Threaded Grip Patents (Class 279/7)
  • Patent number: 11879493
    Abstract: A split nut with an outer body and an inner body formed of two jaws for gripping a threaded rod. The outer body has an inner surface defining tapered axial channel and includes a separator between the jaws to guide the jaws against an inner surface of the tapered axial channel. The inner surface can be circular in cross section and the outer body can also have an outer surface be circular in cross section. A lock is arranged to lock the jaws in an axial position at which the jaws are sufficiently close to force the jaws into threaded engagement with the threaded rod. The lock can also lock the jaws in an additional axial position at which the threaded rod can be moved freely axially between the jaws. The lock can comprise a locking pin movable within the outer body into respective slots corresponding to each locking position.

  • Patent number: 4745831
    Abstract: A setting tool for screwing a threaded rod into a receiving material includes a work driver formed by a sleeve-like member. A retainer part is secured within one end of the sleeve-like member for holding the threaded rod while it is inserted. The end of the threaded rod located in the retainer part bears against a piston positioned within the sleeve-like member. A hydraulic medium holds the piston against the end of the threaded rod so that the rod is held in the work driver. After a threaded rod has been set, the rod can be removed from the retainer part by relieving the pressure of the hydraulic medium acting on the piston. The pressure is built-up as the threaded rod is screwed into the receiving material. The pressure is released by opening a valve connected to the space in the sleeve-like member containing the piston and hydraulic medium.

  • Patent number: 4684138
    Abstract: A chuck attachable to a drill powered by a reversible motor, is adapted for use in driving lag rods into wooden supports and has an axial bore extending therethrough which is partly threaded from one end to receive the machine-threaded end of a lag rod. A plug member is screwed into the threaded end of the bore of the chuck and has a formation enabling it to be so turned as to be seated at the inner end of the threads for engagement by the extremity of the machine threaded end of the lag rod. In order to so reduce the frictional engagement between the plug member and the extremity of the lag rod, the area of the engaged extremities is limited thus to ensure the release of the lag rod when the motor is reversed after the lag rod has been driven into the support to a desired extent.

The tool holder has a groove which is engagable by a hook of a tongue mounted on the cylindrical support. A collar surrounding the cylindrical support can be biased to a position which forces the hooks inward so as to engage the groove for mounting a tool. A tool support holds the tool holder along an axis coaxial with that of the drill shaft so that the cylindrical support can be lowered onto the tool holder. The surface of the tool support engages and raises the collar for releasing the hooks from the groove so as to permit the demounting of a tool.
