ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a scarifying and deburring tool for preparing an end portion of a cylindrically shaped member such as a section of tubing, pipe, or a fitting for soldering, brazing, welding or the like and, more particularly, to a scarifying and deburring tool suitable for scarifying inner and outer surfaces of end portions of cylindrically shaped members and deburring inner surfaces of end portions of cylindrically shaped members. In addition to scarifying the ends of pipe or tubing as hereinabove described, the subject hand tool may also be advantageously employed for many other purposes. For example, it may also be used to scarify battery terminals, battery cable ends and the like. Moreover, it may also be used in any environment where a generally cylindrical internal and/or external surface area is to be scarified.
2. Description of the Related Art
Scarifying and deburring tools for scarifying inner and outer surfaces of end portions of cylindrically shaped members and deburring inner surfaces of ends of pipe or tubing have been disclosed in, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 4,038,715 to Litt, U.S. Pat. No. 4,133,070 to Litt, and U.S. Pat. No. 5,791,005 to Grabowski et al. These tools can only be used manually; namely, they cannot be used with electric tools, which is a limitation to the tools.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
An object of the present invention is to provide a scarifying and deburring tool that can be either operated manually or activated by electricity.
In accordance with a first aspect of the invention, a scarifying and deburring tool includes a body, a handle mounted to the body, and a scarifying brush. The body has a fixing hole in an outer periphery thereof. A deburring scraper and a fixing block are mounted inside the body. The fixing block has a fixing hole in an outer periphery thereof. A fastener extends through the fixing hole of the body and the fixing hole of the fixing block. The fixing block further has a screw hole, and the scarifying brush has a threaded section for engaging with the screw hole of the fixing block.
In accordance with a second aspect of the invention, a scarifying and deburring tool includes a body, a handle mounted to the body, and a connecting rod. The body has a fixing hole in an outer periphery thereof. A deburring scraper and a fixing block are mounted inside the body. The fixing block has a fixing hole in an outer periphery thereof. A fastener extends through the fixing hole of the body and the fixing hole of the fixing block. The fixing block further has a screw hole, and the connecting rod has a threaded section for engaging with the screw hole of the fixing block.
Other objects, advantages, and novel features of the invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
