Abstract
Abstract A device for the quick change of toolholders comprises a support having a conical recess receiving a conical member that has a neck having a T-shaped head. The support has a washer with a slot disposed at right angles to the head and through which the head can pass only upon rotation through 90*. A nut is screwthreadedly received in the support and receives the T-shaped head through a slot through which the head falls upon rotation of the nut followed by pressure of the nut against the head in a disengaging direction. The T-shaped head falls on the washer, and the conical portion is rotated 90* to withdraw the head through the washer slot.
