Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim 178 words
A drill chuck comprising a body part; jaws slidably mounted for converging movement in respective guides in said body part; a nut member rotatably mounted on said body part but axially located in a circumferential groove encircling said body part, said nut member having screw-threaded engagement with said jaw members; a gear element with which an extraneous chuck key may be engaged for adjusting the jaws, said gear element being formed integrally with the nut member, the two being formed in halves so that the nut member can be located in the circumferential groove encircling the body part; and a generally cylindrical sleeve connected to said nut member and extending rearwardly of the body part to rotatably engage a cylindrical portion of the body part remote from said nut member, said sleeve being made as a pressing from light gauge metal plate and having a completely inturned edge at the end which tightly encircles at least a part of the gear element and which holds the two halves of the integrally formed nut member and gear element together.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 178 words
A drill chuck comprising a body part; jaws slidably mounted for converging movement in respective guides in said body part; a nut member rotatably mounted on said body part but axially located in a circumferential groove encircling said body part, said nut member having screw-threaded engagement with said jaw members; a gear element with which an extraneous chuck key may be engaged for adjusting the jaws, said gear element being formed integrally with the nut member, the two being formed in halves so that the nut member can be located in the circumferential groove encircling the body part; and a generally cylindrical sleeve connected to said nut member and extending rearwardly of the body part to rotatably engage a cylindrical portion of the body part remote from said nut member, said sleeve being made as a pressing from light gauge metal plate and having a completely inturned edge at the end which tightly encircles at least a part of the gear element and which holds the two halves of the integrally formed nut member and gear element together.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 34 words
A drill chuck according to claim 1, in which the generally cylindrical sleeve has been formed with a series of flutes which strengthen the wall of said sleeve and provide a convenient gripping surface.
