Abstract

A shaving die for cutting the surface layer of a wire is provided with a circular cutting blade and a plurality of protrusions. The wire is inserted into the circular cutting blade so that the surface layer of the wire is cut. The protrusions are provided at positions around the cutting blade so as to come into contact with the surface layer of the wire that has been cut by the cutting blade.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A shaving tool for cutting a surface layer of a wire, comprising:
an annular cutting blade having a blade edge at a leading end thereof for cutting the surface layer of the wire as the wire is inserted thereinto;
a rake surface being an annular surface formed around the annular cutting blade, said rake surface inclining with respect to a plane orthogonal to a surface of the wire cut by the cutting blade towards the insertion direction of the wire; and
a plurality of projections provided on the rake surface such that the plurality of projections are arranged around the cutting blade and at corresponding positions at which the plurality of projections come into contact with the surface layer of the wire that has been cut by the cutting blade,
the plurality of projections are arranged at corresponding positions at each of which a projection distance is from 50 μm or more to 110 μm or less where the projection distance is defined as a distance from a blade edge of the cutting blade to each of the projections,
wherein the plurality of projections are arranged at corresponding positions that an angle about a center of the annular cutting blade in which one of the projections adjacent to each other and the other are viewed from the center is from 10° or more to 40° or less, and in such a manner as to be spaced from one another and
wherein the plurality of projections each project further from the blade edge at the leading end of the annular cutting blade.

2. The shaving tool according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of projections are arranged at corresponding positions that the projection distance is identical and in such a manner as to be spaced from one another at equal interval therebetween along a circumferential direction of the annular cutting blade.

3. The shaving tool according to claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of projections has a cylindrical shape.

4. The shaving tool according to claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of projections has a prismatic shape.

5. The shaving tool according to claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of projections has a spherical shape.
