Abstract
Abstract A carving tool member utilizes a vibratory motor to effect vibratory energy to a shaft projection directed longitudinally of a housing, with the shaft projection mounted to a clamp cylinder. The clamp cylinder selectively mounts a neck member therewithin. The clamp cylinder utilizes various clamp screws directed into the clamp cylinder to secure the clamp cylinder to the wedge projection and the knife member.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
110 words
A vibratory carving tool kit, comprising in combination, an elongate longitudinally aligned housing, the housing including a drive motor mounted therewithin, the drive motor operative through a switch, and the drive motor including an eccentric in operative association with the drive motor, the eccentric mounted about a shaft to effect vibration to the shaft, and the shaft extending through a forward end of the housing and terminating in a wedge-shaped projection, and a clamp cylinder securable to the wedge-shaped projection, and a plurality of cutter blades, each of the cutter blades including a cutter blade shank, and the shank receivable within the clamp member coaxially aligned with the wedge-shaped projection.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
110 words
A vibratory carving tool kit, comprising in combination, an elongate longitudinally aligned housing, the housing including a drive motor mounted therewithin, the drive motor operative through a switch, and the drive motor including an eccentric in operative association with the drive motor, the eccentric mounted about a shaft to effect vibration to the shaft, and the shaft extending through a forward end of the housing and terminating in a wedge-shaped projection, and a clamp cylinder securable to the wedge-shaped projection, and a plurality of cutter blades, each of the cutter blades including a cutter blade shank, and the shank receivable within the clamp member coaxially aligned with the wedge-shaped projection.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
123 words
An apparatus as set forth in claim 1 wherein the clamp cylinder includes a cylindrical side wall and a planar forward cylindrical wall spaced from and parallel a planar rear cylinder wall, the planar forward and rear cylinder walls are orthogonally aligned relative to an axis defined by the clamp cylinder, and the forward cylinder wall including a wedge-shaped slot orthogonally directed into the clamp cylinder through the rear cylinder wall, wherein the wedge-shaped slot is of a complementary configuration to the wedge-shaped projection, and a first and second clamp screw radially directed through the cylindrical wall and the first and second clamp screws intersecting the wedge-shaped slot, and the first and second clamp screws spaced apart ninety degrees relative to one another.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
121 words
An apparatus as set forth in claim 2 wherein the forward cylinder wall includes a rectangular bore coaxially aligned with the clamp cylinder orthogonally directed through the forward cylinder wall, and a shank clamping screw radially directed through the cylindrical wall intersecting the rectangular bore, and each cutter blade shank including a shank slot, and the shank clamping screw including a projecting leg coaxially and forwardly mounted relative to the clamping screw, wherein the projecting leg is defined by a second diameter and the shank clamping screw defined by a first diameter, wherein the second diameter is less than the first diameter, and the projecting leg is receivable within the shank slot to lock the leg shank within the rectangular bore.
