Definitions
- the present invention relates to a power tool accessory, providing a guide for a drill bit.
- a drill guidance device is shown in EP-A-0894560 comprising a single tube attached at one end to a semicircular plate.
- the underside of this plate has some form of adhesive surface.
- the adhesive surface provides initial grip, until contamination by other substances or sufficiently high number of uses that its adhesive qualities are severely reduced and its ability to maintain a stable position and therefore guide drilling are hampered.
- the flush nature of both the semicircular plate and the single tube to the surface being drilled into implies that there is no escape path for drilling waste. Such waste would therefore compact in the hole being produced.
- the design is such that the user's fingers are necessarily in close proximity to the rotating. drill bit, raising questions about safe usage of the device.
- a second design in the marketplace see www.screwfix.com - Portable
- Drill Stand and a similar construction shown in US Patent No. 3,874,810, comprises a metal jig into which the user clamps their drill. One then holds onto the metal jig and presses the drill down guided by two sprung loaded metal struts that connect a circular plate on the drilling surface and the clamp into which the drill is placed.
- the nature of the clamp is such that only drills of a single collar size can be attached; the clamp and base plate design prevents the user making use of any integral depth measures which are a common feature of modern power drills; the drillbit itself is not supported at the point of contact and can therefore still be susceptible to a small degree of movement and offers no reduction in the amount of surface deterioration that can aiso be a drilling problem.
- US Patent Nos. 3,775,020 and 3,804,546 disclose drill bit guides comprising a handle and a guide member comprising a rotatable template having various sized apertures for respective drill bit sizes.
- US Patent No. 5,743,916 discloses a drill guide for a surgical drill for performing very delicate drilling operations. It comprises a telescopic tubular guide into which a drill bit is inserted. A tubular ferrule is fitted into the top of the tubular guide, having an internal diameter matching that of the drill bit. A handle is attached to the tubular guide, and has a row of cylindrical bores that receive tubular ferrules of different internal diameters, in a snap fit manner. A ferrule may thus be chosen to match the size of the drill bit being used in a drilling operation.
- the concept of the present invention is to provide an accessory for a power drill for DIY use, which enables the drill bit to be guided to make an accurate drill hole, in a variety of surfaces, and where the drill may be subject to rough usage.
- the invention provides a power drill accessory, comprising a body member including storage means for releasably holding a plurality of drill bit guide members, each guide member including an aperture dimensioned to receive a drill bit of an appropriate diameter, the body member having a head region including holding means for releasably holding a selected said guide member in a position for guiding a drill bit held in a power drill, and the body member including a handle member for holding and positioning the accessory.
- the lower surface of the head region provides an extended surface area around the drill bit aperture when drilling takes place for gripping the accessory in its defined position against the work surface. Further this extended surface area may be recessed or apertured in an appropriate manner to permit escape of waste material from the drilling operation region and to maintain proper contact of the surface with the work surface. In many drilling operations for DIY, a large quantity of waste material may be generated.
- a guide member is insertable into the holding means from beneath, and the lower surface of the guide member defines the lower surface of the guiding region. The upper surface of the guide member may engage against the holding means for retention. Should a power drill be moved into contact with the accessory, it may contact the guide member rather than the holding means. Thus reaction forces and other forces that arise in drilling will be taken up principally by the guide member, and the guide member has a strong and sturdy construction to absorb these forces.
- the guide member has a body including a frame that may be rectangular or square. Other body shapes are possible, for example circular or star-shaped. Equivalently, the body may be regarded as of a hollowed construction.
- the body may be formed of side faces, with strengthened corner regions having diagonal ribs that lead to a central tube that contains a bore for receiving and guiding a drill bit.
- the diagonal ribs may contain channels that lead from the central bore to the exterior of the guide member and which serve as conduits for waste material from the drilling operation.
- the upper surface of the guide member may comprise a circular disk having a central aperture that defines the opening of the bore and which provides a reaction surface should the power drill come into contact.
- Side faces of the body may be flexible and may have engagement ribs along their lower perimeter. These may engage corresponding channels in the holding means to enable a snap fit or snap fit of the guide member in the holding means, so that there is no risk of the guide member falling out of the holding means during use.
