Abstract
The invention relates to a tool head for a rotary tool. The tool head extends along, and rotates about, a rotational axis in a rotational direction during operation. The tool head is designed for replaceable fastening on a carrier shank of the rotary tool and comprises on the back thereof a coupling surface comprising a first serration having a plurality of ribs running parallel to one another and grooves running parallel to one another. The first serration comprises at least two part-serrations oriented toward one another in the rotational direction at an angle. Each part-serration having a plurality of ribs and grooves running parallel, for centering the tool head relative to the carrier shank. The invention furthermore relates to a rotary tool having such a tool head.

A tool head for a rotary tool, the tool head extending along a rotational axis and rotating about the same in a rotational direction during operation, the tool head structured for replaceable fastening on a carrier shank of the rotary tool, the tool head comprising:
- a coupling surface disposed on a back face thereof, the coupling surface comprising a first serration having a plurality of ribs and grooves,
- wherein the first serration comprises at least two part-serrations oriented toward one another in the rotational direction at an angle, each part-serration having a plurality of ribs and grooves for centering the tool head and transmitting the torque thereof relative to the carrier shank.
A rotary tool which extends along, and rotates about, a rotational axis in a rotational direction during operation, the rotary tool comprising:
- a carrier shank;
- and
- a tool head reversibly replaceably arranged on the carrier shank, the tool head including a coupling surface disposed on a back side of the tool head, the coupling surface comprising a first serration having a plurality of ribs and grooves,
- wherein the carrier shank includes a second serration designed to be complementary to the first serration,
- wherein the first serration comprises at least two part-serrations oriented toward one another in the rotational direction at an angle, each having a plurality of ribs and grooves for centering the tool head relative to the carrier shank.
