A chuck for use with a power driver having a rotatable drive spindle is provided. The chuck may comprise a plurality of jaws, a front body, a nut, a rear body, and a clutch. The clutch may be configured to move between a working position and a jaw actuating position. In the working position, the clutch teeth may be engaged with the rear body teeth such that rotation of the rear body by the drive spindle rotates the clutch, the front body, and the jaws. In the jaw actuating position, the clutch teeth may not or need not be engaged with the rear body teeth and the rear body may be configured to rotate the nut relative to the front body to move the jaws relative to the front body.

A chuck (10) is provided that includes a plurality of jaws (20) and a body (30) configured to rotate with a drive spindle of a power driver. The chuck (10) may also include a nut (80) comprising nut teeth (82). The nut (80) may be operably coupled to the jaws (20) and configured to move the jaws (20) relative to the body (30) in the opening or closing direction. The chuck (10) may also include a clutch (100) comprising clutch teeth (102). The clutch (100) may be configured to move between a working position and a jaw actuating position. In the working position, the clutch teeth (102) may be engaged with the nut teeth (82) to prevent movement of the nut (80) relative to the body (30), and, in the jaw actuating position, the clutch teeth (102) need not be engaged with the nut teeth (82) and the nut (80) may be free to move relative to the body (30).

The present invention provides a self-locking drill chuck, which the front end of its nut is provided with a number of keys, and the spring piece of the self-locking mechanism is assembled on the nut by being elastically limited between the keys of the nut. The second end of the spring piece passes into the gap between the keys and the drill body through a pair of keys among the keys, and is elastically attached to the key by its elasticity. The connecting protrusion of the spring piece is arranged on the portion of the spring piece between the pair of keys, and the lock end is located in the gap between the key corresponding to the lock end and the drill body. The present invention can not only prevent the self-locking state from exiting due to the inertia effect, but also has the advantages of convenient assembly and can further improve the self-locking performance.

The chuck comprises a base body (1) having a central axis (12), an outer casing (2) axially fixed but rotatable about the central axis (12) outside the base body (1), the outer casing (2) having inner guides (15) and a plurality of jaws (3) movable along the inner guides (15), a fitting mechanism linking rotations of the outer casing (2) to movements of the jaws (3), and a locking device comprising a ratchet mechanism operated by an outer control sleeve (14). The ratchet mechanism comprises a toothed ring (5) fixed to the base body (1), a pawl fixed to a lever (10) pivotally mounted to the outer casing (2) about a pivot pin (9) parallel to the central axis (12), and an elastic element (28) urging the pawl (6) to engage the toothed ring (5). The control sleeve (14) is rotatable and axially movable in cooperation with a cam (8).

A chuck assembly for a rotary power tool includes a chuck body rotatable about a central axis. The chuck body has a plurality of slots, each oriented at an oblique angle relative to the central axis. The chuck assembly also includes a plurality of jaws, each movable along a respective one of the slots. The chuck assembly also includes a collar coupled to the plurality of jaws. The collar is selectively engageable with the chuck body such that, when engaged, the plurality of jaws are movable along the plurality of slots in response to rotation of the collar.

A chuck including a chuck body that supports a plurality of jaws. An outer sleeve is axially fixed with respect to the chuck body. A nut is coupled to the outer sleeve, and the nut is movable axially and radially relative to the chuck body. The nut interacts with the jaws such that when the outer sleeve rotates, the nut moves axially and radially relative to the body.

A chuck is provided for use with a powered driver having a rotatable drive shaft. The chuck includes a plurality of jaws (22) movably disposed in passageways (40) of a cylindrical body (14), a nut (16) rotatably mounted about the body (14) and in communication with the jaws (22) such that rotation of the nut (16) in a closing direction moves the jaws (22) toward each other and rotation of the nut (16) in an opening direction moves the jaws (22) away from each other, and a sleeve rotatably mounted about the body (14). The sleeve is in communication with the nut (16) such that rotation of the sleeve rotationally drives the nut (16). The chuck also including a biasing element (208) disposed between the nut (16) an at least a portion of the sleeve configured to bias the sleeve toward a neutral position. The biasing element (208) limits an inertial force of the sleeve applied to the nut during operation of the powered driver.

A gear self-tightening drill chuck, comprising a rear pressing cover or a retaining ring, a rear body, a main body, a front sleeve, clamping jaws, and driven bevel gears; the rear body is arranged inside the main body; one end of the rear body is provided with a driving bevel gear, the large end thereof being arranged next to the rear body; the driving bevel gear is arranged inside the main body, and is engaged with the driven bevel gears; a plurality of driven bevel gears are arranged uniformly with the axis of the driving bevel gear as the centre line; the driven bevel gears have an inner screw thread; one end of the clamping jaw has an outer screw thread for use together with the inner screw thread; the main body is provided with clamping jaw holes and bevel gear holes.

A chuck configured to be operably coupled to a power driver having a rotatable drive spindle is provided. The chuck (100) may include a body (130) having a center axis (50) and a plurality of clamping jaws (101) configured to clamp onto a working bit. The clamping jaws (101) may be configured to angularly translate relative to the center axis towards or away from a clamping jaw point of convergence (154) to close or open a working bit opening defined by the clamping jaws (101). The clamping jaw point of convergence (154) may be on the center axis. The chuck (100) may also include a plurality of bit alignment jaws (150). The bit alignment jaws (150) may be configured to maintain the working bit within the working bit opening by being configured translate towards or away from a bit alignment jaw point of convergence (153) that is on the center axis (50) and disposed rearward of the clamping jaw point of convergence (154).
