Abstract: A tool holder including a tool box with a tool seat in a holding projection for receiving a tool in such a manner that it can be replaced. The tool seat is configured as a bore and has a tool insertion opening. The tool holder has a fastening side with a fastening projection and, facing away from said fastening side, an exterior, and during use of the tool centrifugal forces are effective in the direction from the fastening side to the exterior. This invention ensures the free rotatability of a tool inserted in the tool holder even if overburden material enters the tool seat. For this purpose, the holding projection has an opening penetrating the inner wall of the tool seat and creating a spatial connection to the exterior, and the opening opens the tool seat towards the exterior.

Abstract: A fixing device for a shank chisel including a base part to which a chisel holder is attached in a manner that enables it to be exchanged. The chisel holder has a chisel location for the shank chisel and has a supporting face on which the shank chisel can be supported. The chisel holder is coupled to the base part by a pivot bearing, and the chisel holder rests against a mating face of the base part. This invention provides a stress-optimized design for the above-mentioned arrangement. Thus, according to this invention, when the chisel holder is mounted, a contact area formed between the contact face and the mating face is located between a rotation axis or a rotation path of the pivot bearing and the supporting face.
