STOCK GUIDE ASSEMBLY

摘要

A stock guide assembly guides movement of stock along a work table. The assembly includes a base and a roller operatively connected to the base to engage stock and hold it against the work table. In some embodiments, a biasing member yieldably biases the roller to urge the stock toward the work table and accommodate changes in thickness of the stock. The roller can be mounted at a skew angle to urge the stock toward a fence of the work table. The assembly can include a shaft movable with respect to the base for translationally adjusting the distance of the roller from the base and rotatably adjusting the distance between the roller and the work table. The roller can be rotatably mounted to the end of an arm oriented relative the work table so stock kickback drives the arm to pivot and drive the roller toward the work surface.

主权项

1. A stock guide assembly for use with a work table to guide movement of stock along a work surface of the work table in a feed direction, the stock guide assembly comprising:
a base configured for mounting on the work table to secure the stock guide assembly thereto; a roller operatively connected to the base at a skew angle for rotation relative to the base about a roller axis oriented at a transverse, non-perpendicular angle relative the feed direction and for movement in directions generally transverse to the roller axis, the roller being disposed relative to the base so that when the base is mounted on the work table, the roller is positioned to engage stock passing by the base to hold the stock against the work table; a biasing member operatively connected to the base and to the roller for yieldably biasing the roller relative to the base so that said transverse movement of the roller is biased in a direction toward the work surface when the base is mounted on the work table thereby allowing the roller to resiliently move relative to the work surface for accommodating changes in thickness of the stock.
