Description:
Pratt summarizes the claims for this patent:

"The combination of the slotted body A and shell D, secured rigidly thereon, with the jaws CC, capable of free and independent movement in the slot a, and screw-threaded spindle B, which acts against the bases of the jaws, and closes them by forcing them forward and their inclined sides against the shell D ... ."

Figure 6 (jpg 2) purports to show how the loose jaws allow this chuck to also grip tapered square bit tangs.

A known example, mounted on an archimedean drill, is marked:
