  • Patent number: 9644686
    Abstract: In an interface arrangement between a first component group supporting a tool holder and a second component group supporting a machining element in a central opening for releasably accommodating the first component group, a shift lever element provided with engagement members is disposed rotatably on the second component group and provided with engagement and release elements for releasably retaining the first component group in the central opening of the second component group so as to permit a rapid exchange of the first component group by another group with a new tool.
