Description

    FIELD
  • The present disclosure relates to holesaws and, more particularly, to a mandrel assembly which enables easy removal of a holesaw.
    • BACKGROUND
  • Holesaw mandrel assemblies exist in the art. Ordinarily, the holesaw mandrel assembly includes a threaded spud to receive a holesaw. The mandrel assembly also includes pins which fit into apertures in the holesaw base to maintain the holesaw in position during use. When the holesaw is in a use position, ordinarily the holesaw is loose on or has play between the pins enabling slight movement of the holesaws. This is due to the fact that the apertures in the base of the holesaw do not align with the pins when the holesaw is tightened onto the mandrel. Thus, the holesaw must be backed off from contacting the mandrel in order for the pins to fit into the apertures in the base of the holesaw. Thus, there is vibration and noise associated with the holesaw during use.
  • Also, during use, since there is play between the holesaw and the pins, it is possible that the pins may withdraw from the holesaw. Also, since the pins, which are attached to a spring loaded sliding collar, must be removed from the holesaw through the mandrel body in order to remove the holesaw, a large spring force cannot be utilized. This is due to the fact that the sliding collar must be moved by the user. Thus, the spring force must enable easy movement of the sliding collar which may not be optimun to retain the pins in the holesaw.
  • Also, holesaws generally include a bore to receive a pilot drill bit. The bore ordinarily includes a set screw perpendicular to the axis of the bore to retain the pilot drill in the bore. The bores are right cylindrical bores and provide the same retention mechanism for various types of shanks on the pilot drill bits.
  • Thus, it would be desirable to eliminate play between the holesaw and the mandrel. Likewise, it is desirable to increase the retention of the pins in the holesaw apertures. Further, it is desirable to provide a pilot drill bit bore which accommodates pilot drill bits various types of shanking ends.
    • SUMMARY
  • The present disclosure overcomes the deficiencies of the prior art. The present disclosure provides a resilient member which compresses when contact by the holesaw to eliminate play between the holesaw and the mandrel body when the holesaw is in a used position. The present disclosure provides a magnetized sliding collar which is magnetically attracted to the mandrel body to enhance the connection between the sliding collar and the mandrel body to prevent withdrawal of the pins from apertures in the holesaw. The present disclosure provides a positioning member in the pilot drill bore to provide a desired orientation of the pilot drill bit.
  • According to a first aspect of the disclosure, a holesaw mandrel assembly comprises a mandrel including a body having at least one bore. A first end couples the body with a driver, such as a drill motor. A second end extends from the body and includes a threaded spud. A sliding collar is axially movable on the body. The sliding collar includes at least one pin extending through the mandrel body at least one bore into a holesaw. A resilient member is adjacent the threaded spud. The resilient member compresses when it is contacted by a holesaw screwed onto the threaded member. The resilient member eliminates play between the holesaw and the mandrel body when in a used position. The resilient member may be an O-ring surrounding the threaded spud. The O-ring abuts and rests upon the mandrel body.
  • According to a second aspect of the disclosure, a holesaw mandrel assembly comprises a mandrel including a body having at least one bore and a first end coupled with the body.

    •  DETAILED DESCRIPTION
  • The following description is merely exemplary in nature and is not intended to limit the present disclosure, application, or uses.
  • Turning to the drawings, a holesaw mandrel assembly is illustrated and designated with the reference numeral 10. A holesaw 12 is illustrated in perspective. Also, a pilot drill bit extends from the mandrel assembly 10.
  • The mandrel assembly 10 includes a mandrel body 16. The mandrel body 16 includes a first end 18 and a second end 20. The first end 18 may have an outer polygonal shape to fit into a driver such as a drill motor. The second end 20 includes a threaded spud 22. The threaded spud 22 receives the holesaw 12 in a conventional manner.
  • The mandrel body 16 has an enlarged cylindrical portion 24 adjacent the first end 18. The enlarged cylindrical portion 24 terminates at a cylindrical collar 26. The cylindrical collar 26 includes a set screw bore 28 which receives set screw 30. Also, bores 32 extend through the cylindrical collar 26. The bores 32 receive retaining pins which will be explained herein. Also, a pilot drill bit bore 34 extends through the second end 20 into the cylindrical collar 26 and enlarged cylindrical portion 24.
  • The cylindrical bore 34 defines a cylindrical surface 36 having a flat portion 38 adjacent the terminus 40 of the bore. The flat portion 38 includes a planar surface which is parallel to the axis of the bore. The flat portion 38 provides a surface to position of pilot drill bits into the bore 34. A pilot drill bit having a single flat shanking portion or a tri-lobe shanking portion will contact the flat portion 38. This provides proper orientation of the pilot drill bits in the bore 34. This also positions the pilot drill bit at a desired position with respect to the set screw, which secures the drill bit in the bore 34. In the case of a cylindrical pilot drill bit, the terminal end of the drill bit contacts the flat portion 38 to position it with respect to the set screw.
  • A resilient member 44 is positioned on the second end 20 of the mandrel body 16. The resilient member 44 can be a rubber O-ring surrounding the threaded spud 22. The resilient member 44 provides the holesaw mandrel assembly 10 with a compression member. When the holesaw 12 is screwed onto the spud 22, the holesaw 12 is turned until it contacts the resilient member 44. Since the resilient member 44 abuts the face of the cylindrical collar 26, it compresses when contacted by the holesaw 12. The holesaw 12 is continued to be turned until the pins 54 can extend into the aperture 46 in the base of the holesaw 12. Thus, the holesaw 12 is maintained in position, during use, against vibration and play which occurs in prior art devices.
  • A sliding collar 50 is positioned onto the enlarged cylindrical portion 24 of the body 16. The sliding collar 50 axially moves along the enlarged cylindrical portion 24. A spring 52 provides a force to push the sliding collar 50 against the body collar 26. The collar 50 includes at least one, and preferably a pair of pins 54. The pins 54 project through bores 32 in the cylindrical collar 26. The pins 54, in turn, project into the apertures 46 in the base of the holesaw 12 to retain the holesaw in position on the threaded spud 22. The sliding collar 50 includes a skirt 56 which retains the spring in contact with the sliding collar 50.
  • The sliding collar 50 may be magnetized. Thus, the sliding collar 50 is magnetically attracted to the cylindrical collar 26 of the mandrel body 16. The sliding collar 50 may include one or more magnets 60 positioned flush with the surface of the sliding collar adjacent the body cylindrical collar 26. When a plurality of magnets 60 is used, they are equally spaced about the sliding collar 50. The magnet 60 further enhances the retention of the pins 54 in position extending through the cylindrical collar 26 and holesaw 12. This prevents withdrawal of the pins 54 from the holesaw 12.
  • The sliding collar 50 includes a bore 62 which is in contact with the enlarged cylindrical portion 24. The bore 62 has a contact surface 64 which provides increased surface contact with the enlarged cylindrical portion 24. The increased surface contact reduces vibration and wobbling of the sliding collar 50 on the enlarged cylindrical portion 24. This in turn provides a smooth sliding motion of the sliding collar 50 on the enlarged cylindrical portion 24.
  • The set screw 30 includes a head 72 and a shank 74. The head 72 includes a tool receiving receptacle 76, which receives multiple tools. As illustrated, the tool receiving receptacle 76 is set to receive a hex wrench or a flat screwdriver. Thus, the set screw 30 can be removed by one or more different tools.
  • The description of the invention is merely exemplary in nature and, thus, variations that do not depart from the gist of the invention are intended to be within the scope of the invention. Such variations are not to be regarded as a departure from the spirit and scope of the disclosure.
