  • Patent number: 7857555
    Abstract: A double-sided indexable cutting bit has the basic shape of a prism with cutting edges along a part of the intersection lines of the peripherally extending faces with the upper and lower faces and no cutting edges at another part of the intersection lines of side faces with the upper and lower faces. An indexable bit holder has a first support face for supporting an indexable cutting bit. In respect of the indexable cutting bit, in plan view on to the upper or lower face, at least a part of the side faces respectively has at least one respective concave recess that is adapted to receive a support element. In respect of the indexable bit holder, two support elements extend from oppositely disposed portions of the support face substantially perpendicularly to the first support face, which support elements define respective further second and third support faces that are perpendicular to the first support face and that face towards each other.

  • Publication number: 20100322728
    Abstract: A drill of the loose top type, which is composed of a basic body and a replaceable loose top. In the front end of the basic body, a jaw is formed, which is delimited by two elastically bendable branches and an intermediate axial support surface, and in which the loose top can be securely pinched by inner support surfaces of the branches being resiliently pressed against side contact surfaces of the loose top. The two side contact surfaces of the loose top extend rearward from clearance surfaces that are included in the front end of the loose top. By forming the diametrical dimension between opposite side contact surfaces greater nearer the front end of the loose top, the branches of the jaw securely pinch the loose top in the area of the front ends thereof, where the branches have their maximal bending capacity.

  • Patent number: 7833011
    Abstract: A method of igniting and monitoring a high speed burner with which a fuel/oxygen-mixture exits at high velocity from a burner head, wherein the length of the flame is governed by the exit velocity of the mixture. The invention is characterized by placing an electrically conductive pipe in and concentrical with the burner channel for the fuel mixture, by causing a first end of the pipe to terminate close to the fuel mixture outlet of the burner head, by electrically isolating the pipe and by causing the detection of light of the group ultraviolet light, visible light and/or infrared light to be detected at the other end of the pipe, and by causing a spark to be generated between the first end of the pipe and the surrounding burner head by application of a voltage, in igniting the burner. A burner is also disclosed.
