CUTTING ELEMENTS HAVING NON-PLANAR SURFACES AND TOOLS INCORPORATING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240044213 titled 'CUTTING ELEMENTS HAVING NON-PLANAR SURFACES AND TOOLS INCORPORATING THE SAME

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a cutting element that has a non-planar cutting face with a central raised portion and an edge formed around its perimeter. The edge angle between the cutting face and the side surface of the body varies around the perimeter and includes an acute edge angle defined by a portion of the cutting face extending downwardly from the edge. This acute edge angle can be adjacent to the side surface, a bevel, or a flat region of the cutting element.

  • The cutting element has a non-planar cutting face with a central raised portion.
  • The edge of the cutting face has varying edge angles around its perimeter.
  • An acute edge angle is defined by a portion of the cutting face extending downwardly from the edge.
  • The acute edge angle can be adjacent to the side surface, a bevel, or a flat region of the cutting element.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Cutting tools for various industries such as manufacturing, construction, and woodworking.
  • Surgical instruments for precise cutting in medical procedures.
  • Food processing equipment for efficient and precise cutting of ingredients.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Improved cutting efficiency due to the non-planar cutting face and varying edge angles.
  • Enhanced precision and control during cutting operations.
  • Reduced wear and tear on the cutting element due to the acute edge angle.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Increased productivity and cost-effectiveness in cutting operations.
  • Improved quality and accuracy of cuts.
  • Extended lifespan of cutting elements due to reduced wear.


Original Abstract Submitted

a cutting element includes a body, a non-planar cutting face formed on a first end of the body, and an edge formed around a perimeter of the cutting face. the cutting face includes a central raised portion, and the edge has an edge angle defined between the cutting face and a side surface of the body. the edge angle varies around the perimeter of the cutting face and includes an acute edge angle defined by a portion of the cutting face extending downwardly from the edge to a depth from the cutting angle. the portion of the edge defining the acute edge angle may be directly adjacent: a side surface of the cutting element; a bevel of the cutting element; or a flat region at the perimeter of the cutting element or bevel.
