Lathe-Chuck

W. E. Simonds, patent attorney
My improvement relates to that class of combination-chucks:
i.e., those which may be changed from universal to independent, and vice versa, which have an annular gear for engaging with pinions on the various screws which operate the jaws and a loose ring back of the annular gear for use in meshing and unmeshing the annular gear from such pinions. The improvement is a device different from those which have preceded it for causing the meshing and unmeshing of said annular gear and said pinions. |
