Patent number: 6330846Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2000Date of Patent: December 18, 2001Assignee: Wera Werk Hermann Werner GmbH & Co.Inventor: Martin Strauch

Patent number: 6263771Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 2000Date of Patent: July 24, 2001Assignee: Wera-Werk Hermann Werner GmbH & Co.Inventor: Martin Strauch

Patent number: 5899645Abstract: 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).Type: GrantFiled: April 3, 1998Date of Patent: May 4, 1999Assignee: Wera Werk Hermann Werner GmbH & Co.Inventors: Friedrich Albert Garschagen, Hans-Udo Heym

Patent number: 5704261Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 1995Date of Patent: January 6, 1998Assignee: Wera Werk Hermann Werner GmbH & Co.Inventors: Martin Strauch, Robert Hoy
