Patent EP-1369194-A2 (EP)
Inventor: HOLLAND MATTHEW J
IPC: B23B31/107
Filed: 1999-06-25
Abstract: A "snap-in" bit chuck assembly 10 for a rotary hand or powered tool, includes a
body 20 having a hex shank 22 at its rearward end, a retraction collar 30 slidably
disposed on the body, and an outer retaining collar 70 fixed to the forward end of the
body. The body has a coaxial hex socket 24 formed therein to allow a tool bit 14 to be
inserted thereinto. A slot 50 is formed in the body, between the outer surface of the
body and the internal hex socket 24. A coil spring 40 surrounds the body, inside the
retraction collar 30, and normally biases the retraction collar forwardly and biases a
retaining clip 60 toward the bottom of the angular slot. The retaining clip slides
outwardly in the angular slot, against the bias of the coil spring, as the tool bit 14 is
inserted, where a recess 16 on the shank 15 of the bit is engaged and retained by the
clip. The bit is removed by sliding the retraction collar rearwardly, to compress the coil
spring and allow the retaining clip to retract back up the slot. The clip is directly
engaged by the coil spring and has two legs 64 extending about the body so that the
clip is self-retaining. The clip legs 64 extend around the body such that the retraction
force on the coil spring is directed through the center of the coil spring to keep it
coaxially aligned with the body. Corners 66 of the clip serve as "stops" for the
retraction collar to prevent over-retraction and consequent jamming. The coil spring
can be provided with "dead coils" 42, 44 at its ends so it flatly abuts the clip, thus
keeping the coil spring and the retraction collar properly aligned. A polymeric cover 38,
preferably formed by a two-step process, is retained on the periphery of the retraction
collar. The preferred polymeric cover includes a molded base layer, over which an
outer layer is molded, with the base and outer layers being of contrasting colors and
with a portion of the base layer protruding through the outer layer. This preferred
protruding portion of the base layer is flush with the outer surface of the outer layer so
it can be used to display an indicia of the manufacturer of the chuck assembly.

Abstract: Methods and devices for the measurement of molecular binding interactions. Preferred embodiments provide real-time measurements of kinetic binding and disassociation of molecules including binding and disassociation of protein molecules with other protein molecules and with other molecules.In preferred embodiments ligands are immobilized within pores of a porous silicon interaction region produced in a silicon substrate, after which analytes suspended in a fluid are flowed over the porous silicon region. Binding reactions occur when analyte molecules duffuse closely enough to the ligands to become bounds. Preferably the binding and subsequent disassociation reactions are observed utilizing a white light source and thin film interference techniques with spectrometers arranged to detect changes in indices of refraction in the region where the binding and disassociation reactions occur. In preferred embodiments both ligands and analytes are delivered by computer controlled robotic fluid flow control techniques to the porous silicon interaction regions through microfluidic flow channels.
