what you think of these numbers? I don't know much about windows, I'm just learning, so your help is appreciated.
A few observations Leelee:
-I think that some of your info may be incomplete or inaccurate. You should see a change in the u value from lowe2 to lowe3, and the shgc should go down, not up.
-In MN, you should ideally look for a U-value as low as possible, and a shgc that is moderate to high, higher on the southern elevation if you have a fair amount of glass space that gets good sun. The better products are getting u values in the .25-.27 range in double pane with shgc still over .25+ (without grids).
-If you are looking at casements, pocket sills are not a concern, and air infiltration can be slightly less of a concern as casement units are the "tightest" configuration. That said, .06 for a casement is not very good. Higher and even mid-level options are getting as low as .01, if not at least below .05.
Design pressure will typically run in a range between 25 and 75 (some a little lower and some higher) and will be listed something like DP50, R50, or LC50, depending on where you look, how it is tested, etc. You really want to be over 50 on a casement IMO. DP tests the wind load primarily, and gives a great indication of structural integrity.
- A solid design and build does become paramount with casements. They take a tremendous amount of stress when open, so the quality of the unit will show itself rather quickly. I've seen builder grade vinyl casements warp and twist to the point of being nearly inoperable in less than 5 yrs. Probably an extreme example, but you get the idea.
-In MN you should have access to most of the better products commonly mentioned around here. Sunrise and Okna/Himark are probably my two favorite vinyl casements, but Softlite/Gorell, Polaris, and some others make great units as well.

Roses and the rainy season in Japan?
I know traditionally gardens in Japan don't have lots of flowers, but if a person wanted to plant such a garden in Japan, roses, peonies, poppies, etc.(add some cottage garden elements), how would the plants be effected by the rainy season in June? Do all the petals fall off? Are the plants just fine, only wet? Does it delay summer bloomers? I guess I am not sure how much/how hard it rains. Is there anyone here from Japan, or who knows who I could ask? I have done a lot of research on the web, but I can't find an answer to such a specific question (not in english anyway). I very much want to know, planting times, and blooming times of year, as compared to here, Northeast U.S.A. Does it rain all day, or just a shower? Do people still work the soil, plant seeds, seedlings, prune in this rain, or is there a pause in gardening for June?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Hi Kiyoshi
Rainy season of between end of May to early July is called "Tsuyu" Some time home owner use unbrella to protect flower. Hokkaido don't have tsuyu/rainy season.
Planting time
It is depend on plant and location. Are you in zone 6 or 5?
If you can tell where you live/general location then I can tell more specificly.
Blooming time of year
If cherry tree's flowering timing from kyushu to Hokkaido, It is normaly forcasted well every year. Useing Yoshino cherry as indication tree. some cherry tree bloom twice . spring and fall. some cherry tree bloom twice one after another. Some plants,shurbs bloom longer than otherssome tree flower only two weeks or so and some blooms 3 month or longer.ability of tree, shurbs,plants,and skill of gardner make different.
some time rain/shower 4~5 days continuosly. This time of rain is very important to grow rice.
rain of summer and after typhoon season's rain are different. During typhoon season we have heavy rain.
Inland of Northeast and coast of north east have different weather. so does Japan. For exsample Hokkaido island, northern part of Japan, Hakodate city is more like new York. northern part of Hokkaido is like Alberta, Cannada
Blooming time
Again it is depend on plants and location.If you travel 50 miles to north,south east or west blooming time of same plants may differ 10 days or more. early or late. If elevation is chenged then blooming time of same plant may differ 30 days or more.
If you contac to Cosulate General of Japan in your area, they will provide you some free information. Don't afraid to ask.....yama
Thand you Yama.
I am interested in the area around Kyoto, for information about flower growing season, and effect of the tsuyu in June, and of the typhons in fall, on a garden grown in that general area.
You have already been very helpful, can you tell me more about this area in particular?
