Definitions

  • the present invention relates to drill bits of the type in which a plurality of cutting pins are removably retained on the face of a bit holder.
  • the present invention further relates to a novel means of positively retaining the bits in the bit holder.
  • a further object is to provide a bit having a plurality of smaller cutting bits with abutting shoulders adjacent to the cutting face thereof and a spring pin inserted through a bit holder to engage grooves in the Shanks of the cutting inserts whereby the bits are positively held in a xed position in the bit holder.
  • each individual cutting bit can be rotated on its own axis to obtain a new gauge cutting edge without affecting any other bit in the group.
  • the abutting shoulders on the cutting bits keep the bits from turning when the drill is used, thus keeping the gauge diameter of the hole more accurate.
  • Usable parts from a damaged bit assembly can be reused in another bit assembly so that all of the parts are used for their full life.
  • the positive connection between the pin Shanks and the bit holder retain the bit in the bit holder so that individual cutting bits are not lost during a drilling operation.
  • the present invention comprises a cluster bit including a plurality of cutting bits positively retained in a bit holder with engaged shoulders preventing relative rotative movement therebetween.
  • the invention further consists in the parts and combinations and arrangements of parts hereinafter described and claimed.
  • FIG. 1 is an end elevational view of the present invention
  • FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along the line 2-2 of FIG. l;
  • FIG. 3 is a side elevational View of a modified form of fastening means.
  • the present invention embodies a drill bit including a bit holder 11 whose shank portion is adapted to engage a drill rod (not shown).
  • the bit holder 11 has a forward face 12 which is provided with a plurality of pockets 13.
  • Each pocket 13 opens to the bit holder face 12 and has vertical side walls 14 terminating in a base 15.
  • Extending laterally through each bit holder 11 from side to side are a pair of passageways 16 which engage the inner side Walls 14 of the sockets 13.
  • the openings 16 define a semicircular groove 17 in each pocket side wall 14.
  • Each of the cutting bits 18 comprises a head portion 19 having a cutting face 20 provided with slots 21 wherein cutting inserts 22 are retained.
  • the bit head portion 19 has iiattened sides 23 connecting the cutting face 20' and an opposed shoulder 24.
  • a shank portion 25 having vertical side walls 26 terminating in a small butt end 2'7 is connected to the head portion 19 at the shoulder 24.
  • the shank portion 25 is provided with a necked down portion or groove 28 which is adapted to correspond to the groove 17 in the bit holder pocket 13 when the cutting bit 13 is received in the socket 13.
  • the fastening means 29 is of a larger diameter than the passageway 16 and is compressed slightly when inserted into said passageway. Therefore, the diameter of the fastening means must be variable.
  • FIG. 3 shows a modified form of fastening means which is a pin 3) having tapered ends 31 and a lengthwise slot 32 therein.
  • the outside diameter of the pin 36 is larger than the passageway 16 so that the pin is compressed when it is forced into said passageway 16.
  • carbide or all steel bits can be used in this construction.
  • Either single edge bits, commonly known as chisel bits, or multiple edge bits are suitable for use in the present invention.
  • the outer periphery of the cutting area or cutting face 20 is defined by the outermost edges of the cutting inserts 22, and must be greater than the outer periphery of the bit holder 11 to drill a clear hole which will hold the cluster bit 10.
  • bit holder 11 can be made of a special material and heat treated to stand excessive hammering blows, while the bits 1S can be made from material suitable for brazing or otherwise attaching the cutting inserts 22.
  • the pressure pin retaining means 29 When the pressure pin retaining means 29 is used, it is not necessary to seat the inset bits 18 in their sockets 13 by driving before drilling, nor is it necessary to be sure that the air hammer is not operated until it reaches the bottom of the hole.
  • the pressure pins 29 stay in tight, do not rotate during drilling and do not tend to work out of the holes.
  • the present invention provides a novel drill bit including a bit holder retaining cutting bits having abutting shoulders to restrain rotation between the cutting bits, and a positive pressure pin lock means which retains the cutting bits in the bit holder.
  • a drill bit comprising a drill bit holder provided with four open ended straight walled sockets and two open ended transverse passageways, each of said passageways intersecting two of said sockets, four cutting bits comprising head portions having slots therein and shank portions adapted to be received in the sockets, cutter inserts positioned in said slots defining a cutting area whose outer periphery deiines the gauge diameter of the bit, flattened side Walls on each bit head portion adapted to engage a correspondingly attened portion on an adjacent bit to retain the cutting bits xed in the bit holder relative to each other, each of the cutting bit shank portions having a notch aligned with the intersection of one of the trans verse passageways and the bit holder socket, and fastening pin means positioned in each of the transverse slots, each of said pin means engaging both the bit holder and two of the bit shank notches to positively retain the bits in their sockets, each of said fastening pin means being of a larger diameter than the bit holder passageways and the shank notches
