Patent ID: 7217068

Claim:
A tool holder for cutting bodies mountable on a base holder by a clamping device, the tool holder comprising: a bearing component extending in a tool holder direction and cooperating with the base holder for receiving cutting forces through said bearing component, said bearing component having a recess completely dividing and separating said bearing component into separated first and second planar components and forming a seat to receive a projecting fitting element on the base holder, said recess being defined by walls with planar support surfaces thereon extending in different planes relative to one another and extending transversely to said planar components for transmission of shearing and torsional forces resulting from cutting forces into the fitting element, said recess being configured as a channel with two of said support surfaces forming a side of said recess and extending in non-parallel planes perpendicular to said first and second planar components, said first and second planar components and with two opposite longitudinal ends opening to an external environment extending in one of a common plane and in two different planes parallel to one another.