I am in the U.S.A, do you think the Consulate General of Japan would still answer my questions?
Thank you
Call consulate general of Japan anyway. They have some free informations.Ask all of it. You may find intresting informations. "Notheast" cover wide area. northern part of northeast or southpart of north east are not same.
Do your part then I will help you more.^^ .........yama
Another way to determine what flowers bloom during each season, one could look at some of the traditional arts like screen paintings, ikebana , pottery, kimono material. Because, each season has flowers and plants which represent the current season are usually can be found in the art. er go, screen with susuki and a moon is probably fall. Botan is late spring. Most of these themes are centered around the time which the flowers bloom in Kyoto. If you would like more info drop a line.
Hi kiyoshi
I am not for sure that Consulate general of Japan 's stuff able to give you answer or not,but they have some informations about Japan. Untill you call you them, you never know what you can get.
In general, most trees, shrubs bloom betweeen spring to fall. but some plant ,tree bloom in winter.
Tyhoon season
Tyhoon is not only happens in fall. Month of July, August,September, October are the season of tyhoon.
Weather of kyoto is similar to Atlanta or north Georgia. Depend on what part of kyoto.
If you want to dig very detail information, then check " Nogyo hakusho" report of Japanese Agriculture.It's should have some information about kyoto.
If you are student and you have Japanese parent(s), Ask to find chamber of commerce of kyoto.
good luck.....................yama
Thank you Yama.
I have gone to the Consulate General of Japan website in New York, it did have some useful information and some links I will check out. (I feel a little nervous to write or email directly the consulate, but you are right I wont know if I don't ask.). I am unsure of exactly where in Kyoto would be best (for such a garden), more information will help me narrow it down. I will check out the "Nogyo Hakusho" report you mention.
I am unhappy to hear that typhoons can start as early as July and August. Are there parts of Kyoto where it doesn't happen til September? I need the flowers to bloom, and stay on the plants for a couple of months.
Thank you David.
I do have some print outs of the five hundred essential season words (I forget what it is called, it has some name, used in traditional poetry and arts) that is along the lines you mention, what is talked about in what season is what blooms then (or happens then.
I am hoping for some information like, this part of country is zone 5 or 6 (I guess it would probably be like US zone 6 in parts of Kyoto?) and then you know you buy seed packets and they say what zones they can be planted in, and when and how long they bloom. I just found and ordered a book called Garden Plants of Japan. I am hoping it will answer some more of my questions. Thank both of you for all your help. After I find out a bit more, I will most likely have more (specific) questions to ask.
David and I , we are friend.We both are Buddist. I am old enough to be grand father David is younger and taller than I am. I am from Tokyo, Born there and gronw up there.Daivid is born in USA.
I am glad that you are going to serch your self and spend your time to find something you are intrested.
as long as you doing your part of foot work, We will help you.
There was Isewan tyhoon which hit kyoto very hard. I will find date of Isewan tyhoon. Japanese news paper might have some informations.
I do not have much of informations about it.Do you know Yakushiji temple? second oldest wood building in the world .(1200 To 1300 years old.) When tyhoon hit kyoto city hared, Oldset biulding din't damaged badly, but new addtional buildings 50 to 100 yaers old had heavey damage. Mordan technology couln'd withstand tyhoon but 1200 old only had minor damage. If you are interesting about it I can find it more.
Past 20 years or so English garden was very popular in Japan. Some time garden/flower lover use umbrella to protect flowers.
Having many rain in June is very important for rice famer.
I think most part of Japan get over 6o inch of rain. Georgia get about 54 inch of rain each year. Japan has more mosses and ferns than USA and Canada combined. Land of Japan is only 1/23 of USA about 1/20 of Canada.
let's us know your finding(s)................yama
I forgot to tell you Tifany. Consulate General office has free monthly information. You can ask for it.
There are many consulates are workingat each Conslulate General office. The Conlulate General of Japan is not handling each request or question (s) ^^
Also they may stock some books and video for rent. If You talk to the office personal, you may find something else.
