Provided is a rotary tool with a compact tip tool holding portion (80). The rotary tool is provided with a sleeve (81) attached to an output shaft (41) to switch a tip tool (70) between a fixed state and a detachable state. The output shaft (41) has a through hole (46) formed therein radially penetrating from the inside to the outside of a mounting hole thereof. The through hole (46) has a steel ball (85) provided therein such that at least a part of the steel ball (85) overlaps at least a part of a case (10). The sleeve (81) defines a first position in the outward direction of the steel ball (85), while the case (10) regulates a second position on the radially outer side of the first position.

The disclosed subject matter relates to a visual guide for aiding the surgeon in the insertion of a k-wire. The guide including a ring for receiving a guide wire, the guide wire extending from the ring parallel to the center axis of the ring; and, a ring attachment mechanism configured to attach the visual guide to a wire driver. The guide wires representing the trajectory of the k-wire in two orthogonal planes thus allowing the surgeon to free hand the insertion by visually referencing the guide wires and the actual trajectory of the k-wire within the bone.

A tool assembly includes a housing, a shaft, a spherical member, and a head. The housing defines a shaft channel. The shaft is rotatably disposed within the shaft channel and includes an exposed portion outside of the shaft channel. The exposed portion defines an engagement channel extending through an outer surface of the exposed portion. The spherical member is disposed within the engagement channel. The head is configured to be engaged with the exposed portion of the shaft. The head includes a detent configured to selectively engage the spherical member.

A tool adaptor includes a body, a sleeve slidably mounted around the body, an elastic member abutting against the body and the sleeve, and an engaging ball. The body has a connecting hole and an engaging hole. The sleeve has a pressing portion. The engaging ball is movably disposed in the engaging hole and selectively pressed by the pressing portion to enter the connecting hole and to engage with an engaging groove a tool. A size of the at least one engaging ball is configured such that when the at least one engaging ball enters the connecting hole, a clearance is formed between an outer periphery of the engaging ball and a groove bottom face of the engaging groove.

A tool retainer is provided. The tool has a retainer sleeve having a longitudinal external tab to engage with an internal recessed radial groove with a tool holder, and wherein the retainer sleeve has two internal radial tabs that engage with a recessed groove in a rotating tool shank. A cutting tool assembly including a cutting bit and the retainer sleeve is provided.

A holding attachment includes a holding portion with a round or substantially round columnar hole shape in which a held portion of a material before cutting is inserted and a mounting portion that is mounted on a work mount of a cutting machine. The mounting portion includes at least one pin that is inserted to at least one pin insertion hole provided in the work mount and at least one engagement portion that is engaged with at least one rotation stopper provided in the work mount. A position reference portion of the material before cutting is recessed from a round or substantially round columnar outer peripheral surface of the held portion. The holding portion includes a fitting portion fit to the position reference portion of the material before cutting.

A device for transmitting a torque from a drill to a drill bit includes a shank and a tool fitting. The shank has a first outer conical region, a groove region, and a second outer conical region and has first longitudinal grooves and second longitudinal grooves. The tool fitting has a basic body which has first outer rotary driving grooves, an intermediate element which has first inner rotary drivers, second inner rotary drivers, and first outer rotary drivers, and has a locking device. In the connected state, the first inner rotary drivers engage in the first longitudinal grooves, the second inner rotary drivers engage in the second longitudinal grooves, and the first outer rotary drivers engage in the first outer rotary driving grooves.

A coupling mechanism for securing a tool to a tool arm may include a housing and an engaging lock. The engaging lock may be arranged within the housing and configured for rotation by the tool arm. Rotation of the engaging lock may drive locking mechanisms partially through the housing to establish a longitudinally secured connection.

A deburring tool includes a body including a cylinder chamber having a tool holder holding hole, and an anti-rotation body holding hole; a tool holder having an anti-rotation groove and disposed in the cylinder chamber to reciprocate in the cylinder chamber; a first elastic body disposed inside the cylinder chamber to urge the tool holder toward a distal end; a cover disposed outside the body to reciprocate between a detaching position and a processing position, the cover including, a pressing surface that covers the anti-rotation body holding hole at the processing position, and a relief portion; and an anti-rotation body accommodated in the relief portion when the cover is positioned at the detaching position and the tool holder is pulled from the tool holder holding hole.

A tool-holding apparatus (70) includes an engaging member (71) for engaging a tool accessory (B) and being movably supported in axial and radial directions in a rotational-output shaft (26) having an insertion hole (81) for holding the tool accessory (B). A first biasing member (72) biases the engaging member towards engagement with the engaging member. A bit sleeve (73) is movable in the axial direction along an outer-circumferential surface of the rotational-output shaft between a blocking position at which radial outward movement of the engaging member is blocked and a permitting position at which radial outward movement of the engaging member is permitted. A second biasing member (74) biases the bit sleeve toward the blocking position. A positioning part (75) is fixed on the outer-circumferential surface of the rotational-output shaft and stops the bit sleeve at the blocking position. The bit sleeve has a projection (88), which is disposed on the forward side of the first biasing member, extends inward in the radial direction, and slidably contacts the rotational-output shaft.
