Abstract

A parting blade includes an internal cooling agent supply and has two substantially plane-parallel lateral faces and a continuous transversal bore connected to a cooling agent channel that runs parallel to the lateral faces in the interior of the parting blade. In order to provide a parting blade that has no projection on one side, a stopper is provided having two substantially parallel end faces and a circumferential face that connects the end faces. The stopper can be inserted into the transversal bore of the parting blade, thereby sealing the transversal bore relative to at least one lateral face of the parting blade. The stopper terminates without protruding over the sealed lateral face, flush with the lateral face. The stopper has an opening on both the end face and the circumferential face. The openings are connected to one another in the interior of the stopper to connect the cooling agent channel to a cooling agent source.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A parting blade with an internal coolant supply, the parting blade comprising:
two substantially plane parallel side faces and one continuous transverse bore, which is connected with a coolant channel disposed in an interior of the parting blade parallel to the parallel side faces; and
a stopper having a first and second substantially parallel end and a circumferential face connecting the ends with each other, wherein the stopper is arranged to be inserted into the transverse bore to seal the transverse bore to at least one side face of the parting blade and terminates at this sealed side face without any protrusion extending beyond the sealed side face, wherein the stopper has, in the first end and the circumferential face, an opening, the openings of the first end and the circumferential face being connected with one another in the interior of the stopper, through which the stopper connects the coolant channel, which is open at a circumference of the transverse bore, with a coolant source opposite the opening of the first end of the stopper, wherein the stopper is shaped as a cylinder, the first end of the cylinder having a radially protruding flanged rim, the opening of the first end being a central opening through the flange.

2. The parting blade according to claim 1 , wherein the circumferential face has a circumferential distributor groove, which in any orientation of the stopper with respect to its axis creates a connection between the opening on the circumferential face of the stopper and an opening of the coolant channel in the transverse bore.

3. The parting blade according to claim 1 , wherein in the vicinity of the end side to be sealed the circumferential face has a circumferential seal groove for receiving a sealing ring.

4. The parting blade according to claim 1 , wherein the openings of the stopper on the first end and the circumferential face are connected by a bore running obliquely in relation to an axis of the stopper.

5. The parting blade according to claim 1 , wherein the openings on the first end and the circumferential face of the stopper are connected by a groove which extends obliquely in relation to an axis of the stopper from an edge formed by an intersection of the circumferential face and the first end into the first end and the circumferential face.

6. The parting blade according to claim 1 , wherein the transverse bore of the parting blade is a stepped bore having a widened bore portion arranged to receive the flanged rim of the stopper.

7. The parting blade according to claim 1 , wherein the transverse bore of the parting blade is symmetrically located with respect to a central plane parallel to and between the side faces of the parting blade.

8. A tool for parting off or grooving, the tool comprising:
a parting blade having an internal coolant supply, two substantially plane parallel side faces and one continuous transverse bore, which is connected with a coolant channel disposed in an interior of the parting blade parallel to the side faces, and a stopper having a first and second substantially parallel end and a circumferential face connecting the ends with each other, wherein the stopper is arranged to be inserted into the transverse bore to seal the transverse bore to at least one side face of the parting blade and terminates at this sealed side face without any protrusion extending beyond the sealed side face, wherein the stopper has, in the first end and the circumferential face, an opening, the openings of the first end and the circumferential face being connected with one another in the interior of the stopper, through which the stopper connects the coolant channel, which is open at a circumference of the transverse bore, with a coolant source opposite the opening of the first end of the stopper, wherein the stopper is shaped as a cylinder, the first end of the cylinder having a radially protruding flanged rim, the opening of the first end being a central opening through the flange; and
a parting blade holder which has a flat side bearing face for the bearing of a side face of the parting blade and at least one clamping face, which is angled in relation to the bearing face for engagement with an edge face of the parting blade, wherein the bearing face has a delivery opening, which when the parting blade is fitted lies opposite the first end opening of the stopper.

9. The tool according to claim 8 , wherein a groove is provided in the bearing face, which surrounds the delivery opening and is arranged to receive a sealing ring.
