  • Patent number: 5732522
    Abstract: A device for shallow anchoring a member to a surface of a receiving material, particularly a receiving material with reinforcement close to the surface, includes a hollow cylindrically shaped anchoring member with a load engagement member connected to it for holding the member to be anchored. The anchoring member is formed of two axially extending cylindrically shaped hollow sleeves (5, 6) fitted one within the other. At least one of the sleeves has axially extending expandable slots. The sleeves are formed of an inner sleeve (5) and an outer sleeve (6) with the inner sleeve (5) having an outer diameter (a) and the outer sleeve having an inner diameter (i) with these diameters increasing towards the leading ends of the sleeves, that is, the ends inserted first into an annular bore in the receiving material.

  • Patent number: 5704744
    Abstract: An arrangement for transmitting torque from a chuck (5) in a manually operated tool to a tool bit (1) having an axially extending chuck section (2) insertible into the chuck. The chuck section (2) has axially extending entrainment faces (31) arranged to cooperate with correspondingly shaped torque transmitting faces (6) in the chuck (5). The chuck section (2) is arranged to cooperate with a device (7) in the chuck for retaining the tool bit and affording limited axial displaceability of the bit. The chuck section (2) is formed with at least one recess (4). The device (7) in the chuck includes a locking element (8) engageable in the recess. The locking element (8) is axially and radially displaceable both to a limited extent and the axial displaceability of the tool bit is possible at least in part, by the limited axial displaceability of the locking element (8).

  • Patent number: 5542797
    Abstract: A tool for insertion into a tool bit chuck in a manually operated tool used for chiseling and/or percussion drilling includes an axially extending chucking shank (1) with a locking 1groove (2) closed at its ends spaced apart in the axial direction. The chucking shank (1) has two rotary entrainment grooves (3) each with an entrainment side flank arranged so that the entrainment side flanks are located diametrically opposite one another. One of the rotary entrainment grooves (3) extends in the axial direction through a part of another locking groove (4) in such a way that the locking of the tool bit in a chuck is improved. To increase the transmission of torque, the chucking shank (1) has at least one additional axially extending groove (5). With this groove arrangement of the chucking shank (1) the tool bit is useful with a correspondingly shaped tool bit chuck as well as with different commercially available chucks.

  • Patent number: 5529445
    Abstract: A tool bit for insertion into a tool bit chuck on a manually operated tool used for cutting and/or percussion drilling includes an axially extending chucking shank (1). The chucking shank has two axially extending rotary entrainment grooves (2, 3) open at a free end of the shank and located diametrically opposite one another. The transverse cross-sectional areas of the rotary entrainment grooves (2, 3) are different. A locking element displaceable into a locking groove (4) with axially displaced closed ends affords axial securement of the chucking shank in the chuck. To increase the torque to be transmitted, an axially extending groove (5) open at the free end of the shank is provided with its cross-section transverse of the axial direction corresponding at least to the transverse cross-section of the locking groove (4). Due to this arrangement, faulty locking of the chucking shank in the chuck of conventional commercially available manually-operated tools can be easily recognized by the tool operator.

  • Patent number: 5529444
    Abstract: A tool bit for insertion into a tool bit chuck in a manually operated tool used for chiseling and/or percussion drilling has an axially extending chucking shank (1). The chucking shank has two axially extending rotary entrainment grooves (2) open at its end inserted into the chuck and located diametrically opposite one another. In addition, the chucking shank (1) has a locking groove (3) closed at its ends extending transversely of the axial direction and serving to lock the tool bit in the axial direction. Further, the chucking shank (1) has an axially extending groove (4) and an additional axially extending groove (5) for providing greater surface areas in entrainment side flanks for transmitting torque. The axially extending groove (4) extends through a part of the locking groove (3) so that an end face (3a) is formed extending transversely of the axial direction.

  • Patent number: 5520488
    Abstract: A tool bit for insertion into a tool bit chuck in a manually operated tool, used for cutting and/or percussion drilling, has an axially extending chucking shank (2) with a free end. The chucking shank (2) has two locking grooves (6, 7) located diametrically opposite one another and closed at their ends spaced apart in the axial direction. In addition, the chucking shank has two axially extending rotary entrainment grooves (8, 9) disposed diametrically opposite one another and open at the free end. The transverse cross-sectional areas of the rotary entrainment grooves (8, 9) are different. To increase the transmittable torque, an additional axially extending groove (11) open at the free end of the chucking shank extends through and is positioned asymmetrically to one of the locking grooves (7). An end shoulder face (7a) for axially securing the tool bit is formed in the end region of the locking groove located laterally outwardly from the axially extending groove (11).

  • Patent number: 5487434
    Abstract: An axially elongated rock drill has a chucking shank section (1) at one end and a drilling tip (2) at the opposite end, helically arranged first grooves (3, 4) are located in the outside surface of the drill and extend from adjacent the drilling tip towards the chucking shank section. Helically arranged lands (R) are located between the first grooves and form the outside surface of the drill. The lands have helically arranged auxiliary second grooves located between helically arranged guidance regions (7, 8, 9, 10). Accordingly, the second grooves are spaced from the first grooves by the guidance regions. The width (BH) of the first grooves (3, 4) is approximately twice the total width (BG) of the lands, that is, the width of the two guidance regions and one second groove.
