Description: |
This patent covers the now-famous Jacobs chuck, still in production over 100 years later."This invention relates to a chuck which has jaws that are movable in recesses inclined to the axis of the body for gripping and releasing the shank of a drill or similar tool. The object of this invention is to construct a strong chuck of this nature with simple, cheap, and convenient means for opening and closing the tool-holding jaws. The body of the chuck that is illustrated as embodying the invention has radial sockets or pins for the reception of the end of a key and rack-teeth on an edge of the nut-sleeve for engagement with gear-teeth on the key, so that when the end of the key is applied to the body and turned the meshing of the gear-teeth and the rack-teeth turn the nut and cause the desired movement of the jaws." |
