Abstract
A design is disclosed for promoting the formation of weld between a first member and a second member whereby a fin is introduced at the outer corner portion of the first member to minimize the creation of defects such as runout or rollover. While such a design is applicable to any industrial welding operation, this design is of particular interest for welding bases or bit blocks holding cutting bits onto rotatable drums, wheels or chains used in construction or mining operations.
Claims22
A cutting tool support block comprising:
- (a) a base having a bottom,
- (b) said base having a multiplicity of sides,
- (c) said multiplicity of sides including a first side, a second side and a third side,
- (d) said first side having a T-shaped opening,
- (e) said second side adjacent said first side,
- (f) said third side is adjacent said second side,
- (g) wherein said second side and said first side intersect at an edge,
- (h) a fin means extends from said edge to promote the formation of a weld near said edge,
- (i) wherein said base has a top and said first side has a planar upper portion extending from said top to near said bottom,
- wherein said first side has a chamfered lower portion that extends from said bottom to said upper planar portion.
A cutting tool support block comprising:
- (a) a base having a bottom,
- (b) said base having plural sides,
- (c) said plural sides including a first side and a second side,
- (d) said first side having a T-shaped opening,
- (e) said second side adjacent said first side,
- (f) wherein said second side and said first side intersect at an edge,
- (g) a fin means extends from said edge to promote the formation of a weld near said edge,
- (h) wherein said base has a top and said first side has a planar upper portion extending from said top to near said bottom,
- (i) wherein said first side has a chamfered lower portion that extends from said bottom to said upper planar portion.
A cutting tool support block comprising:
- (a) a base having a bottom,
- (b) said base having at least a first side,
- (c) said first side has a chamfered lower portion that extends to said bottom,
- (d) a fin means adjacent said chamfer to promote the formation of a weld near an edge.
A cutting tool support block comprising:
- (a) a base having a bottom,
- (b) said base having at least a first side and second side,
- (c) said first side adjacent said second side,
- (d) said first side has a chamfered lower portion that extends to said bottom
- (e) said second side has a chamfered lower portion that extends to said bottom
- (f) wherein said second side and said first side intersect at an edge,
- (g) a fin means adjacent said edge to promote the formation of a weld near said edge.
