Abstract
Abstract A shank 11 on a tool bit for percussion drilling or chiseling has at least two rotary entrainment grooves (13, 14, 16), however, they are not arranged in diametrically opposed relation. In addition, the shank has at least one locking groove (12). The rotary entrainment grooves (13, 14, 16) are open at the end face (17) of the shank inserted into the chuck, so that rotary entrainment members in a tool bit chuck can be inserted into the rotary entrainment grooves (13, 14, 16). Locking groove (12) is closed at its end adjacent the end (17) of the tool bit inserted into the chuck, so that a locking member of the chuck can fit into the locking groove to prevent axial displacement of the tool bit out of the chuck. To reduce significantly the wear of the shank and the chuck, the shank has an additional rotary entrainment groove (15) located diametrically opposite the locking groove (12). Further, an additional rotary entrainment member is provided opposite the locking member in the chuck.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
155 words
Tool bit comprising an axially extending shank for insertion into a tool bit chuck in a hand-held tool used for chiseling and/or drilling and/or percussion drilling, at least two axially extending rotary entrainment grooves (13, 14, 16) in said shank and disposed out of diametrically opposed relation, said shank has an end (17) to be inserted into said chuck, said rotary entrainment grooves extend to said end of said shank, so that rotary entrainment members of the chuck can be inserted into said rotary entrainment grooves, and at least one axially extending locking groove (12) in said shank and arranged to receive at least a locking member in the chuck, said locking groove (12) is closed at the end thereof closer to said end of said shank for limiting axial movements of the tool bit, wherein the improvement comprises an additional rotary entrainment groove (15) positioned at least approximately diametrically opposite said locking groove (12).
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
155 words
Tool bit comprising an axially extending shank for insertion into a tool bit chuck in a hand-held tool used for chiseling and/or drilling and/or percussion drilling, at least two axially extending rotary entrainment grooves (13, 14, 16) in said shank and disposed out of diametrically opposed relation, said shank has an end (17) to be inserted into said chuck, said rotary entrainment grooves extend to said end of said shank, so that rotary entrainment members of the chuck can be inserted into said rotary entrainment grooves, and at least one axially extending locking groove (12) in said shank and arranged to receive at least a locking member in the chuck, said locking groove (12) is closed at the end thereof closer to said end of said shank for limiting axial movements of the tool bit, wherein the improvement comprises an additional rotary entrainment groove (15) positioned at least approximately diametrically opposite said locking groove (12).
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
30 words
Tool bit, as set forth in claim 1, wherein the axial extent of said additional rotary entrainment groove (15) is larger than the axial extent of said locking groove (12).
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
21 words
Tool bit, as set forth in claims 1 or 2, wherein said additional rotary entrainment groove (15) has approximately planar flanks.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
31 words
Tool bit, as set forth in claims 1 or 2, wherein said additional rotary entrainment groove (15) has a cross-sectional shape arranged to receive an additional locking member of the chuck.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
95 words
Chuck for a tool bit used for percussion drilling and/or chiseling, said chuck comprises an axially extending recess for receiving the tool bit, said recess has at least two rotary entrainment members (23, 24, 26) not in diametrically opposed relation for introduction into complementary shaped rotary entrainment grooves (13, 14, 16) of the tool bit, at least one locking member (28) for radial introduction into a locking groove (12) of the tool bit, wherein the improvement comprises an additional rotary entrainment member (25) in said recess and located approximately diametrically opposite said locking member (28).
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
95 words
Chuck for a tool bit used for percussion drilling and/or chiseling, said chuck comprises an axially extending recess for receiving the tool bit, said recess has at least two rotary entrainment members (23, 24, 26) not in diametrically opposed relation for introduction into complementary shaped rotary entrainment grooves (13, 14, 16) of the tool bit, at least one locking member (28) for radial introduction into a locking groove (12) of the tool bit, wherein the improvement comprises an additional rotary entrainment member (25) in said recess and located approximately diametrically opposite said locking member (28).
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
18 words
Chuck, as set forth in claim 5, wherein said additional rotary entrainment member (25) has approximately planar surfaces.
