Abstract: A rock drill for rotary and percussive stressing exhibits equally good or improved transport characteristics of driling dust for a smaller transport groove as compared with prior rock drills. In order to achieve this, a main transport groove having longitudinal profiles is formed, with an interrupted secondary transport groove integrated in the main transport groove, the transport ribs of which exhibit a greater angle of twist than the angle of twist of the main transport groove.

Abstract: A drilling device with an arrangement for the detachable connection of a drill, especially a rock drill, percussion drill, hammer drill, and the like, to a receiving device, e.g. a drive head, which has a longitudinal bore for receiving the shank of the drill, and also has a driving part which is drivingly connectable to a drilling machine and is coaxial with the longitudinal bore. The drilling device furthermore comprises a drive transmitting member movable in the driving part transverse in the longitudinal bore of the receiving device. The drive transmitting or follower member is arranged to engage a bottom face of a recess in the shank of the drill. This recess has a segment-shaped cross section and has a bottom extending continuously over the entire corresponding width of the drill shank.
