Abstract
A tool mounting assembly including a tool support means which includes tool holders adapted for receiving an associated tool and enabling rotation of the associated tool about a rotation axis. The tool mounting assembly further including means for causing relative movement between the tool holders in the direction of the rotation axis so to enable the tool holders to adopt an operative position in which the associated tool is held thereby and the release position in which the associated tool is enabled to be removed from the mounting assembly.
Claims24
A tool mounting assembly, the assembly including a tool support means which includes tool holders adapted for receiving an associated tool and enabling rotation of the associated tool about a rotation axis, the tool mounting assembly further including means for causing relative movement between the tool holders in the direction of the rotation axis so to enable the tool holders to adopt an operative position in which the associated tool is held thereby and the release position in which the associated tool is enabled to be removed from the mounting assembly.
A tool mounting assembly, the assembly including a tool support means for supporting the tool for rotation about a rotation axis, a carriage and coupling means for coupling the tool support means to the carriage for rotation relative thereto so to enable that the tool to be rotated about an axis generally at 90° to the axis of rotation, wherein the coupling means includes a turntable which is operatively connected between the tool support means and the carriage for enabling relative rotation therebetween.
A tool mounting assembly, the assembly including a tool support means for supporting a tool for rotation about a rotation axis, a tool sharpening device operatively connected to the tool support means and including a tool sharpening element which is movable relative to the tool support means and guide means for guiding the tool sharpening element relative to the tool, the relative movement between tool sharpening element and tool being substantially a traverse in the direction of the axis of rotation.
