Abstract: A keyless chuck for a power drill having a drive spindle projecting from the drill housing. The chuck body is fixed on and rotatable with the spindle and has a plurality of jaws mounted for movement on axes inclined with respect to the spindle axis. The collar is mounted for rotation with and with respect to said body and has a split nut connected to the jaws to move them on said axes to grip or release a tool shank when there is relative rotation between said collar and said body. A ring is splined on the housing and is spring biased toward the housing. The ring is manually movable toward the collar to bring the axially projecting lugs on the ring in engagement with lugs on the collar to retard the collar from rotating which causes relative rotation between the body and the collar when the body is rotated. Inclined faces on the lugs force the lugs apart when movement of the jaws is prevented and the lugs cause an impacting action to overcome static friction.

Abstract: A keyless tool chuck is disclosed which may be used with most power tools having standard chucks. The jaws of the chuck are displaced and retracted by controlling the rotation of a threaded collar which surrounds the jaws relative to the rotation of the tool shaft and the jaws. This rotation is controlled by displacing a plate so as to control rotation of the collar in a first embodiment. In a second embodiment, rotation of the chuck collar is controlled by a clutch means, and in a third embodiment the rotation of the chuck collar is controlled relative to the jaws by means of vanes which are inserted into a grooved cylinder attached to the chuck collar.

Abstract: In a drill chuck for securing the shank of a tool in a hand-held device, clamping jaws are mounted in a chuck member and bear radially outwardly against the conically shaped surface in a first sleeve into which the tool shank is inserted.

Abstract: In a reversible power tool, such as an electric drill, a clutch mechanism is coupled to selectively connect and disconnect a chuck jaw reciprocating means to advance and retract the jaws of a chuck or to allow the chuck jaw reciprocating means to be carried in rotation with the chuck jaws. According to the improvement the clutch mechanism is decoupled as the chuck jaws approach a position of complete retraction, despite actuation of a coupling mechanism which would otherwise prevent the chuck jaw reciprocating means and the chuck jaws from turning together in rotation. The decoupling mechanism prevents damage to the chuck which occurs in prior devices when the chuck jaws are driven longitudinally beyond the designed limit for complete chuck jaw retraction. Also, an annular workpiece holder is releasably secured to the chuck to hold a workpiece in axial alignment with the tool drive shaft to safeguard against accidental injury to the fingers of an individual operating the tool.

Abstract: Apparatus is provided for opening and closing the jaws of a chuck without the use of a key. This invention is particularly suitable for improving a standard drill chuck so that tools can be easily and rapidly changed without the use of a drill chuck key. In one embodiment of the invention, the first ring element containing a pair of dogs is slidably mounted to the collar of the drill chuck. When the drill is activated and the first ring element is in an upper position, its dogs engage opposing dogs on a stationary second ring element. Relative rotary motion is thereby achieved between the jaws and the collar of the drill chuck which, in turn, tightens the jaws about the tool. Resilient means are provided for yielding to allow the first ring element to be pushed downward by the action of the opposing dogs when the jaws have closed about the tool.

Abstract: In order to improve the holding power of a tool chuck, especially a tool chuck for use with percussion or impact drills, without the use of elastic friction elements that impede intentional opening and closing, the invention describes a tool chuck in which cooperating, preferably conical surfaces disposed respectively, on the stationary collet and the rotating structure of the chuck engage one another when the chuck is closed and clamps the inserted tool. Additional relative rotation imparted to the rotating structure with respect to the collet causes clamping forces to be applied to the inserted tool and further causes the cooperating conical surfaces to be pressed against one another, thereby generating high surface pressures which oppose the unintentional opening of the chuck even during the presence of axial percussion shocks.

Abstract: A tool chuck, especially for holding tool bits, for example twist drills, and for use with a machine tool, in particular a portable electric drill. The chuck is so constructed as to permit secure holding of the tool bit even when used in percussion drills or impact hammer drills, while at the same time providing protection for the elastic internal element which provides axial movement. The tool chuck has a core or mandrel surrounded by a hollow conical collar which includes at least two chuck jaws and the elastic member is located between the core and the collar to apply an axial force between these two parts when the chuck is closed on a tool bit while being protected against direct exposure to the impacts sustained by the chuck jaws.

Abstract: A drill chuck has a chuck body provided with jaws that are surrounded by a tightening sleeve which can be rotated on the body to tighten or loosen the jaws.
