Abstract:
A chuck (30) having a body (54) formed with a bore (60) having a fixed clamp segment (134) and a movable clamp segment (166) located in radial opposition. A pair of ribs (142) on fixed segment (134) and a single rib (172) on movable segment (166) extend radially inward and cooperate to clamp a shank (42). A sleeve (78) is positioned about body (54) and is movable axially relative thereto. A camming section (88) formed on an interior wall of sleeve (78) is captured between a head (124) of a pin (122) and a detent ring (132) to latch sleeve (78) in an unclamped mode. When shank (42) is inserted into bore (60), the forward end of the shank (42) engages pin (122) to move head (124) against camming section (88) which, in turn, moves section (88) past the detent ring (132). Thus, the sleeve (78) is unlatched and moved forward to compress a plurality of rollers (196) against fixed segment (134) and movable segment (166) to place sleeve (78) in a clamped mode, clamping shank (42).
Abstract:
The invention concerns a tool holder (10) for inserted tools in drill and/or hammer-driven machines, having means for rotating and axially locking a tool spindle insertable into a tool holder (11) of the machine, where the tool holder is fitted with several radially inward-projecting axial ridges (13) for rotation and at least one radially lockable clamp on the tool holder (10) for locking purposes. In order to accept tool spindles of two groove spindle systems with different outside diameters, on the holder drilling (12) there are two opposite, radially inwardly directed axial ridges (13) which are radially guided and especially spring-loaded to be released outwards, where the axial ridges (13) engage in corresponding grooves (20) in the tool spindle (19) so as to rotate the tool.
Abstract:
A body (52) of a chuck (30) has an axial opening (34) and three spaced radial slots (58) which receive locking fingers (68) extending radially inward from a circular band (66) located outside of, and rotatably on body (52). Band (66) and locking fingers (68) form a latching unit (64). A spring (70) is attached to latching unit (64) and to body (52) and normally urges each of the locking fingers (68) against one end of respective slots (58). A bit (36) with a shank (38) has axial grooves (42) which extend through a free end of shank (58). A transaxial groove (50) is located at a prescribed distance from the free end of shank (38). Slanted surfaces (44) on the free end of shank (38), inserted into opening (34), engage and cam locking fingers (68) into alignment with axial grooves (42), which allows shank (38) to be inserted further. Locking fingers (68) are prevented from returning to their original position until fingers (68) are aligned with, and biased into, transaxial grooves (50) to lock shank (38) with chuck (30).
Abstract:
A chuck (10) includes a driver (34) disposed on a chuck body (16) and in engagement with the jaws (18) so that at least one of rotation and axial movement of the driver (34) with respect to the body (16) opens or closes the jaws (18). A first detent is disposed in the body (16) in communication with the jaws (18). At least one of the jaws (18) defines a catch (108) at a predetermined position so that the catch (108) engages the first detent (104) when the jaws are at a predetermined position on the body (16) with respect to a chuck bore (24). A second detent (78) is pivotally attached to body (16) and locks a tool shank (102) into the bore (24) upon insertion of the shank (102).
Abstract:
A chuck (40) includes a body (42) having angularly space ribs (166, 168, 170) in a forward cylindrical opening (48) thereof. A locking element (236) is movable within a passage (180) of the body (42), and is formed with a portion (242) which is extendable from the passage (180), through an inboard peak surface (172) of the rib (166) and into the opening (48). An actuator (44) is coupled to the locking element (236) and is biased by a spring (250) to urge normally the portion (242) of the locking element (236) into the opening (48). A bit (62) is formed with a shank (96) with three grooves (100, 102, 104), having pockets (114) formed in their bases, extending axially to a free end (112) thereof. The bit (62) can be manually inserted into the opening (48) of the chuck (40) such that the grooves (100, 102, 104) are located drivingly over at least portions of the ribs (166, 168, 170), respectively. The portion (242) of the locking element (236) is located biasingly within the pocket (114) to lock the bit (62) with the chuck (40).
Abstract:
A latch and catch arrangement is disclosed, whereby a sleeve supporting a flexible hinge is oriented over a bearing in guide. Said bearing in guide moves upward when a tool is inserted into a tool socket, and the flexible hinge, properly oriented by the alignment catch/latch, keeps the bearing in the tool socket while allowing necessary movement to insert and remove a tool.
