Patent number: 10576552Abstract: The rotary tool has two coupling parts, namely a carrier and a cutting head having a front end face. The carrier has a pin seat into which a coupling pin of the cutting head is inserted. Effective stop faces are formed on the pin seat and on the coupling pin in the axial direction for axial pull-out protection. For a design that is as simple as possible, in particular in terms of grinding, a side face adjoins a respective stop face of the coupling pin and, when viewed in the axial direction, freely extends to the end face. In particular, the side face forms a torque face. For reliable clamping attachment, in particular with larger nominal diameters (D), a separating slot is made in the carrier and a clamping screw is inserted into it, both of which serve to fix the cutting head in the pin seat.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2018Date of Patent: March 3, 2020Assignee: KENNAMETAL INC.Inventors: Horst Manfred Jäger, Michael Schuffenhauer, Jüergen Schwäegerl, Berthold Heinrich Zeug

Patent number: 10434582Abstract: A tool coupling used for a clamping connection between two coupling parts, in particular between a cutting head and a carrier of a rotary tool, in particular of a drill. The coupling parts comprise clamping sections, which respectively correspond to one another and which can be clamped against each other by turning counter to a predefined direction of rotation about an axis of rotation so that a press fit is produced. In order to produce a high clamping force and at the same time allow for a simple installation via screwing in, each clamping section comprises several successive clamping surfaces which—with respect to a cross section viewed orthogonally to the axial direction—respectively travel along a circular arc, wherein the diameter increases for clamping surfaces succeeding one another in the direction of rotation.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2016Date of Patent: October 8, 2019Assignee: KENNAMETAL INC.Inventors: Berthold Heinrich Zeug, Jürgen Schwägerl, Horst Manfred Jäger

Patent number: 10213845Abstract: A rotary tool designed as a modular drill, extending in an axial direction along an axis of rotation. It comprises two coupling parts: a carrier; and a cutting head that is attached to the carrier so as to be exchangeable. The carrier includes pin receiving means, into which a coupling pin of the cutting head is introduced in a clamping manner and so as to be reversibly exchangeable. The pin receiving means and the coupling pin have torque sections and clamping sections that correspond to one another and are oriented parallel to the axis of rotation. In addition, to prevent axial pull-out, stop surfaces are provided on the pin receiving means and on the coupling pin, the stop surfaces being effective in an axial direction and corresponding to one another. These stop surfaces preferably extend horizontally and therefore perpendicular to the axis of rotation.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2015Date of Patent: February 26, 2019Assignee: KENNAMETAL INC.Inventors: Jürgen Schwägerl, Berthold Heinrich Zeug, Horst Manfred Jäger, Herbert Rudolf Kauper, Julia Tempelmeier, Tim Guter

Patent number: 10207336Abstract: A rotary tool comprising two coupling parts, namely a carrier and a cutting head in a front end surface. The carrier comprises a pin receptacle into which a coupling pin of the cutting head is inserted. In order to prevent pulling-out in an axial direction, stop surfaces are provided on the pin receptacle and on the coupling pin, said stop surfaces being effective in an axial direction. For a design that is as simple as possible, in particular with regard to grinding, each stop surface of the coupling pin is adjoined by a lateral surface which freely tapers off in the direction toward the end surface as viewed in the axial direction. In particular, the lateral surface constitutes a torque surface.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2016Date of Patent: February 19, 2019Assignee: KENNAMETAL INC.Inventors: Jürgen Schwägerl, Berthold Heinrich Zeug, Horst Manfred Jäger

Patent number: 10144104Abstract: In order, in a drill tip (2) which is provided particularly for a modular drilling tool, to generate a ridge (18) with supporting chamfers (26, 28) in a simple way, a non-round grinding method is provided, in which, proceeding from a starting rotary position (30) which corresponds to a cutting corner position, the radius is first reduced and is subsequently increased again to form the supporting chamfer (28). There is therefore no need for a separate grinding step to form the supporting chamfers (26, 28). The supporting chamfers (26, 28) preferably extend parallel to the longitudinal mid-axis (22) in the axial direction (24) and intersect coiled chucking grooves (26).Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 2014Date of Patent: December 4, 2018Assignee: KENNAMETAL INC.Inventor: Horst Manfred Jaeger
