Latest Patents

Cherry’s listed patent, “Variable Cutting Element Exposure in a Cutting Tool,” describes a drill bit with a bit body and a roller cone. The cone carries cutting inserts that form a rolling cutting profile, while a blade carries fixed cutting elements that define a fixed cutting profile. The design positions the rolling profile above the fixed profile, with that exposure increasing farther from the bit axis in the radial direction. This arrangement addresses how cutting elements are positioned relative to one another in a cutting tool. Cherry is listed with 1 patent.
