Abstract

Arrangement for holding a tool fitting has a spindle with a forward directed surface and a bore which intersects the forward directed surface and which, starting from such surface, extends rearwardly in order to receive a shaft of the tool fitting. A device for locking the tool fitting with the spindle has an inner and an outer locking element which engage on another. The locking elements act in the manner of a bayonet coupling, wherein a projecting element is disposed in a blind stop groove extending first axially and subsequently radially in a circumferential surface starting from an end face.

Claims (7)

1. Arrangement for holding a tool fitting ( 1 ), in particular for driven tools, the arrangement comprising: a spindle ( 2 ) with a forward directed surface ( 3 ) and a bore ( 4 ) which intersects the forward directed surface and which, starting from such surface, extends rearwardly in order to receive a shaft ( 5 ) of the tool fitting ( 1 ), as well as with a device ( 6 ) for locking the tool fitting with the spindle ( 2 ), in which an inner ( 7 ) and an outer ( 8 ) locking element are provided, which engage with one another, the locking elements ( 7 , 8 ) being implemented such that they act in the manner of a bayonet coupling, wherein a projecting element ( 9 ) is disposed in a blind stop groove ( 12 ) extending first axially subsequently radially in a circumferential surface ( 11 ) starting from an end face ( 10 ), the projecting element ( 9 ) being held movably in an opening ( 13 ) of the spindle ( 2 ), a securement element ( 14 ) being is provided and acting onto the projecting element ( 9 ), the securement element ( 14 ) comprising a manacle ring ( 15 ) with an oblique ramp face ( 16 ) acting onto the projecting element ( 9 ), and a worm gear ( 18 ) acting between the manacle ring ( 15 ) and the spindle ( 2 ).

2. Arrangement as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the projecting element ( 9 ) is disposed in the bore ( 4 ) of the spindle ( 2 ) and the groove ( 12 ) in the circumferential surface ( 11 ) of the shaft ( 5 ) of the tool fitting ( 1 ).

3. Arrangement as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the securement element ( 14 ) includes an engagement ( 17 ) for a clamping key for the adjustment of the manacle ring ( 15 ) relative to the spindle ( 2 ).

4. Arrangement as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the manacle ring ( 15 ) and the spindle ( 2 ) are coaxially screw-connected with one another by means of threads ( 19 ).

5. Arrangement as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the bore ( 4 ) for the reception of the shaft ( 5 ) of the tool fitting ( 1 ) is formed conically and the circumferential surface of the shaft is adapted thereto.

6. Arrangement as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the tool fitting ( 1 ) includes a staying face ( 20 ) for the contact on the forward directed surface ( 3 ) of the spindle ( 2 ).

7. Arrangement as claimed claim 1 , wherein it has a static redundancy of contact faces between spindle ( 2 ) and tool fitting ( 1 ), wherein, after the clamping in particular the conical faces ( 11 , 4 ) of tool fitting ( 1 ) and spindle ( 2 ) as well as also the forward directed surface is formed such that it is in contact with the staying face ( 20 ).
