1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to the general area of construction, using power tools and in particular, the use of a power drill on concrete, concrete block, stone, masonry, brick or aggregate. Such materials are heavy, dense and non-uniform in composition. Certain areas within are often harder and more difficult to drill through than others. When a rotating drill encounters this discontinuity it is often pushed laterally causing the drill to “walk” or skid thereby deforming an otherwise cylindrical hole. The hole becomes unusable and the user must take corrective measures. This may involve using a larger part in the hole, filling and re-drilling the hole or finding a new location. In any event, quality, productivity and timeliness suffer. The present invention attempts to remedy all cases of drill walk by using pressure pins with sharp points, high compression, short stroke springs to grip the textured surface of said materials.
2. Prior Art
Shimma et al., discloses an invention to provide an effective technique to alleviate vibration in the electric hammer drill. According to the invention, a representative electric hammer drill is provided with a body, a motor, a striker, a cylinder, a first and second power transmitting mechanisms, a power switching mechanism, a mode changing mechanism and a coupling mechanism. The mode changing mechanism is disposed on the upper surface of the body and can change between hammer-drill mode and hammer mode. The coupling mechanism is disposed between the mode changing mechanism and the power switching mechanism. The coupling mechanism extends along the peripheral surface of the cylinder and transmits the mode changing movement of the mode changing mechanism to the power switching mechanism by moving in the longitudinal direction of the cylinder. Because the mode changing mechanism is disposed on the upper surface of the body and the coupling mechanism extends along the peripheral surface of the cylinder to move in the longitudinal direction of the cylinder, the center of gravity of the electric hammer drill is positioned nearer to the axis of the cylinder, compared with the known art in which the components for the switching the operation modes are centralized in one area. As a result, operating vibration of the electric hammer drill is effectively alleviated.

Watanabe, et al. discloses an electric hammer drill including a vacuum dust collecting device for collecting dust from an area of an article being drilled by a drill bit wherein a hose extending from a body of the hammer drill is directly connected to an end of a movable first pipe which is slidably received in a stationary second pipe. A fan for transporting the dust by vacuum is fixed on a shaft extending across a dust collecting chamber in the body. The shaft is coaxial with, and releasably coupled with, an armature shaft of a motor. With this releasable coupling, the armature shaft is relatively short and unlikely to bend or flex, so that vibration produced during a drilling operation is small. During the drilling operation, the first pipe slides back and forth along the second pipe as a suction hood moves in a direction opposite to the direction of movement of the drill bit. Since a sliding portion between the first and second pipes is separated by the hose from a path of conveyance of the dust, the first pipe and the hood connected thereto always move smoothly relative to the drill bit.
Sheen discloses an invention that relates to an electric drill with speed and torque control and in particular to one which utilizes a single adjuster ring to control output speed and torque. When the adjuster ring is turned, the transmission axle will engage with another gear thereby changing the output speed.

A spiral winding is longitudinally about the drill-stem member for conveying drilled out earth up to a surface of the earth when the drill-stem member is rotated into the earth, whereby the drill-stem member is an auger. At least one longitudinal surface portion of the drill-stem member is an electrical insulator that extends inwardly of the surface portion at least part of a radius of the drill-stem member. At least one measuring electrode is embedded in the electrical insulator. A connecting arrangement is in the drill-stem member for connecting the measuring electrode to electric operation and measuring equipment, whereby the auger is also an electrically logging sonde.
Hayes discloses a dielectric cover that is detachably coupled, in enveloping fashion, about the motor casing portion of an electric hand drill of pistol form with a front portion extending beyond the drill shaft projecting from the front end of the drill casing. The cover acts as a torque tube to support a right angle drive reduction gear mechanism which terminates in a drive wheel rotating about an axis perpendicular to the drill shaft axis and within a friction drive mechanism, completed by spring biased idler wheel pressing sidewise against the drive wheel. Metal blocks mounted to the cover connect to one side of a DC source and mount a wire guide for guiding a thin wire first electrode into contact with and between the drive wheel and the idler wheel. The wire electrode which is frictionally pulled from a spool borne by the cover feeds through a conductor tube of an electrode nozzle assembly. The conductor tube receives an inert shielding gas which flows about the thin wire first electrode and the arc. The variable speed drill uses the trigger mechanism to control wire electrode feed speed and thus the amperage of the weld arc, with work piece functioning as the second electrode. Owing to the inherently stable arc as derived from storage batteries, arc and drive power sources require no stabilizing interlock and may thus be entirely separate or identical, as convenience may dictate, without affecting either arc or drive either beneficially or adversely

Fallon discloses an invention that relates to a case for displaying and storing electric tools such as a mini-drill and the case also contains a shelf (38) for displaying and supporting accessories (14) usable with the mini-drill (12), together with a compartment on the back of the case for receiving a source of electric energy such as rechargeable or non-rechargeable batteries suitable for feeding electric power to the mini-drill.
No examples of prior art address the problem of drill walk. See Table 1 for a summary of prior art. Many shortcomings are resolved and many enhancements are presented but none address the issue of the drill skidding sideways when encountering an unusually hard discontinuity within the work piece. Ordinary drills offer portability, low weight, high torque, reversibility and long life, both corded and battery. Hammer drills are very effective in using high frequency shock in drilling hard, dense material. But no drill nor drill attachment on the market offers an antiskid feature as does the present invention.
Objects and advantages of the present invention are:
In accordance with the present invention a means and method for holding a rotating drill bit in a precise location on a hard, textured work surface
FIG. 1—Attachment at rest
FIG. 2—Attachment in compression
FIG. 3—Pin Ring
FIG. 4—Drill Mount
FIG. 5—Spring Rod Assembly
FIG. 6—Pressure Pin
FIG. 7—Height Adjuster Assembly
FIG. 8—Height Adjuster Mount
FIG. 9—Height Adjuster Slide
The user may operate the Anti-skid attachment in the following manner:
4. Force drill towards work surface until compression springs 10 are engaged and drill point is in contact with desired location.
7. Relax pressure on the power trigger and withdraw drill bit from work piece.
A means for adjusting the position of the attachment so that the compression pins are located flush with or slightly ahead of the drill bit so as to be under compression before the drill bit makes contact with the work surface thereby assuring longitudinal grip on the work surface before the drill bit can encounter any material that may cause a lateral offset.
None
The present invention addresses the often seen problem in construction and home improvement of drill holes in block or cement being ruined by deflection of the drill bit during the drilling operation. Usually this happens when the drill bit hits an area of particular hardness. It is impossible to predict. The remedies are often re-work of some sort, either filling the hole and drilling over, starting a new hole in a different location or accepting the oversized hole and upsizing the hardware intended for it. In build-to-print situations this requires a field red line to the drawing and new revision issued. In all cases, the fix is time consuming and costly. Two features of the problem give rise to the present invention; 1) the surfaces involved are always textured enabling the grip of hardened points with minimum pressure and 2) lateral stability is only required for the first inch and a half of drilling. After that there is too much drill bit in the hole to be pushed sideways
The present invention is to be used whenever there is suspicion that drill walk may occur. It mounts to the drill easily with one wing screw and in the option with the height adjuster, height is easily set to match drill length by sliding the assembly to the required position and tightening the second wing screw. Dimensions can be held to a minimum to avoid interference with the structure or other objects near the drill hole location. No exceptional parts or processes are required to manufacture. Operation is intuitive. Since mounting and dismounting are essentially a one step process, one unit may be shared at a work site. Costs can be held to a level that makes the unit attractive to both contractor and homeowner alike
