  • Patent number: 11883889
    Abstract: A support assembly for a core drill uses an improved reinforcement. The reinforcement can include an extension extending between a center of the tool and a perimeter of the tool the extension can be a non-planar structure having a channel along a portion of the structure. The reinforcement can include a slanted element that can be associated with the extension, that can be formed monolithic with the extension, or otherwise combined with an extension. Multiple slanted elements can be used to form an extension. A top plate can be included for strengthening the reinforcement.

  • Publication number: 20230373016
    Abstract: A support assembly for a core drill which utilizes an improved high strength spoked reinforcer. The reinforcer may be removably mounted a core drill tube by fasteners. A drive connection is removably mounted and centrally located on an outer disc of a pair of discs. The drive connection is adapted to connect with a drive shaft to cause rotation of the tube. The assembly can also include a split in the disc when the high strength spoked reinforcer is not welded thereto, thereby providing a means of water control. The high strength spoked reinforcer can be a separate piece that is bolted to the disc or can be integrally formed as one piece therewith.

  • Patent number: 9573199
    Abstract: A bolt on drive assembly for a core drill which utilizes an improved high strength spoked reinforcer mounted beneath a disc. The disc and high strength spoke reinforcer are removably mounted on the tube by bolt fasteners. A drive connection is removably mounted and centrally located on a outer disc of the pair of discs. The drive connection is adapted to connect with a drive shaft to cause rotation of the tube. The system can also include a split in the disc when the high strength spoked reinforcer is not welded thereto thereby providing a means of water control. The high strength spoked reinforcer can be a separate piece that is bolted to the disc or can be integrally formed as one piece therewith. An adapter is provided that allows for standard drilling that fits into a recess in the center hub and is removable to expose the recess for attachment to a specialized drill motor, such as an A-flange.

  • Patent number: 8347873
    Abstract: A heat reducing slot that is part of a saw blade that includes tips that will house carbide or other tips that are to be attached through a torch or induction. Heat reducing slots repeat for each tip on the perimeter of a blade that will be treated with high heat. For each tip, there is a general area defined near the seat and groove of the tip. In this general area a slot is inserted that has the effect of reducing the amount of heat needed to be applied to the blade for the attachment of carbide or other tips.

  • Patent number: 8333182
    Abstract: An improved slot for a circular saw blade that reduces thermal cracking that occurs during the use of the blade. The slot extends from the peripheral edge of the blade in a vertical direction toward the center of the blade. It has an initial channel that takes a slight curve as it extends toward the center of the blade, but remains in a substantially vertical orientation until it terminates in a curve that is convex when viewed from the peripheral edge toward the center hole. The curve extends in both directions away from the channel portion. The first curve extends at a length that is longer than the length of the second curve. The curve does not complete a circle, but resembles a circle that has had been snipped at one point and one side hangs down below the other. Each curve terminates in an aperture.
