Abstract: A free standing, or wall mounted narrow storage rack composed of two side panels, and three horizontal panels created primarily for storage of brooms, dust mops and similar shaped items by the handle or shaft vertically in narrow spaces preventing contact with the wall and allowing easy access or retrieval thru the top, side or front.

Abstract: A shaper cutter includes an elongated body having a flat forward end surface perpendicular to the axis of the body and having teeth formed around its periphery, and further includes a thin insert being mechanically secured to the end surface of the body and having peripheral cutting teeth which lie against the teeth of the body, the teeth of the insert serving to cut a work piece and being backed by the teeth of the body. The insert is in the form of a Belleville spring which, in its unstressed state, has a conical shape. The mechanical means used to secure the insert to the body deflects the insert into a flat configuration whereby its bottom side is forced into intimate face to face contact with the flat forward end surface of the body, and the teeth of the insert are thus positively biased by inherent spring force against the flat end surface of the supporting teeth, and are operable to cut a work piece as the tool is advanced forwardly.

Abstract: A shaper cutter includes a body having teeth formed around its periphery and further includes a thin wafer disposed against a conical face of the body and formed with peripheral cutting teeth which lie against the teeth of the body, the teeth of the wafer serving to cut a workpiece and being backed by the teeth of the body. As the wafer is clamped to the body, it is flexed from a flat condition to a deflected condition in which the wafer lies against and conforms to the conical face of the body. To hold the deflected wafer in a rigidly fixed angular position on the body, a pin which is anchored to the body projects into a hole in the wafer. The hole is specially located and configured to coact with the pin to orient the wafer angularly relative to the body prior to deflection of the wafer and then to establish substantial areas of surface contact with the pin after deflection of the wafer.

Abstract: A shaper cutter includes a conical body having teeth formed around its periphery and further includes a thin wafer disposed against the face of the body and formed with peripheral cutting teeth which lie against the teeth of the body, the teeth of the wafer serving to cut a workpiece and being backed by the teeth of the body. The wafer is bonded to the face of the body by a high strength adhesive which may be heated to destroy the bond and enable removal and replacement of the wafer when the cutting teeth thereof become worn. As a result of bonding the wafer directly to the body, there are no clamps creating axial interference ahead of the wafer and, in addition, lateral deflection of the wafer teeth during cutting is reduced.

Abstract: A shaper cutter includes a conical body having teeth formed around its periphery and a flexible wafer is disposed against the face of the body and is formed with peripheral teeth overlying the teeth on the body. The face of the body is concave and conical so that, when the center portion of the wafer is clamped to the body, the wafer flexes to lie against the face with the result that the teeth on the wafer are held firmly against the teeth on the body. The edges of the teeth of the wafer constitute the cutting edges of the cutter so that, when the cutting edges become dull, the wafer is simply removed and replaced with a new one. In another form, the teeth on the body are helical and their end faces are inclined in stepped relation while the wafer teeth are on the free ends of flexible fingers which, when the wafer is clamped to the body, flex to lie against the end faces of the teeth on the body.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for generating a shape on the periphery of a non-rotating workpiece by orbiting a rotating shaping cutter in cutting engagement with the workpiece while reciprocating the cutter along its own axis.

Abstract: A newly formed gear is checked for composite error by holding the gear in a rotationally stationary position and by orbiting and rolling a master gear around the newly formed gear.

Abstract: A tramming fixture and method for accurately tramming in, or positioning, a dressing wheel with respect to a dressing axis of a dressing machine so that all points on the surface of the dressing wheel which contact the workpiece during dressing are equi-distant from such dressing machine axis. In accordance with this invention, the tramming fixture provides a mechanism for obtaining a measurement representative of the distance between a reference line and the point of dressing contact on the peripheral surface of the dressing wheel. By tilting or rotating the dressing wheel about the dressing axis through predetermined angles, taking corresponding distance measurements, and comparing the measurements, a determination can be made of the appropriate position adjustment required to properly locate the dressing wheel.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for accurately producing relieved cutting tools and other relieved shapes by electrical erosion, whereby the workpiece is maintained in a horizontal position and a wire electrode is tilted at the desired relief angle from vertical after which they are moved relative to each other in a manner such that the spacing between them in a horizontal plane is compensated for the elliptical cross-section of the working gap in the horizontal plane.

Abstract: A cutter blade for use in cutting metal is formed with a recess spaced behind the cutting edge on the cutting face to save expensive cutting material, to reduce the time and energy required to sharpen the cutter blade, and to lengthen the life of the sharpening tool. High density sintered powdered tool steel lends itself well to this construction, as do cast and forged tool steels.