- the storage means comprises a rack or tray like part that has a plurality of compartments for receiving respective guide members.
- the compartments of the storage rack may have channels for receiving said ribs of the guide members for positively retaining the guide members.
- the underside and/or upper surface of each compartment may have a U shaped - A - cutout for enabling access by a finger to remove a guide member in a single sliding operation, against the retention force.
- the invention provides a power drill accessory, comprising a body member including storage means which releasably holds a plurality of drill bit guide members, each guide member including a bore dimensioned to receive a drill bit of an appropriate diameter, the body member including a head region that includes holding means for releasably holding a selected said guide member in a position for guiding a drill bit held in a power drill, said storage means comprising a rack extending from said head region and having a plurality of compartments for receiving respective guide members, and the body member including a handle member extending over said rack, and which is joined at one end to said head region, and a lower surface of the head region surrounding said bore being adapted for positioning adjacent the work surface to be drilled to provide an extended grip surface area.
- the invention provides a power drill accessory, comprising a body member including storage means for releasably holding a plurality of drill bit guide members, the body member including a head region that includes holding means for releasably holding a selected said guide member in a position for guiding a drill bit held in a power drill, said storage means comprising a rack extending from said head region and having a plurality of compartments for receiving respective guide members, and the body member including a handle member extending over said rack, and which is joined at one end to said head region, and a lower surface of the head region being adapted for positioning adjacent the surface to be drilled.
- the invention provides a guide member for a power drill accessory for guiding a drill bit, the guide member having a body including a frame that supports a central portion that contains a bore for receiving and guiding a drill bit, the frame being such as to permit escape of drilling waste material from the bore.
- the replaceable nature of the guide members ensures that no matter what size drillbit the user wishes to guide, there is a corresponding guide member to fit (within practical constraints).
- the invention may, in a preferred embodiment, use rubber or similar inserts, which are placed away from drilling waste and can easily be renewed for continuing service grip.
- the present invention does not, and has no associated limitations of drill size, given that the interface between drill and guide occurs only at the drillbit itself and can be matched precisely by changing the guide members.
- the guiding region of the invention is deliberately of a low-profile form such that any user may continue to perform a depth measurement function with the extending arm devices commonly found on most power drills; the arm will pass successfully alongside the head and onto the drilling surface.
- a degree of flaking and crumbling can result in hole enlargement, and therefore unsatisfactorily accurate holes (enlarged holes may not fit the desired insert or allow some degree of unwanted movement).
- This problem is significantly reduced by the invention because the guide position is at the contact point on the drilling surface.
- the waste channel walls of the guide member and head component may press directly onto the drilling surface and therefore serve to prevent flaking and crumbling by preserving the integrity of the surface itself.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the power drill tool accessory of the invention, showing guide members in a holding means and in a compartment of a storage rack;
- FIGS 2 and 3 are perspective views of the accessory of the preferred embodiment, from above and below;
- Figures 4 and 5 are detail perspective views of the guiding region of the preferred embodiment, from above and below;
- Figures 6 and 7 are detail perspective views of a guide member of the preferred embodiment, from above and below; and Figures 8 to 11 are diagrams showing how the preferred embodiment of the power drill accessory is used.
- the main body of the power drill tool accessory consists of five elements: a head region or holding means (1), a storage block or rack (2), a single pivot handle (3), a joining pyramid (4), and removable guide members (5)
- the guide members (5) are replaceable components which can be inserted into the head (1) of the main tool.
- Each guide member is of identical dimensions, but the core or bore running through the centre (6) is of varying diameter, to correspond with the varying diameter drill bits that a user may wish to select. The user can interchange any guide member into the head of the tool to satisfy the drilling task requirement.
- the upper surface of the guide member is that of an annulus or disc (7), with raised markings.
- One group of markings indicates the diameter size of the hole (8).
- the other four markings are positioned at the points of a compass rose North South East and West (9), but are offset 45° therefore pointing at each corner of the guide member. This alignment is such that when a guide member is positioned in the head of the drill accessory, the markings are also then at 45°.
