Abstract: The invention relates to a cylindrical cutter, the roller body of which comprises grooves provided along the length thereof at a distance from one another and at an angle to the longitudinal axis. Indexable inserts, particularly coated hard metal inserts, are disposed in the grooves. In order to largely prevent axial forces from acting on the milling cutter or on the material to be worked, either the grooves and thus the cutting edges of the indexable inserts are aligned sectionally at different angles, said angles being selected such that the axial forces generated in the one section during the milling process are neutralized or are reduced to a defined degree by the axial forces generated in the neighboring section, or the indexable inserts are disposed or aligned alternately in the grooves such that the axial force generated by one indexable insert during the milling process is neutralized by the axial force generated by the neighboring indexable insert.

IPC: A47C31/00
Filed: 2001-09-28
Abstract: A vertically adjustable mechanical bed consisting of a bed frame for support of a mattress and occupant attached to moveable leg means powered by a motor means.  Operation of the motor means causes a bearing block attached to ft leg means to move longitudinally along a guide rod means, thereby collapsing the leg means beneath the bed and moving the bed frame vertically. Collapsing the bed to its substantially lowermost position causes the bearing block to engage a spring, thereby compressing said spring between the bearing block and a transverse member of the bed frame. The energy stored by the compression of the spring is used to raise the bed from its substantially lowermost position. Pivotally attached to the leg means is a rolling means consisting of a caster and foot arrangement. During normal operation, the foot is firmly engaged with the floor surface. When the bed frame moves to its substantially uppermost position, a pin extending from the leg means and constrained in a slot on a flanged face of the rolling means engages one end of the slot, thereby causing the rolling means to pivot and the caster to engage the floor, rendering the bed horizontally mobile.
