Abstract
Abstract The invention relates to a tool for breaking or excavating hard material, such as asphalt. The tool comprises a cutting insert (11) secured to a tool body (10). For purposes of maintaining the required cutting force low while ensuring that the risk is low that the cutting insert (11) will get loose the cutting insert (11) is provided with a concave portion (17 1 ) between the tip portion (12) of the cutting insert and a rear shoulder (13) thereon.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
144 words
A rotatable excavating tool for breaking hard material, comprising: an elongated tool body having an end with a diameter and a supporting surface; and a cutting insert of hard metal having a generally conical tip portion, an elongated intermediate portion integral with and extending from the generally conical tip portion, defining an abrupt transition from the generally conical tip portion, and having a maximum diameter which is substantially less than the diameter of the tool body end, a concave surface portion axially spaced from the generally conical tip portion, joining the elongated intermediate portion, extending radially outwardly therefrom, and being integral with the elongated intermediate portion, a shoulder with a diameter substantially larger than the maximum diameter of the elongated intermediate portion, and integrally joining the concave surface portion, and a rearwardly facing contact surface attached to the supporting surface of the tool body.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
144 words
A rotatable excavating tool for breaking hard material, comprising: an elongated tool body having an end with a diameter and a supporting surface; and a cutting insert of hard metal having a generally conical tip portion, an elongated intermediate portion integral with and extending from the generally conical tip portion, defining an abrupt transition from the generally conical tip portion, and having a maximum diameter which is substantially less than the diameter of the tool body end, a concave surface portion axially spaced from the generally conical tip portion, joining the elongated intermediate portion, extending radially outwardly therefrom, and being integral with the elongated intermediate portion, a shoulder with a diameter substantially larger than the maximum diameter of the elongated intermediate portion, and integrally joining the concave surface portion, and a rearwardly facing contact surface attached to the supporting surface of the tool body.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
23 words
A tool according to claim 1, wherein the elongated intermediate portion comprises a generally cylindrical portion located adjacent to the conical tip portion.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
60 words
A tool according to claim 2, wherein the distance (a) from the abrupt transition between the generally conical tip portion and the intermediate surface portion to the radially outermost portion of the rearwardly facing contact surface of the shoulder is larger than the distance (b) from said abrupt transition to the axially forwardmost portion of the generally conical tip portion.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
47 words
A tool according to claim 3, wherein the smallest diameter (d) of the concave surface portion is smaller than the distance (a+b) from the axially forwardmost portion of the generally conical tip portion to the radially outermost portion of the rearwardly facing contact surface of the shoulder.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
17 words
A tool according to claim 2, wherein the concave surface portion has a constant radius of curvature.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
60 words
A tool according to claim 1, wherein the distance (a) from the abrupt transition between the generally conical tip portion and the elongated intermediate portion to the radially outermost portion of the rearwardly facing contact surface of the shoulder is larger than the distance (b) from said abrupt transition to the axially forwardmost portion of the generally conical tip portion.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
47 words
A tool according to claim 6, wherein the smallest diameter (d) of the concave surface portion is smaller than the distance (a+b) from the axially forwardmost portion of the generally conical tip portion to the radially outermost portion of the rearwardly facing contact surface of the shoulder.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
17 words
A tool according to claim 7, wherein the concave surface portion has a constant radius of curvature.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
17 words
A tool according to claim 6, wherein the concave surface portion has a constant radius of curvature.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
17 words
A tool according to claim 1, wherein the concave surface portion has a constant radius of curvature.
