Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
148 words
A spade-type bit comprising: (a) a body defined by two parallel broad surfaces and two narrow side surfaces extending between said two broad surfaces, (b) a spindle extending from a rearward end of said body, (c) a point extending from a forward end of said body, said point being defined by said two broad surfaces and by two second side surfaces, said second side surfaces converging forwardly and intersecting to form a forward edge, and (d) a groove formed in one of said broad surfaces along said point and extending generally parallel to one of said second side surfaces and intersecting the other one of said second side surfaces, an edge of said one second side surface adjacent said groove being maintained, said groove forming a positive rake angle, said groove gradually increasing substantially uniformly in depth and width toward said other one of said side second surfaces.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
148 words
A spade-type bit comprising: (a) a body defined by two parallel broad surfaces and two narrow side surfaces extending between said two broad surfaces, (b) a spindle extending from a rearward end of said body, (c) a point extending from a forward end of said body, said point being defined by said two broad surfaces and by two second side surfaces, said second side surfaces converging forwardly and intersecting to form a forward edge, and (d) a groove formed in one of said broad surfaces along said point and extending generally parallel to one of said second side surfaces and intersecting the other one of said second side surfaces, an edge of said one second side surface adjacent said groove being maintained, said groove forming a positive rake angle, said groove gradually increasing substantially uniformly in depth and width toward said other one of said side second surfaces.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
41 words

Claim 4
Dependent Claim
23 words
The spade-type bit as recited in claim 2 wherein said two plane surfaces of said groove are joined by a round concave fillet.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
24 words
The spade-type bit as recited in claim 1 wherein the slope of said groove is approximately 6° with respect to said one broad surface.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
