Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
151 words
A rock drill, comprising: a drill head; a clamping shaft; and a helical shaft having a constant minor diameter and being interposed between said drill head and said clamping shaft, said helical shaft comprising: a central portion having a first major diameter; two end portions each having a second major diameter smaller than the first major diameter; and a continuous conveying helix extending along said helical shaft for conveying rock dust; said conveying helix having opposite end portions corresponding to respective said end portions of said helical shaft; said drill head and said clamping shaft being threaded onto respective said end portions of said conveying helix to threadably fasten said helical shaft to said drill head and said clamping shaft; the major diameters being measured between diametrically opposite points on an outer face of said helix; said minor diameter being measured between diametrically opposite points of a root of said helix.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
151 words
A rock drill, comprising: a drill head; a clamping shaft; and a helical shaft having a constant minor diameter and being interposed between said drill head and said clamping shaft, said helical shaft comprising: a central portion having a first major diameter; two end portions each having a second major diameter smaller than the first major diameter; and a continuous conveying helix extending along said helical shaft for conveying rock dust; said conveying helix having opposite end portions corresponding to respective said end portions of said helical shaft; said drill head and said clamping shaft being threaded onto respective said end portions of said conveying helix to threadably fasten said helical shaft to said drill head and said clamping shaft; the major diameters being measured between diametrically opposite points on an outer face of said helix; said minor diameter being measured between diametrically opposite points of a root of said helix.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
16 words
A rock drill as defined in claim 1, wherein said conveying helix comprises a trapezoidal thread.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
52 words
A rock drill as defined in claim 1, wherein said drill head and said clamping shaft each include a threaded receptacle for receiving said helical shaft, and at least one of said drill head and said clamping shaft has an essentially cylindrical outer casing surface in a region of said threaded receptacle.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
20 words
A rock drill as defined in claim 3, wherein said drill head comprises an outer casing surface having drilling-dust grooves.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
34 words
A rock drill as defined in claim 3, wherein said drill head comprises an outer casing surface having a first diameter, and a carbide tip having a second diameter larger than the first diameter.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
67 words
A rock drill as defined in claim 1, wherein said drill head and said clamping shaft each includes a threaded receptacle for receiving said helical shaft, each said drill head and said clamping shaft has an outer casing surface in a region of a respective threaded receptacle, and each said outer casing surface has a diameter essentially equal to said first major diameter of said helical shaft.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
20 words
A rock drill as defined in claim 1, wherein said conveying helix has one of a single flight and multi-flight.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
17 words
A rock drill as defined in claim 1, wherein said conveying helix has a twisted longitudinal profile.
