W. L. RUDAITIS INSER'IED BLADE MILLING CUTTER Filed Dec. 22, 1942 I INVENTOR. W/LL/AM LJPUDA/T/S Hi6 ATTORNEY Patented Mar. 7, 1944 UNiTED STATES PATENT FFICE IN SERTED' BLADE MILLING CUTTER William L. Rudaitis, Royal Oak, Mich. Application December 22, 1942, Serial No. 469,849
3 Claims.
My invention pertains to inserted blade rotary cutters, such as milling cutters for example, and to improved anchoring means for securing the inserted blades.
It is an object of my invention to provide an improved inserted blade rotary cutter having conveniently insertable, interchangeable and replaceable cutter blades secured rigidly therein.
It is also an object of my invention to provide improved anchoring means for conveniently and firmly securing the inserted blades in insertable blade rotary cutters.
Further objects and advantages are within the scope of my invention such as relate to the arrangement, operation and function of the related elements, to various details of construction and to combinations of parts, elements per se. and to economies of manufacture and to numerous other features as will be apparent from a consideration of the specification in conjunction with the drawing disclosing a formof my invention, in which:
Fig. lis a side elevational view of an improved inserted blade rotary cutter or milling cutter in accordance with my invention;
Fig. 2 is a fragmentary sectional view on line 2-2 in Fig. 1;
Fig. 3 is an enlarged side elevational view of a single anchoring assembly;
Fig. 4 is a section on line 4-4 in Fig. 3; and
Figs. 5 and 6 are views of one of the blades.
Referring more specifically to the drawing, I have illustratively disclosed my invention embodied in a rotary inserted blade milling cutter comprising a tool head II, which may be of a I substantially disc shaped conformation, having a shaft aperture I 3 for receiving a shaft on which it may be firmly secured, as by a key (not shown), to be supported and driven thereby. A plurality of blade receiving slots l5 are provided at circumferentially spaced points in the peripheral surface of the head and the slots extend a substantial distance into the head toward the central portion thereof. The inner portion of each slot l5 opens into a recess ll of greater width than the slot. Various shaped recesses I 1 may be provided, but for convenience I prefer to provide the recess as a bore extending axially through the head along the inner or bottom edge of the slot.
An anchor receiving aperture, or bore, I9 is provided in the peripheral surface .of the head adjacent each blade slot and extending into the head, one such bore being represented by dotted lines adjacent the uppermost one of the slots in Fig. 1. The anchor block receiving aperture l9 passes into the tool head l l in such a direction that it intersects with the enlarged recess ll of the adjacent slot, as shown.
For firmly securing and anchoring the blade in each slot, I provide an inner anchor block 25 and an outer anchor block 27. The anchor blocks have similar cross-sections suitable to be inserted in pairs in aligned relation in the anchor block receiving aperture l 9 with the inner block 25 disposed inwardly from the point of intersection with the recess I1 and the outer anchor block 21 disposed outwardly therefrom. Apertures or screw holes are provided in aligned relation in each pair of inner and outer blocks and the hole in the inner block is threaded for receiving the threaded end of a socket headed screw 29. The inner anchor blocks are first inserted into the inner ends of the apertures, the cutter blades are then inserted and the outer anchor block is then inserted. Each inner anchor block 25 is provided with a pilot flange 25' projecting from the upper end into a corresponding pilot recess 21' provided in the inner end of the outer anchor block 21. A screw 29 being inserted and turned up clamps the head of the screw firmly upon the outer end of the outer anchor block of each pair and draws each pair of anchor blocks together. The interfitting pilot flange 25' and recess 21 provide a firm and rigid clamping action. This pinches or squeezes the bulbous protuberance 23 on the inner end of each blade thrusting it away to one side and wedging it firmly into the remote side of the anchor recess H. In order to increase the wedging or thrusting action of each pair of anchor blocks, the adjacent or clamping ends of these are preferably provided with smoothly diverging or camming surfaces.
When my improved anchor means is utilized in a tool head which is substantially longer axially and having wider blades, two or more pairs of the anchor blocks may be provided along the side of the blade slot for anchoring the blade at a plurality of points therealong, as will be readily understood. Also it will be apparent my improved blade anchor means may be utilized in an insertable blade cutter of the type wherein the blades are inclined to the axis of rotation instead of being parallel thereto, as in spiral or dove-tailed cutters.
It is apparent that within the scope of the invention, modifications and different arrangements may be made other than herein disclosed, and the present disclosure is illustrative merely, the invention comprehending variations thereof.
