Publication number: 20240051039Abstract: A drill bit includes a shank, an intermediate portion with a helical flute, and a multi-stepped tip portion extending along the axis. The tip portion includes a cutting tip with a pair of primary cutting edges extending radially outward from the axis, a plurality of steps each having an elongated portion and a tapered portion tapered outward from the elongated portion relative to the axis. The elongated portions progressively increase in diameter from the cutting tip to the intermediate portion. The elongated portion of each step has an axial relief tapered inward toward the axis. A frontmost elongated portion has a first axial relief at a first angle relative to the central axis and a rearmost elongated portion has a second axial relief at a second angle greater than the first angle. The drill bit may be used as a pilot bit together with a holesaw in a system.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 4, 2023Publication date: February 15, 2024Inventors: ANDRE DOS SANTOS GARCIA, CLEDERSON BARRO, FLORIAN PROBST, POINON Z.

Publication number: 20220297204Abstract: A one-piece cutting head for a drill bit includes a main cutting edge that extends between radial extremities of the cutting head. The main cutting edge is disposed between main rake surfaces and main relief surfaces. Each main rake surface includes one or more rake facets, and each main relief surface includes one or more relief facets. Adjacent rake facets and relief facets define a primary transverse edge therebetween that extends away from the main cutting edge.

Publication number: 20160132954Abstract: Example systems and methods of recommending an item are presented. In one example, preference values for items by multiple users, as well as property values for multiple properties of the items by the users, are accessed. Reference property values for the properties of the items are generated based on the property values. Average deviations from the reference property values for the properties across a first group of the items by a target user are generated. Expected property values for the properties of a second group of the items for the target user are generated based on the reference property values and the average deviations. Preference values of the target user for the second group of the items are estimated based on the expected property values. At least one of the second group of the items is recommended to the target user based on the estimated preference values.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 11, 2014Publication date: May 12, 2016Inventors: Christian Guckelsberger, Florian Probst, Axel Schulz

Patent number: 9333635Abstract: A chisel includes an elongate shank portion composed of a first steel, and a working end portion composed of a second steel that is different than the first steel. The working end portion is joined to the shank and configured to chisel a workpiece. The joined shank portion and working end portion has been heat treated to cause the first steel of the shank portion to adopt a first microstructure comprising bainite, the second steel of the working end portion to adopt a second microstructure comprising martensite, and the working end portion to have a greater hardness than the shank portion.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2014Date of Patent: May 10, 2016Assignee: BLACK & DECKER INC.Inventors: Thomas J.

Patent number: 9085074Abstract: A point chisel includes a substantially cylindrical shank and a working end region that tapers to a point. The working end region has at least three converging substantially planar surfaces, each with a protruding elongate rib extending along at least part of its length. Adjacent surfaces meet along at least part of their length at substantially straight edges between adjacent ribs. A flat chisel includes a substantially cylindrical shank and a working end region with a pair of converging substantially planar surfaces that include a plurality of protruding elongate ribs extending along at least part of its length. Each rib has, along the majority of its length, a substantially constant height above the surface from which it protrudes.

Patent number: 8786433Abstract: Various embodiments of systems and methods for reporting and managing incidents are described herein. In one aspect, the method includes identifying a user logged into an incident reporting and alerting portal. A category for the logged-in user is identified. The category includes one of a reporter, a volunteer, and a responder. An incident report is received from the reporter. It is determined whether a comment is received on the incident report from the responder. When the comment is received, the comment is notified to the reporter. It is determined whether a reply to the comment is received from the reporter. When the reply to the comment is received, the reply is notified to the responder who commented on the incident report.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2012Date of Patent: July 22, 2014Assignee: SAP AGInventors: Olaf Grebner, Max Bruchmann, Christian Guckelsberger, Florian Probst, Axel Schulz

Patent number: 8740515Abstract: A combination drill bit for use in both hand held drills and stationary drill presses has a shanking end, a working end and a helical flute portion between the shanking and working ends. The helical portion has a helix length (L) of L = ( D × ? tan ? ? ? ) . The drill bit has a core that is tapered from the working end to the shanking end. A web thickness length at the working end is 10% to 35% of the diameter and the thickness length at the junction of the shanking end is 70% to 90% of the diameter. The drill bit is manufactured from a high speed steel including at least 5% by weight of cobalt.Type: GrantFiled: August 12, 2009Date of Patent: June 3, 2014Assignee: Black & Decker Inc.Inventors: Rickey J.