- the ergonomic position to use the accessory is at 45° to that of the power drill. Therefore, the offset of the raised markings will be moved into a vertical and horizontal alignment that will naturally correspond with the typical surface markings to designate a drilling point ( Figure 8).
- the central bore (6) At the centre of the upper surface of the guide member is the central bore (6), that serves to guide the drillbit.
- the upper aperture to this bore is countersunk to produce a downward sloping surface (10) that narrows to the central hole which is of the correct measured diameter as indicated on the upper surface by the raised markings i.e. the hole on the uppermost surface of the guide member will exceed that shown on the surface markings, e.g. 12 mm at the upper surface, but will reduce to correspond to the marked measurement, e.g. 4 mm.
- the outer circle of the upper surface is maintained to a depth of approximately 2 to 3 mm to provide a thin disc (11 ).
- This disc shape sits upon the predominantly cubic structure (100) that makes up the rest of the guide member, although in practice the circular and cubic elements are moulded as one piece.
- the cubic structure (100) comprises a frame with side faces (102), strengthened corner regions (104), and diagonal ribs (106) that lead from respective corner regions to a central part (108) that defines the central bore (6).
- the guide member itself has certain characteristics to maximise its usability. It is transparent so that light can penetrate through the object and onto the surface where the drill marking may be, although this is not essential to using the guide in the drilling process it is a design feature believed to make operating considerably easier.
- the guide member is manufactured from a plastic with properties similar to that of nylon, which, has sufficient wear characteristics: the plastic used must be self lubricating so as to reduce friction and therefore heat during the high rpm drilling action, and have sufficient structural integrity to prevent rapid deterioration if drilling is affected outside of true alignment with the core hole. It is also design feature that the guide member can be rotated into four different orientations and used effectively; this allows the user to alter the orientation if wear at any particular point becomes too severe.
- the square shape of the guide members prevents them from rotating in the head as torque is applied by the drillbit.
- the ability to drill at an angle is provided by guide members with an appropriately angled core holes e.g. at 15° or 30° to the axis of the guide member.
- the main body of the tool consists of four elements: the head (1), having a holding means into which guide members are inserted; a storage rack (2)having a series of cavities where spare guide members can be stored; a single pivot handle (3), and ergonomic handle attached at the head end of the tool only; and a joining pyramid (4), the centre block with a shape approximating to a pyramid to which the handle storage block and head are all integrally moulded.
- the upper surface of the holding means (1) is annular (19), consisting of a complete inner circle (20) and a larger outer circle which is partially interrupted in the moulding that joins it to a pyramid section (21 ). On the upper surface there are raised markings similar to those found on the guide members and again at 45° angles to the compass rose (22).
- the height of the holding means is essentially the same as the height of the guide members such that the lower surfaces are flush with each other, and the disc 7 of a guide member projects somewhat from circle 20.
- the snap-fit mechanism is a method of fastening the guide members into the head element by pressing the cube upwards from the lower surface into the head element the circular upper surface of the guide member will naturally locate into the circular hole of the head.
- the square nature of the cube itself will force the guide member to locate in one of the four orientations and as the guide member is snapped entirely into the head, the ribs on the flexible plastic faces 14 will bend inwards until the rib is positioned level with the channel where it will pop into place, thus fastening it in the head.
- the mismatch of shapes i.e. the disc (11 ) in the upper surface of the guide member and its square body creates an overhang (24 - figure 6), meaning that a single cube [guide member] cannot be snapped right through the head.
- the rib and channel mechanism is therefore designed to prevent guide members dropping out of the bottom surface where the matching shapes would allow this to happen otherwise.
- the guide member storage rack (2, Figures 2,3) consists of a large rectangular body, which is a hollow in form but subdivided into separate compartments (27, a-d), the purpose of which is to store unused guide members.
- the lower surface of the storage compartment consists of a flat plane interrupted by a sequence of horseshoe shaped cutouts.
- both the upper and lower surfaces of the storage compartment consist of flat planes interrupted by a sequence of horseshoe shaped cutouts.
