Abstract

To permit easy coupling and uncoupling of a concrete or rock circular boring or milling tool element (14, 17), two coupling parts (1, 2) are provided, a first coupling part (1) being formed with a recess (7) of non-circular cross-sectional shape, for example of approximate four-leaf clover shape, extending inwardly from an end face (11) of the first part; the second part (2) has a projection (20) of non-circular cross-sectional shape, matching the cross-sectional shape of the recess, and fitting therein, while being axially separable therefrom. The engagement surfaces (a, 22) of the respective first and second parts extend axially of the coupling elements. A retaining nut (3) retains the parts against each other. For centering of the parts, prior to assembly, interengaging matching centering arrangements are provided, for example by a circular ring cut into the first part ahead of the recess, the projections of the second part extending to just about the circumference of the ring to permit fitting the first and second parts together before the projection is angularly aligned with the recess to permit slipping the projection into the recess while having been preliminarily centered with respect thereto.
