Abstract
Abstract In order to reliably shape and remove the cut chip under different cutting conditions a polygonal cutting bit is proposed for cutting tools having raised chip forming elements wherein the chip forming elements are given essentially the shape of a pyramid frustum. Advantageously the pyramid frustum forming the chip forming element has a triangular shape with concavely extending side faces and/or rounded corners. The chip forming elements are possibly disposed in chip forming grooves which again are of a concave or stepped design and are at least in part face ground and no higher than the cover face of the cutting bit.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 15
Claim 1
Independent Claim
126 words
A cutting bit for cutting tools used for chip forming work, said bit comprising a polygonal cover face; cutting edges surrounding said cover face; and a plurality of chip forming elements arranged in rows, wherein each said row is spaced a distance from a respectively adjacent cutting edge, each said element has a base face which is joined to said cover face and a cross-section parallel to said base face which becomes smaller as the plane of the cross-section is moved away from said base face, and each said base face has three corners, one of said corners being oriented toward the internal region of said cover face while a line connecting the other two corners lies between the adjacent cutting edge and said one corner.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
126 words
A cutting bit for cutting tools used for chip forming work, said bit comprising a polygonal cover face; cutting edges surrounding said cover face; and a plurality of chip forming elements arranged in rows, wherein each said row is spaced a distance from a respectively adjacent cutting edge, each said element has a base face which is joined to said cover face and a cross-section parallel to said base face which becomes smaller as the plane of the cross-section is moved away from said base face, and each said base face has three corners, one of said corners being oriented toward the internal region of said cover face while a line connecting the other two corners lies between the adjacent cutting edge and said one corner.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
25 words
Cutting bit as defined in claim 1 wherein said other corners of each said base face have the same distance from the adjacent cutting edge.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
22 words
Cutting bit as defined in claim 1 wherein said other corners of each said base face are disposed on a curved line.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
27 words
Cutting bit as defined in claim 1 wherein the base face of at least one said chip forming element is designed in the form of a triangle.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
33 words
Cutting bit as defined in claim 1 wherein the base face of at least one said chip forming element is defined by rounded concave lines which connect the corners of that base face.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
17 words
Cutting bit as defined in claim 1 wherein the corners of each said base face are rounded.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
25 words
Cutting bit as defined in claim 1 wherein said chip forming elements each have a planar surface at their end remote from said base surface.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
22 words
Cutting bit as defined in claim 7 where the planar surfaces of all said chip forming elements lie in a common plane.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
43 words
Cutting bit as defined in claim 8 wherein said cover face is designed in the form of a trough and the common plane defined by the ends of said chip forming elements is not higher than the plane defined by the cutting edges.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
24 words
Cutting bit as defined in claim 1 wherein said chip forming elements each have an end remote from its base surface which is rounded.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
25 words
Cutting bit as defined in claim 1 wherein said cover face is provided with a plurality of recesses each containing a respective chip forming element.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
15 words
Cutting bit as defined in claim 11 wherein each said recess has a concave form.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
15 words
Cutting bit as defined in claim 11 wherein each said recess has a stepped form.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim
30 words
Cutting bit as defined in claim 11 wherein each said chip forming element is at least partly face ground at its peak and projects no higher than said cover face.
