Abstract
A cutter bit assembly is composed of a carrier or holder secured or integral with a coal plough and a cutter part detachably secured to the holder. The holder has a head piece with opposite plane faces extending transversally to the cutting direction. A bore in the head piece opens to these faces and extends parallel to the cutting direction. The cutter part has a plane face engageable on one of the transverse faces of the head piece and a projection and recess on these engageable faces prevents rotation of the cutter part. A threaded member either integral with or separate from the cutter part extends through the bore in the head piece and receives a nut bearing on the other of the transverse faces and used to detachably secure the cutter part to the head piece.

In a coal plough having a pocket for receiving the holder of a cutter bit assembly, the improvement comprising a cutter bit assembly having a cutter part and a holder part, the holder part having a base which is insertable into the pocket of the coal plough, and a headpiece, an elongate threaded member extending from the cutter part through the headpiece of the holder part in a direction substantially parallel to the intended cutting direction, a nut engaging on the threaded member to detachably secure the cutter part to the holder part, engaging faces on the headpiece and the cutter part which extend substantially perpendicularly to the intended cutting direction, and at least one interengaging projection and recess between the headpiece and the cutter part to secure the cutter part against rotation about the axis of the threaded member.
A cutter bit assembly for a coal plough;
- said assembly comprising a cutter part and a holder part, the holder part having a base, which is insertable into a complementary pocket provided in the coal plough, and a headpiece, an elongate threaded member extending from the cutter part through the headpiece of the holder part in a direction substantially paralllel to the intended cutting direction, a nut engaging on the threaded member to detachably secure the cutter part to the holder part, engaging faces on the headpiece and the cutter part which extend substantially perpendicularly to the intended cutting direction, and at least one interengaging projection and recess between the headpiece and the cutter part to secure the cutter part against rotation about the axis of the threaded member, wherein the threaded member has a smooth circular shank closely fitting in a through bore in the headpiece of the holder part, wherein the cutter part is wedge shaped with inclined cutting edges meeting at a juncture zone and the threaded member is located in a position which is closer in distance to a terminal surface of the cutter part opposite to said juncture zone than the distance from the threaded member to the juncture zone, and wherein the headpiece of the holder part has a first face forming one of the interengaging faces and a second face opposite said first face, the first and second faces being pierced by the bore receiving the threaded member with the nut bearing on the second face.
