Abstract

A broken bolt extractor is disclosed having a counter clockwise cutting tip section for drilling a bore into a broken bolt, a tap section having counter clockwise orientated threads, an intermediate shaft section, a chuck end portion, and a channel formed in the tip section, the tap section, and the shaft section.

Claims (36)

1. A broken bolt extractor comprising:

a counter clockwise cutting tip section for drilling a bore into a broken bolt;

a tap section having counter clockwise orientated threads;

an intermediate shaft section;

a chuck end portion; and

a channel formed in the tip section, the tap section, and the intermediate shaft section.

2. The broken bolt extractor of claim 1 wherein the broken bolt extractor is constructed of a material such as high carbon steel, high speed steel, cobalt steel alloys, tungsten carbide, or polycrystalline diamond.

3. The broken bolt extractor of claim 1 wherein the intermediate shaft section is straight.

4. The broken bolt extractor of claim 1 wherein the chuck end portion has four faces for being gripped by a tool for rotating the extractor.

5. The broken bolt extractor of claim 1 wherein the channel is in the form of a spiral that begins in the intermediate shaft section and ends in the cutting tip section.

6. The broken bolt extractor of claim 1 wherein the tap section has partial threads for cutting into a broken bolt and the channel spirals through the tap section forming the partial threads of the tap section.

7. The broken bolt extractor of claim 1 wherein the intermediate shaft section has a length that extends a large portion of the extractor.

8. A broken bolt extractor comprising:

a counter clockwise cutting tip section for drilling a bore into a broken bolt;

a tap section having counter clockwise orientated threads;

an intermediate shaft section;

a chuck end portion;

a first channel formed in the tip section, the tap section, and the intermediate shaft section; and

a second channel formed in the tip section, the tap section, and the intermediate shaft section with the second channel formed in the extractor opposite to the first channel.

9. The broken bolt extractor of claim 8 wherein the broken bolt extractor is constructed of a material such as high carbon steel, high speed steel, cobalt steel alloys, tungsten carbide, or polycrystalline diamond.

10. The broken bolt extractor of claim 8 wherein the intermediate shaft section is straight.

11. The broken bolt extractor of claim 8 wherein the chuck end portion has four faces for being gripped by a tool for rotating the extractor.

12. The broken bolt extractor of claim 8 wherein the first channel is in the form of a spiral that begins in the intermediate shaft section and ends in the cutting tip section.

13. The broken bolt extractor of claim 8 wherein the second channel is in the form of a spiral that begins in the intermediate shaft section and ends in the cutting tip section.

14. The broken bolt extractor of claim 8 wherein the tap section has partial threads for cutting into a broken bolt and the first channel spirals through the tap section forming the partial threads of the tap section.

15. The broken bolt extractor of claim 8 wherein the tap section has partial threads for cutting into a broken bolt and the second channel spirals through the tap section forming the partial threads of the tap section.

16. A broken bolt extractor comprising:

a counter clockwise cutting tip section for drilling a bore into a broken bolt;

a tap section having threads for tapping into a broken bolt with the threads being counter clockwise orientated;

an intermediate shaft section;

a chuck end portion for attachment to a tool for rotating the extractor; and

a channel formed in the tip section, the tap section, and the intermediate shaft section, the channel spirals from the tip section, through the tap section, and ending in the intermediate shaft section, the channel for removing any debris from the tip section and the tap section.

17. The broken bolt extractor of claim 16 wherein the chuck end portion has four faces for being gripped by a tool for rotating the extractor.

18. The broken bolt extractor of claim 16 wherein the intermediate shaft section is straight.

19. The broken bolt extractor of claim 16 wherein the broken bolt extractor is constructed of a material such as high carbon steel, high speed steel, cobalt steel alloys, tungsten carbide, or polycrystalline diamond.

20. The broken bolt extractor of claim 16 wherein the broken bolt extractor is coated with black oxide, titanium nitride, titanium aluminum nitride, titanium carbon nitride, or zirconium nitride.
