Description: |
| "In the termite control business, and elsewhere, it is necessary to cut through studs in order to facilitate removal and replacement of damaged ones thereof. Frequently, the stud cutting operation must be accomplished within the confines of a crawl-through area, or the like, beneath a house, and accordingly the power saws or other stud cutting apparatus that are used for this purpose must be highly portable and readily manipulable." The invention here bears a marked resemblance to a biscuit jointer, which had been patented only seven years earlier in Switzerland. The biscuit joiner was almost certainly unknown in America at that time, and so this stud cutter was not inspired by it. |
