Abstract

A deformable slide bar includes two bodies and two connectors; the two bodies are side by side and located between the two connectors, and two ends of each connector are pivotally connected to the two bodies; each body includes a track abutting surface, a first recess, a second recess, a stop protrusion, and a clamping protrusion, the clamping protrusion of each body can be clamped with the stop protrusion of the other body, and the track abutting surfaces of the two bodies face opposite directions respectively; each connector includes a clamping protrusion that can be clamped with the stop protrusion of one of the bodies. When the two clamping protrusions of the two connectors are clamped with the two stop protrusions, the two first recesses are closed to form an assembly hole, and the two track abutting surfaces define a first width; when the clamping protrusion of each body is clamped with the stop protrusion of the other body, the two second recesses are closed to form an assembly hole, and the two track abutting surfaces define a second width; the second width is different from the first width, so that the utility model can be applied to tracks with different widths, and is more flexible in use.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an accessory for a cutting device, and more particularly to a slide bar for engaging with and sliding along the track of the worktable of the cutting device. Background Technology

[0002] A workbench or table used with cutting equipment such as circular saws, miter saws, and table saws typically has a recessed track on its surface or tabletop. A miter bar is installed within the track, allowing it to move along the track. Users can screw and secure accessories such as push handles, stops, rulers, or feathering boards to the miter bar, allowing these accessories to change position along the track as the miter bar moves.

[0003] However, the widths of the tracks on workbenches or worktables vary; common track widths are 3 / 4 inch and 5 / 8 inch. Existing slide bars only have a single width, making them compatible only with 3 / 4 inch or 5 / 8 inch tracks. When the slide bar width differs from the track width, the user must prepare slide bars of different widths and reassemble the components onto the appropriate width. Therefore, existing slide bars are incompatible with tracks of different widths, offering limited flexibility in use, and their structure still has room for improvement. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a slide bar that can be applied to two slide rails with different widths.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention employs a technical means of designing a deformable sliding rod, which includes:

[0006] Two main bodies, each including a first end and a second end positioned opposite each other, a track abutment, a first recess near the first end of the main body, a second recess near the second end of the main body, a stop protrusion located at the second end of the main body, and a locking protrusion between the first recess and the first end of the main body; the two main bodies are arranged side by side, the track abutments of the two main bodies face opposite directions, the recesses of the first and second recesses of each main body face the other main body, and the locking protrusion and the stop protrusion of each main body protrude toward the other main body; the locking protrusion of each main body can lock with the stop protrusion of the other main body; and

[0007] Two connectors are located at the first and second ends of each of the main bodies, respectively. Each connector includes two opposite ends and a locking protrusion. The two ends of each connector are pivotally connected to the first end of one of the main bodies and the second end of the other main body. The locking protrusion of each connector protrudes toward the two main bodies and can lock with a stop protrusion.

[0008] When the two locking protrusions of the two connectors are respectively locked to the two stop protrusions of the two main bodies, the two first recesses of the two main bodies engage to form an assembly hole, and the two track abutments of the two main bodies define a first width; when the locking protrusion of each main body engages with the stop protrusion of the other main body, the two second recesses of the two main bodies engage to form an assembly hole, and the two track abutments of the two main bodies define a second width; the second width is different from the first width.

[0009] With the design described above, this utility model can be deformed to change its width, making it suitable for tracks with different widths. This not only makes the utility model more flexible in use, but also saves the inconvenience and time wasted by frequently disassembling and assembling accessories such as push handles, stops, rulers, or feather boards to adapt to tracks of different widths, thereby improving work efficiency.

[0017] The following, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments of the present invention, further illustrates the technical means adopted by the present invention to achieve its intended purpose.

[0018] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, the slide bar 1 of this utility model includes two main bodies 10 and two connecting parts 20.

[0019] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the two main bodies 10 are arranged side by side with a gap between them; each main body 10 includes a first end 11 and a second end 12 that are positioned opposite each other, two sides facing opposite directions, and a track abutment 13 facing away from the other main body 10; further, each main body 10 also includes a first recess 14, a second recess 15, a first mark 16, a second mark 17, a stop protrusion 18, and a locking protrusion 19.

[0020] like Figures 1 to 3 In each of the main bodies 10 shown, the first recess 14 is located near the first end 11 of the main body 10, and the second recess 15 is located near the second end 12 of the main body 10. The openings of the first recess 14 and the second recess 15 face the other main body 10. More specifically, both the first recess 14 and the second recess 15 are semi-circular holes. Each main body 10 also includes a first clamping portion 141 protruding from the arc surface of its first recess 14. The first clamping portion 141 has a semi-circular outline, is coaxial with the first recess 14, and includes a support cone surface 142 that gradually expands toward the first recess 14. Each main body 10 also includes a second clamping portion 151 protruding from the arc surface of the second recess 15. The second clamping portion 151 also has a semi-circular outline, is coaxial with the second recess 15, and includes a support cone surface 152 that gradually expands toward the second recess 15.

