Patent number: 8066456Abstract: The invention relates to a clamping device for removably mounting a tool (3) or a tool fixture in a receiving part (1). Said clamping device comprises several pincers elements (33) which are concentrically arranged around a central axis (32) within the receiving part (1) and are impinged upon by a tension spring (39) so as to be moved into a clamping position in order to brace the tool (3) or the tool fixture. In order to be able to automatically replace a tool without using much force and energy, an axially movable closing element (17) is assigned to the pincers elements (33). Said closing element (17) impinges the pincers elements (33) in a forward position that is advanced in the direction of the pincers elements (33) for mounting purposes in the clamping position thereof, which is swiveled inward by means of the tension spring (39), while being movable into a retracted position with the aid of a detaching device (12, 16, 45, 46, 47) in order to release the pincers elements (3).Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 2006Date of Patent: November 29, 2011Assignee: Ott-Jakob GmbH & Co.

Patent number: 7195431Abstract: The invention relates to a device for clamping a hollow shaft tool (1) or tool holder provided with a conical hollow shaft (3) in a machine spindle (2) provided with a taper bore (4), especially for use in a machine tool. The device comprises a clamping sleeve (7), axially displaceable inside the machine spindle (2), a tow-rod (8) for displacing the clamping sleeve (7) and being movable between a release position and a clamping position, and a plurality of pincer elements (19) associated with the clamping sleeve (7). The pincer elements are radially displaced by the displacement of the clamping sleeve (7) and have clamping faces (21, 24) to be placed on a conical inner surface (22) of the conical hollow shaft (3) and an opposite surface (26) on the work spindle (1). The aim of the invention is to provide a clamping device of the aforementioned kind wherein the hollow shaft tool is reliably retained in the machine spindle even when the tow-bar is already released.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2004Date of Patent: March 27, 2007Assignee: Ott-Jakob GmbH & Co., Spanntechnik KGInventors: Josef Greif, Wolfgang Wenk

Patent number: 6461285Abstract: A balance training apparatus has replaceable and exchangeable inserts tailored to accommodate various uses and to demand balancing skills of the user in dependence on personal attributes of the user. A moving object is disposed within each of the inserts for directed motion by the balancing user. A window, preferentially made from a clear plastic material, provides for visual observation by the user of the moving object traveling through a respective insert path, such that the user can direct the moving object, preferentially a ball, towards a target or along a path. The window is attached to the house in a manner not requiring the use of tools, such that the user can easily remove the window for direct access to and exchange of the insert.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2000Date of Patent: October 8, 2002Assignee: Jakobs GmbHInventors: Josef Theunissen, Ludolf Jakobs
