  • Patent number: 6345560
    Abstract: A clamping chuck comprising a shank which has two sleeve-like shank sections (5, 6), one of the sleeve-like sections (6) on an end side thereof being coordinated to a clamping section (1) for clamping into a drive member, and the other of the sleeve-like sections (5) on its end side being coordinated to a toolholder (2) for mounting a tool, in particular a screwdriver bit (18). The two sleeve-like shank sections (5, 6), by a torsion section (3) formed by a torsion member (7) coordinated to cavities of the shank sections, being twistable with respect to one another about a stop-limited angular distance (a-b), wherein the torsion section (3) is arranged between two hexagon sections of the torsion member (7), by which hexagon sections the torsion member is fitted without play into hexagon profile sections in the cavities (10, 11) of the sleeve-like shank sections (5, 6), and the torsion member continues, as one material integral piece into the clamping section formed as an insertion section (1).

  • Patent number: 6330846
    Abstract: A invention relates to a chuck having a shank which provides two shank sections (5, 6), forms a clamping section (1) at one end for clamping in place in a drive member and forms a tool mounting (2) at the other end for mounting a tool, in particular a screwdriver bit (18), having an elastic element between the clamping-side shank section (6) and the tool-mounting-side shank section (5) for permitting a stop-limited twisting capability of the clamping section relative to the tool mounting (2). To achieve a narrow type of construction, provision is made for the elastic element to be formed as a bending spring which is bendable transversely to the axis of the chuck and connects the two shank sections to one another.

  • Patent number: 6263771
    Abstract: The invention relates to a force transmission structure especially for a screwing wrench with multiple corners. The invention is configured for an inner multiple cornered mating profile especially for a screw with a six cornered inner case profile. The force transmission structure is constructed with equal multiple corners whose flanks border one another in a circumferential direction. The diameter contour line of each flank possesses two convex curvature lines which are interspaced and the interspacing area recoils between the curvature lines and connecting tangent lines, the tangent lines consisting of both crowns of the convex curvature lines. In order to transmit high levels of torque, the invention provides that the section of the curvature lines between the crowns and the multiple corners is either rectilinear of its curvature is flatter than that of the convex curvature line.

  • Patent number: 5953969
    Abstract: A screwdriver or screwdriver bit comprising a working end with radially extending engagement surfaces profiled in particular by machining or forming. A surface layer forming a working surface due to nitriting has a hardness of at least 900 HV 0.3 or 67-68 HRC and in an intermediate layer, lying between the hard surface layer and a softer region of a core of the working end, the hardness decreases with a hardness gradient of 1500 to 3000 HV 0.3/mm.

  • Patent number: 5899645
    Abstract: The invention concerns a machine tool for the bovelling of a gear, in which two topfaces are simultaneously milled, with a rotationally driven workpiece carrier and two rotationally driven mounting spindles (13) which can be placed on the workpiece in an axial direction and whose rotationally driven angle of orientation towards the workpiece axis is adjustable in order to receive a milling machine at any one time, especially face milling cutters or single-tooth fly cutters. The workpiece is alternatively clocked or rotationally driven in a continuous manner and the mounting spindles (13) can be moved on a forwards or backwards axis in synchronization with the workpiece cycle or in synchronization with the continuous rotation of the workpiece on a fixed axis. The workpiece is moved forwards in the direction of the axis and each mounting spindle (13) is provided with a slide (12), which can be moved by an axial displacement drive (15).

  • Patent number: 5704261
    Abstract: A tool, particularly a torque-transmitting tool, such as a screwdriver or a screwdriver bit, having a shaft and a working region. In order advantageously to take up peak torques with such a tool, a damping region of lower hardness or lower torsion-bar constant than the working region is provided, associated with the shaft. For this purpose, the damping region can be subsequently annealed or have a different composition of material. The latter is preferably provided in the case of a tool of sintered metal.

  • Patent number: 5695305
    Abstract: The invention relates to a feed device for machine tools with chuck arranged at the free end of a spindle, to which chuck the workpiece is fed axially through the inside of the spindle from the rear by means of compressed air from a compressed air nozzle through the spindle (1) into the chuck (2), having a tool station arranged in front of the head of the chuck and having a stop which comes in front of the head of the chuck (2) in synchronism with the machining for halting the movement of the individual workpiece (8).

  • Patent number: 5619882
    Abstract: A process for producing Phillips-head screwing tools or the like, especially in the form of bits, by cold forming from a workpiece section (W) cut to length from a profiled rod. In order to produce bits of high precision, that the workpiece section (W) which is developed at one end with a hexagon profile and adjoining it with a section with supportable front end (16) is introduced, with axial spring-loaded support, into a press tool (P), whereupon the cheek plates (51) of this press tool (P) produce the Phillips-head shape or the like by a displacement towards the center which is controlled by a conical envelope surface (55) which tapers towards the front end (16).

  • Patent number: 5601003
    Abstract: An injection-molded plastic handle for tools, particularly screwdrivers, having zones of plastic of different hardness, the harder plastic being nondeformable under the forces which occur as a result of the actuating load while the softer plastic permits slight elastic deformations, and having a centrally located receiving hollow space (5) for the tang of a tool blade (2), and, in order to obtain a development which is of optimized grippability and more advantageous in use, the central hollow space is located in a center part (6) having a profiled cover surface (11) around which a cover is injected, the depressions (8) resulting from the profiling of the cover surface (11) being filled with a softer plastic until obtaining an approximately circular cross-sectional shape.

  • Patent number: 5188378
    Abstract: A chuck for polygonal shank ends of tools, has a bushing (5) which transmits the drive force and corresponds in its cavity (8) to the polygon cross section of the shank end (32). The bushing has a window-shaped opening in which a ball (22) is arranged as pressing member which acts on the shank. Behind the bushing there is arranged an actuating sleeve (11) which is displaceable against spring action and which lies in front of support shoulders in the region of the inner edge of the opening (23). In order to obtain an optimal form of use, the ball (22) is more than twice as great as the width of the corner recess (31) lying in the axial direction of the shank. The clamping surface (19) is inclined in wedge shape in the direction of action of the spring, and extends at an angle to the longitudinal axis of the chuck which lies within a self-locking region.
