Abstract: Various clamping mechanisms are known for clamping shank-like tools such as drills, milling cutters and the like. The known clamping mechanisms often require long setting times involving long idle times when changing tools, particularly on machines with several spindles. The instant disclosure teaches a clamping mechanism allowing rapid tool change on the machine spindles and having good concentricity characteristics. A bayonet catch-like locking device is used for this purpose.

Abstract: A mechanical pencil in which a tubular casing is formed with a lead-guiding passage which has a leading end open outwardly away from the casing. A lead is advanced through the passage by a collet movable between a first position in which the lead is clamped and a second position in which the lead is released. An element normally presses the lead, when the latter is in the passage, against an inner surface of the passage for preventing undesirable sliding of the lead along the passage when the collet releases the lead.

Abstract: A mechanical pencil has an axially elongated hollow pencil body in which is slidable a tubular seat member. A lead-protecting sleeve is axially displaceable in the pencil body between a front position and a rear position and is urged into the front position with a relatively strong spring force. At least two jaws are axially displaceable on the seat and are moved radially closer as they move backwardly from the tip so as to grip a lead that projects backwardly from the lead-projecting sleeve. A relatively weak spring urges these jaws backwardly in the seat. An O-ring is provided in the lead-projecting sleeve so that each time the pencil tip is lifted from the writing surface the lead is automatically pulled forwardly by the strong spring force through the jaws. Similarly forward displacement of the seat in which the jaws rest allows for manual advance of a lead gripped by the jaws and passing through the lead-protecting sleeve.

Abstract: A mechanical pencil of the collet action type is provided with a lead collet being formed from a pair of identically configured mating shells which are maintained in fixed relation with respect to one another by means of an annulus cooperating with a conical flared portion formed at one end thereof and by means of a cap at the opposite end, all parts of the pencil being maintained in assembled relation by a spring. The parts are assembled by sliding first one and then the other of the two collet shells through an annulus into mating relation with one another and thereafter fitting the end cap over the end of the mating shells.
