Abstract
A guide device comprising a hollow body configured to receive a drill bit, the hollow body having a first end; a second end; and a continuous section intermediate the first end and the second end; an opening extending from the first end through the continuous section to the second end; and at least one aperture located on the hollow body intermediate the first and second end of the hollow body.
Claims13
A guide device comprising:
- a first end section comprising:
- an exterior surface;
- an interior surface defining an opening extending through the first end section along a central axis, the opening being sized and shaped to receive a drill bit therethrough;
- and
- a drill bit securing aperture extending between the interior surface and the exterior surface perpendicular to the central axis, the drill bit securing aperture being sized and shaped to receive a mechanical fastener for securing the first end section to the drill bit;
- a second end section comprising a hollow body having an opening extending therethrough along the central axis, the opening being sized and shaped to receive the drill bit therethrough, the second end further comprising a plurality of apertures extending perpendicular to the central axis, the plurality of apertures distributed radially about the second end section to accommodate the passage of debris therethrough;
- and
- an intermediate section comprising:
- a hollow body having a first outer diameter, wherein a first end of the hollow body comprises external screw threading;
- and
- a collar section disposed at a second end of the hollow body opposite the first end, the collar section having a second outer diameter larger than the first outer diameter;
- wherein the second end section is slidably and rotatably coupled to the first end section such that the second end section can remain stationary relative to a substrate being drilled while the first end section is rotated by a rotating drill bit secured thereto;
- and
- wherein at least a portion of the interior surface of the first end section of the guide device comprises internal screw threading, such that the second end section is rotatably and slidably securable to the first end section by inserting the intermediate section through the opening of the second end and engaging the external screw threading with the internal screw threading.

A guide device comprising:
- a hollow body having a first end, a second end, and a continuous section intermediate the first end and the second end, wherein the second end is configured to removably couple with a fixing aperture of a mountable structure, the second end comprising a locating section having a hexagonal cross-sectional profile sized and shaped to be inserted into the fixing aperture;
- an opening extending along a central axis from the first end through the continuous section to the second end, the opening configured to receive a drill bit therethrough;
- and
- at least one aperture located on the hollow body intermediate the first and second end of the hollow body, the aperture being contiguous with the opening and extending perpendicular to the central axis to accommodate the passage of debris therethrough.
