  • Publication number: 20090289425
    Abstract: This invention relates to a chuck engagement lock mechanism which mainly has a chuck head and a lower sleeve holder for clamping a tool such as a drill bit, and a rotatable joint engaged at the side edge of the lower sleeve holder. The lateral side at one end of the rotatable joint and the bottom end face of the chuck head are respectively formed with engaging teeth that can be meshed with each other for adjusting the tightness of clamping from the chuck head to the tool. A rectangular opening is provided at the other end of the rotatable joint for fitting with a hand tool having a lever. Thus, the rotatable joint can be turned by the hand tool so that users can adjust the clamping tightness of the chuck head to the tool conveniently. Thus, the chuck engagement lock mechanism of the present invention has high value in practical application and business competitiveness.

  • Patent number: 5215317
    Abstract: A chuck has a spring connection between the nut which rotates to advance or retract the jaws and the control ring or sleeve which the user rotates to operate the chuck. The spring normally transmits tightening or loosening rotation from the sleeve to the nut. When the jaws contact a tool, however, the spring allows the sleeve to continue to rotate even though the nut is stopped by the jaw-tool contact. Continued rotation of the sleeve relative to the nut causes a cam mechanism interposed between these two elements to force the non-rotating nut axially forward. This applies a final tool-gripping force to the jaws.

Respective jaws displaceable in the guides are formed with radially directed teeth meshing with a screwthread of an adjustment body fixed on the spindle against rotation thereon so that rotation of the adjustment body relative to the guide body in one direction displaces the jaws radially toward one another and opposite rotation displaces the jaws radially apart. Further formations secure the adjustment body on the spindle for limited relative axial displacement substantially greater than the relative axial displacement possible between the guide body and the spindle.

A locking-ring body is axially displaceable between a rear unlocked position and a front locking position on the chuck body. A pin is radially displaceable in and extends radially from one of the bodies toward the other body and this other body is formed with an angularly extending slot having angularly opposed and spaced end surfaces and with a plurality of angularly spaced abutments. Thus when the pin is engaged in the slot it limits relative angular displacement of the bodies. The other body also has an axially backwardly extending cutout opening axially forward into the slot adjacent one of the end surfaces thereof at a mouth having an angular dimension generally equal to the pin width.
