Hammer drill chuck
First Claim
1. A chuck, comprising:
- a chuck body rotatable about an axis and provided with a through-passage in direction of said axis;
holding means provided in elongation of said through-passage in said body for retaining an implement, said chuck body being formed with at least one channel leading to said holding means adjacent to said through-passage; and
tightening means cooperating with said holding means for locking and loosening the implement retained within said holding means and having a plurality of discharge openings extending in the direction of said axis, said tightening means embracing said chuck body at a distance so as to define an annular space therebetween which is in communication with said discharge openings and said channel, whereby any detritus may be discharged through said at least one channel, annular space and openings to the exterior of the chuck, said tightening means including an actuating sleeve having an inner side provided with a toothed skirt defining gaps between adjacent teeth which gaps are open in the direction of said axis and form a part of said discharge openings, and a locking member engageable with said toothed skirt for preventing a relative motion between said chuck body and said actuating sleeve, and a loosening ring on said chuck body, said loosening ring being axially aligned with said actuating sleeve and having a periphery provided with indentations spaced along said periphery so that respective interstices are defined between said chuck body and said loosening ring, said interstices extending outwardly and being in alignment with said gaps and forming another part of said discharge openings.

Abstract
A drill chuck includes a chuck body connected to a drilling spindle and having a tool holding fixture for retaining a drill bit between jaws. Accommodated in the chuck body is a through-passage which leads to the tool holding fixture and through which the impact of the spindle onto the drill bit is transmitted. A tightening ring is rotatable about the chuck body in order to allow loosening and tightening of the drill bit and is connected to an adjusting sleeve which is arranged at a distance to the chuck body to define an annular space therebetween. In order to allow discharge of any dirt penetrating through the jaws and into the tool holding fixture channels are provided between one end of the annular space and the tool holding fixture. The other end of the annular space is connected to the outside so that dirt can be transported through the channels and the annular space towards the outside.

3. A chuck for a hammer drill, comprising:
-
a chuck body formed with an axial passage aligned and connected with a bore receiving a drill bit, and a plurality of guides inclined toward and opening into said bore remote from said passage; a spindle carrying said chuck body and rotationally connected therewith while being axially displaceable at least limitedly relative to said body so as to transmit impact directly from an end of said spindle to an end of said bit; respective jaws received in said guides for engagement with said bit; and an actuating sleeve rotatably mounted on said body and engaging said jaws for displacing them toward and away from said bit along said guides, said sleeve defining an annular detritus-clearing space around said body opening axially to the exterior of the chuck, said body being formed with a plurality of channels communicating with said space and opening into said bore adjacent said passage to discharge detritus outwardly at least in part by centrifugal forces, said channels extending generally radially and being inclined toward said bore away from said pasage, said actuating sleeve having a ring closing said space at an end proximal to said jaws and provided with formations engaging said jaws, said space being open to the exterior of the chuck at an end opposite said ring, whereby any detritus may be discharged through said channels and said space to the exterior of said chuck, said sleeve having at said end opposite said ring an array of inwardly directed teeth, said space being open to the exterior between said teeth, said body being provided with a locking pin in a blind bore of said body and spring biased into engagement with said teeth for preventing rotation of said sleeve in one direction tending to loosen said bit in said chuck until said pin is pushed into said blind bore, said chuck further comprising a loosening ring rotatable about said body around said pin, said loosening ring having cam formations at spaced intervals for pressing said pin into said blind bore, said loosening ring being provided with recesses between said cam formations communicating between the exterior and interstices between said teeth for discharging detritus. - View Dependent Claims (4)
