Abstract
A device for drilling an undercut in a borehole formed into a substrate includes a housing (1) containing a guide sleeve (2) with a bushing (4) arranged eccentrically within and rotatable relative to the guide sleeve. A torsion spring (6) is located between the guide sleeve and the bushing and is stressed when the bushing rotates relative to the sleeve. A drive shaft (8) with a cutter head (9) at one end is supported in the bushing and can be moved from a centered position into an eccentric position relative to the guide sleeve for forming the undercut. The rotational drive of the bushing (4) is afforded by the drive shaft (8) via an eccentric gear train. Furthermore, the gear train includes an internal ring gear (23) couplable to a gear train housing (19) by a wrap-around spring (31). In its stressed condition, the spring (31) can be released from outside the device so that the bushing (4) can be rotated by means of the eccentric gear train including the internal ring gear (23), gear wheels (20, 21) and an additional ring gear (24).
