Drilling tool with drill and receiving element

A drilling tool comprising an axially elongated drill having a leading or cutting end and a trailing end, the leading end effecting the cutting or drilling action when it is placed against the material to be drilled and the trailing end being insertable into the retainer on a drilling device such as a drill hammer or the like, said drill having an axially extending cutting portion extending from its leading end toward its trailing end and an axially extending shank portion extending from its trailing end toward its leading end, an axially extending tubular shaped receiving member laterally encircling at least a part of said shank portion, said receiving member having an inner surface and an outer surface, said shank portion having an axially extending outer surface facing toward the inner surface on said receiving part, wherein the improvement comprises that the trailing end of said shank portion projects outwardly from the trailing end of said receiving member, a first axially extending part of the inner surface of said receiving part and a first axially extending part of the outer surface of said shank portion are disposed in engagement and a second axially extending part of the inner surface of said receiving part and a second axially extending part of the outer surface of said shank portion are disposed in spaced relation forming therebetween at least one axially extending passageway opening between the trailing end of said shank portion and the trailing end of said cutting portion, at least one of the first part of the inner surface of said receiving part and the first part of the outer surface of said shank portion comprises a projection extending into contact with the first part of the surface it faces and the first part of the surface it faces having a recess into which the projection seats, a plurality of said projections form the first part of the inner surface of said receiving port with said projections disposed in spaced relation and extending radially relative to the axis of said shank portion into recesses in said shank portion, and said projections being elastically deflectable so that under a certain torque said projections are deflected out of the recesses permitting the receiving part to rotate relative to the shank portion.
