Abstract
Abstract Device for drilling a hole of predetermined depth having an abutment member non-rotatable in relation to the stationary part of the drilling machine and provided with an abutment surface intended to come into contact with the work piece by the displacement of the drill spindle of said drilling machine towards the work piece, a driving member intended to be connected to the drill spindle said driving member being rotatably and displaceably arranged in relation to the abutment member, a holding member intended to hold the drill and being rotatably mounted relative to the abutment member and displaceably but not rotatably connected to the driving member and provided to be secured against axial displacement in relation to the abutment member and a spring provided between said driving member and said abutment member, the driving member being displaceably in a direction towards the work piece against the action of said spring.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
324 words
A device, for incorporation between an axially movable drill spindle and a drill bit, comprising: (i) a driving member for connection to the drill spindle so as to move axially and rotationally with said drill spindle (ii) a guiding member disposed about said driving member and mounted thereon by bearing means which permit relative rotation but prevent relative axial movement (iii) a drill holding member, to receive the drill bit, engaged with said driving member so as to be relatively axially slidable but keyed against relative rotation, said drill holding member including a portion which is slidable axially between the drill holding member and the guiding member, (iv) an assembly of a housing and a sleeve, the sleeve being externally threaded and the housing being internally threaded and engaged by its threading on an end of the sleeve so as to be adjustable axially, said assembly being positioned about the driving member, the guiding member and the drill holding member, the sleeve being coupled to the drill holding member by an axial thrust bearing, the guiding member being axially slidable in the housing but keyed against relative rotation, (v) compression spring means positioned between the guiding member and the sleeve for transmitting from the driving member to the drill holding member an axial thrust which is adjustable by axial adjustment of the housing on the sleeve, (vi) an abutment member which is internally threaded and is engaged on the other end of the sleeve, said abutment member being positioned about and extending axially beyond the drill holding member to abut a workpiece, axial adjustment of the abutment member with respect to the sleeve serving to adjust the extent to which the drill holding member may approach the workpiece and thereby adjusting the depth to which the drill bit may enter the workpiece, (vii) stop means coupled to the housing, the sleeve, and the abutment means for preventing rotation thereof when the driving member rotates.
