Claim 6:
7. A passive locking chuck for a rotary driver comprising:
a main body having an upper portion and a lower portion;
an opening in the lower portion, the opening having a first plurality of recesses formed on an inner surface thereof; and
a movable ring, contained within main body, above the opening, the movable ring having a second plurality of recesses and operable to rotate within the main body from a first orientation where the second plurality of recesses are aligned with the first plurality of recesses to a second orientation where the second plurality of recesses are offset from the first plurality of recesses, wherein the chuck is loaded by inserting a driving end of the foundation component into opening until it contacts the movable ring and twisting the foundation component in a first direction to move the ring from the first orientation to the second orientation and, further wherein, rotating the chuck in the first direction moves the movable ring back to the first orientation when the foundation component encounters resistance to the chuck's rotation.
