Strut holding and guiding driven reciprocating saw blade, includes unitary tabs which are mutually offset along strut length

摘要

The tabs (7-10) are offset relative to one another along the strut (1) and are unitary with it. One tab (10) includes a guide block (15). This engages into a slot (16) of the saw blade. The tabs are located centrally, and at the front of the strut. They project down beyond its lower edge (6). A channel (20) aids longitudinal reinforcement and stability. The strut is manufactured by forming from flat metal, avoiding cutting. It is stamped or laser-cut from a plate. It is stainless steel.
