Abstract
Abstract This invention relates to a device for detachably fixing or locating a part on a pin or shaft by means of a locking ring engaging with the part to be fixed or located, the locking ring resting against a support displaceable in relation to the pin or shaft and acted upon by a spring, while the support can be moved by the action of a pressure medium against the force of the spring so as to enable the locking ring to be released and in which a special actuator is provided for moving the support against the spring force.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
133 words
A device for detachably fixing or locating a part on a shaft comprising locking ring engaging with the part to be fixed, the locking ring resting on a support located on and displaceable or means projecting from the shaft and said support being biased by a spring toward the part being fixed said support being movable away from the part by the action of a pressure fluid against the force of the spring so as to enable the locking ring to be released, an actuator for moving the support against the spring force, the actuator having two parts capable of relative motion by the action of a pressure fluid, one of these parts being connected to the support while the other part rests against the end of the means projecting from the shaft.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
133 words
A device for detachably fixing or locating a part on a shaft comprising locking ring engaging with the part to be fixed, the locking ring resting on a support located on and displaceable or means projecting from the shaft and said support being biased by a spring toward the part being fixed said support being movable away from the part by the action of a pressure fluid against the force of the spring so as to enable the locking ring to be released, an actuator for moving the support against the spring force, the actuator having two parts capable of relative motion by the action of a pressure fluid, one of these parts being connected to the support while the other part rests against the end of the means projecting from the shaft.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
