  • Publication number: 20120205879
    Abstract: A chuck has a body rotatable about a body axis and having an axially forwardly open central threaded hole and a tightening assembly rotatable about the axis on the chuck body and formed with a plurality of angularly spaced guides each having a face extending at an angle substantially greater than 20° to the body axis. Respective jaws are shiftable along the guide faces between radial outer positions and radial inner positions. A pusher angularly coupled to the jaws and to the tightening assembly is threaded into the hole of the body such that rotation of the assembly on the body in a tightening direction screws the pusher axially forwardly in the chuck body and shifts the jaws axially forward and radially inward on the respective guide faces and opposite rotation in a loosening direction shifts the jaws axially rearward and radially outward on the respective guide faces.

  • Patent number: 8061719
    Abstract: A drill chuck has a chuck body centered on and rotatable about an axis and formed with angled guides and respective jaws slidable in the guides axially forward and radially toward each other and axially rearward and radially away from each other. An annular tightening element is limitedly axially shiftable on the sleeve between a front position and a rear position. Screwthreads engaged between the element and the jaws axially displace the jaws forward on rotation of the element in a tightening direction and axially displace the jaws rearward on rotation of the element in an opposite loosening direction. Respective annular arrays of teeth angularly fixed on the element and the body are interengaged and prevent relative rotation of the element and body in the rear position of the element and are spaced and permit relative rotation of the element and body in the front position of the element.

  • Patent number: 8056906
    Abstract: A drill chuck has a chuck body, a jaw holder element rotatable on the body and formed with a plurality of angularly spaced guides, and a sleeve element surrounding the holder element and body. Jaws in the guides can be shifted in the guides forward and together on rotation of the holder element in a tightening direction relative to the body and oppositely on rotation of the holder element relative to the body in an opposite loosening direction. Interengaging formations on the sleeve element and on the body limit relative angular movement of the sleeve element on the body between a pair of angularly offset end positions. An annular array of teeth rotationally fixed to the sleeve element can be engaged by a pawl angularly fixed on the holder element. A release ring rotatable the body rearward of the sleeve is rotationally coupled to one of the elements.

  • Patent number: 7891918
    Abstract: A drill has a housing, a drivable drill spindle rotatably mounted in the housing, a chuck body coaxially connected and rotationally fixed to the drill spindle, a tightening sleeve rotatable on and relative to the chuck body, and jaws moveable relative to the chuck body by the tightening sleeve. A coupling between the housing and the tightening sleeve has a sleeve held on the housing so as not to rotate with the chuck body and movable relative to the chuck body chuck between a coupling position in which it connects the tightening sleeve to the spindle housing angularly in a friction-fit manner and a decoupling position into which it is urged by a decoupling spring when torque between the tightening sleeve and the coupling sleeve in the coupling position exceeds a predetermined value.

  • Patent number: 7850404
    Abstract: A drill chuck has a rotatable chuck body, a tightening sleeve axially fixed but rotatable on the chuck body, a plurality of jaws on the body and radially displaceable between inner and outer end positions, and a screwthread formation for radially displacing the jaws between their end positions on relative rotation of the body and sleeve. An inner element rotationally fixed on the chuck body has an elliptical outer surface generally centered on the axis and bearing on a flexible coupling ring having an annular array or radially outwardly projecting coupling teeth. First and second rings each have an annular array of radially inwardly projecting teeth meshing with the coupling teeth. The first ring is fixed and second ring is rotatable relative to the chuck body adjacent the first ring. The second-ring array of teeth has a number of teeth different from that of the first-ring array of teeth.

  • Patent number: 7845650
    Abstract: A drill chuck has a body formed with a forwardly open threaded bore and a holder sleeve rotatable on the body and formed with a plurality of forwardly open angled guides angularly equispaced about the axis. Respective jaws are shiftable radially along the guides between a widely spaced outer position and a closely spaced inner position. Each jaw has a central tool-engaging tooth and a pair of faces flanking the respective tooth, and each tooth and the adjacent flanking faces are so dimensioned and oriented relative to each other that in the inner position the flanking faces of adjacent jaws bear on one another. A pusher threaded into the bore bears axially forward on the jaws and is angularly coupled to the jaws and holder sleeve so that relative rotation or the chuck body and pusher moves the jaws between their inner and outer positions.

  • Patent number: 7841601
    Abstract: A drill chuck has a chuck body centered on and rotatable about an axis, a jaw holder rotatable on the body and formed with a plurality of angularly spaced guides, a sleeve surrounding the holder and body, and jaws in the guides between the sleeve and the body. Interengaging first and second stops on the body engage the sleeve and limit relative angular movement of the sleeve on the body between respective angularly offset first and second end positions. An annular array of teeth rotationally fixed to the chuck body engages first and second pawl angularly fixed on the holder. The pawls and the array of teeth are oriented such that each pawl locks in one direction and ratchets in the other, with the pawls working oppositely. Respective first and second springs urge the first and second pawls into the locking positions.

  • Patent number: 7832965
    Abstract: A drill has a housing formed with an outlet hole, a fan expelling an air stream from the outlet hole, a drive spindle projecting from the housing adjacent the outlet and centered on and rotatable about an axis, and a chuck body carried on the housing. A tightening sleeve rotatable about the axis on the chuck body carries a plurality of radially shiftable jaws, and interengaging screw formations operatively engaged between the body and the sleeve can shift the jaws radially in the guides on rotation of the sleeve relative to the body. A shield sleeve angularly fixed to the housing and surrounding the tightening sleeve has a rear end juxtaposed with the housing radially outside the outlet hole such that the air stream enters the shield sleeve. Inside the shield sleeve forward of its rear end a passage and a particle-expelling hole collect drilling particles and blow them out the particle-expelling hole.

  • Patent number: 7726917
    Abstract: A drill chuck has a chuck body having a forwardly open large-diameter threaded bore centered on an axis and a rearwardly open bore also centered on the axis and of small diameter. A power-unit spindle end is threaded into the small-diameter bore and projects axially forward into the large-diameter bore. A sleeve assembly axially fixed but rotatable on the chuck body is formed centered on the axis with a plurality of axially extending, angularly spaced, and forwardly open angled guides slidably receiving jaws. A coupling body has a large-diameter rear end threaded into the forwardly open large-diameter bore of the chuck body and a front end fitted to and angularly coupled to the jaws so that rotation of the sleeve assembly, jaws, and coupling body relative to the chuck body axially shifts the jaws.
