An inline edge-sealing apparatus and method for sealing the kerf surfaces of cut cellular PVC board includes a rotary saw with either a tandem sealing disc or with an integral elevated sealing surface that is dimensioned to provide precise interference with kerf surfaces for friction and heat to melt and seal the surfaces in an aesthetically desirable manner. A kerf splitter, such as a kerf splitting pin, rod or riving knife, may be provided following a saw blade with integral kerf-engaging surface to avoid disruption of the sealed surface when cut boards exit the saw blade teeth.

The present invention relates to a laying machine for laying at least one flexible casing or tube, cable or wire including: a blade arrangement for making a trench in the ground, a consolidation and laying means being arranged behind the blade arrangement, for clearing and safe-guarding the trench from collapsing while laying at least one flexible casing or tube, cable or wire into the trench. A blade assembly comprising compartments for cooling fluid and air.

An apparatus is provided for cutting a plurality of workpieces that is arranged relative to first, second, and third reference axes that are perpendicular to each other. The apparatus includes a cutting assembly and an input assembly. The cutting assembly includes a chassis, and first and second saw blades movably coupled to the chassis that are configured to respectively cut along first and second cutting planes that are transverse to each other. The input assembly includes a tabletop and first and second clamping mechanisms for clamping the workpieces collectively. The first clamping mechanism includes a first counterpart and a first movable member that is translatable along the first reference axis and translatable relative to the first counterpart. The second clamping mechanism includes a second counterpart and a plurality of second movable members that are each translatable along the second reference axis relative to the second counterpart.

The present invention relates to a laying machine for laying at least one flexible casing or tube, cable or wire including: a blade arrangement (2) for making a trench (5) in the ground, a consolidation and laying means (3) being arranged behind the blade arrangement (2), for clearing and safeguarding the trench (5) from collapsing while laying at least one flexible casing or tube, cable or wire into the trench. A blade assembly comprising compartments for cooling fluid.

A powered cutting tool for cutting tubular or cylindrical workpieces such as pipe is described. The cutting tool includes a base, an electric motor, a collection of rollers, a frame, a feedscrew, an auto cut wheel system, and a handle for rotating the feedscrew and adjusting the position of the auto cut wheel system relative to the rollers. In certain versions, the cutting tool includes torque-limiting provisions, to limit the amount of torque applied to the feedscrew. In certain versions, the cutting tool includes rollers and press wheels featuring non-metal outer surfaces.

A cutting tool (1) for producing a trench (2) in the ground (3) for laying cables (4), comprises a carrier device (5) which has a hub region (6) for connecting the cutting tool (1) to a rotary drive (7) and a peripheral region (8), wherein, arranged in the peripheral region (8) of the carrier device (5) are cutting segments (9) spaced from each other in an axial direction (10), wherein the carrier device (5) is in one piece and has a peripheral surface (11) at which are arranged raised portions (12, 13) which project from the peripheral surface (11) in a radial direction (14) and on which the cutting segments (9) are arranged.

A system and method for supporting a patient gas delivery tube includes an elongated support member having first and second distal end and a living hinge biasing arcuate movement between the distal ends. A generally planar, rigid base configured to secures a lower distal end so that the support member extends from a surface of the base. A mount secured to the other distal end is adapted to secure an associated tube. A system for manufacturing a hose support includes cutting of parallel slits in opposing sides of a tube wall, cutting away a portion of one tube end and bending it to form a shelf on which hose clams are placed.