All Consulate General stuff are doing what they are paid for. "Helping you" So Don't affrid to call.
Many American are working at Consulate general office too. Call them and ask.
Also when you call( or e mail and request information) Consulate General office, Ask for JETRO's phone number. JETRO is short of " Japan external Trade organization" They have huge data, They may also give you information(s) you are looking for.
( I use to maintained Consulate Generals of Japan's official resident and have a friend in consulate office).
Here is someone who is growing roses very successfully in
Hokkaido Japan
Here is a link that might be useful: Kiho's garden

'The Dark Tower' Stays at Universal With Smaller Budget, Schedule Pushed Back
Posted on Friday, May 13th, 2011 by Russ Fischer
Universal won't pass on the massive Ron Howard and Akiva Goldsman adaptation of Stephen King's series The Dark Tower, but the studio is making some changes before it writes a check. We recently heard that the project, which is mean to come to life as three feature films and a couple of TV arcs, might be shelved at Universal and offered up to other studio homes. Universal doesn't want to let it go — understandable, as there is nothing execs like less than seeing projects they pass over do well somewhere else — but is asking for a new look at the budget, and has pushed the start date for the first film back from this fall to some time next year. Will that mean The Dark Tower loses Javier Bardem as the lead? Read More »

3 Life Lessons Learned From "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt"
March 27, 2015
By: Melaina Lewis, @melaina_lews
Unbreakable. It's a miracle. The ingenious mind of Tina Fey and Robert Carlock did it again – this time creating satirical dynamite on Netflix. Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt released, to what feels like, instant popularity. Within days, people were binge watching the series, then telling their friends to do the same. As public relation professionals, we know word of mouth is the most powerful marketing tool. If a brand can gain the trust of one person, then it can easily gain the trust of ten more people. Let's be honest, we all wanted to be the first person telling someone to watch Kimmy Schmidt. Like many, I watched 13 episodes over two days, and yes, I can see why this show was a strategically planned PR goldmine. However, Kimmy taught me more than just marketing skills. Here are three lessons I learned from watching the Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt:
1. You are strong as hell.
As a former mole woman, Kimmy offers a handful of life advice throughout the series. Lesson one: Never allow anyone to make you think you're garbage. When life gets tough, remember you can do anything for 10 seconds at a time. In all seriousness, you can overcome anything, it's mind over matter. At times, we lose touch with what's important in life, and get distracted by work, school or homework. Take a step back and readjust your priorities. Be surprised by your strength.
2. Achieve your dreams
A speaker at Lead365 (a stellar conference for student leaders), told me if you write down your goals and look at them three times a day, you're more likely to achieve success. You may have to zig more than you zag, but just like Kimmy, you can get friends, a job and an apartment in New York City, all in one day.
3. Don't be afraid of the unknown
Embrace it. Step out of your comfort zone, and then once you're out, step again. Great experiences can come from the unknown. Tituss never stopped pursuing his broadway dreams. Like a true entrepreneur, he created his own generic version of Disney's Lion King. Don't talk yourself out of an opportunity. Apply for the internship or job in the city of your dreams. Remember, you're unbreakable.

SAW GUARD V Filed Sept. 10, 1941 s Sheets-Sheet a Patented June 22, 1944 saw sump Herbert E. Tautz, Englewood, Cola, assignor, by mesne assignments, to Delta Manufacturing Company,
Milwaukee, Wis a partnership eonslsting of Marshall Field, Charles G. Culling,- and H. Campbell Stuckeman Application September 10, 1941, Serial No. 410326 ,7 Claims. (01. 143-159) The present invention relates to safety guards, I intended particularly for'use with circular saws and similar tools.
An object of the invention is to provide an improved saw guard having features which increase the safety operation. In a preferred form,
this combines features of three different types of saw guards, namely the basket guard, the splitter, and the kick-back preventer.
