Abstract
A tool-clamping device for a hand tool machine with a rotary drive spindle includes a tool-clamping set having an outer sleeve mounted on an inner sleeve which serves to clamp a tool to be used and a locking plate which is pivotal relatively to a housing of the tool machine to lock the outer sleeve when the latter is adjusted on the spindle to a predetermined position in an axial direction or to release the outer sleeve for enabling an operator to quickly change a tool to be used in the hand tool machine.
Claims8
A tool clamping device for a tool machine, particularly for use in hand tool machines having a housing, and a tool drive with a rotary drive spindle, comprising tool-receiving means adapted to clamp a tool to be used, said tool-receiving means being arranged so as to be moved relative to said drive spindle in an axial direction and to be selectively coupled with said drive spindle to permit relatively quick change of a tool to be used without utilization of a chuck;
- and locking means adapted to be selectively positioned between a locking position to limit the axial movement of said tool-receiving means and a released position to release said tool-receiving means to thereby permit relatively quick change of a tool to be used, said locking means including a locking plate and an axle mounted on said housing, said locking plate being arranged to pivot about said axle between said locking and released positions, said spindle being provided with a longitudinal recess, and said tool-receiving means including an outer sleeve having a radially outwardly extended flange and an inner sleeve threadably positioned within said outer sleeve and having a first end portion extending into said recess, a second end portion adapted to receive a tool to be used and a shaped intermediate portion.
