Abstract
Abstract A chuck which can be clamped into a spindle of a machine tool and which is for use with a cutting tool having a shaft with a circular cross section. The chuck includes a body provided with a central bore having an end region in which the surface of the central bore is conically shaped for receiving the shaft of the cutting tool. The body includes a shaft projecting toward its rear side. The shaft is configured to be clamped into the spindle of the machine tool and is provided with a further bore. A clamping screw is disposed in the further bore of the shaft and has a head which is accessible from the front side of the body. A pull rod is displaceably disposed in the central bore and has a threaded end extending into the end region of the central bore for connection to the shaft of the cutting tool. An attachment mechanism is provided for attaching the pull rod to the clamping screw so that displacement of the clamping screw in the further bore causes displacement of the pull rod in the central bore.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
223 words
A chuck adapted to be clamped into a spindle of a machine tool and adapted for use with a cutting tool having a shaft with a circular cross section which is provided with an internal tightening thread, comprising: a body having a front side and a rear side and being provided with a central bore having an outwardly conically widening end region at said front side for receiving the shaft of the cutting tool; a shaft portion forming part of said body and extending toward said rear side and configured to be clamped into the spindle of the machine tool; and a further bore contained in said shaft portion; a clamping screw disposed in the further bore of said shaft portion being provided with a radially constricted region and having a head accessible from the direction of said front side; a pull rod displaceably disposed in the central bore and having a threaded end extending into the end region of the central bore for connection to the shaft of the cutting tool; and attachment means which includes a fork which passes around said constricted region of said clamping screw for coupling said pull rod to said clamping screw for causing displacement of said pull rod in said central bore in the direction of said rear side by said clamping screw upon tightening thereof.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
223 words
A chuck adapted to be clamped into a spindle of a machine tool and adapted for use with a cutting tool having a shaft with a circular cross section which is provided with an internal tightening thread, comprising: a body having a front side and a rear side and being provided with a central bore having an outwardly conically widening end region at said front side for receiving the shaft of the cutting tool; a shaft portion forming part of said body and extending toward said rear side and configured to be clamped into the spindle of the machine tool; and a further bore contained in said shaft portion; a clamping screw disposed in the further bore of said shaft portion being provided with a radially constricted region and having a head accessible from the direction of said front side; a pull rod displaceably disposed in the central bore and having a threaded end extending into the end region of the central bore for connection to the shaft of the cutting tool; and attachment means which includes a fork which passes around said constricted region of said clamping screw for coupling said pull rod to said clamping screw for causing displacement of said pull rod in said central bore in the direction of said rear side by said clamping screw upon tightening thereof.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
44 words
A chuck as defined in claim 1, wherein said body includes a projecting portion extending from said shaft portion towards said front side, said projecting portion having a maximum diameter that is smaller than the largest diameter of the shaft portion of said body.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
20 words
A chuck as defined in claim 2, wherein said projecting portion has an outer surface tapering toward said front side.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
51 words
A chuck as defined in claim 2, wherein said body includes a radially projecting flange member disposed between said projecting portion and said shaft portion and includes a frontal face oriented towards said front side; the further bore passing through said radially projecting flange member and opening into said frontal face.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
56 words
A chuck as defined in claim 1, wherein said shaft portion includes a recess connecting the central bore with the further bore and said attachment means extends radially beyond said pull rod into the recess, the recess being sufficiently spacious to permit movement of said attachment means parallel to an axial direction of the central bore.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
39 words
A chuck as defined in claim 5, wherein said pull rod has a longitudinal axis and includes a recess transverse to said longitudinal axis and said attachment means includes a lever passing through the recess in said pull rod.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
47 words
A chuck as defined in claim 1, wherein said central bore and said further bore have longitudinal axes, further wherein the longitudinal axis of the central bore and the longitudinal axis of the further bore are inclined towards one another in the direction toward said rear side.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
18 words
A chuck as defined in claim 1, wherein said attachment means is disposed only in the central bore.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
53 words
A chuck as defined in claim 1, and further including a locking screw supported in said body and extending into said central bore, wherein said pull rod has a longitudinal axis and includes a longitudinal groove extending parallel with said longitudinal axis and said locking screw is disposed for projecting into the groove.
