Claim:
A quick-change insert for tools for minimal lubrication, that is designed for detachable mounting in a chuck ( 30 ) provided with a central lubricant channel ( 32 ) and for introducing the lubricant as an aerosol from the lubricant channel ( 32 ) into the rear end of a longitudinal bore ( 14 ) of an inserted tool ( 11 ), wherein a sealing body ( 40 ) is provided having a sleeve ( 42 ) and a central passage ( 41 ), wherein said sealing body ( 40 ) is located in a rear receptacle ( 25 ) of the insert body ( 17 ) such that, when the tool ( 11 ) is inserted and installed in the chuck ( 30 ), said sleeve ( 42 ) with an end ( 43 ) assigned to the rear end ( 13 ) of the tool ( 11 ), is capable of being brought into contact with the tool ( 11 ) and connects the lubricant channel ( 32 ) and the longitudinal bore ( 14 ) of the tool ( 11 ) with each other in an at least substantially leakproof manner, wherein the sealing body ( 40 ) is axially displaceably guided in the receptacle ( 25 ), and wherein the sealing body ( 40 ) is capable of being pressed in a resilient manner against the shank end of the tool ( 11 ) by means of at least one spring ( 48 ) that bears with one end indirectly against the insert body ( 17 ) and, with its other end, acts on the sealing body ( 40 ) in the direction of the shank end of the tool ( 11 ), wherein the sleeve ( 42 ) includes a radially projecting annular part ( 45 ) that performs a centering function inside the receptacle ( 25 ) of the insert body ( 17 ), wherein the one sleeve end ( 43 ) includes a nearly truncated cone-shaped outer surface ( 44 ) and is capable of being moved into a corresponding reverse nearly truncated cone-shaped expansion ( 24 ) of the rear end of the longitudinal bore ( 14 ) of the tool ( 11 ), wherein said sleeve ( 42 ), when installed in the chuck ( 30 ), is capable of being penetrated by a chuck-side tube part ( 33 ) of the lubricant channel ( 32 ) in a longitudinal section of its passage ( 41 ), wherein a guide part ( 46 ) is retained in the receptacle ( 25 ) of the insert body ( 17 ), by way of which the sleeve ( 42 ) is guided in an axially displaceable manner, wherein the guide part ( 46 ) includes a guide sleeve ( 47 ) centered radially in the receptacle ( 25 ) of the insert body ( 17 ), the guide sleeve being positioned on the sleeve ( 42 ) and is penetrated by it, and wherein the at least one spring ( 48 ) is axially supported on the guide part ( 46 ), which is axially supported via a retaining means ( 49 ) on the insert body ( 17 ).
