US Patent:

50144367, May 14, 1991

Filed:

Feb 8, 1990

Appl. No.:

7/476630

Inventors:

Vincent T. Kozyrski - Plainville CT
Claude R. Millett - Plainville CT

Assignee:

The Fletcher-Terry Company - Farmington CT

International Classification:

B26D 308
C03B 3310

US Classification:

33 2703

Abstract:

Apparatus for manually cutting circles from glass utilizes a center support structure, in combination with a rule having a distance scale thereon, and a cutting head adjustably mounted on the rule. Reversal of the position of the cutting head on the supporting rule adapts it for use with either of two different forms of cutting components.

Abstract:

Measuring stops for a mat cutting machine are constructed to permit installation without removal of either the shaft on which they are carried or of any element used to mount the shaft on the clamping bar. The stop locking mechanism comprises a pivotable block, which is forced into clamping relationships by a screw assembly; strong locking effect is achieved without overstressing or distortion of the stop body material.

Appl. No.:

7/231728

Inventors:

Vincent T. Kozyrski - Plainville CT
Claude R. Millett - Plainville CT

Assignee:

The Fletcher-Terry Company - Farmington CT

International Classification:

B26D 308
C03B 3310

US Classification:

33 42

Abstract:

Apparatus for manually cutting both circles and strips from glass utilizes either a center support structure or an edger, in combination with a rule having different scales on opposite surfaces, and with a cutting head adjustably mounted on the rule. Reversal of the position of the cutting head on the supporting rule adapts it for use with either of two different forms of cutting components, and the edger is constructed not only to compensate for offset between the registration and cutting elements of the head, but also to enable use of the edge of either the glass workpiece or a furring strip as the reference surface along which the edger is run to cut strips.
