Abstract:
A cutting tool includes a cutting tool body having an axial forward end, an axial rearward end, a head portion adjacent the axial forward end and a shank portion adjacent the axial rearward end. The head portion includes a partial frusto-conical portion having a first lateral edge and a second lateral edge; a first side surface having a first lateral transition edge and a first terminal edge, wherein the first lateral transition edge is adjoined to the first lateral edge of the partial frusto-conical portion; and a second side surface having a second lateral transition edge and a second terminal edge, wherein the second lateral transition edge is adjoined to the second lateral edge of the partial frusto-conical portion, and wherein the first terminal edge is adjoined to the second terminal edge to form a cutting edge. The cutting tool also includes a hard cutting tip.

Abstract:
A rotary cutting tool that is composed of a tool shank with at least one chucking groove or chip flute and one exchangeable cutting insert. At the tip of the shank a recess for accommodating the cutting insert is provided. The tool shank, on its circumference, has a limb with a bearing surface that is inclined relative to the tool axis and that corresponds to a likewise inclined bearing surface on a wing of the cutting insert. The inclination of the bearing surfaces produces an axial force that retains the cutting insert on the tool shank. The abstract of the disclosure is submitted herewith as required by 37 C.F.R. §1.72(b). As stated in 37 C.F.R. §1.72(b): A brief abstract of the technical disclosure in the specification must commence on a separate sheet, preferably following the claims, under the heading “Abstract of the Disclosure.” The purpose of the abstract is to enable the Patent and Trademark Office and the public generally to determine quickly from a cursory inspection the nature and gist of the technical disclosure. The abstract shall not be used for interpreting the scope of the claims. Therefore, any statements made relating to the abstract are not intended to limit the claims in any manner and should not be interpreted as limiting the claims in any manner.

Abstract:
An assembly generally comprises a collet for receiving a cutting tool shank and a lock nut for creating a gripping force between the collet and the cutting tool shank. The collet has a nose and the lock nut has a front face that is substantially flush with the nose. The lock nut further has a fastening element that mates with a fastening element of a coolant sealing ring for attaching the coolant sealing ring to the lock nut so that the coolant sealing ring may be detached from the lock nut.
Abstract:
A collet and lock nut assembly includes a collet for receiving a cutting tool shank and a lock nut for creating a gripping force between the collet and the shank. The collet has a nose portion and a body portion separated by an annular groove. The lock nut has a plurality of retention tabs and a corresponding number of clear portions. The collet and lock nut assembly can be easily assembled by inserting at least one retention tab within the groove of the collet, and then applying pressure to the collet such that the remaining retention tabs of the lock nut are received within the groove of the collet to place the assembly in a locked position. The collet and cutting tool shank can be drawn from the tool holder by applying rotational torque to the lock nut. The collet is easily removed from the lock nut by applying pressure in any circumferential, lateral direction against the collet.
Abstract:
Molding compositions comprise a copolyetherester (A), (B) an aromatic thermoplastic polyester and a multistage rubbery elastomer (C) comprising a crosslinked (meth)acrylate phase and an interpenetrating, crosslinked styrenic phase and optionally, a mineral filler (D). Such compositions are useful for making molded articles with a good balance of modulus and elongation properties.
Abstract:
A side actuated collet lock mechanism includes a collet; a drawbar at least partially disposed within the collet, and a pair of wedge members threadingly received onto each end of a double-ended drive screw. The drive screw is rotated to cause the wedge members to move downward such that a first cam surface engages the drawbar. The drawbar and collet are pulled into the tool holder and firmly secure the shank. To remove the shank, the drive screw is rotated in an opposite direction to cause the wedge members to move upward such that a second cam surface engages the drawbar. The drawbar and the collet are pushed out from the toolholder, thereby releasing the shank.

Abstract:
Briefly, according to this invention, there is provided a balancing assembly for balancing a rotating member and the combination of a rotating member and balancing assembly. The balancing assembly includes an annular ring, a locking member and a cover. The annular ring has an opening for receiving the rotating member and at least one removable primary balancing weight and at least one removable secondary balancing weight. The locking member secures the annular ring with respect to the rotating member. The cover operatively contains the secondary balancing weight with respect to the annular ring and includes a connecting section for removably coupling the cover to the annular ring.
