Abstract:
A die cleaning device includes a device body comprising a chassis; a plate assembly movably mounted to the device body and comprising a cleaning plate, the cleaning plate configured to engage a die slot of a die and dislodge excess material trapped within the die slot; a lift mechanism configured to move the cleaning plate relative to the chassis between at least a lowered position and a raised position, wherein, in the lowered position, the cleaning plate is disengaged from the die slot, and in the raised position, the cleaning plate engages the die slot; and a drive mechanism configured to laterally move the cleaning plate relative to the chassis within the die slot.
Abstract:
Tap and die devices are provided to repair internal and external threads, respectively. The tap and die devices are provided with components that coaxially align the tap and die to the nut or fitting being repaired. The tap and die devices are easily portable, compact tools that can be used in tight places.
Abstract:
A tool for rethreading a damaged threaded object having a solid body with at least one through bore including at least one cutting tooth. A slot intersects the through bore, allowing relief for shavings removed from the object as it is rethreaded. The tool can be adapted to receive a pivot arm to increase the force exerted on the object. Multiple through bores and cutting teeth of varying sizes can be formed in a single tool. The tool may also be adapted to be used in conjunction with taps of varying sizes.
Abstract:
A muzzle brake and tool for effectively installing the brake on the muzzle end of a rifle without the necessity of engaging the services of a gunsmith. The tool for installation includes a handle assembly, a bore pilot and an insertable threading die and cutter and cutter holder by which the owner of the rifle can effectively trim the end of the barrel and then form threads on the external surface of the barrel onto which the muzzle brake can be screw threaded. The muzzle brake is a hollow cylindrical member having an internally threaded end engaged with the externally threaded end of the muzzle of the rifle together with two flat sides and four vents extending horizontally when installed on the rifle barrel with the vents being equally spaced and equally sized and communicating the hollow interior of the muzzle brake with the atmosphere to release gases thereby reducing recoil felt when the gun is fired.
Abstract:
A threading or rethreading die made up of a plurality of complementary separable interfitting parts held together by a tension spring disposed around the exterior surface thereof which in use are separated from one another under the tension of the spring thereby enabling the die to be passed over a member to be threaded or rethreaded whereat the separating force is relaxed permitting the parts to re-engage on the member. The die is then turned to effect the cutting of the threads.
Abstract:
A tool for cutting external threads in the form of a round die having a housing with thread chasers arranged at its end and extending toward the interior of the housing. The housing has the form of an annulus with an inside diameter greater than the diameter of thread chaser blades by the height of the thread chaser.
Abstract:
A tool for cleaning or repairing the screw threads on studs, bolts and the like comprises inner and outer relatively slidable sleeve members and a series of die elements rockably mounted between the sleeve members adjacent one end or mouth of the tool so as to be urged by relative sliding movement between the members in opposite directions between the expanded position and a contracted position in which inwardly facing thread cutting teeth on the die elements are urged into a thread engaging position with a threaded member inserted into the mouth of the tool.
Abstract:
A set of multitooth thread chasers with their teeth shaped and arranged to perform a succession of central roughing cuts of approximately trapezoidal cross section, respectively, and of successively decrescent areas. The chasers are free from any portions which can cause flanking cuts which result in lateral flanges on the resultant chips. The cut produced by each tooth extends close to, but terminates a few thousandths of an inch short of, the flanks of two adjacent threads so that, in the final rough cut thread, a very thin layer of metal remains between the rough cut thread surface and the thread finish lines, and this layer is continuous and uninterrupted along the entire final rough cut thread surface. This layer is removed by a single finishing tooth which makes a single finish cut concurrently cutting a portion of one crest, along the thread trough and flanks and a portion of the adjacent crest, thus cutting over a length of thread cross section equivalent to one complete thread.
