  • Patent number: 4886402
    Abstract: Device for mounting of attachments, toolholders and tools with cone and face application, especially for machining and turning centers with automatic or manual changers of tools with tapered shank, in particular with 7/24th taper, comprising a cone (1) for introduction in the spindle, a front part (2) centered in an aperture in the cone (1) and provided with a flange for application against the face of the spindle and a gripping knob (3) for assembly of cone (1) and front part (2). The gripping knob is connected to an intermediate non-deformable connecting device having structure to allow adjustment of the length thereof. The connecting device is connected to the front part thereby to secure the front part to the cone.

  • Patent number: 4877360
    Abstract: The present invention concerns an apparatus for locking and/or gripping modular attachments of boring heads, boring bars, intermediate members, adapters, tool holders, hydraulic punches, long tongs, or other mechanical members. The apparatus comprises one or several fastening elements (1) disposed at regular intervals over the diameter of the drive shaft (2) at a given distance from the surface of application (3) of the part to be driven or adapter (4) cooperating with the fastening elements (1). The fastening elements (1) are hemispherical headed screws, and seats (5) provided on the part to be driven or adapted (4) having a hemispherical section of greater radius than that of the screws. Driving in rotation of the drive shaft has for effect an auto-gripping of the surface (3) of the part to be driven against the application surface (6) of the drive shaft (2).

  • Patent number: 4761102
    Abstract: Drilling head comprising a body for fastening in a mounting support. The body carries a pair of radially movable tools. A casing is mounted for axial displacement along a bore in the body, the casing being rotatable relative to the body about the axis of the bore. Structure is provided for rotating the casing in the bore and for moving the casing axially along the bore. The casing supports pins which are engageable with both tools of the pair of radially movable tools and which in one axial position of the casing along the bore move both tools in opposite axial directions upon rotation of the casing and which in another axial position of the casing along the bore contact only one tool to move only that one tool radially relative to the other tool.
