Abstract

Abstract A drill for rock comprising a boring head arranged on one end of a drill shank and having radially projecting wings, an axial centering projection which projects in a boring direction in front of the wings, said wings and said projection constituting carriers of eccentrically arranged cutter bodies and a centering cutter body, respectively. Breaker surfaces are formed on the wing surfaces between the cutter bodies, respectively, pointing to the centering point of the centering cutter body. Each surface of the boring head located between the wings has at least one jacket line which extends longitudinally to the axis of the boring head and directly joins to a jacket line of the outer surface of the centering projection and is inclined relative thereto at an obtuse angle.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 21
Claim 1
Independent Claim 270 words
A drill for boring rock in a boring direction comprising a boring head body arranged on one end of a drill shank and having a central axis and at least two wings radially extending in different radial directions and having surfaces pointing in said boring direction, an axial centering projection having an end which projects in said boring direction in front of said wings, said wings and said centering projection constituting carriers of cutter bodies having cutting edges, said cutter bodies being arranged eccentrically on radial outer ends of said surfaces of said wings, and on the end of said centering projection, respectively, said centering cutter body on said centering projection projecting radially from said central axis and having a centering point on said central axis pointing in said boring direction, said eccentrically arranged cutter bodies having radial inner ends disposed from said centering cutter body at radial distances such that parts of said surfaces of said wings located radially between said inner ends and said centering cutter body form breaker surfaces serving during drilling to break annular surfaces, unworked by said cutter bodies, of rock to be bored, said boring head having channel type surfaces positioned between said wings, said centering projection having an outer surface defining centering projection jacket lines, each of said channel type surfaces having at least one bottom jacket line extending longitudinally to the longitudinal axis of said boring head body and directly joining one of said centering projection jacket lines, and said bottom jacket line forming at least at its joining end an obtuse angle with respect to said one centering projection jacket line.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 270 words
A drill for boring rock in a boring direction comprising a boring head body arranged on one end of a drill shank and having a central axis and at least two wings radially extending in different radial directions and having surfaces pointing in said boring direction, an axial centering projection having an end which projects in said boring direction in front of said wings, said wings and said centering projection constituting carriers of cutter bodies having cutting edges, said cutter bodies being arranged eccentrically on radial outer ends of said surfaces of said wings, and on the end of said centering projection, respectively, said centering cutter body on said centering projection projecting radially from said central axis and having a centering point on said central axis pointing in said boring direction, said eccentrically arranged cutter bodies having radial inner ends disposed from said centering cutter body at radial distances such that parts of said surfaces of said wings located radially between said inner ends and said centering cutter body form breaker surfaces serving during drilling to break annular surfaces, unworked by said cutter bodies, of rock to be bored, said boring head having channel type surfaces positioned between said wings, said centering projection having an outer surface defining centering projection jacket lines, each of said channel type surfaces having at least one bottom jacket line extending longitudinally to the longitudinal axis of said boring head body and directly joining one of said centering projection jacket lines, and said bottom jacket line forming at least at its joining end an obtuse angle with respect to said one centering projection jacket line.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 18 words
The drill for rock, as set forth in claim 1, wherein said obtuse angle is at least 120°.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 20 words
The drill for rock, as set forth in claim 1, wherein said breaker surfaces of said wings are convexly curved.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 43 words
The drill for rock, as set forth in claim 1, wherein said eccentrically arranged cutter bodies are so located at different sides of said axis of said boring head that the angular distances between adjacent of said cutting edges are of different sizes.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 26 words
The drill for rock, as set forth in claim 1, wherein the angles between said radial directions of adjacent of said wings are of different sizes.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 48 words
The drill for rock, as set forth in claim 1, wherein each of said cutting edges of said eccentrically arranged cutter bodies is inclined with respect to a radial plane of said boring head body intersecting said cutting edge, by which borings during boring are fed radially outwardly.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 81 words
The drill for rock, as set forth in claim 1, wherein said centering projection is formed from said one end of said drill shank, said boring head body is formed as an annular body securable on said drill shank, and said annular body forms said wings and therebetween said channel type surfaces each having at least said one bottom jacket line, the latter joining to at least said one centering projection jacket line of said outer surface of said centering projection.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 26 words
The drill for rock, as set forth in claim 1, wherein said boring head body has more than two of said wings carrying said cutter bodies.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 20 words
The drill for rock, as set forth in claim 8, wherein said boring head body has four of said wings.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim 23 words
The drill for rock, as set forth in claim 1, wherein said wings run helically about said axis of said boring head body.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim 39 words
The drill for rock, as set forth in claim 10, further comprising a helix formed on said drill shank for carrying away borings, and at least one helically shaped of said wings forms a forward end of said helix.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim 58 words
The drill for rock, as set forth in claim 10, wherein said drill shank is unround, a helical body formed complementary in part to said drill shank and having a helix thereon, and said helical body is pushably disposed complementarily on said drill shank with said helix extending to one of said wings of said boring head body.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim 19 words
The drill for rock, as set forth in claim 12, wherein said helical body is made of synthetic material.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim 41 words
The drill for rock, as herein-above set forth in claim 1, wherein said cutter bodies are eccentrically so arranged that at least some of said cutting edges are disposed at different radial distances from said axis of said boring head body.
Claim 16
Dependent Claim 31 words
The drill for rock, as set forth in claim 14, wherein a plurality of said cutting edges are arranged at one radial distance from said axis of said boring head body.
Claim 17
Dependent Claim 38 words
The drill for rock, as set forth in claim 14, wherein said cutting edges disposed at different radial distances from said axis of said boring head body are also disposed at different axial distances from said centering point.
Claim 18
Dependent Claim 29 words
