Abstract (en)

The invention relates to a release assembly and a method of forming a drilling tool for rock or overburden drilling. The release assembly (18) is arranged axially between two drilling tool components (14a, 14b). The release assembly comprises a release mechanism allowing an initial axial length (L1) to shorten (Ls) when a joint (15) of the drilling tool components (14) provided with connecting threads (20, 21) is turned in an opening direction (Ro). Then the release assembly has a decreased second axial length (L2) and friction forces in the joint decrease.