The invention includes a novel way of mounting the splitter at spaced-apart points, and providing reenforcing elements thereon, so designed as to avoid increasing the thickness of the operative portion thereof, whereby it becomes possible to make the splitter rigid enough to support the other elements of the guard properly.
The splitter embodies novel adjusting means and provides a pivotal support for the basket guard as well as a lateral guide for the guard supporting arms and also provides pivotal support for the kick-back fingers, which are designed to give improved kick-back prevention and are so mounted that they may be released at will, while the machine is in operation, without requiring the hands of the operator to approach dangerously close to the saw blade or other tool.
The basket guard is mounted to pivot about a point well in back of the table and above the level of the table top, thus making it easy for the work piece to lift the guard, when passing the tool, and spring means are provided to partially balance the weight of the guard and assist feeding of the work.
While the invention is particularly advantageous in providing a saw, guard for use in connection with tilting arbor saw, as it will tilt with the saw blade, it is not limited thereto, nor to any specific kind of circular saw.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will in part be disclosed specifically in the present specification and in part will be selfevident from the structures described therein and illustrated in the drawings which accompany the said specification, and form a part thereof.
In said drawings, which illustrate a preferred form of the invention:
Fig. 1 is a side elevation of the saw guard, and shows in phantom lines the top of the saw table;
Fig. 2 is a plan view thereof;
Fig. 3 is a fragmentary section on the plane indicated by the line 3-3 of Fig. 1;
Fig. 4 is a rear elevation, illustrating also the range of movement of the guard, certain parts being omitted;
Fig. 5. is a front elevation showing merely the forward end of the basket guard, to show the shape and the range or movement thereof and Fig. 6 is an exploded view illustrating structural details of the saw guard and its component parts.
In all the figures corresponding elements are indicated by similar reference characters.
Referring first to Figs. 1 and 6, it will be seen that the guard comprises a splitter'l having the front support or leg 2 and the rear support or leg- 3 each of which is bifurcated at its lower end, as indicated at 4 and 5. The splitter has a curved and beveled or tapered forward portion 9 curved to correspond to the size of the saw blade, but suitably spaced therefrom, and is stiffened at its upper edge by means of two bars 6 and I secured thereto in any suitable way, as by screws or the like passing through the holes iii in the bars and the holes ii in the splitter which are alined therewith.
A ll-shaped guide block i2 has a. flat shank 13 of the same thickness as the splitter l' and preferably of the same width as the bars 6 and I, so that it may fit between said bars and extend forward from the front end of the splitter I. This shank has holes I! therein which are alined with the holes ii in the bars 6 and I, so that the guide block l2 may be held rigidly in place by suitable fastenings passing through said holes.
The bars 6 and I when properly secured in place serve not only to hold the guide block l2 rigidly in its proper position, but also to stiffen the splitter blade i very materially, so that it may serve as a satisfactory relatively stationary support for the basket guard It. This guard comprises the two substantially parallel side panels l1 and I8 each of which preferably has a series of slots l9 therein. The side panels are connected in front by the top web 20, and also connected at an intermediate point by the web 2!. The front web 22 connecting the panels is inclined at an acute angle, as shown, so that r when a work piece advances toward the guarded The tubular spacer 25 is preferably slightly long er than the width of the basket, so that when the screws 27 are tightened the bars 23 and 24 will not bind against the basket. The basket also has a pair of alined arcuate slots 29 to receive the pin 30, which has reduced ends 3| fitting in the holes 32 of the bars 23 and 24. The guide block l2 passes freely between the panels H and 18 of the basket and helps to hold and guide same against side sway.
At the rear, the bars 23 and 24 abut against the opposite face of a hinge member 33 having holes 34 therein, alined with the holes 35 in said bars. The holes 34 are preferably threaded, so that the bars 23 and 24 may be secured to the hinge 33 by screws such as 36. The hinge member 33 is slotted at 3! and provided with a bore 38 so that it may be mounted over the splitter guard l and its reenforcing bars 6 and I by means of a pivot stud or pin 39 passing through the hole 38 and the corresponding holes 40 in the splitter and its reenforcing bars.
