Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090035074Integral cutting insert clamping mechanism - An integral insert clamping mechanism for transferring clamping forces away from the screw hole of the insert to relieve stress at the screw hole by way of protrusions located on the bottom surface of the clamp plate. The clamping mechanism functions by a clamp plate being seated within an indentation on the top surface of the insert and a screw inserted into screw holes of the clamp plate and the insert and then threadably engaged with a threaded bore of a milling cutter. The top surfaces of the screw, the insert and the clamp plate being substantially coplanar. In an alternative embodiment, the clamp plate having a chip breaker.02-05-2009
20090214304HELICAL MILLING CUTTER - A cutting tool having an outer surface with a plurality of inserts connected to a distinct pocket extending generally radially on the outer surface. The cutting inserts are arranged in a helical array on the outer surface in a manner that at least one cutting edge of each cutting insert is spaced in an angular circumferential direction from the pocket of the next adjacent cutting insert. The spacing of the inserts is such that a distinct point on the each one of the one or more cutting edges define part of a layout line having a non-uniform slope.08-27-2009
20100158620Toolholder and Toolholder Assembly with Elongated Seating pads - A toolholder has a pocket adapted to receive a double-sided on-edge cutting insert, wherein the corners of each side of the insert are radially shifted with respect to one another and has mounting pads preferably mounted about the sides of the cutting insert. The relief area for the corners of the insert is selectively fabricated to maximize the length of the support pads within the pocket of the toolholder.06-24-2010

20080226403Indexable cutting insert with positive axial rake angle and multiple cutting edges - An indexable cutting insert includes a first component with an outer or top surface and side surfaces. A third component is mirror symmetric with respect to the first component about a vertical or y-axis of the cutting insert. A second component is disposed between the first and third components. Multiple cutting edges are defined at an intersection between the side surfaces and the top surface, wherein the cutting edges define a positive axial rake angle. In one embodiment, the first and third components are in the shape of a polygonal with a star appearance, and the second component is in the shape of a square. The first and third components are offset from one another by a first offset angle, while the second component is offset from the first and third components by a second offset angle to allow the cutting insert to be indexable.09-18-2008
20080310929TOOL AND METHOD FOR MACHINING A WORKPIECE, SUCH AS A MILLING TOOL FOR MACHINING A WORKPIECE, AND THE METHOD THEREOF - Tool and method for machining a workpiece, such as a milling tool for machining a workpiece, and the method thereof. The abstract of the disclosure is submitted herewith as required by 12-18-2008
20090129874CUTTING INSERT WITH SERRATIONS - A cutting insert has four quadrants defined by vertical and horizontal axes that pass through a centerline axis of the insert. The cutting insert further includes a top surface; a bottom surface; a plurality of clearance side surfaces extending between the top and bottom surfaces. A cutting edge is formed at an intersection between the top surface and the clearance side surfaces. A serration is formed in each clearance side surface such that two of the four quadrants that are diagonally opposite each other do not have serrations, and the other two of the four quadrants that are diagonally opposite each other include a pair of serrations. The cutting insert can be mounted to a milling cutter in a variety of patterns by rotating one cutting insert relative to another cutting insert in the same flute or in a different flute.05-21-2009
20090175694CUTTING TOOL WITH INTEGRATED CIRCUIT CHIP - A system manages a machine tool operation. The system includes a cutting tool, which includes a tool body; an integrated circuit chip securely mounted within the tool body and capable of being read and written upon; and a read/write device for communicating with the integrated circuit chip. The integrated circuit chip is an RFID chip. The tool body may be a mounting chuck, adapter, twist drill, thread tap, indexable drill, milling cutter or a square shank lathe tool.07-09-2009

20100224100THREE-DIMENSIONAL PAINT COMPOSITION - Three-dimensional paint compositions comprise a urethane dispersion and a thickener present in effective amounts to allow the composition to retain three-dimensional stability. The three-dimensional paint compositions are phthalate-free. A system also provides a dispenser or applicator for applying the three-dimensional paint compositions. The three-dimensional paint compositions are preferably toy products intended primarily for use by parents, teachers, and children. Methods for making three-dimensional paint compositions include combining a urethane dispersion and a thickener to form a mixture, and alternatively adding, for example, a coloring agent, preservative, biocide, or combinations thereof.09-09-2010
