Abstract
A stump cutting assembly mounted to a stump cutting wheel. Stump cutting assembly is a stump cutting tooth interconnected to the wheel by a holder or block that is fixed to wheel by welding or other equivalent process, an optional debris deflector and a fastener that interconnects tooth and deflector to holder. As wheel rotates about its axis of rotation, the tooth cuts away at wood or other debris in which it comes into contact through the side to side and/or longitudinal movement of a stump grinder unit.
Claims7
A stump cutting assembly adapted for mounting to a stump cutting wheel, comprising:
- a. a cutting tooth comprising first and second opposed side edges, a front edge extending between said first and second side edges, an upper surface from which said first and second opposed side edges extend, and a bottom surface that is opposite to said upper surface;
- b. a holder adapted for integral attachment to the cutting wheel and comprising a bottom surface adapted to be positioned in contacting relation to said upper surface of said cutting tooth when said cutting tooth and said holder are assembled on the cutting wheel;
- and
- c. an elongated fastening member adapted for extension through said bottom and upper surfaces of said cutting tooth and through said bottom surface of said holder, whereby said fastening member securely attaches said cutting tooth to said holder.
A reversible stump cutting tooth body, comprising:
- a. upper and lower surfaces with an opening extending through the tooth body from said lower surface to said upper surface;
- b. first and second opposed surfaces extending between said upper and lower surfaces;
- c. a tooth mounting member comprising a shaft adapted to extend through and be pivotally movable within said opening;
- and
- d. a fastening member for securing said tooth mounting member.
A stump cutting assembly adapted for mounting to a stump cutting wheel, comprising:
- a. a cutting tooth comprising first and second opposed side edges, a front edge extending between said first and second side edges, an upper surface from which said first and second opposed side edges extend, and a bottom surface that is opposite to said upper surface;
- b. an elongated fastening member adapted for extension through said bottom and upper surfaces of said cutting wheel;
- and
- c. a deflector having an upper surface adapted to be positioned in contacting relation to said bottom surface of said cutting tooth through which said elongated fastener passes when assembled with said cutting tooth and said holder.
A stump cutting tooth assembly, comprising:
- a. a body having a medial portion and first and second wing portions, said medial portion having opposing front and rear surfaces and opposing upper and lower surfaces, and said first and second wing portions having respective first and second side faces with respective terminal, leading edges
- b. a stump cutting tooth connected to each of said first and second wing portions;
- and
- c. said front surface of said medial portion being recessed from said leading edges of said first and second side faces.
