May 10, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/852936
Inventors:
Mark S. Huggins - Clemson SC
Stephen W. Steadings - Seneca SC
James L. Weinhold - Minnetonka MN
William C. Buck - Clemson SC
Assignee:
Power Tool Holders Incorporated - Christiana DE
International Classification:
B23B 31107

279 22, 279 61, 279 62, 279 82, 279 14, 279137, 279902, 279904
Abstract:
A chuck includes a generally cylindrical body and a plurality of jaws reciprocally disposed in the body in communication with a central bore in the body. A first detent extends radially into the central bore and is releasable in a radially outward direction. Upon insertion of an elongated tool shaft having a polygonal cross section into the bore so that a groove in the tool shaft is aligned with the first detent, the first detent engages the groove and axially retains the tool shaft. Upon movement of the jaws so that the jaw faces engage flat sides of the tool shaft, the jaws rotationally retain the tool shaft.

Assignee:
Eastway Fair Company Limited - Tortola
International Classification:
H01R 13/62
US Classification:
439160
Abstract:
A battery ejection mechanism for ejecting a battery housing removably attached to an electrical device housing. The mechanism includes at least two ejection members, each having a button and an arm. The arms are adapted to transfer a force applied on the buttons to the electrical device housing to provide a pushing force for ejection of the battery pack from the electrical device housing. Force on the buttons also causes associated latches on the battery pack to move to their release position.

Locking Chuck

US Patent:
7128503, Oct 31, 2006
Filed:
Nov 12, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/988045
Inventors:
Stephen W. Steadings - Seneca SC, US
William C. Buck - Clemson SC, US
Christopher B. Barton - Seneca SC, US
Assignee:
Jacobs Chuck Manufacturing Company - Clemson SC
International Classification:
B23B 31/12
US Classification:
408240, 279 62, 279902
Abstract:
A chuck for use with a manual or powered driver having a housing and a rotatable drive shaft extending therefrom is provided. The chuck includes a generally cylindrical body member having a nose section and a tail section. Each of a plurality of jaws is slidably positioned in one of a plurality of angularly disposed passageways in the body. Each jaw has a jaw face formed on one side thereof and threads formed on the opposite side thereof. A nut is rotatably mounted on the body in engagement with the jaw threads so that rotation of the nut moves the jaws axially within the passageways. A locking member, in a first axial position, is rotatable with respect to the driver housing. In a second axial position, it operatively engages the housing and the nut so that the locking member is rotationally held to the housing and the nut so that the nut is rotationally held to the housing. The locking member is axially reciprocal between the first axial position and the second axial position.
