Abstract
A clamping tool includes a holder, a connector and a tool. The holder has a rearwardly tapering bore and a holder thread having a first pitch. The connector has a cylindrical shape and a connector through bore. The connector further has a first connector thread having a pitch similar to the first pitch, and a second connector thread having a second pitch that is different from the first pitch. The tool has a rearwardly tapering rear portion and a tool thread having a pitch similar to the second pitch. In an assembled position, the rearwardly tapering rear portion of the tool abuts the rearwardly tapering bore of the holder, the holder thread is threadingly engaged with the first connector thread, and the tool thread is threadingly engaged with the second connector thread.
Claims25
A clamping tool (10, 110, 210) having an axis of rotation (A) and comprising:
- a holder (14, 114, 214) having a rearwardly tapering bore (18) that extends rearwardly from a front end (20, 120) of the holder (14, 114, 214), the rearwardly tapering bore (18) tapering rearwardly at a first angle (α), the holder (14, 114, 214) being provided with a holder thread (26, 126) having a first pitch (28);
- a connector (16, 116) having a 360° peripheral surface (30) with a generally cylindrical shape and a connector through bore (34) that extends from a front end (36) of the connector (16, 116) to a rear end (38) of the connector (16, 116), the connector (16, 116) having a first connector thread (40, 140) with a pitch similar to the first pitch (28), and a second connector thread (42, 142) with a second pitch (44) which differs from the first pitch (28);
- a tool (12, 112, 212) having a rearwardly tapering rear portion (56), the rearwardly tapering rear portion (56) tapering rearwardly at a second angle (β), the tool (12, 112, 212) being provided with a tool thread (58) having a pitch similar to the second pitch (44);
- wherein in an assembled position:
- the rearwardly tapering rear portion (56) of the tool (12, 112, 212) abuts the rearwardly tapering bore (18) of the holder (14, 114, 214);
- the holder thread (26, 126) is threadingly engaged with the first connector thread (40, 140);
- and
- the tool thread (58) is threadingly engaged with the second connector thread (42, 142).