- the vertical dividing faces (30) of the storage compartment extend from the upper surface down to the lower surface, contacting the lower surface in between each of the cut-out shapes.
- each storage compartment 27 a similar arrangement of channels to that in the head is present in the dividing walls (32).
- the channels are present on the three compartment walls, at an equal height from the storage compartment rails to that of the rib present on the guide member from the guide member's base (31), running parallel to them.
- These channels are again complementary to the rib (15) and flexing faces (14) of the guide member so that when a guide member is pressed into the storage compartment these two elements intermesh, and the guide member is secured.
- the handle (3) is comprised of a hollow structure approximating to a cylinder, but with a degree of curvature throughout its length (35), lending itself better to a natural grip by the human hand.
- the surface of the handle features a degree of pitting and etching that creates very small scale relief which improves the gripping characteristics of the handle itself (not illustrated).
- the end of the handle nearest the head is integrally moulded into the joining pyramid (36), the other end is unrestrained, the rigidity of the plastic providing sufficient support in use.
- This unrestrained end face is not fashioned to be parallel with the end face of the storage compartment over which it hangs, but is instead deliberately angled to moderate degree (37). This facilitates the ease with which the handle can be hooked into storage locations such as the pocket or belt of the user or any form of tool racking.
- the joining pyramid (4) consists of a hollow plastic body of three triangular faces angled up to a point.
- the larger of the triangular faces (38) connects to the head component at its base (39) and has curved surfaces at its other sides (40) which join the smaller two triangles (41 ).
- a small half dome configuration (42) At the apex of the structure is a small half dome configuration (42), which has the same curvature as the handle unit moulded into it.
- a suitable structure to correspond with and therefore complete the unification of the head and storage component parts (43).
- the lower surface of the joining pyramid, attending to the head end features a similar shallow depression to that described in the storage compartment and the same rubberised gripping feature (44,45).
- Figure 8 shows the guidance device in position against a drilling surface, the user having the power drill in their right hand.
- the naturally ergonomic position to hold the guide is at 45° in the left hand, whereupon the guide markings on the upper surface of the head and guide member assume a vertical and horizontal cross. This is intended to correspond with the typical location markings on the drilling surface as potentially described by a spirit level or similar tool.
- Figure 9 demonstrates the removal of guide members from the storage compartment. From their fully recessed position, locked into the compartment, a user may remove a guide member from its snap-fit location either by pinching said member between digits, fitting into the horseshoe cut-outs; or by inserting a suitable implement into the central bore, and using that implement as a lever.
- Figure 10 shows the guide device used in conjunction with a power drill that includes an adjustable depth measurement rod. These are common among many power drills and as such, the low profile head design is deliberate in accommodating for the ongoing need to use a depth gauge in conjunction with the guiding facility.
- Both the guide members and the head element will be manufactured from a fully or semi transparent material. By doing so, sufficient light will reach a given marked surface and it will therefore be possible to place the drill-guide over the marking and still find it when using drill bits in the majority of cases. However, if the core hole is very small for a corresponding dr ⁇ lbit it is conceded that to use the new design drill guide, placement of the head over the top of a marked position may obscure it. In actual fact this issue can be circumnavigated, as shown in Figure 11 by pushing the drill bit through the guide member in position, then placing the drill bit onto the marking on the surface, with the drill in position, load can then be transferred to the guide handle which will lock into position on the drilling surface and thereafter ensure accurate drilling. Modifications
- either the joining pyramid or the integrated storage compartment may be altered by introducing a series of cut-outs into which 2 spirit levels at 90° to each other could be mounted (46 - Figure 1).
- the user may then place the lower surface of the drill guide tool either horizontally or vertically on the surface which they wish to drill into and simultaneously check the degree of levelling.
- appropriate circuitry for such a device be housed inside the joining pyramid (4).
- the sensor for which would be placed at the lower surface of the joining pyramid (47) and the on/off, mode, and sensitivity switches would be positioned at the apex of the joining pyramid (48).
- Relevant cut-outs would be made into the body or handle to house these switches and sufficient ribs built into the joining pyramid internally to secure that circuitry required for this detection function.
