  • Patent number: 6860489
    Abstract: A chuck includes a socket, an elastic detent and a sleeve. The socket includes a hole defined axially therein, an upper slot cut therein and a lower slot cut therein. The elastic detent includes an upper transverse section and a lower transverse section. The elastic detent is mounted on the socket so that the upper transverse section of the elastic detent enters the hole through the upper slot and that the lower transverse section of the elastic detent enters the hole through the lower slot. The sleeve includes an annular flange formed on an internal face. The sleeve can be moved on the socket so that the annular flange can move the upper and lower transverse sections from the hole along the upper and lower slots, respectively.

  • Publication number: 20040104545
    Abstract: Here is disclosed a connector for connecting a tool with a tool bit including a polygonal portion formed thereon and an annular groove defined therein. The connector includes a socket, a detent, a sleeve and a positioning device. The socket includes a polygonal hole axially extending in an end thereof, a space in communication with the polygonal hole and an aperture extending through the socket in a radial direction. The detent is received in the aperture. The sleeve includes a recess defined in an internal face. The sleeve is rotationally mounted on the socket between an unlocking position and a locking position. In the unlocking position, the recess is aligned with the aperture so as to receive a portion of the detent in order to allow complete removal of the detent from the space, thus allowing insertion of the polygonal portion into the polygonal hole.
