A saw table with a releasable locking device

摘要

A releasable locking device for acting between a first member 5 and a second member 3, the two members 3,5 being held against relative motion when the device is in its locking position (Figure 1) and being free to move relative to each other when the device is in its release position (Figure 2), the locking device comprising a flanged pin 7 for passing through the first member 5 and engaging a second member 3 and releasable means 17 for acting between the flange 15 of the pin 7 and the first member 5 to drive the first member 5 towards the second member 3 until relative motion between the first and second members 3,5 is prevented. The locking device is particularly suitable for locking a round table 5 and a fixed table 3 of a circular saw base table 1 together when a saw cut is to be made.
