A chuck device that prevents wear of ratchet teeth is provided. The chuck device includes a rotary sleeve which is rotated so that jaws inserted into a hole provided in a tip end of a body are slidingly opened and closed to thereby clamp a tool. Ratchet teeth forming an annular shape are provided in the body, an annular rotary member threadedly engaged with the jaws and rotated together with the rotary sleeve is fitted around the body inside of the rotary sleeve, a retainer spring member detachably engaging with the ratchet teeth is disposed outside of the ratchet teeth and the retainer spring member is provided so as to rotate a circumference of the ratchet teeth in accordance with the rotation of the rotary member. The ratchet teeth are formed of a harder member than the body, and the harder member is a discrete member from the body.
A chuck device in which a rotary sleeve is rotated so that a plurality of jaws inserted into a hole provided in a tip end of a body is slidingly opened and closed to thereby clamp a tool by the jaws, characterized in that ratchet teeth forming an annular shape are provided in the body, an annular rotary member threadedly engaged with the jaws and rotated together with the rotary sleeve is fitted around the body inside of the rotary sleeve, a retainer spring member detachably engaging with the ratchet teeth is disposed outside of the ratchet teeth, the retainer spring member is provided so as to rotate a circumference of the ratchet teeth in accordance with the rotation of the rotary member, the retainer spring member is mounted on the rotary member by a concave and convex engagement means, furthermore, a holding portion for holding a condition that the ratchet teeth and the retainer spring member are engaged with each other and a condition that a disengagement between the ratchet teeth and the retainer spring member is released and the ratchet teeth are formed of a harder member than the body, and having a strip shape to be wrapped around the circumferential surface of the body, said harder member is a discrete member from the body.
A chuck device in which a rotary sleeve is rotated so that a plurality of jaws inserted into a hole provided in a body is slidingly opened and closed to thereby clamp a tool by the jaws, characterized in that ratchet teeth forming an annular shape are provided in the body, an annular rotary member threadedly engaged with the jaws and rotated together with the rotary sleeve is fitted around the body inside of the rotary sleeve, a retainer spring member detachably engaging with the ratchet teeth is disposed outside of the ratchet teeth, the retainer spring member is composed of two spring members, one of the spring members functions to perform the retaining effect with the ratchet teeth, the other retainer spring member holds the position of the rotary sleeve to thereby function to hold the position of the one retainer spring member, the retainer spring members are provided to rotate around the ratchet teeth according to the rotation of the rotary member, the retainer spring members are mounted on the rotary member by a concave and convex engagement means, a holding portion is provided for holding a condition that the ratchet teeth and the one retainer spring member are engaged with each other and a condition that the engagement between the ratchet teeth and the one retainer spring member is released, the holding portion is disposed between the body and the rotary sleeve and composed of the inner surface of the rotary sleeve and the other retainer spring member, the body is made of light material such as aluminum or aluminum alloy, and the ratchet teeth forming the annular shape are made of a harder material than the body and a discrete member from the body.
