A chuck with a chuck body having a guide opening and an actuating element, and with at least one interchangeable clamp that can be inserted into the guide opening. The clamp has associated therewith a rotary disk with a blocking element that secures the rotary disk against rotation relative to the chuck body during insertion of the clamp into the guide opening. This makes it possible that, upon a rotation of the clamp about the longitudinal axis in the guide opening, a segment can be displaced outward toward the chuck body by the rotation relative to the rotary disk, via which the clamp is detachably secured on the chuck body. A clamp with a clamp body, a pivot body located in the clamp body, and a chucking element is also provided. The clamp has, at the opposite end of the clamping element, a locking unit that carries the pivot body.

Provided is a tool holding structure capable of effectively preventing a cutting tool from coming off a chuck portion. An outer fitting portion A is formed in an outer face of a shank portion 2 of a cutting tool T and an inner fitting portion B is formed in an inner face of a chuck portion 12 of a tool holder. A fitting member 20 is provided to be fitted to the outer fitting portion A and the inner fitting portion B respectively. The fitting member 20 includes a protruding portion 22 which protrudes from an outer circumference of the shank portion 2 when fitted to the outer fitting portion A. A guide groove 18 is formed for guiding the protruding portion 22 of the fitting member 20 from an open side of an inner space 13 to the inner fitting portion B. The inner fitting portion B includes a rotation preventing face for preventing relative rotation between a holder body 10 and the cutting tool T in association with contact thereof with the protruding portion 22 and a slip-out preventing face for preventing slip-out of the cutting tool T in association with contact thereof with the protruding portion 22.

This disclosure includes various embodiments of couplers for coupling intraosseous (IO) devices and drivers, and various embodiments of drivers and kits.

A passive locking chuck for a rotary driver. The chuck has a pair of rings, one fixed and the other rotatable between a first orientation where recesses formed in the rotatable ring are aligned with recesses formed in the fixed ring, and a second orientation where the recesses are offset from one another. When an upper end of a foundation component having a toothed coupler is inserted into the chuck and rotated axially, the movable ring is moved to the second orientation and the foundation component is thereby captured in the chuck. As soon as resistance is encountered from the soil, the ring moves back to the first orientation so that upon reaching the desired embedment depth, the rotary driver may be withdrawn without counter rotation.

The invention relates to a tool holder with a tool holding fixture, in particular a clamping chuck such as a contracting chuck, a draw-in collect chuck, a hydraulic expanding chuck and a high-precision chuck, and a shank of a tool, in particular a rotary tool, accommodated in it, wherein the tool holder contains a means for preventing the tool from being pulled out, locking it against axial displacement. This pull-out preventing unit comprises at least one locking element and at least one locking groove, which corresponds to the said locking element, receives it and interacts with it in a positively locking manner. In this case, both the locking element and the locking groove are formed at least partly in the manner of a ball head. Preferably, the tool has the locking grooves. On account of preferably spirally arranged locking grooves along the cylindrical shank of rotary tools, the direction of pitch of which grooves corresponds to the direction of the grooves of the tool, axial locking of the tool is obtained, so that the tool cannot be axially displaced from the tool holder during operation. In addition, force-exerting elements are arranged, with the effect of making the tool lie against the pull-out preventer without play after shrink-fitting.
