  • Patent number: 9296049
    Abstract: A coupling point for a modular rotary which extends in an axial direction. The coupling point includes a first coupling part disposed on a tool head and a second coupling part disposed on a carrier. The coupling parts can be coupled to one another by bidirectional rotation with the formation of an interference fit which acts in the radial direction. Each coupling part includes two coupling faces which lie opposite one another and have contact regions in which the interference fit is formed. In the first coupling part, at least one of the coupling faces has at least two contact regions which are spaced apart from one another in the circumferential direction, and, to this end, at least one first clearance portion is formed between the contact regions, in which clearance portion the two coupling parts do not bear against one another in the coupled state.

  • Publication number: 20160075001
    Abstract: The mounting wrench (2) is used to engage or disengage a tool head (24) of a modular tool. The mounting wrench (2) incorporates a base body (4), which extends from an upper surface (20) along a centered longitudinal axis (18) to an underside (22). In addition, it has a slotted part (6), extending in the direction of the centered longitudinal axis (18), with a slot (10), into which the tool head (24) can be inserted. The slotted part (6) has two opposing keys (14), extending radially inward, which are each designed to mesh into a keyway (30) of the tool head (24). The keys (14) have a rounded end face (32), oriented radially inward, and are sloped relative to the centered longitudinal axis (18) so that the distance (a) between the keys (14) increases in the direction of the centered longitudinal axis (18).

  • Publication number: 20160001379
    Abstract: The drill head (2) extends along a rotational axis (24) in the axial direction (22) and has a central area (6) on the front with first main cutting edges (26), an intermediate area (8) connecting thereto, and an outer area (10) in turn connecting thereto with second main cutting edges (30). The intermediate area (8) in this case expands in the axial direction (22) toward the outer area (10) and in particular forms an expanding conical shell. A centering effect is hereby achieved via the intermediate area (8).

  • Publication number: 20150360301
    Abstract: In order to ensure good guidance of a drilling tool at the start of a drilling operation and at the same time ensure a reliable evacuation of a center chip, in the drill bit, in a tool flank adjoining a respective main cutting edge, an additional point thinning is recessed in the region of a transverse cutting edge, which additional point thinning, extending in a principal direction from the tool flank, merges, with a convex course, into a chip flute. As a result of the convex design, an as far as possible homogeneous, edge-free transition into the chip flute is obtained. Since the point thinning is additionally made, the tool flank, even in the rear end facing away from the cutting edge, remains at a front axial position, so that a second land is effective for a reliable guidance of the bore already at an axially front position.

  • Publication number: 20150071718
    Abstract: The radial run-out tool (2), particularly a drill or a cutter, has a basic body (12) extending in an axial direction (4) and comprises at least two chip grooves (14), to which a guide chamfer (22) is connected in the rotational direction (24), with a ridge (15) being formed between them. A radial clearance is connected to the guide chamfer (22). In order to enable simple and economical production of such type of radial run-out tool (2), an unprocessed rod (30) is ground non-concentrically, in a first process step, such that a radius (R) of the unprocessed rod (30) varies, depending on the angle, between a maximum radius (R2) and a minimum radius (R1). In a second process step, the chip grooves (14) are grounded down such that the guide chamfers (22) are formed at the positions with the maximum radius (R2) and the radius (R) is subsequently reduced downstream of the respective guide chamfer (22) in order to form the radial clearance (28).

  • Patent number: 8594959
    Abstract: There is presented a detailed electronic method for simulation of a firefly, other insects, or organisms producing bioluminescence and with light radiation functions similar to a real firefly, other insects, or organisms producing bioluminescence. An illuminated artificial firefly, other insects, or organisms producing bioluminescence can be placed on trees and shrubs in landscape, or at home to produce radiation, at night time, and blinking a gradually decaying light. More particularly it relates to a decorative type of device in the form of a firefly, other insects, or organisms producing bioluminescence and with light radiation functions similar to a real firefly, other insects, or organisms producing bioluminescence. The light is simulated by an electronics program that is a part of compact device with the form of a real firefly, other insects, or organisms producing bioluminescence.

  • Publication number: 20110318128
    Abstract: The invention relates to a drill tip (2) comprising a base body (6) having chip flutes (22A,B) and extending in the axial direction along an axis of rotation (8) and having at least two main cutting edges (14A,B) on the front face thereof extending outward in the radial direction to a cutting corner (16A,B). Seen in cross section, the base body is asymmetric relative to rotation about the axis of rotation (8) at the height of the cutting corner (16A,B). The cross section of the base body is simultaneously designed having symmetrical spacing from the main cutting edges (14A,B). The drill tip (2) is in particular designed as an interchangeable modular part of a modularly designed drill tip (5). A drill base body (4) in which the drill tip (2) can be inserted can therefore in turn be designed symmetrically.
