  • Publication number: 20060115340
    Abstract: A milling tool includes a cutting tool insert, roughly plate-shaped and having a rake face on an upper face and a flank on a side face and a main cutting edge at an intersection ridge line part at the intersection of the rake face and the flank, fitted in the periphery of a substantially cylindrical holder removably and so that an axial rake angle of the cutting edge ridge line of the main cutting edge is positive. When the cutting tool insert is rotated about the axis of rotation of the holder, the shape of the locus of rotation of the main cutting edge in a section parallel to the axis of rotation is made an approximate circular arc shape swelling outward with progress from the ends to the center.

  • Patent number: 5285835
    Abstract: This invention relates to high-speed radial tires, and more particularly to radial tires wherein the thickness ratio (Gc-Gs)/Gc, that is the ratio of the difference between the crown tread thickness Gc, which is a thickness of the tread on the equator of the tire, and the shoulder tread thickness Gs, which is a thickness of the tread of the ground contact surface at the outer edge in direction of the tire axis, to the crown tread thickness Gc is set to be 0 or more and 0.8 or less. By setting the ratio within a range of 0 to 0.8, the force Fs acting in the radial direction on the tread shoulder part, out of the total load acting to the tire, is decreased, thus, the deformation in the bead part is diminished and the permanence in the bead part can be improved. In a tire having the ratio of 0 to 0.
