  • Patent number: 8225889
    Abstract: A drill head extending along a drill axis made of hard metal for rock drills is disclosed. The drill head features at least one major cutting edge and at least one minor cutting edge, where the major cutting edge extends from a first radially inner end to a first radial outer end which lies on a first diameter and where the minor cutting edge extends from a second radially inner end to a second radially outer end which lies on a second diameter that is smaller than the first diameter. A first enveloping surface defined by the minor cutting edge projects completely axially over a second enveloping surface defined by the major cutting edge.

  • Publication number: 20080119624
    Abstract: Process for polymerizing at least one olefinic monomer selected from ethylene, propylene and 1-butene in a loop reactor in the presence of a polymerization catalyst at from 20 to 150° C., but below the melting point of a polymer to be formed, and a pressure of from 43 to 80 bar, where the polymer formed is present in a suspension in a liquid or supercritical suspension medium and wherein the suspension is circulated by means of an axial pump, wherein the polymerization is carried out at an average solids concentration in the reactor of more than 53% by weight, in the case of continuous product discharge, and at an average solids concentration in the reactor of more than 45% by weight, in the case of discontinuous product discharge, and wherein the polymerization is carried out at an ethylene concentration of at least 10 mol %, based on the suspension medium.

  • Patent number: 7225890
    Abstract: An auxiliary cutting plate (10) for a multi-cutting plate drill bit (2) has a body (44) for fixing into a slot in the drill bit (2) and a profiled tip (46). The body (44) has a central longitudinal axis and the profiled tip (46) protrudes from one end of the body (44). The profiled tip (46) has a cutting edge (62) defined by a transition between a rake face (64) and a relief face (66). The rake face (64) and the relief face (66) each slope axially rearward from opposite sides of the cutting edge (62). The angle of inclination ? of at least a portion of the rake face (64), measured from a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, decreases with increasing distance from the cutting edge (62).

  • Patent number: 7137461
    Abstract: A masonry or rock drilling tool suitable for use with a rotary hammer has a drilling head (4, 104) at a forward end of the tool. A forwardly extending cutting plate (6, 106) is fitted or formed on the drilling head (4, 104). First and second opposing axially extending channels (36, 38, 136, 138) are formed on the circumferential periphery of the drilling head. The tool has a clamping shank (2, 102) at a rearward end of the tool suitable for fitment within a tool holder of a rotary hammer. An intermediate helical conveying portion (10, 110) extends between the drilling head and the clamping shank. The intermediate helical conveying portion has at least four helically extending flutes (14a–d, 114a–d) separated by corresponding helically extending webs (12a–d, 112a–d). The first of the axially extending channels extend axially rearwardly from a forward facing face of the drilling head into two of the four flutes.
