POWER TOOL CHUCK
A power tool chuck includes a body with a central bore extending along an axis and configured to receive a tool bit, a plurality of angled passageways, and a plurality of jaws received in the passageways and moveable between an axially forward and radially inward clamping position and an axially rearward and radially outward retracted position. At least one jaw has a rear end lying in a first plane transverse to the axis. A first key drive member coupled to a tail portion of the body is configured to be engaged by a second key drive member on a power tool output shaft to non-rotationally couple the body to the output shaft. The first key drive has a forward end lying in a second plane transverse to the axis. The second plane is axially forward of the first plane when the jaws are in the retracted position.
INTEGRATED DRILLING INJECTION AND EXTRACTION DEVICE AND METHOD
An integrated drilling and injection device, comprising: a longitudinal shank 7 having an internal passage extending from an open first end of the shank 7 along an axis of the shank 7 toward a second end of the shank; a drill bit 3 located at a second end of the shank 7 opposite the first end; and at least one outlet 9 in fluid communication between the internal passage and an exterior surface of the shank 7. In this way, the device may be driven into a substrate and then fluid may be injected into the substrate by passing along the internal passage and through the at least one outlet 9, without first having to remove the device and replace it with a separate injection component.
Positioning cutter assembly and positioning collet assembly
A positioning cutter/collet assembly has a cutter/collet and a magnetic attracting position key. The cutter/collet has a cutter/collet key seat recessed in an external annular surface thereof. The magnetic attracting position key is mounted on and magnetically attracts the cutter/collet key seat. The magnetic attracting position key has a body having a protruding rod and a magnetic attracting portion combined with the body and magnetically attracting the cutter/collet to prevent the magnetic attracting position key from separating from the cutter/collet.
Method and apparatus for retaining a tool in a tool holder
Tool holder has a first section adapted to be connected to a machining center and a tool holding section comprising a bore with a surface defining an inner diameter of the bore. Dispersed around the surface of the bore and at least partially embedded in the surface of the bore is a joining compound having a Young's modulus greater than a Young's modulus of the surface of the bore.
CHIP/DUST PREVENTION COVER, CHIP/DUST PREVENTION COVER SET, CHUCK MECHANISM, AND MACHINE TOOL
Intrusion of chips is prevent into gaps formed between inner end surfaces of master jaws and a chuck cover. A top plate is disposed at the center of an end surface of a chuck body. Top covers, which move in conjunction with movements of master jaws when opening and closing the chuck, are disposed in top cover guide recesses formed at three positions on the top plate. Each top cover abuts the center-side end parts of serrated surfaces formed on both widthwise sides of a respective master jaw and the center-side end part of a step section of a stepped claw therebetween, and the top covers close gaps formed at the center-side end parts by the movements of the master jaws at all times by moving in conjunction with movement of the master jaws.
ACCESSORY TOOL
An accessory tool includes an adapter end having a maximum outer dimension, and a shank coupled to the adapter end. The shank includes a tool engagement portion including a cross section having a maximum outer width, a first reduced portion disposed between the tool engagement portion and the adapter end and having a first minimum outer dimension and a first length, and a second reduced portion formed in the tool engagement portion between the first reduced portion and an end of the shank. The second reduced portion is engaged by the tool to secure the shank to the tool, and has a second minimum outer dimension and a second length. The maximum outer dimension is greater than the maximum outer width. The maximum outer width is greater than the first minimum outer dimension and greater the second minimum outer dimension. The first length is greater than the second length.
MACHINE TOOL
A machine tool includes a spindle including a tool insertion portion having a shape of an opening into which a shank of a tool is inserted and configured to attach the tool thereto, a tool change unit configured to change the tool attached to the spindle while gripping the tool, an air supply unit configured to supply air to a gap between the tool insertion portion and the shank of the tool when the tool change unit changes the tool, and a controller configured to control driving of at least any one of the spindle and the tool change unit to allow the tool and the tool insertion portion to reciprocate relative to each other in a predetermined direction with the shank of the tool inserted into the tool insertion portion and with a gap provided between the tool insertion portion and the shank of the tool.
PIN DRIVE ROTARY SURGICAL CUTTING TOOLS AND POWERED HANDPIECES
A surgical cutting tool includes an elongated shaft and a cutting head. The shaft defines a coupling portion terminating at a proximal end of the shaft, a stem portion, and a distal portion. The stem portion defines a central axis. The coupling portion optionally defines a deflection surface positioned oblique with respect to the central axis and connected with a first driven surface and a second driven surface. Upon insertion into a drive chuck, the deflection surface promotes self-alignment of the cutting tool and the drive chuck.
Cutting tool holding mechanism, cutting tool holder and machine tool system
A cutting tool holding mechanism for detachably holding a cutting tool includes: a collet chuck configured to clamp and unclamp the cutting tool; a piston disposed deeper on the proximal side of the spindle than the collet chuck and configured to urge the collet chuck by the pressure of a fluid supplied from the proximal side of the spindle in the direction from the proximal side toward the distal end side of the spindle so that the collet chuck unclamps the cutting tool; a spool valve provided in the piston and configured to open thanks to centrifugal force at the time when the spindle is turned, so as to supply the fluid fed from the spindle side to the cutting tool.
COMPOSITE TOOL HOLDERS AND APPLICATIONS THEREOF
In one aspect, composite tool holders are described herein comprising advantageous structural arrangements of metal carbide and alloy components. Briefly, a composite tool holder comprises a metal carbide shank comprising a bore having an inner diameter and outer diameter. An alloy sleeve is positioned in the bore for engaging a tool, wherein the alloy sleeve is bonded to inner diameter surfaces of the bore via a crosslinked adhesive.
