Abstract

A circular-shank tool including a shank held in a bore of a tool holder by a locking sleeve, the shank being rotatably held in the locking sleeve. The locking sleeve has one or more retaining elements that project inwards and engage in a peripheral groove in the shank of the tool, thus indisplaceably securing the locking sleeve in an axial direction on the shank of the tool. Because the locking sleeve is mirror-symmetrical to the central transversal plane, the locking sleeve can be fixed to the shank in a position that is rotated through 180°.

10. The round shank chisel in accordance with claim 9 , wherein the holding elements ( 16 , 17 , 18 ) are inwardly punched or pressed so far that the convex outer sections located opposite the concave centering sections ( 22 ) are spaced apart from the inner wall of the clamping sleeve ( 10 ), and the depth of the circumferential groove ( 39 ) in the shank ( 31 ) of the round shank chisel ( 30 ) has dimensions so that with the clamping sleeve ( 10 ) braced in a bore ( 41 ) of a chisel holder ( 40 ), the concave centering sections ( 22 ) of the holding elements ( 16 , 17 , 18 ) rest against or are a short distance from the groove bottom of the circumferential groove ( 39 ).

11. The round shank chisel in accordance with claim 8 , wherein the front face ( 12 ) of the clamping sleeve ( 10 ) facing a chisel tip ( 37 ) is spaced apart from a conical introduction section ( 42 ) of the bore ( 41 ) in a chisel holder ( 40 ) which receives a conical shoulder ( 32 ) of a chisel head ( 36 ) or a centering shoulder of a wear disk arranged between the chisel holder ( 40 ) and the chisel head ( 36 ).

12. The round shank chisel in accordance with claim 1 , wherein outer edges ( 14 , 15 ) at both front faces ( 12 , 13 ) of the clamping sleeve ( 10 ) are slanted.
