Abstract: A quick-change core drill includes an adapter and a generally tubular drill barrel. The adapter comprises a first end adapted to be removably connected to a drill spindle and a second end adapted to be removably connected to the drill barrel. The drill barrel includes an inside diameter D1, a first end, and a second end having a crown with an inside diameter D3. The first end of the drill barrel is adapted to be removably connected to the second end of the adapter such that the inside diameter D1 is at least as large as the inside diameter D3. Upon detection of a jammed core inside the drill barrel, the user can quickly and easily remove the jammed core from the drill barrel by disconnecting the drill barrel from the adapter. Since there are no obstructions present, the user can simply remove the jammed core from the first end of the drill barrel.

In a state in which the shaft is installed on the drill, the shaft and the drill have a drill-locking mechanism for preventing the drill from being moved to a base side of the shaft and a torque transmission mechanism for transmitting, to the drill, a rotational force applied to the shaft in a direction in which a bone-excavating blade is allowed to excavate the bone.

Abstract: A pneumatic impact power tool has a tool body with a bit-receiving axial bore in its end surface. A cap is threaded on the end of the tool body and has an end wall spaced from the end surface to define a cavity and a lobed opening in the cavity matably receiving a like-lobed bit shank, the cavity being dimensioned to accommodate the lobes. Spring-biased balls project into the cavity from radial bores in the end cap to engage the shank lobes and bias them to a rotational position non-aligned with the opening lobes to inhibit removal. The cavity is dimensioned to afford a slight axial clearance to accommodate axial movement of the lobes. A cover on the end cap is recessed to receive the bias springs, retaining both the springs and the cover in place. The end cap has a annular channel communicating with an exhaust passage in the tool body and four exhaust ports in the end wall.

Abstract: A tool with changeable working tips has a tool shaft with an attachment end adapted to receive the attachment end of a working tip in freely removable engagement therewith. A sleeve is moved over the engagement of the shaft and working tip to securely hold the shaft and working tip together in engaged position so that any rotation or other movement of the shaft is transferred to the working tip. The sleeve is removable from around the engagement ends of the shaft and working tip, such as by removal from the tool or retraction into the tool, to allow the working tip to be removed from engagement with the shaft and a different working tip to be engaged with the shaft. The sleeve is replaced over the engagement of the engagement ends to hold the different working tip in place.

Abstract: There is disclosed a direct acting lock mechanism to secure a tool within a driver which is useful for securing open channel sockets used to securing aerospace fasteners in a driver. These sockets have a flatted shank, typically hexagonal in cross section, and are received in a socket receptacle of the driver which has a cross section matching that of the shank. In the preferred embodiment, the flatted surfaces of the shank are formed to have substantially coextensive flats which are displaced through an angular increment of at least about 15 degrees. The flats do not extend the entire length of the shank, however, thus providing a thin shelf which has a cross section which matches the internal flatted surface of the socket receptacle of the driver.

Abstract: The present invention is a tool holder which permits lateral insertion and removal of a tool means into and from the holder thereby making it unnecessary to move the machine or work piece to provide excess clearance. The tool holder includes a main body having a shallow tool cavity formed in one end thereof for receiving the tool means. A locking element having a u-shaped collar is rotatably mounted to the main body for clamping the tool means within the tool cavity. The u-shaped collar defines a tool slot having a tool slot opening which extends from the side of the locking element. When the locking element is in an unlocked position, the tool slot opening aligns radially with the open side of the tool cavity to permit lateral insertion and removal of the tool means into and from the cavity. When the locking element is rotated to the locked position, tool slot opening is moved out of alignment with the open side of the cavity thereby preventing removal of the to tool means.

The longitudinal slot is adjoined by both the retainer notch and the depth notch through the use of curved sidewalls which allow the tool operator to use a smooth, uniform, and efficient motion to adjust extension of the drill bit.

Abstract: An attachment to a socket wrench and the like carries a rocker arm in a recess in the body of the attachment. The rocker arm rocks about a shaft inserted transversely of the arm in a pair of apertures in the attachment body. At one end of the arm a compression spring seated in a concavity in the attachment body urges a detent carried on the other end of the arm to enter through an opening into the engaging receptacle at the other end of the body.A nut forced into the engaging receptacle cams the end of the detent outwardly of the receptacle, and when the nut is seated, the action of the spring on the arm causes the nut to be retained. By simply pressing on the arm against the spring, the spring may be further compressed to release a nut in the engaging receptacle.

The tool is inserted into the passage and has a thickness sufficient to urge the segment out of engagement with the bit so that the bit is removed from the chuck.

Abstract: A drilling device is made up of a hollow cylindrical retainer and an annular drill bit. One of the retainer and drill bit has recesses for receiving projections on the other so that the two parts can be detachably connected together. Each recess has a first and a second axially extending section with the second section extending circumferentially from the opposite axially extending sides of the first section. Accordingly, the second section forms stop shoulders extending transversely of the axial direction for contacting circumferentially extending edges of the projections. As a result, the retainer can transmit rotary motion to the drill bit in both rotational directions while maintaining the two parts in connected engagement.
