Hand-tight drill chuck with lock
11084104 · 2021-08-10 · ·

A hand-tight drill chuck with a lock and self-locking structure including an elastic piece with an arcuate portion, arranged on a ring member threadedly connected to a clamping claw. The two ends of the arcuate portion are restricted. The elastic piece has a locking portion and groove or protrusion that cooperate with teeth between two ends of the arcuate portion. The drill chuck has a rotation sleeve with control structure. The control structure includes a metal member with elastic portion having a protrusion or groove that cooperate with the groove or protrusion. When the groove or protrusion of the elastic piece withstands against and is engaged with the protrusion or groove of the metal member via elasticity, the drill chuck is in a self-locking state. This ensures a locking torque and unlocking torque by elastic match between an elastic force which is not slack.

ELECTRONIC SPINDLE LOCK FOR A POWER TOOL

Electronic spindle lock for a power tool. One embodiment provides a power tool including a housing, a bit receiving portion provided on the housing for receiving a power tool bit, a motor within the housing configured to rotate the bit receiving portion, and a controller coupled to the motor. The controller is configured to enter an electronic spindle lock mode, and detect rotation of the bit receiving portion in a first direction. The controller is also configured to control motor to rotate in a second direction in response to detecting rotation of the bit receiving portion in the first direction.

DRILL SYSTEM, AN UPPER DRILL TOOL AND A LOWER DRILL TOOL FOR PRECISION FORMING OF OPENINGS IN A BRACKET, AND METHODS OF USE

An upper drill tool including a central chuck, an upper component, a lower component and a coupling assembly. The central chuck has a chuck base and a chuck structurally configured to retain a drill bit. The upper component is attached to the central chuck and has a lower stop surface. The lower component has a central body and an outer ring that threadedly engages the central body, with the outer ring having an upper stop. The coupling assembly is configured to facilitate the slidable movement of the lower component from a first orientation wherein the upper stop is spaced apart from the lower stop surface and a second orientation wherein the upper stop is in abutting engagement with the lower stop surface, with the first orientation and the second orientation defining a stroke.

CHUCK APPARATUS

Provided is a chuck apparatus enabling ease of rotation of a rotating cylinder in the loosening direction when replacing a tool, suppressed wear of the ratchet teeth, and a longer life span. Through the rotation of a rotating cylinder (1), the chuck apparatus expands or contracts a plurality of jaws (3) inserted into a hole (2a) provided to a tip end of a body (2), and sandwiches and holds a tool (4) using the jaws (3). An annular rotating body (8) screwed together with the jaws (3) and rotating together with the rotating cylinder (1) is fitted to the body (2) inside the rotating cylinder (1). Annular ratchet teeth (5) are provided to the body (2) or the rotating body (8), a detachable locking spring body (9) for locking with the ratchet teeth (5) is provided, and a lock release mechanism is provided for forcibly releasing the locking between the ratchet teeth (5) and the locking spring body (9) when a rotational force in a tightening direction is brought to zero after the rotating cylinder (1) has been rotated in the tightening direction and a holding force on the tool (4) has reached a predetermined value.

Chuck multi-mode jaw movement
11123807 · 2021-09-21 · ·

A chuck for use with a power driver having a rotatable drive spindle is provided. The chuck may include a clamping assembly comprising a clamping member that operably couples the sleeve to a nut. The clamping assembly may be configured to transition the chuck between a rapid jaw adjustment mode and a clamping mode. In the rapid jaw adjustment mode, a sleeve may be configured to rotate the clamping member with the nut to cause rotational movement of the nut relative to jaws and a chuck body, which may cause translational movement of the jaws relative to the chuck body. In the clamping mode, the nut may be rotationally fixed with the jaws and the clamping member may rotate relative to the nut to cause the nut to move axially relative to a center axis of the chuck which causes the jaws to translate relative to the body and clamp onto a working bit.
