Description: |
"My invention relates to a new and useful attachment for drill and lathe chucks, for the purpose of operating the jaws of the chuck to and from each other; and this my invention consists of a detachable bearing, in which is located a worm-shaft operated by means of a suitable handle, in combination with a worm-gear on the back plate or movable part of the chuck, by which arrangement the chuck can be very easily operated, so as to open or close the jaws simply by temporarily attaching the detachable bearing carrying the worm-shaft, and turning the handle thereof in the desired direction..." |
