<p>A chuck 30 is formed with a generally cylindrical body 54 formed with a bore 60 at a forward end 58 thereof. A fixed clamp segment 134 and a movable clamp segment 166 are located in radial opposition in the bore 60. A pair of ribs 142 are formed on the fixed segment 134 and extend radially inward. A single rib 172 is formed on the movable segment 166 and extends radially inward. The ribs 142 and 172 cooperate to clamp a shank 42 therebetween in a clamping mode. A sleeve 78 is positioned about the body and is movable axially relative thereto. A camming section 88 formed on an interior wall of the sleeve 78 is captured between a head 124 of a pin 122 and a detent ring 132 to latch the sleeve in an unclamped mode. When the shank 42 is inserted into the bore 60, the forward end of the shank engages the pin 122 to move the head 124 against the camming section 88 which, in turn, moves the section past the detent ring. In this manner, the sleeve 78 is unlatched and moved forward to compress a plurality of rollers 196 against the fixed segment 134 and the movable segment 166 to place the sleeve in a clamped mode, whereby the shank 42 is clamped.</p> |
