  • Publication number: 20240123379
    Abstract: A device and system for purifying a fluid is provided. The system includes a tank having an interior space and a media container disposed within the interior space. A valve is provided that cooperates with an element within the interior, the valve being movable between an open and a closed position. The valve being biased to the open position when the element is not positioned within the interior space, wherein the interior space is fluidly coupled to the atmosphere in the open position. The valve further being configured to move to a closed position when the element is positioned within the interior space.

  • Patent number: 5333972
    Abstract: An indexable, on edge, reversible cutting insert for use with a boring toolhead, comprising a body having parallelogram shaped top and bottom seating faces equipped with an off center aperture there through, and at least one cutting face. The cutting face is equipped with a bidirectional chip breaker groove on each side of the cutting face to define an island, each side groove having a slotting, progressively deepening recess extending along the edge of said cutting face, said groove presenting an increasing incident angled and having a positive rake and an axial rake around the edge of the cutting face, which together form an obtuse angle, said groove forming at least two cutting corners diagonally apposed to each other. Each cutting corner is comprised of a scalloped radius formed in the island which intersects a chip directional flat formed in the groove, at an obtuse angle to form a bidirectional pocket area.

  • Patent number: 4963061
    Abstract: In a ceramic indexable cutting insert, an edge strengthening land extends rearwardly of a beveled cutting edge at an angle of from about 80 to about 100 degrees with respect to the peripheral side surface, and a grooved recess extents rearwardly and along the edge strengthening land to direct chips upwardly and outwardly away from the insert and the cutting edge. In one embodiment of the present invention intended for conditions of heavy depth of cut, enhanced edge strength is sacrificed and an edge strengthened land is not provided.
