Patent number: 4943192Abstract: The present invention is directed toward a drill bit which firstly comprises two locking grooves (1,1') diametrically opposed with respect to each other, and secondly, also diametrically opposed, with respect to each other, a first driving groove (3) and a second driving groove (4) associated with a locking groove (2) by being superimposed thereon. The driving groove (4) is advantageously angularly offset with respect to the associated locking groove (2) so as to have, in the drill bit driving zone, the lateral faces of the two associated grooves almost merged. This permits an extension of the friction zone so as to increase the wear resistance thereof, while the opposite lateral faces or edges of the superimposed grooves defines projecting locking surfaces (7) insuring proper locking of the drill bit.Type: GrantFiled: July 25, 1989Date of Patent: July 24, 1990Assignee: Societe de Prospection et d'Inventions Techniques (S.P.I.T.)Inventors: Jean-Jacques Lafforgue, Claude Schwartz

Patent number: 4844482Abstract: The drill chuck has an adapter shaft which is held in the drill chuck nonrotatably with axial motion play and formed for receipt in a tool holder of a hammer drill machine. The hammer action of the adapter shaft is transmittable to the end of a drill held between centrally adjustable clamp jaws through an axial passage. A stop piece is carried in the drill chuck which is movable above the drill chuck axially into a position clamped and locked against the tool holder of the hammer drill machine. Hence axial motion play of the adapter shaft is prevented in both the drill chuck and also in the tool holder and the former is for all intents and purposes rigidly attached with the latter.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 1987Date of Patent: July 4, 1989Inventor: Gunter H.

Patent number: 4775159Abstract: A chuck for receiving and holding the shank of a drilling tool includes a chuck member with a central bore. An anvil for transmitting axially directed percussive force extends into a rear end of the central bore. Clamping jaws are movable in guide channels formed in the chuck member extending into the central bore ahead of the anvil for frictionally locking the shank. In the region of the chuck member into which the anvil is located, there is a radially extending passageway through the chuck member extending between the central bore and a guide channel. A retaining member is radially displaceable through the passageway and has a dimension so that it can project outwardly or inwardly from the passageway. When the remaining member extends radially inwardly from the passageway, it can seat within an annular groove in the anvil and hold the anvil in a position so that it does not transmit percussive force.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 1987Date of Patent: October 4, 1988Assignee: Hilti AktiengesellschaftInventor: Erwin Manschitz