Within the hinge 33 is provided a spring 4| which may be retained in position by a socket or cage 42 formed in the hinge member, the spring 4| thus resting against the inner surface 43 of the hinge and the top surface of the splitter l and its reeniorcing bars 6 and 7. The spring thus serves to cushion the downward movement of the basket guard, and to sustain some of the weight thereof, to facilitate the lifting of the basket by the work piece.
Fig. 6 shows a set of kick-back prevention fiIlgers 44, 4-5, 46 and 41, of various lengths, four being illustrated, although it will be understood that any desired number may be used, to the extent that space is available. Each finger has a mounting hole 48 therein for holding it pivotally to the splitter, as by the tubular nut 49 and screw 52 passing through holes I 4 and I and supporting the fingers 44 and 45, and the tubular nut 50 and screw 53 passing through holes in and II and supporting the fingers 46 and 41. Each finger has a nose 5i at its upper end, which will pro ject above the top of the basket, in easy reach of the operator. A washer 18 is placed between the fingers of each pair, to prevent binding and catching. and it will be understood that the reduced shanks of the nuts 49 and 50 are long enough to permit the fingers to pivot freely even when these nuts are tightened fully.
In order that the entire guard may turn with the saw blade, it is secured to a portion of the tilting support of the mechanism, for example the rear trunnion 54, the saw being shown in detail in my copending application S. N. 252,744 filed January 25, 1939, issued as Patent No. 2,265,407, December 9, 1941. In this way it is clear that once the splitter l is adjusted properly into the plane of the saw blade 55, and clear of the said blade, it will always remain in such relative position with respect to the saw blade, no matter how it is tilted. Similarly, when the basket guard has once been adjusted to proper position with respect to the saw blade, it wil1 always maintainsuch adjustment, as it moves with the splitter, to which it is pivoted.
A characteristic of the trunnion mounting of the saw operating mechanism as disclosed in said copending case is that the axis of the tilt AA lies in the plane of the table top. so that the line of intersection of the plane of the cutting blade and the plane of the table top does not shift laterally when the saw blade is tilted. Since the saw guards are carried by the saw operating mechanism, they necessarily also tilt about the same axis, and remain in the same correct relative position with respect to the blade, regardless of the angle of cut. I
In order that the front end of th basket may remain as close as possible to the table regardless of the tilting, it is made curved at the portion which rests on the table, as shown at 5B in Fig. 5. This also allows the basket guard to tilt smoothly, and prevents the possibility of catching and binding that might exist if these parts were cut oil at right angles to the sides of the baskets in the manner heretofore customary, it being understood that side I! of the guard (Figure 6) is slightly shorter than side l8, so that when the guard is in the full line position of Figure 5 it will be spaced slightly above the table top, and when the guard is rocked both sides or wings will engage the table. The novel manner in which the splitter is associated withthe trunnion 64 will now be set forth.
A bracket 51 is secured to the trunnion 64 in any suitable way, as by the cap screw 58 and lock washer 59, and the cap screw and the lock Washer 8| Fig. 1, which permits turning the bracket 51 about such can screw to the very slight extent necessary to adjust the same into the plane of the saw. The bracket has a fiat surface upon which rests the forked end 4 of the splitter l, with a washer 6| on top of same so that the splitter may be secured to the bracket by means of the cap screw 62, the slot in the leg 2 permitting adjustment in the plane of the splitter blade I, as required.
In order to support the splitter at another point considerably back of the trunnion 54, a spacer 63, here shown as tubular, and having a threaded end portion 64, may be secured to the said trunnion as shown in Fig. 1 by means of the nut 65. This spacer provides a support and guide for a split clamp 66, which is slotted at 61 to provide a split extending into the bore 68, which fits slidably and rotatably upon the spacer 63. Cap screws 69 are provided to tighten the clamp 66 on the spacer 63 in any desired position of adjustment.
