A self-locking drill chuck is disclosed herein. Among the rotating sleeve, the spring leaf and the nut, the nut is rotated by the rotating sleeve without being driven by the spring leaf, the spring leaf is loaded on the nut to rotate with the nut synchronously, under normal state, the locking end of the spring leaf is in a closed state against the teeth, and the self-locking drill chuck is also provided with a state switching part which is connected with the rotating sleeve and rotates with the rotating sleeve synchronously; the spring leaf is provided with a state switching matching structure. The nut is directly driven by a rotating sleeve without the spring leaf during the rotating process in the clamping direction or the releasing direction, which can enhance the hand feeling and efficiency in the clamping operation; the spring leaf has self-locking functions which can be in normally closed and the elastic force is opposite to the centrifugal force, greatly enhancing the reliability of the drill chuck self-locking structure.

LOCKING CHUCK

A chuck (10) has a body (14), a plurality of jaws (22), and a rotatable nut (16). A sleeve (18) is rotatable between a first rotational position and a second rotational position with respect to the nut. An annular array of first teeth (84) are non-rotatable with respect to the body. One or more second teeth (63) are non-rotatable with respect to the nut and axially movable with respect to the body. When the teeth engage, they resist the nut's rotation in the opening direction. An engagement between the sleeve and the one or more second teeth moves the one or more second teeth out of engagement with the first teeth when the sleeve moves from the second rotational position to the first rotational position and moves the one or more second teeth into engagement with the first teeth when the sleeve moves from the first rotational position to the second rotational position.

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