Dynamicaly configurable arbor assembly apparatus
A dynamically configurable arbor assembly apparatus. The dynamically configurable arbor assembly apparatus provides plural configurations with removable and attachable components that can be dynamically adjusted and configured to be used with a large variety of power tools, lathes and/or milling machines including plural different attachment interfaces. The dynamically configurable arbor assembly apparatus can also replace a chuck component the power tools, lathes and/or milling machines.
Screwing tool, tool holder, and tool assembly including the screwing tool and the tool holder
A screwing tool includes a tool head and a tool shaft having an external thread. A first support section is disposed between the tool head and the external thread, and a second support section is disposed between the external thread and a free end of the tool shaft. The second support section has radially outwardly projecting supporting elements that are disposed at a distance from each other in the circumferential direction.
TREATMENT ELEMENT ATTACHMENT SYSTEM
A treatment assembly for securing a treatment member to a shaft that includes the treatment member and a female attachment member. The treatment member defines a longitudinal axis, and has a distal end and a proximal end. The proximal end includes an attachment recess defined therein. The female attachment member has a distal end, a proximal end, and a shaft recess defined in the proximal end. The female attachment member is secured in the attachment recess of the treatment member. The shaft recess is defined by an interior surface that includes a first flat surface. The interior surface includes a first detent defined therein. When the shaft is received in the shaft recess, the first flat surface is operatively engaged with a first opposing flat surface on a male attachment member and a first ball is biased into the first detent.

FOOL-PROOF TOOL COUPLING HAVING AXIALLY SPACED APART DRIVE MEMBERS AND ASSEMBLY METHOD THEREFOR
A tool coupling includes a first member, having a male coupling portion extending along a first axis, and a second member, having a female coupling portion extending along a second axis. The male coupling portion has front and rear drive members defining male front and rear footprints in respective first and second transverse mating planes. The female coupling portion has front and rear drive passages defining front and rear peripheral profiles in respective first and second transverse passage planes. The front and rear drive members respectively occupy the front and rear drive passages, and at least one of the front and rear drive members prevents rotation of the second member about the second axis. On imaginary rotation of the front peripheral profile by any angle about the second axis and axial projection thereof, the front peripheral profile overlaps (i.e., at least partially crosses) the rear footprint.

Fastening structure, head, and shank
Provided is a fastening structure having a wide application range and a high degree of freedom of design. A fastening structure includes: a head including a first end surface and a first screw part formed on the first end surface; and a shank including a second end surface and a second screw part formed on the second end surface and threadedly engaging with the first screw part. The first end surface includes a first principal surface oriented in an axial direction of the first screw part and a first step surface oriented in a rotational direction of the first screw part. The second end surface includes a second principal surface oriented in an axial direction of the second screw part and a second step surface oriented in a rotational direction of the second screw part. The first and second principal surfaces face each other and the first and second step surfaces face each other when the first screw part threadedly engages with the second screw part.
