| Description: |  | The purpose of this chuck is the same as Leland's earlier patent 857947. It differs in that the jaws are not held apart at their base by a spring. Rather, they are attached to resilient arms, on their outer surfaces, by means of a loose pin which allows them to pivot and slide. The jaws are, therefore, free to conform to a straight or tapered shank, with uniform pressure being attained by being trapped between the inclined surfaces of the jaw seat and sleeve. |  |
