Abstract
The adapter for use with a core bit and auger motor includes an adapter and a water jacket. The adapter may adapt a motor shaft of an auger motor to drive a core bit in order to cut concrete. The water jacket may supply water to the adapter such that the water may flow down through the center of the adapter and into the core bit. The water may cool the core bit, may reduce airborne dust, may wash debris away from the hole being cut, or any combination thereof. The water jacket May rotationally couple to the adapter such that the water jacket remains stationary while the adapter turns. As a non-limiting example, the auger motor may be mounted on a boom of a front end loader such as a skid steer loader.
Claims19
An adapter system for use with a core bit and auger motor comprising:
- an adapter and a water jacket;
- wherein the adapter adapts a motor shaft of the auger motor to drive the core bit to cut concrete;
- wherein the water jacket supplies water to the adapter such that the water flows down through the center of the adapter and into the core bit;
- wherein the water cools the core bit, reduces airborne dust, washes debris away from the hole being cut, or any combination thereof;
- wherein the water jacket rotationally couples to the adapter such that the water jacket remains stationary while the adapter turns;
- wherein the adapter is further defined with an auger motor coupler, which is configured to couple to the motor shaft of the auger motor such that rotation of the motor shaft causes rotation of the adapter;
- wherein the auger motor coupler is cylindrical and comprises a cylindrical cavity within the auger motor coupler;
- wherein the cylindrical cavity is axially aligned at a center of the auger motor coupler and is open at a motor shaft aperture located at the top of the auger motor coupler to expose the cylindrical cavity.