[0021] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the first mark 16 and the second mark 17 of each of the main bodies 10 are recessed on the same side of the main body 10, and the first mark 16 is adjacent to the first recess 14 of the main body 10, and the second mark 17 is adjacent to the second recess 15 of the main body 10; the stop protrusion 18 is located at the second end 12 of the main body 10 and protrudes toward the other main body 10, the stop protrusion 18 has a rectangular outline and includes a first stop surface 181 and a second stop surface 182 facing opposite directions, the first stop surface 181 faces the first end 11 of the main body 10; the locking protrusion 19 is located between the first recess 14 and the first end 11 of the main body 10.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, the two connectors 20 are located at the first end 11 and the second end 12 of each of the main bodies 10, so that the two main bodies 10 are located between the two connectors 20, and the first stop surface 181 and the second stop surface 182 of the stop protrusions 18 of each main body 10 face the two connectors 20 respectively; the outline of each connector 20 is V-shaped and includes a vertex 201, two opposite ends, and a locking protrusion 21.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 3 Each of the connectors 20 shown has its two ends pivotally connected to the first end 11 of one of the main bodies 10 and the second end 12 of the other main body 10, such that the vertex 201 of the connector 20 is away from the two main bodies 10. The locking protrusion 21 of each connector 20 protrudes obliquely toward the stop protrusion 18 of one of the main bodies 10 and can lock with the stop protrusion 18. Specifically, each connector 20 includes a long arm 22 and a short arm 23; the length of the long arm 22 is greater than the length of the short arm 23, and the long arm 22 and the short arm 23 are connected to the vertex 201 of the connector 20, so that the outline of each connector 20 is V-shaped. The long arm 22 of each connector 20 is connected to the first end 11 of one of the main bodies 10, and the short arm 23 of each connector 20 is connected to the second end 12 of one of the main bodies 10. The locking protrusion 21 of each connector 20 protrudes from the long arm 22 of the connector 20. More specifically, the distance between the apex 201 of each connector 20 and the locking protrusion 21 is approximately equal to the distance between the first stop surface 181 and the second stop surface 182 of the stop protrusion 18 of each main body 10.

[0024] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the outline of each connector 20 is V-shaped; in application, as long as the two ends of each connector 20 can pivot relative to the two main bodies 10 respectively, the present invention does not impose specific restrictions on the outline of each connector 20.

[0025] like Figure 4 As shown, since the two ends of each connector 20 are pivotally connected to the first end 11 of one body 10 and the second end 12 of the other body 10, the two bodies 10 can pivot relative to each other clockwise. Figure 5 As shown, when the two locking protrusions 21 of the two connectors 20 are respectively locked with the two stopping protrusions 18 of the two main bodies 10, the two locking protrusions 21 are respectively stopped by the two first stopping surfaces 181 of the two stopping protrusions 18, so that the positions of the two main bodies 10 can be fixed, and the two first recesses 14 of the two main bodies 10 can be engaged to form an assembly hole. At this time, the two track abutment surfaces 13 of the two main bodies 10 define a first width W1.

[0026] like Figure 6 As shown, the two main bodies 10 can also be tilted counterclockwise relative to each other; when the locking protrusion 19 of each main body 10 is locked with the stop protrusion 18 of the other main body 10, the two locking protrusions 19 of the two main bodies 10 are respectively stopped by the two second stop surfaces 182 of the two stop protrusions 18 of the two main bodies 10, and the two second recesses 15 of the two main bodies 10 engage to form another assembly hole. At this time, the two track abutments 13 of the two main bodies 10 define a second width W2; in the preferred embodiment of this utility model, the second width W2 defined when the two second recesses 15 of the two main bodies 10 engage is greater than the first width W1 defined when the two first recesses 14 of the two main bodies 10 engage. Specifically, the first width W1 can be 5 / 8 inch, and the second width W2 can be 3 / 4 inch.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the user can use the two first clamping parts 141 of the two main bodies 10, or the two second clamping parts 151 of the two main bodies 10, to clamp and fix accessories such as push handles, blocks, rulers or feather boards.

[0028] like Figure 7 As shown, the user can mount the slide bar 1 of this invention, with the accessory 70 fixed thereon, onto the track 61 of a workbench 60, allowing the accessory 70 to move along the track 61 with the slide bar 1, thereby changing the position of the accessory 70 on the workbench 60. When the accessory is clamped by the two first clamping parts 141 or the two second clamping parts 151, the supporting cone surface 142 / 152 can be abutted by the accessory, causing the two track abutting surfaces 13 of the two main bodies 10 to press against the track 61, allowing this invention to be positioned at a specific position on the track 61.

[0029] Compared to existing sliding rods, this invention can deform to change its width, making it suitable for tracks with different widths. Therefore, there is no need to prepare additional sliding rods for tracks of different widths. This invention is not only more flexible in use, but also saves the inconvenience and time wasted by frequently disassembling and assembling parts to adapt to different track widths, thus improving work efficiency.
