Title: Improvements in Concentric Adjusting Mechanism for Chucks Tool Heads and the like.
Inventor: MATTHES ERNST
Filed: 1908-06-11
Granted: 1909-05-13
Abstract: 12,581. Matthes, E., and Albrecht, C. June 11. Chucks; toolholders; drills; screwing. - Tools, cutter-blades, chuck jaws, &c. are formed with o b - lique slots engaging studs on disks or key in the holders for concent r i c adjustment w i t b a wedging action. Asapplied to a drill chuck, the jaws a<3>, Figs. 1 and 3, are formed with grooves b engaging studs d on a key c rotated by a worm and wheel c<3>. To secure a greater range of adjustment, a second set of pins may enter the grooves as the first set leave. The second set of pins may engage a different set of grooves, or a number of grooves in each jaw &c. may each be in engagement with a pin at the same time. A boring-head is made in two parts 3, 4, Fig. 7, screwed together. The part 4 is rotated to effect the adjustment and is locked after adjustment by the part 3. The cutters are further clamped by a pin 1 and wedge 2. In a self-clamping drill chuck, the jaws are adjusted by the disk c, Fig. 9, normally held down by a spring 11. The disk has an extension with inclined slots f engaging studs h, which slide in vertical slots in the chuckbody, so that end pressure when drilling forces the disk to move slightly upwards and consequently to rotate and clamp the drill. Rollers g<2> on the ends of the studs engage inclined grooves in a sleeve 9 to provide for opening by hand. A spring 10 normally holds the chuck closed. When applied to a self-opening die-bead, the key or stud ring is normally held in the 'die-open' position by a spring, but is locked in the closed position by pins passing through holes in the die-head and stud ring. The pins are carried by a sleeve on the die-head, which is operated to release the stud. ring by any known thread-determining means. The pins may have an eccentric portion to provide for setting the dies for a roughing or finishing cut by rotating the pins. A scale may be provided on the die-head co-acting with an index line on the stud ring to indicate the setting of the dies.
