Abstract
Abstract A holder or nest for pin-type replaceable cutting inserts having a circular aperture centrally disposed therein, includes a pin extending perpendicularly to the face of the holder, the pin being cylindrical and being formed with a pair of discrete opposed axially-extending portions, each of the portions comprising a segment of a circular cylinder having a periphery less than 180°. The radius of each of the portions is selected equal to the radius of the aperture in the cutting inserts. The portions meet in a plane normal to the face of the tool holder and disposed perpendicularly to the axis of the clamping screw which is threadedly receivable in the body of the holder. By this means the clamping force exerted by the screws, forces the insert to seat itself on the lateral surface of the one axially extending portion of the pin which is inwardly disposed in the cutter body, thereby to achieve positive seating of the insert on the pin in a direction perpendicular to the pin and parallel to the plane between the axially extending portions thereof.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
259 words
A connection between a first body having a pin extending normal to a face thereof and a second body having an aperture for receiving the pin, the connection being adapted to transmit a force between the first and second bodies normal to the axis of the pin, comprising: a first body having a face against which a second body is adapted to rest; a second body having a circular aperture therein, the circular aperture having a radius of a given dimension; and a pin extending normal to the face of the first body, the pin being cylindrical and comprising a pair of discrete axially-extending portions, each of the portions comprising a segment of a circular cylinder having a periphery less than 180°, the radius of each of the portions being equal to the radius of the aperture in the second body, the portions meeting in a plane normal to the face of the first body, the plane being disposed perpendicularly to the direction of a force desired to be transmitted between the first and second bodies, whereby a force exerted on the first body normal to the axis of the pin and perpendicular to the plane between the axially-extending portions thereof, causes the second body to seat itself on the lateral surface of the one axially extending portion of the pin opposed to the direction of the force, thereby to achieve a positive seating of the second body on the pin in a direction perpendicular to the pin and parallel to the plane between the axially extending portions thereof.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
259 words
A connection between a first body having a pin extending normal to a face thereof and a second body having an aperture for receiving the pin, the connection being adapted to transmit a force between the first and second bodies normal to the axis of the pin, comprising: a first body having a face against which a second body is adapted to rest; a second body having a circular aperture therein, the circular aperture having a radius of a given dimension; and a pin extending normal to the face of the first body, the pin being cylindrical and comprising a pair of discrete axially-extending portions, each of the portions comprising a segment of a circular cylinder having a periphery less than 180°, the radius of each of the portions being equal to the radius of the aperture in the second body, the portions meeting in a plane normal to the face of the first body, the plane being disposed perpendicularly to the direction of a force desired to be transmitted between the first and second bodies, whereby a force exerted on the first body normal to the axis of the pin and perpendicular to the plane between the axially-extending portions thereof, causes the second body to seat itself on the lateral surface of the one axially extending portion of the pin opposed to the direction of the force, thereby to achieve a positive seating of the second body on the pin in a direction perpendicular to the pin and parallel to the plane between the axially extending portions thereof.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
249 words
In a cutter body having a recess extending inwardly of the periphery thereof for receiving an insert holder, a pin-type replaceable cutting insert having a circular aperture for receiving a cylindrical pin extending from a face of the insert holder to achieve a supporting relationship adjacent said face, the recess providing a supporting surface for at least one side of the insert, and screw means for clamping the insert holder and the insert into the recess, the improvement comprising: an insert holder having a face for supporting a pin-type replaceable cutting insert having a circular aperture centrally disposed therein; and a pin extending perpendicularly to the face of the insert holder, the pin being cylindrical and comprising a pair of discrete opposed axially-extending portions, each of the portions comprising a segment of a circular cylinder having a periphery less than a 180°, the radius of each of the portions being equal to the radius of the aperture in the cutting insert, the portions meeting in a plane normal to the face of the insert holder, the plane being disposed perpendicularly to the axis of the screw means, whereby the clamping force exerted by the screw means forces the insert to seat itself on the lateral surface of the one axially extending portion of the pin inwardly disposed in the recess, thereby to achieve positive seating of the insert on the pin in a direction perpendicular to the pin and parallel to the plane between the axially extending portions thereof.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
249 words
In a cutter body having a recess extending inwardly of the periphery thereof for receiving an insert holder, a pin-type replaceable cutting insert having a circular aperture for receiving a cylindrical pin extending from a face of the insert holder to achieve a supporting relationship adjacent said face, the recess providing a supporting surface for at least one side of the insert, and screw means for clamping the insert holder and the insert into the recess, the improvement comprising: an insert holder having a face for supporting a pin-type replaceable cutting insert having a circular aperture centrally disposed therein; and a pin extending perpendicularly to the face of the insert holder, the pin being cylindrical and comprising a pair of discrete opposed axially-extending portions, each of the portions comprising a segment of a circular cylinder having a periphery less than a 180°, the radius of each of the portions being equal to the radius of the aperture in the cutting insert, the portions meeting in a plane normal to the face of the insert holder, the plane being disposed perpendicularly to the axis of the screw means, whereby the clamping force exerted by the screw means forces the insert to seat itself on the lateral surface of the one axially extending portion of the pin inwardly disposed in the recess, thereby to achieve positive seating of the insert on the pin in a direction perpendicular to the pin and parallel to the plane between the axially extending portions thereof.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
18 words
A cutter body as in claim 2, in which the axis of said pin lies in said plane.
