Abstract

A system and method for an engaging tool. Removing debris, trees and clearing land and paths requires the use of specific tool and machinery. To grind, break and shred wood, the machines must be fitted with proper attachments and engaging tools. One tool includes a front a front face and a back face connected by two opposing side faces and an opposing top face and base face. The front face has a concave shape and an outer channel which extends inwardly into the front face. The front face also has a tube a tube extending outwardly from said front face. The tube is located within the outer channel.

Claims (28)

1 . An engaging tool, said tool comprising:

a front face and a back face connected by two opposing side faces and an opposing top face and base face;

wherein said front face comprises a concave V-shape, wherein said V-shape extends from said top face to said base face;

wherein said front face comprises an outer channel which extends inwardly into said front face, and wherein said outer channel is a concentric channel which surrounds a tube;

said tube extending outwardly from said front face, wherein said tube is located within said outer channel, and wherein said tube comprises internal threading that extends an entire length thereof;

wherein said outer channel comprises a diameter, and wherein said tube comprises an outer diameter, and wherein the outer diameter of said tube is less than the diameter of said outer channel; and

wherein said tube is permanently attached to said front face.

2 . The engaging tool of claim 1 wherein said two opposing sides are approximately parallel to one another, and wherein said two opposing sides are approximately perpendicular to said top face, and wherein said outer channel is circular.

3 . The engaging tool of claim 1 wherein said tube and said engaging tool comprise a single integrally made piece.

4 . The engaging tool of claim 1 wherein said tube comprises a hollow internal cavity.

5 . The engaging tool of claim 4 wherein said internal cavity extends from said tube and through the entirety of said engaging tool.

6 . The engaging tool of claim 4 wherein said internal cavity comprises an unrestricted cavity.

7 . The engaging tool of claim 4 wherein said internal cavity comprises a restricted cavity.

8 . The engaging tool of claim 1 wherein said front face comprises two opposing downwardly sloping sides, wherein said downward and inwardly sloping sides intersect at an inflection point.

9 . The engaging tool of claim 8 , wherein said inflection point is located approximately at a midpoint along said width of said front face.

10 . The engaging tool of claim 8 wherein a midpoint of said tube is located approximately at said inflection point.

11 . The engaging tool of claim 1 wherein said tube has a top, and wherein said top is lower in elevation than the elevation of said side face.

12 . The engaging tool of claim 1 further comprising fins which extend from the top and base face.

13 . The engaging tool of claim 1 wherein said back face comprises a V-shaped convex shape.

14 . The engaging tool of claim 1 further comprising at least one fin which extends from the top face.

15 . The engaging tool of claim 1 wherein the outer diameter of said tube and the diameter of said outer channel define an outer channel width therebetween.

16 . The engaging tool of claim 13 , wherein said fins define said back face comprising two opposing downwardly sloping sides, wherein said opposing sides intersect at and downwardly slope from an inflection point, wherein said inflection point is located approximately at a midpoint along a length of said back face.

17 . An engaging tool, said tool comprising:

a front face and a back face connected by two opposing side faces and an opposing top face and base face;

wherein said front face defines a concave V-shape, wherein said V-shape extends from said top face to said base face;

a tube extending outwardly from said front face, said front face and said tube defining an outer channel, wherein said outer channel extends inwardly into said front face and is a concentric channel which surrounds the tube, such that an outer diameter of said tube is less than an outer diameter of said outer channel;

wherein said tube defines a cavity extending through the entirety of said engaging tool; and

wherein said tube comprises internal threading that extends an entire length of the cavity.
