Abstract

A package for at least one saw blade defining a post opening includes a body defining a support surface, a post, a wall, and a cover. The post extends from the support surface and is configured to extend through the post opening defined in at least one saw blade. The wall extends from the support surface at least partially around the post. The cover is configured for connection to the wall and is further configured to be positioned adjacent to a free end of the post when connected to the wall to prevent removal of the post from the post opening when the at least one saw blade is mounted on the post.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A package for at least one saw blade including a post opening, the package comprising:
a body defining a support surface;
a post extending from the support surface and configured to extend through a post opening defined in the at least one saw blade;
a wall extending from the support surface at least partially around the post;
a cover configured for connection to the wall and further configured to be positioned adjacent to a free end of the post when connected to the wall to prevent removal of the post from the post opening when the at least one saw blade is mounted on the post, a fastener configured to extend through a first fastener opening defined by the wall and a second fastener opening defined by the cover to connect the cover to the wall.

2. The package of claim 1 , further comprising:
at least one ridge formed in the wall; and
at least one detent extending from the cover and configured to interlock with the at least one ridge to connect the cover to the wall.

3. The package of claim 1 , wherein: the support surface, the wall, and the cover at least partially define a cavity in which the post is located; and the wall includes a first wall end spaced apart from a second wall end to define a blade passage from which the at least one saw blade extends from the cavity.

4. The package of claim 3 , further comprising: a security device supported by the support surface, the wall, or the cover and located in the cavity.

5. A package assembly comprising:
at least one saw blade defining a post opening;
a package including (i) a body defining a support surface, (ii) a post extending from the support surface and configured to extend through the post opening of the at least one saw blade, (iii) a wall extending from the support surface at least partially around the post, and (iv) a cover configured for connection to the wall and further configured to be positioned adjacent to a free end of the post when connected to the wall to prevent removal of the post from the post opening when the at least one saw blade is mounted on the post; and
a fastener configured to extend through a first fastener opening defined by the wall and a second fastener opening defined by the cover to connect the cover to the wall.

6. The package assembly of claim 5 , wherein:
the support surface, the wall, and the cover at least partially define a cavity in which the post is located,
the wall includes a first wall end spaced apart from a second wall end to define a blade passage from which the at least one saw blade extends from the cavity, and
a passage width of the blade passage is substantially the same as a blade width of a portion of the at least one saw blade extending through the passage.

7. The package assembly of claim 5 , wherein:
the at least one saw blade further defines an attachment end including a shoulder, a tang, and the post opening, and
the package further comprises (i) a base element extending from the support surface and positioned adjacent to the shoulder and the cover when the cover is connected to the wall and the at least one saw blade is mounted on the post, and (ii) a tang element extending from the support surface and positioned adjacent to the tang and the cover when the cover is connected to the wall and the at least one saw blade is mounted on the post.

8. The package assembly of claim 5 , further comprising:
at least one ridge formed in the wall; and
at least one detent extending from the cover and configured to interlock with the at least one ridge to connect the cover to the wall.

9. The package assembly of claim 5 , further comprising:
a security device supported by the body and positioned between the support surface and the cover.

10. A package assembly comprising:
at least one saw blade defining a post opening;
a package including (i) a body defining a support surface, (ii) a post extending from the support surface and configured to extend through the post opening of the at least one saw blade, (iii) a wall extending from the support surface at least partially around the post, and (iv) a cover configured for connection to the wall and further configured to be positioned adjacent to a free end of the post when connected to the wall to prevent removal of the post from the post opening when the at least one saw blade is mounted on the post,
wherein the body defines a blade opening through which a portion of the at least one saw blade extends, such that a first portion of the at least one saw blade is positioned in front of the support surface and a second portion of the at least one saw blade is positioned behind the support surface.

11. The package assembly of claim 10 , wherein:
the support surface, the wall, and the cover at least partially define a cavity in which the post is located,
the wall includes a first wall end spaced apart from a second wall end to define a blade passage from which the at least one saw blade extends from the cavity, and
a passage width of the blade passage is substantially the same as a blade width of a portion of the at least one saw blade extending through the passage.

12. The package assembly of claim 10 , wherein:
the at least one saw blade further defines an attachment end including a shoulder, a tang, and the post opening, and
the package further comprises (i) a base element extending from the support surface and positioned adjacent to the shoulder and the cover when the cover is connected to the wall and the at least one saw blade is mounted on the post, and (ii) a tang element extending from the support surface and positioned adjacent to the tang and the cover when the cover is connected to the wall and the at least one saw blade is mounted on the post.

13. The package assembly of claim 10 , further comprising:
at least one ridge formed in the wall; and
at least one detent extending from the cover and configured to interlock with the at least one ridge to connect the cover to the wall.

14. The package assembly of claim 10 , further comprising:
a security device supported by the body and positioned between the support surface and the cover.

15. The package assembly of claim 10 , wherein:
the wall defines a first fastener opening;
the cover defines a second fastener opening that is configured for alignment with the first fastener opening; and
a fastener extends through the first fastener opening and the second fastener opening to connect the cover to the wall.
