Abstract
Abstract A tool for drilling a cylindrical hole with an enlarged end undercut portion comprises a shank with cutting edges and a drill collet screwed to the shank by a knuckle thread. The collet is provided with a stop collar having a semispherically-shaped face supported in a matingly configurated recess provided in a stop plate so as to form a swivel bearing. A portion of the collet is closed by a bell connected to the stop plate and formed with a central hole to receive the shank of the tool.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
173 words
A tool for drilling holes with undercut enlarged portions in a support structure, comprising an enlongated drill shank having an axis of rotation, a drill bit at one end of said drill shank and having cutting edges extended radially outwardly of said drill shank; a drill collet at the other end of said drill shank, said drill collet being provided with a stop collar being of a substantially semispherical configuration; a stop plate being formed with a recess supporting said stop collar and being shaped so as to matingly complement the configuration of said stop collar thus forming therewith a swivel bearing; said drill shank being screwed into said drill collet; and a drill bell connectable to said stop plate and having a central through bore to receive said drill collet, said cutting edges being operative for forming a cylindrical hole in said support structure when the tool is axially advanced within said structure and for forming an enlarged undercut portion of the hole when a swiveling movement is imparted to the tool.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
173 words
A tool for drilling holes with undercut enlarged portions in a support structure, comprising an enlongated drill shank having an axis of rotation, a drill bit at one end of said drill shank and having cutting edges extended radially outwardly of said drill shank; a drill collet at the other end of said drill shank, said drill collet being provided with a stop collar being of a substantially semispherical configuration; a stop plate being formed with a recess supporting said stop collar and being shaped so as to matingly complement the configuration of said stop collar thus forming therewith a swivel bearing; said drill shank being screwed into said drill collet; and a drill bell connectable to said stop plate and having a central through bore to receive said drill collet, said cutting edges being operative for forming a cylindrical hole in said support structure when the tool is axially advanced within said structure and for forming an enlarged undercut portion of the hole when a swiveling movement is imparted to the tool.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
53 words
The tool as defined in claim 1, wherein said central through bore of said drill bell has such a diameter that it limits an angle of swiveling movement of said drill collet, this angle being adapted to a desired degree in accordance with an enlarged undercut portion of the hole to be produced.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
22 words
The tool as defined in claim 2, wherein said drill shank and said drill collet have respective external and internal knuckle threads.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
33 words
The tool as defined in claim 3, wherein said recess has a portion projecting beyond said stop collar in a direction of said drill bit so as to receive said drill shank therein.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
23 words
The tool as defined in claim 4, wherein said stop collar is provided with a number of recesses extending in an axial direction.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
43 words
The tool as defined in claim 5, wherein said stop plate includes a sleeve-shaped centering projection extending into the hole being produced and having an internal diameter larger than the external diameter of said drill shank, said shank extending through said sleeve-shaped projection.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
41 words
The tool as defined in claim 6, wherein said stop plate includes a disc connected to said bell, and a bushing mounted in said disc and formed with said recess supporting said stop collar, said projection being formed on said bushing.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
21 words
The tool as defined in claim 7, wherein said disc is made of plastic and said bushing is made of metal.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
26 words
The tool as defined in claim 6, further including a pipe socket connected to said bell to receive cuttings therefrom, said pipe socket being a handle.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
28 words
The tool as defined in claim 9, wherein said bell is formed with a sleeve-shaped projection extended inwardly of said bell and provided with said central through bore.
