20120274035 | POWER DRILL - A drilling apparatus has a housing, a motor in the housing, a drive spindle rotatable about an axis on the housing, a chuck body, and a plurality of jaws shiftable in the chuck body. First and second elements interconnected by a screw thread and engaged between the body and the jaws for shifting the jaws on the housing. A drive sleeve rotationally fixed to the first element is drivable by the motor. | 11-01-2012 |
20130133908 | POWER DRILL WITH ADJUSTABLE TORQUE - A typical power drill has a housing, a drive spindle that can be driven by a motor, and a chuck including a chuck body in which jaws are guided that are adjustable by a threaded connection provided between a driver and a threaded sleeve. A drill spindle and an axially displaceable drive stem can be driven by a motor from its end facing the drive spindle by planetary gearing gearing composed of a sun gear, a planet carrier supporting planet gears, and a ring gear, and comprising a control element. A locking element and a gripping element are provided parallel to the force transmission chain of the drive stem, which elements are rotationally fixed to the housing and can be moved axially by adjusting the control element between the operating modes of the power drill so as to vary the torque acting on the drive stem. | 05-30-2013 |
20140131957 | DRILL CHUCK - A drill-chuck body is rotatable about an axis and formed with a plurality of passages opening axially rearward at a rear face of the body and radially outwardly at windows in a side of the body. Jaws displaceable between front and rear positions in the passages each have a row of teeth exposed radially outwardly at the respective windows. A tightening ring rotatable about the axis is formed with an internal screwthread engaged at the windows with the teeth such that rotation of the ring moves the jaws between the front and rear positions. A tightening sleeve fitted around and coupled rotationally to the tightening ring extends axially rearward past the windows. This brace ring is radially inwardly engaged with the body and engages radially outwardly between the windows and the rear face with the tightening sleeve so as to coaxially center it on the body. | 05-15-2014 |
20140154024 | HIGH-FREQUENCY SPINDLE - A high-frequency spindle has a tube shaft extending along and rotatable about an axis, a chuck carried on a front end of the shaft, adapted to fit with a tool or tool holder, and a ball cage in the shaft and having a radially extending window. A locking ball os radially displaceable in the window between a holding position engaging in a seat of the tool and a freeing position clear of the seat. An angled surface is engageable radially with the ball, and an actuating rod is axially shiftable and coupled to the cage or to the angled surface. An actuator can axially shift the rod and thereby relatively axially displace the ball and the angled surface and cam the ball with the angled surface into the holding position. A primary spring biases the rod so as shift the ball with the angled surface into the holding position. | 06-05-2014 |
20140167368 | DRILL CHUCK - A drill chuck has a chuck body centered on an axis, made of plastic, and formed with an axially rearwardly open drive-spindle seat, at least one axially extending slot of ring-segment section opening radially inward into the seat, an axially forwardly open tool-holding cavity, and a plurality of angled jaw guides. Respective jaws are movable in the guides and engaged by a threaded ring axially fixed on the body and rotatable about the axis thereon. A tightening sleeve rotatable about the axis on the body is connected to the ring for rotating same. | 06-19-2014 |
20140231114 | POWER DRILL - A power drill shiftable between at least two operational modes has a drill housing, a brushless dc motor in the housing, a drive spindle rotatable about an axis, and a chuck body adjacent the housing. Two elements interconnected by a screwthread are relatively axially shiftable on relative rotation about the axis, and gripping jaws between the chuck body and one of the elements are relatively shiftable radially of the axis on relative axial shifting of the elements. A drive sleeve rotatable by the motor about the axis is connected to the other of the elements. A member is shiftable between positions corresponding to the operational modes of the power drill. A sensor detects which mode the power drill is in, and motor-control means connected between the sensor and the motor adjusts a parameter of the motor as a function of the mode detected by the sensor. | 08-21-2014 |
20140284888 | DRILL CHUCK - A drill chuck has a chuck body having a plurality of angularly spaced and axially extending but angled guide grooves each holding a jaw that is axially displaceable between an axially front closed position and an axially rear open position. Each jaw has an outer edge formed with external teeth, and also has an axially rearwardly directed rear face extending at an acute angle to a plane perpendicular to the axis. A ring rotatable on the body about the axis has an internal screwthread meshing with the teeth, and an adjustment sleeve rotationally coupled to the ring is rotatable to move the jaws between the open and closed positions. A cover disk on the rear end of the body is formed with respective throughgoing chip-discharge holes each having an inner end aligned with a respective one of the grooves and an outwardly open outer end. | 09-25-2014 |
20140374999 | POWER DRILL - A power drill has a housing holding a motor and a drive member rotatable about an axis. An arbor extending along the axis outside the housing is rotationally coupled by complementary formations with the drive member. A tube shaft on which is fixed a chuck body holding a plurality of axially displaceable jaws. A sleeve in the tube shaft is rotationally coupled to the arbor. A pusher element braced axially forward against the jaws extends axially rearward into the sleeve, and interengaging screwthreads on the sleeve and pusher element axially displace the pusher element and the jaws on relative rotation of the sleeve and pusher element. A setting sleeve rotationally coupled to the rear end of the tube shaft is axially displaceable between a tightening position engaging a slip coupling on the housing and a drilling position disengaged from the slip coupling and rotationally coupled to the arbor. | 12-25-2014 |
20140377025 | POWER DRILL - A power drill has a rotatable spindle extending from a power-unit housing, a chuck body rotationally fixed to the spindle, a jaw guide carried on the chuck body and rotatable relative thereto about the axis, jaws carried in the chuck body, and a pusher element rotatable about the axis in the chuck body and fixed to and bearing axially on the jaws. Screwthreads between the pusher element and the spindle is effective to move the jaws radially on rotation of the spindle about the axis relative to the guide. A coupling sleeve rotationally fixed to the jaw guide is movable between a tightening position rotationally fixed to the housing for movement of the jaws by the pusher element on rotation of the spindle and a drilling position rotationally fixed to the spindle and rotatable relative to the guide for joint rotation of the guide, jaws, and spindle. | 12-25-2014 |
