DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

(10) FIG. 1 shows a plan view of a handheld device 1 for use in tissue treatment in accordance with the invention, for example for use in in-vivo tissue treatment.

(11) FIGS. 1 and 2 show a first embodiment of the tool 1 as claimed in the invention, having a shank 9. The tool 1 has a tool axis A. The tool axis A is arranged centrally in the shank 9. The tool 1 has a free end at the front in a direction of advance V. Located at the free end is the first portion 2 of the tool 1. There is at least one cutting portion 4 arranged in the first portion 2. Here, the cutting portion 4 has a cutting bevel 60, having a length 1.sub.s. Following the first portion 2, there is a second portion 3. The cutting portions 4 are designed as secondary cutting portions, which here extend parallel to the tool axis. No forming ridges that are capable of widening a drilled hole B are realized in the first portion 2.

(12) Realized here, however, are forming bevels 62, having a length 1.sub.F, which extend beyond the second portion 2. Here, the length ls is less than the length 1.sub.F. Realized in the second portion 3, parallel to the secondary cutting portions 4, are forming ridges 8 that, in this embodiment, likewise extend parallel to the tool axis A. In a first region 30 of the second portion 3, the forming ridge 8 is at a greater distance from the tool axis A than in the second region 31. The distance of the forming ridge 8 from the tool axis A in the first region 31 corresponds to the so-called forming diameter D.sub.F, which is greater than the so-called cutting diameter D.sub.S. In the second region 31, the forming ridge may have a surface that is inclined in relation to the tool axis A, such that a clearance angle β is produced. It can be seen from FIG. 2 that there are respectively four forming ridges 8 and four secondary cutting portions 4 arranged uniformly and alternately on the tool 1. In this embodiment, an internal coolant supply channel 20 is routed centrally, parallel to the tool axis A.

(13) Furthermore, this embodiment has oil grooves 22, each running on a back of the secondary cutting portion 4, parallel to the secondary cutting portion 4 and the forming ridge 8. Arranged before the secondary cutting in the direction of rotation, in each case between a secondary cutting portion 4 and a forming ridge 8 and running parallel to them, is a chip groove 24. A ridge 26, which has a clearance angle α opening toward an oil groove 22, runs behind the secondary cutting portion in the direction of rotation. In the embodiment shown, the oil groove 22 has a lesser depth than the chip groove 24.

(14) The tool 1 in the first embodiment is expediently inserted into a drilled pilot hole. When the tool 1 rotates in the direction of advance, the hole is first cut open, by means of the first portion 2, by chip cutting by the cutting portion 4, and then the drilled hole B is widened without chip cutting in the second portion 3, by means of the forming ridge 8, in particular the region of the forming ridge 8 denoted by 8a, which has a distance from the tool axis A that in magnitude is half the forming diameter D.sub.F. The cutting portions 4 that extend in the second portion 3 may be functionless. This is the case, in particular, if they have a radial distance from the tool axis A that is less than half of the forming diameter D.sub.F. Alternatively, they may also be designed such that the drilled hole B is cut open further in the second portion 3, by means of the cutting portion 4. In this embodiment, the distance of the cutting edge of the cutting portion 4 from the tool axis A must be selected such that only already compressed material in the drilled-hole wall is removed by chip cutting.

(15) FIGS. 3 and 4 show a second embodiment of a tool as claimed in the invention. In this embodiment, the first portion 2 additionally has a primary cutting portion 5, which is arranged in a front region of the first portion 2 in the direction of advance V. Realized in the second portion 3, parallel to the tool axis, are a secondary cutting portion 4, a forming ridge 8, the chip groove 24 and an oil groove 22. The chip groove 24 is realized along the entire secondary cutting portion 4, whereas the oil groove 22 is realized substantially only in the region of the forming ridge 8. In a front region, the forming ridge 8 has a radial distance from the tool axis A that corresponds to half the forming diameter D.sub.F. In a region that is behind it in the direction of advance V, the forming ridge 8 is realized with a clearance angle β. This region is denoted by 8b.

(16) The second embodiment additionally has a third region 40, which is behind the second region 3 in the direction of advance V. The third region 40 comprises the secondary cutting portions 4 and the chip grooves 24, as well as the oil grooves 22. As represented, in particular, in FIG. 4, the tool 1 is rotationally symmetrical with respect to the tool axis A, there being a four-fold axis of symmetry present in this design. That is to say four cutting portions and four forming ridges 8 are each arranged with a 90° interval. However, a greater or lesser number of cutting portions and/or forming ridges 8, or a different angular arrangement, is possible.

(17) In the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, the first portion 2 has three sub-regions: a conical first sub-region 50, a cylindrical second sub-region 51, having a first diameter D.sub.1, and a third sub-region 52, which comprises a widening of the diameter of the tool 1 and which adjoins the second portion 3. The cutting bevel 60 and the forming bevel 62 are in the sub-region 52. The tool 1 of the second embodiment is suitable for working without separate pilot-hole drilling, or in the case of a drilled pilot hole having a diameter that is significantly less than the first diameter D.sub.1.

(18) The third portion 40 expediently has a diameter that is greater than the forming diameter D.sub.F, and that is selected such that only already compressed material in the drilled-hole wall is removed by chip cutting. It is also possible, however, for the diameter of the portion 40 to be greater than the diameter of the already compressed material. In this case, the third portion expediently likewise comprises a forming ridge 8, which further compresses the region of the new drilled-hole wall. The secondary cutting portion 4 in the third portion may be provided with a bevel, in a rear region of the secondary cutting portion. Such a tool may be used, for example, in combination with a drilled hole B that has already been pre-drilled in a stepped manner, as represented in FIG. 7.

(19) FIGS. 5 and 6 show views of a third embodiment of the tool as claimed in the invention. The represented tool is based on the second design. In contrast, the tool of the third embodiment has only three cutting portions 4 and three forming ridges 8. Both the forming ridges and the cutting portions are wound helically around the tool axis. However, a greater or lesser number of cutting portions and/or forming ridges, or a different angular arrangement, is possible.

(20) FIG. 8 shows, by way of example, a tool 1 as claimed in the first embodiment, during drilling of a drilled hole B in a workpiece 10. The workpiece 10 has pores 11. The pores 11 are first cut open by means of the cutting portion, in particular the secondary cutting portion 4 in the first portion 2 of the tool 1. The wall of the drilled hole is then widened radially, by plastic deformation, by the second portion 3, by means of a forming tooth 7. The wall of the drilled hole is thereby smoothed. If a diameter of the second portion is appropriately matched to the pore size, the bore wall is pore-free and smooth, as shown.
