Abstract

The invention relates to a bit holder having an insertion projection and having a bore-shaped bit receptacle that has a longitudinal center axis, a convexly curved support surface being provided on a base part. A bit holder of this kind can be implemented in compact and stable fashion in particular by the fact that the longitudinal center axis of the bit receptacle intersects the support surface.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A tool apparatus, comprising:
a base part having a convexly curved support surface having a spherical surface contour;
an insertion projection extending from the base part; and
a bit longitudinal center axis defined in the base part, the bit longitudinal center axis intersecting the support surface.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein:
the insertion projection is attached to the base part in an attachment region.

3. The apparatus of claim 2 , wherein:
the attachment region has a circumferential groove defined therein.

4. The apparatus of claim 3 , further comprising:
a sealing element received in the circumferential groove.

5. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein:
the spherical surface contour of the support surface has a radius of curvature of greater than or equal to 50 mm.

6. The apparatus of claim 5 , wherein:
the radius of curvature is in a range of from 70 mm to 90 mm.

7. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein:
the insertion projection has an insertion projection longitudinal center axis;
the spherical surface contour is curved about a center point; and
an offset of the insertion projection longitudinal center axis with respect to the center point of the spherical surface contour is in a range of from 1 mm to 20 mm.

8. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein:
the base part includes a front-side skirt, and the support surface at least locally forms an underside of the skirt.

9. The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising:
side parts laterally adjacent to the base part; and
wherein the support surface at least locally forms undersides of the side parts.

10. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein:
the insertion projection includes a larger cross-section region and a smaller cross-section region, the larger cross-section region being located closer to the support surface than is the smaller cross-section region.

11. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein:
the bit longitudinal center axis is defined by a bit receptacle, and the bit receptacle includes a discharge opening extending transversely to the bit longitudinal central axis and opening the bit receptacle laterally to an environment, the discharge opening also being open toward the support surface.

12. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein:
the insertion projection has a circular cross-section; and
at least one of the insertion projection and the base part comprises a twist preventer in the form of a projection or a receptacle.

13. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein:
the insertion projection has a circular cross-section; and
a flattened area is formed on the insertion projection to prevent twisting of the apparatus.

14. The apparatus bit holder of claim 13 , wherein:
the insertion projection has a larger cross-section portion and a smaller cross-section portion; and
the flattened area is formed on at least one of the larger cross-section portion and the smaller cross-section portion.

15. The apparatus of claim 1 , in a combination further comprising:
a bottom part having a concave counter-surface configured to support the convexly curved support surface of the tool apparatus, the bottom part having an insertion receptacle receiving the insertion projection of the tool apparatus, the insertion receptacle intersecting the counter-surface.

16. The combination of claim 15 , further comprising:
a seal disposed around the insertion projection and sealing between the tool apparatus and the bottom part around an entrance opening of the insertion receptacle.

17. The combination of claim 15 , wherein:
the counter-surface is breached by a rearward opening.

18. The combination of claim 17 , wherein:
the counter-surface transitions, facing away from the counter-surface, into a recess of enlarged cross-section.

19. The combination of claim 17 , wherein:
the bottom part has a threaded receptacle defined therein, the threaded receptacle opening into the insertion receptacle, the threaded receptacle having an entrance; and
the rearward opening is communicated with the entrance of the threaded receptacle.

20. A tool bottom part for receiving a tool apparatus, the bottom part comprising:
a spherically concave counter-surface for supporting the tool apparatus;
an insertion receptacle having an entrance opening defined in the counter-surface; and
a threaded receptacle extending transversely to the insertion receptacle and opening into the insertion receptacle.

21. The tool bottom part of claim 20 , wherein:
a cross-section of the insertion receptacle is enlarged adjacent the entrance opening to define a seal receptacle.

22. The tool bottom part of claim 20 , wherein:
the counter-surface is breached by a rearward opening.

23. The tool bottom part of claim 22 , wherein:
the counter-surface transitions, facing away from the counter-surface, into a recess of enlarged cross-section.

24. The tool bottom part of claim 22 , wherein:
the threaded receptacle has an entrance; and
the rearward opening is communicated with the entrance of the threaded receptacle.
