Abstract

Abstract The rotary-shaft bit (7) inserted in a bushing (3) fixedly mounted, encloses by means of a hollow-cylindrical extension (9) an annular extension (5) of the bushing (3) and projecting in axial direction of said bushing (3), and in this manner is supported closer to the tip of the bit (8) in order to absorb transverse forces, noting that the front surface (14) of the hollow-cylindrical extension (9) of the bit (7) can be supported on the flange (4) of the bushing (3) (FIG. 1).

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim 146 words
A bit assembly for a rotary mining tool comprising: a bit holder having a bore therein; a non-rotating bushing fixed in the bore of the bit holder, said bushing having a radial flange thereon, said flange having a first surface facing and abutting said bit holder and a second surface facing away from said bit holder, said bushing also having an annular extension of smaller diameter than said flange projecting axially beyond the flange in a direction away from said bit holder; a bit having a shaft portion rotatably mounted in said bushing and having a bit portion of enlarged diameter, said annular extension on said bushing fitting into a complementary axially facing annular groove in said bit portion so that said bit portion encloses said annular extension, and said bit portion having a surface supported on said second surface of said flange on said bushing.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 146 words
A bit assembly for a rotary mining tool comprising: a bit holder having a bore therein; a non-rotating bushing fixed in the bore of the bit holder, said bushing having a radial flange thereon, said flange having a first surface facing and abutting said bit holder and a second surface facing away from said bit holder, said bushing also having an annular extension of smaller diameter than said flange projecting axially beyond the flange in a direction away from said bit holder; a bit having a shaft portion rotatably mounted in said bushing and having a bit portion of enlarged diameter, said annular extension on said bushing fitting into a complementary axially facing annular groove in said bit portion so that said bit portion encloses said annular extension, and said bit portion having a surface supported on said second surface of said flange on said bushing.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 41 words
A bit assembly as in claim 1 wherein the fit between the outer diameter of the annular extension on said bushing and said groove in said bit portion is equal to the fit between said bit shaft portion and said bushing.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 56 words
A bit assembly as in claim 1 or 2 wherein the clearance between said bit shaft portion and said bushing is less at the ends of said shaft portion than the clearance between the remainder of said shaft portion and said bushing whereby the latter clearance forms an annular gap which can be filled with lubricant.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 39 words
A bit assembly as in claim 3 wherein said bit holder has a radial bore connecting at its inner end with said annular gap, the outer end of said radial bore having a connection for a hydraulic pressure line.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 48 words
A bit assembly as in claim 1 or 2 wherein the end of said bit shaft portion opposite said bit portion projects out of said bit holder and has an annular groove therein fitted with a spring clip which resiliently deflects in axial direction relative to said bit.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 12 words
A bit assembly as in claim 1 wherein said bushing is conical.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 16 words
A bit assembly as in claim 6 wherein said bore in said bit holder is conical.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 17 words
A bit assembly as in claim 6 or 7 wherein the angle of taper is about 6°.
