Abstract
A method of installing cable through material, for example, concrete, wood, masonry, plastic steel, or the like comprising a drill bit with a distal end having a hollow tip with an attachment mechanism for receiving the cable. The drill bit is drilled through the material, and left in place while the cable is attached to the proximal end of the drill bit. There is no need to remove the drill bit from the aperture or material to attach the cable thereto. After attachment to the drill bit, the cable is inserted through the aperture with the drill bit and removed from the drill bit after it passes through the material so it can be attached to a receiver device.
Claims3
A drill bit for installing coaxial cable and at least one wire comprising:
- a proximal end of the drill bit for engaging a drilling tool and having a hollow tip with an attachment mechanism for securing an end of a cable to the drill bit, an aperture on the attachment mechanism for receiving the coaxial cable, a shaft, and, tip, the attachment mechanism having external threads on the circumference of the hollow tip for connection to the end of the cable which includes corresponding threads on the inside circumference of a connector assembly for engaging the external threads on the hollow tip and supported conducting wire of the coaxial cable corresponding to the aperture in the hollow tip of the cable for receiving the supported conducting wire so that the drill bit, after drilling into materials forming an aperture, the end of the attached coaxial cable with the drill bit is passed through the aperture in the materials, and a distal cutting end connected to the shaft, a first aperture located in the proximal region near the proximal end of the drill bit for receiving a first wire that can be passed through the aperture in the materials.
