Abstract
Abstract A boring tool with interchangeable tool bit holders is equipped with weight balancing members pivotable about a common fulcrum located on the rotation axis of the fine boring head. The weight balancing members are in the form of circular segments. They are pivoted from their given position about the common fulcrum by means of pull cords fixed thereto. In principle, each pull cord is fixed to each weight balancing member. Thus, a first pull cord fixed to one side of two weight balancing members is guided about a first guide bolt and a second pull cord fixed to the other side of the two weight balancing members is guided about a second guide bolt.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
174 words
A boring tool comprising: a boring head having an axis of rotation and means for attachment of said head to a rotatable member of a machine tool; means on said head for adjustably holding a cutting tool so that the cutting edge thereof can be radially adjusted relative to said axis of rotation to define a selected cutting circle; balancing means on said head for establishing an eccentric mass to balance the unbalancing effect of eccentric positioning of said cutting tool, said balancing means including first and second movable weight segments mounted for circular movement about said axis of rotation, elongated, flexible cord means for interconnecting said weights so that movement of said first weight in one direction causes movement of said second weight in the other direction, an adjusting ring rotatably mounted on said head and coupled to said first weight so that manual rotation of said ring moves both of said weights, and clamping means on said head for clamping said weights in any position selected by rotation of said adjusting ring.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
174 words
A boring tool comprising: a boring head having an axis of rotation and means for attachment of said head to a rotatable member of a machine tool; means on said head for adjustably holding a cutting tool so that the cutting edge thereof can be radially adjusted relative to said axis of rotation to define a selected cutting circle; balancing means on said head for establishing an eccentric mass to balance the unbalancing effect of eccentric positioning of said cutting tool, said balancing means including first and second movable weight segments mounted for circular movement about said axis of rotation, elongated, flexible cord means for interconnecting said weights so that movement of said first weight in one direction causes movement of said second weight in the other direction, an adjusting ring rotatably mounted on said head and coupled to said first weight so that manual rotation of said ring moves both of said weights, and clamping means on said head for clamping said weights in any position selected by rotation of said adjusting ring.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
35 words
A boring tool according to claim 1 and further comprising indicia on said head and said adjusting ring to indicate the degree of eccentric mass provided by said weights at various positions of said ring.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
25 words
A boring tool according to claim 2 wherein each of said first and second weights is in the shape of a segment of a ring.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
26 words
A boring tool according to claim 3 wherein said cord means includes first and second flexible cords each interconnecting both of said first and second weights.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
83 words
A boring tool according to claim 4 and further including first and second guide pins attached to said head, and wherein said first cord is connected to a first end of said first weight, passes around said first guide pin and is connected to a first end of said second weight, and wherein said second cord is connected to the other end of said first weight, passes around said second guide pin and is connected to the other end of said second weight.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
62 words
A boring tool according to claim 5 wherein said head includes an annular recess for receiving said first and second weights, and wherein said clamping means includes a clamping body at one axial side of said recess, and screw means for urging said clamping body toward weights to clamp said weights between said body and the other axial side of said recess.
