  • Publication number: 20160114401
    Abstract: To make it possible for bores (16) that are in line with one another to be efficiently worked by means of a boring bar (2), the boring bar has a main body (10) with an axis of rotation (R) and a number of cutting elements (12, 12A) at intervals from one another in the axial direction (4) and also guiding elements (14) for guiding the main body (10) in a guiding bore (16A). The guiding elements (14) are kept at a distance from the axis of rotation (R) equivalent to a guide radius (r1). The main body (10) is divided into a functional region (19) and an eccentric region (10), wherein the cutting elements (12, 12A) and the guiding elements (14) are arranged such that they are distributed around the main body (10) over an angular range (a) of less than 180°. Furthermore, the circumferential side (22) of the main body (10) can be passed eccentrically through a respective bore (16, 16A) of which the unworked tube radius (r2) is less than the guide radius (r1).

  • Publication number: 20150328703
    Abstract: The invention relates to a tool head for a rotary tool. The tool head extends along, and rotates about, a rotational axis in a rotational direction during operation. The tool head is designed for replaceable fastening on a carrier shank of the rotary tool and comprises on the back thereof a coupling surface comprising a first serration having a plurality of ribs running parallel to one another and grooves running parallel to one another. The first serration comprises at least two part-serrations oriented toward one another in the rotational direction at an angle. Each part-serration having a plurality of ribs and grooves running parallel, for centering the tool head relative to the carrier shank. The invention furthermore relates to a rotary tool having such a tool head.

  • Publication number: 20150290729
    Abstract: In order to achieve as highly accurate an alignment of the frictional tool as possible and therefore as high a drilled hole quality as possible during the precision machining of a drilled hole, the cutting edges of the frictional tool are divided into two cutting groups, the cutting edges of which are spaced apart with respect to one another in each case by an axial spacing from one another. Here, the axial spacing is selected in such a way that, at a predefined first, slower feed speed, merely the cutting edges of the first cutting edge group are in engagement with the workpiece and, at a higher, predefined second feed speed, all cutting edges are in engagement with the workpiece.

  • Patent number: 9114597
    Abstract: A prong style file fastener and the method of manufacture is disclosed which has a protective element to prevent damage to paper documents and personal injury. In one embodiment, the prongs of the fastener are covered with a heat shrinkable sheath. In another, the prongs are overcoated with a powder coating which is melted thereon. A method of applying the sheath to the prongs uses a pair of jaws or V-shaped surface to drive the sheath onto the prongs.
