  • Publication number: 20140265529
    Abstract: The invention relates to a bit holder having an insertion projection and having a holding projection having a bit receptacle, the insertion projection comprising a bearing segment and the holding projection comprising a supporting segment. In order to allow the bit holder to be braced in permanent and stable fashion with respect to a base part, provision is made according to the present invention that the supporting segment and/or the bearing segment comprise two supporting surfaces and bearing surfaces, respectively, arranged at an angle to one another; and that the longitudinal center axis of the bit receptacle and the longitudinal axis of the insertion projection enclose an obtuse angle.

  • Patent number: 8746806
    Abstract: The invention relates to a bit holder having an insertion projection and having a holding projection, the holding projection comprising a bit receptacle, and the holding projection protruding at least locally from or beyond the insertion projection in the tool feed direction. A bit holder of this kind is designed in service-life-optimized fashion by the fact that the holding projection comprises a supporting segment having a rigid, shaped-on supporting surface that is arranged at least locally in front of the insertion projection in the feed direction. The invention further relates to a base part for receiving an aforementioned bit holder.

  • Publication number: 20140117741
    Abstract: The invention relates to a bit holder for an earth working machine, in particular a road milling machine, that comprises a bit receptacle in the region of a working side of a support member and that indirectly or directly carries an insertion projection on an insertion projection side of the support member, the support member comprising two stripping surfaces [first or second stripping surfaces] that form a stripping surface pair and are at an angle to one another. In order to achieve a stable and long-lived configuration with such a bit holder, provision is made according to the present invention that the support member comprises at least one further stripping surface that is at an angle to the two stripping surfaces of the stripping surface pair.

  • Publication number: 20130292991
    Abstract: The invention relates to an ejector unit, in particular for a road milling machine, having an ejector that is replaceably mounted on a carrier. In one aspect the ejector is curved in a scoop-like fashion. In another aspect the ejector is reversible upon the carrier to allow the ejector to be reversed after one wear surface is worn, thus presenting a new second wear surface.

  • Publication number: 20130270891
    Abstract: The subject matter of the invention is a bit holder for an earth working machine, in particular a road milling machine, having a support member onto which an insertion projection is indirectly or directly attached on an insertion projection side, the insertion projection comprising at least one convex abutment surface and one pressure surface. In a bit holder of this kind, working forces can be dissipated in stress-optimized fashion into an attached base part when provision is made that the insertion projection comprises two convex abutment surfaces that are arranged at a distance from one another.

  • Publication number: 20130241265
    Abstract: A chisel holder comprises a body zone (12) having a chisel receiving opening (18) that is open at least in the direction of a chisel insertion end (14) of the body zone (12), and also comprises a fastening shaft (26) which extends from a supporting end (20) of the body zone (12) and has a longitudinal shaft axis. A fastening member-affecting zone is provided on a first side of the fastening shaft (26), and a supporting zone (78) that has supporting surface regions (88, 90) which are inclined relative to each other and adjoin each other in a transition zone (92) extending in the direction of the longitudinal shaft axis is provided on a second side of the fastening shaft (26), said second side lying opposite the first side relative to the longitudinal shaft axis.

  • Publication number: 20130241264
    Abstract: A chisel holder comprises a body zone (12) having a chisel receiving opening (18) that is open at least in the direction of a chisel insertion end (14) of the body zone (12), and also comprises a fastening shaft (26) which extends from a supporting end (20) of the body zone (12) and has a longitudinal shaft axis (LB), the body zone (12) having a first supporting surface region (22) at its supporting end (20). Said chisel holder is characterized in that the body zone (12) has a second supporting surface region (24) at its supporting end (20), said second surface region (24) extending at an angle from the first supporting surface region (22), or/and the first supporting surface region (22) comprises a first supporting surface (28) and a second supporting surface (30) extending at an angle from the first supporting surface (28).
