Abstract

A saw blade holder for a circular saw blade having a central aperture. The saw blade holder includes a base and a blade mount extending from the base. The blade mount includes threads. The blade mount is configured to be received in the central aperture of the circular saw blade. The saw blade holder further includes a retaining member including threads. The retaining member is removably coupled to the blade mount for retaining the circular saw blade on the blade mount.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1 . A saw blade holder for a circular saw blade, the circular saw blade having a central aperture, the saw blade holder comprising:
a base including a window;
a wall provided around the window to border the window, the wall extending from a first side of the base;
a blade mount extending from a second side of the base opposite the first side, the blade mount including threads, the blade mount configured to be received in the central aperture of the circular saw blade; and
a retaining member including threads, the retaining member removably coupled to the blade mount for retaining the circular saw blade on the blade mount.

2 . The saw blade holder of claim 1 , wherein the threads on the blade mount and the threads on the retaining member include triple start threads.

3 . The saw blade holder of claim 1 , wherein the threads on the blade mount and the threads on the retaining member include multi start threads.

4 . The saw blade holder of claim 1 , further comprising a lip around an external circumference of the base, the lip axially extending away from the base.

5 . The saw blade holder of claim 4 , wherein the lip includes a plurality of raised portions and a plurality of recessed portions.

6 . The saw blade holder of claim 5 , wherein the plurality of recessed portions and the window are configured to provide access to the circular saw blade.

7 . The saw blade holder of claim 1 , wherein the retaining member includes a plurality of wings, and wherein the retaining member is configured to abut the circular saw blade.

8 . A saw blade holder for a circular saw blade, the circular saw blade having a central aperture, the saw blade holder comprising:
a base; a blade mount extending from the base, the blade mount configured to be received in the central aperture of the circular saw blade; and a retaining member including a plurality of wings formed in a perimeter of the retaining member, the retaining member removably coupled to the blade mount for retaining the circular saw blade on the blade mount, the plurality of wings configured to abut the circular saw blade to retain the circular saw blade on the blade mount, the retaining member being generally annular and including a first generally planar side and a second generally planar side opposite and parallel to the first generally planar side, the first generally planar side configured to abut the circular saw blade; wherein the blade mount includes threads, wherein the retaining member includes threads, and wherein the threads of the retaining member are removably coupled to the threads of the blade mount.

9 . The saw blade holder of claim 8 , wherein the plurality of wings is configured to assist removal of the retaining member from the blade mount.

10 . The saw blade holder of claim 8 , wherein the threads on the blade mount and the threads on the retaining member include multi start threads.

11 . The saw blade holder of claim 8 , wherein the plurality of wings defines a planar first side of the retaining member, and wherein the planar first side of the retaining member is configured to abut the circular saw blade to retain the circular saw blade on the blade mount.

12 . The saw blade holder of claim 8 , wherein the plurality of wings includes three wings, and wherein each wing is configured to abut the circular saw blade to retain the circular saw blade on the blade mount.

13 . A saw blade holder for a circular saw blade, the circular saw blade having a central aperture, the saw blade holder comprising:
a base including a lip axially extending a first distance from an outer circumference of the base; a blade mount axially extending a second distance from the base, the second distance less than the first distance, the blade mount configured to be received in the central aperture of the circular saw blade; and a retaining member removably coupled to the blade mount for retaining the circular saw blade on the blade mount, wherein the retaining member is positioned a third distance away from the base when the retaining member abuts the circular saw blade, and wherein the third distance is less than the first distance.

14 . The saw blade holder of claim 13 , wherein
the circular saw blade is a first of a plurality of circular saw blades, the plurality of circular saw blades includes a second circular saw blade positioned between the first circular saw blade and the base, the retaining member is positioned the third distance away from the base when the retaining member abuts the first circular saw blade, and the third distance is less than the first distance.

15 . The saw blade holder of claim 13 , wherein the lip includes a plurality of raised portions and a plurality of recessed portions.

16 . The saw blade holder of claim 15 , wherein
the plurality of raised portions extends the first distance from the outer circumference of the base,
the plurality of recessed portions extends a fourth distance from the outer circumference of the base,
the fourth distance is less than the first distance, and
the plurality of recessed portions is configured to provide access to the circular saw blade.

17 . The saw blade holder of claim 13 , wherein the lip is configured to engage a rear side of a second saw blade holder to stack the second saw blade holder on top of the saw blade holder.

18 . The saw blade holder of claim 13 , further comprising an anti-rotation member extending radially inward from the lip, wherein the anti-rotation member is configured to be received between adjacent teeth of the circular saw blade.

19 . The saw blade holder of claim 18 , wherein the anti-rotation member extends the first distance from the base.

20 . A saw blade holder for a circular saw blade, the circular saw blade having a central aperture, the saw blade holder comprising:
a base; a blade mount extending from the base, the blade mount configured to be received in the central aperture of the circular saw blade; and a retaining member including a plurality of wings formed in a perimeter of the retaining member, the retaining member removably coupled to the blade mount for retaining the circular saw blade on the blade mount, the plurality of wings configured to abut the circular saw blade to retain the circular saw blade on the blade mount; wherein the plurality of wings defines a planar first side of the retaining member, wherein the planar first side of the retaining member is configured to abut the circular saw blade to retain the circular saw blade on the blade mount, and wherein the planar first side defines an outermost diameter of the retaining member.
