A workholding apparatus comprises a base having a channel, two lower members each having a protrusion, and two upper members each having a cavity. Each lower member is coupled with an actuator placed inside the channel. Each upper member is removably coupled with a lower member by inserting the protrusion inside the cavity. The protrusions and the cavities include triangular regions having tilted sides. The upper members releasably engage the lower members by inserting the protrusions into the cavities. The lower members are coupled with an actuator which operates to move the lower members toward one another causing the upper members to generate a clamping, force. A mounting apparatus comprises two lower members and a single upper member, having similar protrusions and cavities, provides a mounting platform.

A chuck structure includes: a first chuck, provided with a seat slidable relatively thereto, the seat provided with a first stop; a limiting element, swingable relatively to the seat, and provided with a second chuck; and an operating element, respectively connected with the limiting element and a second chuck, and driving the second chuck to move relatively to the first chuck to form an accommodation space between the first chuck and second chuck, an elastic element configured between the operating element and limiting element, and the elastic element pressing against the limiting element to approach the seat, allowing the second and first stops to be in contact with each other. The present invention can use the operating element 3 to adjust the size of the accommodation space, and the second stop in contact with first stop to make the operating element can only be rotated in a single direction.

An engaging member, a female member and a tool changer that can be downsized are provided, and the engaging member is an engaging member including: an engaging surface that allows a cam provided in a male member to engage therewith; and a dispersing surface that transmits a force provided from the cam via the engaging surface, to a female member body, wherein the dispersing surface includes a first dispersing surface and a second dispersing surface perpendicular to each other, and a cross-sectional shape perpendicular to a longitudinal direction is formed in a substantially triangular shape by the dispersing surface and the engaging surface.

A tap holder includes a body extending along an axis and having a front end portion defining a front opening and an externally threaded portion. A gripping assembly includes a spring having first and second legs, a first jaw mounted to the first leg, and a second jaw mounted to the second leg. Each jaw has a tapered outer wall and an inner wall with the inner walls of the jaws facing each other. A sleeve has an internally threaded bore threadably received on the externally threaded portion of the body, and an inner tapered surface configured to abut the tapered outer walls of the first and second jaws. As the sleeve is rotated relative to the body, a distance between the first and second gripping surfaces may be adjusted for gripping a tap between the inner walls of the first and second jaws. Each of the inner walls includes first and second gripping surfaces, the first gripping surfaces defining a first width therebetween for gripping taps having a first range of head sizes, and the second gripping surfaces defining a larger second width therebetween for gripping taps having a second, different range of head sizes.

A power tool includes a housing (10), a spindle (4) supported in the housing to be pivotable or rotatable about a driving axis, a clamping shaft (60) that is selectively movable in the up-down direction relative to the spindle, a biasing member (70), a release member (71) and an actuating member (50). The release member is selectively movable in the up-down direction relative to the spindle and is configured to selectively interrupt transmission of upward biasing force from the biasing member to the clamping shaft. The release member is also configured to be locked to the spindle in a locked position while transmission of the biasing force is being interrupted. The actuating member is movable upward in the up-down direction relative to the spindle in response to being pressed upward by a clamping part (64) or by a tool accessory (91) to thereby unlock the release member from the spindle.

A tool coupling extends along a longitudinal axis and has a first component, a second component, and a clamp for fastening the first component to the second component. The first component has a male clamping portion, the second component has a female clamping portion, and the clamp is located in an inner cavity of the second component. The male clamping portion has a first abutment region located axially rearward of a first plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, the inner cavity has a second abutment region located axially forward of the first plane, and the first and second abutment regions face towards the first plane. In a fastened state, a clamp first engagement region of the clamp makes clamping contact with the male clamping portion's first abutment region, and a clamp second engagement region of the clamp makes clamping contact with the inner cavity's second abutment region.