The clamp 66 has an upstanding bracket 10 mounted thereon for a slight range of sliding movement, as shown best in Figs. 4 and 6, and a cap screw II is provided to secure the bracket ID in adjusted position on the clamp 68. The hole 19 through which the screw ll passes is elongated (as shown in Fig. 4) to permit such adjustment. In this way the splitter I may be supported by having its bifurcated end 3 secured to the plane surface 12 of the bracket by means of the cap screw 13 passing through the washer 14 and between the splitter lugs 5, and into the threaded bore 15 in the bracket 10. Guide pins 16 fitting into corresponding openings in the washer 14 win prevent said washer from turning when the screw 13 is tightened, and the lock Washer TI will prevent screw 13 from loosening due to vibration.
The o ration of the guard is as follows:
In applylztg the guard to a saw, the bracket 51 is first secured to the trunnion 54, whereupon the splitter I is mounted thereon and adjusted approximately into the plane of the saw blade 55 and correctly spaced therefrom. The rear end of the splitter is then secured to the bracket 10 by means of the washer 14 and screw 13, leaving all the parts loose enough for final adjustment. The clamp 66 is then turned and slid as necessary on the tube 63 while the bracket 10 is also adunder,
enforcing bars.
splitter, said splitter having two stiflening memjusted on top of the clamp 88 so as to aiine the splitter I with the plane of the saw blade throughout its length, whereupon the various screws are tightened to maintain the correct adiustment.
The splitter is very materially stifiened by the two spaced-apart supports, which have thus" been adjusted into proper alinement, and the splitter is further stiffened by the fiat bars 6 and 1 secured along its upper edge. By reason of this stiffening, the splitter becomes capable of supporting the basket guard adequately. It will be noted that the pivot 38 of said basket guard is a considerable distance back of the rear edge of the table 82, thus affording a better lift of the basket and easier operation. The front support 2 of the splitter of course is directly behind the saw blade and necessarily projects through the top of the saw table. However this portion of the splitter extends through the saw slot in the insert of the table, and thus there is a sufficiently extensive portion of the table behind the support or leg 2 to provide ample strength for said table.
The work piece will lift the basket 18 upon coming in contact with the inclined forward surface 22 thereof and the basket will tilt as necessary about the pivot 39 as well as about the pivot 25 to accommodate the work piece passing therethe pivotal movement about tube 25 being limited by the slot 29 through which passes the rod 30, as best shown in Fig. 6.
The kick-back prevention fingers are of course supported from the splitter guard, and cannot follow the basket in its vertical movements, for necessarily the serrated lower ends of these fingers must be capable of engaging firmly in the work piece the instant it starts to move toward the operator. This action could not be secured unless the fingers were mounted on a rigid stationary support, which is here provided by the rigid and firmly mounted splitter with its re- The fingers may be moved readily out of the way without danger when not wanted, by applying the operator's finger tips to the projecting noses 5|, since the guards l and I6 still remain in place.
The entire basket guard may be swung backward and upward out of the way by turning it about the pivot 39, thus leaving only the splitter guard and the kick-back prevention fingers in service. The rounded construction 56 at the bottom of the basket facilitates keeping the said basket close to the table at any tilted position of the saw mechanism. The widened portion l2 at the front end of the splitter guard serves as a' lateral guide for the basket, as it fits loosely between the inner faces of the side panels I! and I8 of the basket. This is a valuable feature, since it prevents an accidental side blow from forcing the basket guard into the saw blade or other tool, with consequent injury to both.
It should be clearly understood that while what is now believed to be a preferred embodiment of the invention has been illustrated and described, this has been done solely by way of illustration and not as a limitation to the particular details disclosed. Numerous changes, additions and omissions of individual features may be made without departing from the invention, the scope of which is defined solely in and by the following claims.
