Abstract
An adapter for rotationally fixed connection of a rotary tool to a rotary drive member includes an intermediate part coupled in rotationally fixed relation to a rotary drive coupling part by a first slide guide while permitting displacement of the intermediate part in a first direction transverse to the longitudinal axis of the adapter and coupled in rotationally fixed relation to a rotary tool by a second slide guide permitting displacement of the tool coupling part relative to the intermediate part in a second direction transverse to the longitudinal axis of the adapter and perpendicular to the first direction. By providing transverse slide guides for the intermediate part, the tool coupling part is mounted in a radially floating manner inside a housing part.
Claims5
An adapter for rotationally fixed connection of a rotary tool to a rotary drive member comprising:
- a rotary drive coupling part capable of being fixed to the rotary drive member;
- a housing part;
- a tool coupling part connected by an intermediate part in rotationally fixed relation to the rotary drive coupling part;
- a first slide guide coupling the intermediate part to the rotary drive coupling part while permitting displacement of the intermediate part in a first direction transverse to the longitudinal axis of the adapter;
- and
- a second slide guide coupling the tool coupling part to the intermediate part while permitting displacement of the tool coupling part relative to the intermediate part in a second direction transverse to the longitudinal axis of the adapter.
An adapter according to claim I wherein the rotary drive coupling part comprises a projecting coupling web engaging a first transverse groove in the intermediate part and the tool coupling part comprises a projecting coupling web engaging a second transverse groove in the intermediate part which extends perpendicular to the first transverse groove.
