The transverse pivot axis is defined by a torsional hinge that automatically returns the holder to a neutral position when the adjustment force is removed.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 1993Date of Patent: June 6, 1995Assignee: Valenite Inc.Inventor: Raymond A. Stephens

Patent number: 5368420Abstract: A cutting chisel holder which is controlled by pressure and constructed as a rotary drill head which can be precisely adjusted by hydraulic means has a cutting chisel, which can be clamped in, with a base and a driven member which is movable relative to the base, and has a pressure chamber arranged between the base and driven member, as well as a pressure medium feed. The driven member moves parallel to itself under the influence of the pressure medium and, in doing so, causes a movement of the cutting chisel on a curved path extending approximately vertically to the axis of rotation of the drill head by parts acting mechanically without friction.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 1993Date of Patent: November 29, 1994Assignee: Samson AGInventors: Wilfried Gerk, Hartmut Hirt

Patent number: 5358363Abstract: A deburring tool including an elongated arbor formed with a cutting blade recess, a unitary cutting tool having a cutting head, a trailing terminal portion, an elongated, flat resilient blade extending therefrom which is received in the recess and a mounting mechanism securing the cutting tool to the arbor. The mounting mechanism includes an adjustable screw threadably mounted in the arbor transversely of the longitudinal axis of the arbor for fixedly engaging the terminal portion of the cutting tool. The mounting mechanism also includes an adjustable locking screw extending transversely through the recess and the blade to define a pivot point about which the cutting tool can pivot and has a non-threaded hemispherical portion which terminates in a flat edge. The resilient blade includes an open ended slot having an arcuately closed end which presents a flat at one end of the arc of the slot.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 1993Date of Patent: October 25, 1994Assignee: E-Z Burr Tool CompanyInventor: William A. Robinson

Patent number: 5336026Abstract: An adjustable cartridge to be mounted in the end of a boring bar, the cartridge including an anvil rotatably affixed to said boring bar, said anvil including a pocket into which a indexable insert is affixed. The anvil is secured in an axially oriented slot which includes an arcuate seating face which includes a key and key way slot. Rotation of the anvil within the slot effects radial adjustment of the insert a key pin serves to pivotally secure the cartridge within the pocket. In addition, the level or back taper of the insert can be adjusted.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 1992Date of Patent: August 9, 1994Assignee: Valenite Inc.Inventor: Kenneth G. Noggle

Patent number: 5320458Abstract: A cutting tool includes a rotary bar having an arcuate pocket in its side surface, and a segmental carrier arcuately slidable in the pocket to adjust the position of a cutting tip on a cutter blade. The carrier has a second arcuate pocket that slidably receives a segment-shaped shoe, such that the shoe can be arcuately adjusted to control or vary the back taper angle on the blade. The cutting blade is mounted flatwise on one face of the shoe, such that a corner tip on the blade projects beyond the profile of the rotary bar for use in reaming a hole in a workpiece. The adjustment axis of the shoe is coincident with the cutting tip on the reamer blade so that adjusting motions of the shoe do not disturb the position of the cutting tip achieved by arcuate adjustment of the carrier.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 1993Date of Patent: June 14, 1994Assignee: Valenite Inc.Inventors: Lee Reiterman, Kenneth G.

Patent number: 5209145Abstract: A tool is described for boring spherically curved inner surfaces consisting of a main body which rotates about its longitudinal axis during the boring operation. A swivel housing is mounted on an axle bolt in the main body and can thus be swiveled about an axis at right angles to the longitudinal axis. The swivel motion is produced with the aid of a linkage arrangement provided in the tool. A cutting tool holder is guided for longitudinal displacement in the swivel housing at right angles to the axle bolt. The cutting tool holder is supported lateral wedge surfaces on a mating wedge surface of the axle bolt and extends with a shank part through the axle bolt. With the aid of a compression spring and an adjusting screw, the axle bolt can be displaced in the longitudinal direction relative to the cutting tool holder to adjust the radial spacing of the cutter from the axle bolt by the mating wedge surface.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 1992Date of Patent: May 11, 1993Assignee: Cross Europa-Werk GmbHInventor: Adolf Baudermann

Patent number: 5203856Abstract: A tool mechanism for machining a hole side surface, and for chamfering the ends of the hole, includes a boring cutter and two chamfer cutters oriented so that during an axial infeed of the cutter assembly the hole side surface is machined and a chamfer is formed at one end of the hole. The cutter assembly can be shifted transversely to position a chamfer cutter for machining a second chamfer on the other end of the hole. The cutter assembly is carried on a cutter support member that is swingably mounted on a tool body secured to the spindle of the cutting machine. An actuator device is movable along the tool body axis to adjust the position of the cutter support member.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 1992Date of Patent: April 20, 1993Assignee: GTE Valenite CorporationInventor: Raymond Stephens
