Abstract
A tire rasp blade and rasp hub assembly is disclosed. The tire rasp blade has an elongated body and an arcuate working edge with a plurality of teeth. The elongated blade includes an angled intermediate portion and generally planar end portions, thereby establishing a body having a broad V-shape. A plurality of V-shaped blades are assembled with adjacent spacers to form a circumferentially inter-locking hub assembly.
Claims5
A rasp hub assembly for use in a tire buffing machine comprising:
- a plurality of rasp blades each including a one-piece elongated body having an outer arcuate working edge, said working edge including a plurality of teeth and an arcuate inner edge, said elongated body having an intermediate angled portion which forms a vertex, and two generally planar end portions extending from said intermediate portion, wherein the two planar end portions intersect to form said vertex;
- a plurality of spacers arranged in longitudinal circumferential rows;
- two end plates;
- and
