Abstract
Description
- For removal of old paint or rust from surfaces by scraping, it is since long known to use scrapers with replaceable cutting inserts, which are provided with holes for fastening with a screw, as in, for instance,
US Patent 1,940,107 and4,768,254 or with a threaded pin and a nut. - The cutting inserts are most often rectangular or triangular, as in, for instance,
US Patent 4,768,254 , but it is also known to make scrapers with a circular cutting insert for scraping of concave mouldings, or with two adjacent cutting inserts for scraping and deburring of edges. Cutting inserts with different profiles or radii of curvature are disclosed inUS Patent 1,940,107 , andSE Patent 94 04 143-1 - The majority of scrapers have a cutting insert mounting which gives too high bending loads on the cutting inserts, which entails that brittle cutting insert materials, e.g. cemented carbide, may break easily, unless they are made with an extra large thickness, which makes the product considerably more expensive, or that cutting inserts of the type standard indexable cutting inserts are used as in the patent
US 5,027,512 , the geometry of the cutting insert rarely being adapted for the work operation of scraping. - The present invention relates to a type of cutting insert mounting which may be used for paint scrapers with replaceable, relatively thin especially formed cemented carbide cutting inserts and a paint scraper adapted thereto.
- A primary object of the present invention is to define a scraper, the cutting insert mounting of which permits usage of thin cemented carbide cutting inserts with minimised risk of cracks and damage on the cemented carbide cutting insert.
- Another object is to define a scraper with the possibility of locking the cutting insert in different positions. An additional object is to define a scraper that permits mounting of cemented carbide cutting inserts having different shape and profile. Still another object is to define a scraper, the cutting edge of which is turnable for operation in different working directions. According to the invention, the above-mentioned objects are attained by the features that are defined in the characterizing clause of claim 1. Preferred embodiments of the invention are furthermore defined in the dependent claims.
-
-
Figure 1 shows a paint scraper in side view, whilefigure 2 shows the paint scraper in perspective provided with an attached triangular cemented carbide cutting insert, whilefigure 3 shows said cutting insert fastened in an alternative position. -
Figure 2a represents the front of the scraper without a mounted cutting insert, and shows the position of the screw hole and the insert position. -
Figure 4 is a longitudinal cross-section according to the cutting insert line IV - IV infigure 3 . - A paint scraper according to the invention as it is shown in
figures 1 and 2 has four different main parts, a front portion or a supportingpart 11 with aninsert position 22, an edge-provided plane cementedcarbide cutting insert 13, ahand grip 12 and ascrew 14. The front surface of the supporting part is at an-angle α exceeding 90 degrees in relation to the centre line, CL, of the scraper and the handle. - The front surface is formed by two
parallel plane surfaces step 20. The lowersituated surface 22 is provided with a threaded hole in order to fasten, with ascrew 14, a cementedcarbide cutting insert 13 provided with ahole 15. The cemented carbide cutting insert may either be in the shape of a polygon e.g. a triangle or a rectangle or have different profiles with radii in both convex and concave shapes. It may also have shapes that are combinations of straight lines, angles and radii. Drop-shape, elliptical or cylindrical shapes are also feasible embodiments of the cutting insert. - The
step 20 consists of two plane surfaces spaced apart by a V-shaped recess 23. The step gives the cutting insert support and absorbs pressure forces so that the screw joint is not unnecessarily overloaded and gives at the same time a good stability to the cutting insert. The shape of the step enables a triangular equilateral cutting insert to be locked in six different positions. Furthermore, the step blocks rotation of cutting insert shapes having projecting corners. - The cutting insert is fastened to the insert position of the supporting part with a screw, the
head 16 of which in cross-section has a concavely shaped underside. The result of this is that thecontact surface 17 between screw head and cutting insert becomes ring-shaped and located at a distance from the centre line of the screw which exceeds the radius of thehole 15 and which preferably should be at least 50 % larger than said radius. With concave shape of the underside of the screw head, all types of geometries are included which give the above, described ring-shaped contact surface or give contact at at least three points at a distance from the centre of the screw exceeding the radius of the hole with at least 50 %. The screw head may, for instance, be made with an annular recess. It may also be provided with a loose, ring-shaped spacing washer, centered by the screw in a suitable way, which washer gives the corresponding effect. - In this way, the cutting insert gets a much better support than if it would be mounted with a usual screw joint, which may imply a risk that the cemented carbide cutting insert would break close to the hole. By this method, the thickness of the cutting insert may be reduced, which gives economical advantages at the same time as the cutting insert requires less force to penetrate into the work surface and thereby cuts more efficiently without unnecessarily exhausting hands and arms.
- The elongate and thin shape of the scraper in combination with an insert position that permits fastening of relatively small cutting inserts in different positions make it especially adapted for precision work, also in narrow spaces.
- The
shank 18 of the screw may suitably be made with a thread, which has been provided with a friction-increasing thread profile, for instance non-cylindrical or asymmetrical. This is done to make sure that the cutting insert should not run the risk of coming loose and be exposed to vibrations, which may cause damage on the cutting insert. The ratio between the size of the hole and the thickness of the cutting insert should be such that the cutting insert has a thickness which is not larger than the radius R1 of the hole or at least is less than 60 % of the diameter of said hole. Furthermore, if the thickness of the cutting insert is such that it is less than the size of thestep 20, the cutting insert may advantageously be turned and mounted reversedly in the insert position. Normally, the scraper is pulled towards the user at scraping, but thanks to this reverse mounting of the cutting insert, the scraper may also be pushed away from the user, which may be an advantage in narrow passages such as at interior corners on mouldings. - The supporting part is formed with a shoulder or a finger grip where it is possible to rest the thumb or another suitable finger in order to increase the stability of the scraper and at the same time give additional pressure against the cutting insert so that the cutting edge more easily penetrates into the work surface.
- The cone-shaped and ergonomic shape of the handle enables a very good grip to pull the scraper towards you. In the thicker end of the grip, there is a projecting shoulder-
shaped part 23, which gives a good support against the hand. This, together with the soft elastic material, which the hand grip is covered with, in combination with the ribbed design on the underside, gives an improved grip. - By the fact that the cutting edge is very close to the centre line CL of the tool, the torque that normally has to be carried by the wrist at scraping work, especially at work near an edge or a wall, is reduced.
- The cone-
shaped contact surface 19 of the hand grip in combination with the projecting shoulder of the supporting part as well as the fact that the location of the cutting insert is close to the centre line CL of the tool gives a possibility to store the tool in a holder with a cone-shaped inner surface, which constitutes an extension of thetangent surface 19, and which then grips the cone-shaped handle of the tool at the same time as the shoulder of the supporting part gives support and ensures that the cutting insert lies clear inside the holder. The position of the scraper at storage in the holder is outlined infigure 1 where the inner contour of the holder is shown in the form of two dashed lines symmetrically converging around the centre line CL of the scraper. Such a holster may easily be worn, for instance, in the belt and allows that the scraper is easy to reach without injuring the user on the cutting insert, at the same time as the tool is protected. The holster is suitably made with a hole at the bottom so that it easily may be cleaned from paint residues etc. - The handgrip part of the scraper is, in the thicker free end, provided with a hole for hanging up the tool.
