  • the hollow spindle nut 7 is constructed also on the side which faces the outer end 4a of the drive spindle as a coupling part.
  • the spindle nut 7 is provided with coupling noses 12.
  • a coupling sleeve 13 is axially movable and secured against rotation relative to the sleeve 6 and cooperates with the aforementioned coupling part.

  • two axial longitudinal slots 17 are provided in the coupling sleeve 13 for passage of the carrier bolt 5 so that. prior to the start of the chucking operation, the distance onof said coupling sleeve I3 from the coupling nut 7 can be adjusted from zero to a maximum amount by rotating a locking ring I8 relative to the sleeve 6.
  • the rotatable locking ring 18 is arranged between the sleeve o and the coupling sleeve 13, which locking ring 18 is supported axially on a collar 19 of the coupling sleeve 13 and has at least one thread groove 18a on the periphery thereof.
  • two thread grooves 18a are provided into which extend radial guide pins 20 which are secured in the sleeve 6.
  • a locking device is provided between the locking ring 18 and the coupling sleeve 13 to lock the locking ring in various rotary positions.
  • This locking device consists of axially extending grooves 21 which are provided in the locking ring and a leaf spring 22 which is secured on the coupling sleeve 13 and which is received in said grooves.
  • one marking 23 is provided on the front side of the coupling sleeve 13 and six markings to on the locking ring l8..ln the illustrated embodiment (FIGS. 1 and 2), the maximum chucking pressure 5 is being exerted, namely the marking 5 of the locking ring is aligned with the marking 23 of the coupling sleeve. At this adjustment a maximum distance a between the coupling sleeve 13 and coupling nut 7 is adjusted.

  • the hollow spindle 1 stops. During further rotation of the handcrank the friction coupling 9 releases so that then the drive spindle 4 is screwed into the stationary nut 7 and the pressure member 2 is advanced by the spindle end 4/; and thus a pressure multiplication is achieved. Since during the rotation of the coupling sleeve 13 with the handcrank 3, said coupling sleeve 13 is simultaneously moved in direction A then finally the coupling noses l2 and 14 of the coupling parts 7 and l3 engage one another. Since, however, the hollow spindle I'with the nut 7 is now stationary, the coupling noses 12 form a fixed stop for the coupling noses 14 (see FIG. 3, longitudinal cross-sectional view).
  • the'coupling sleeve I3 can only be rotated until it reaches this fixed stop.
  • the tension of the pressure multiplying mechanism depending on the aforementioned adjustment is limited to a certain value which can even be reduced to zero.
  • the adjustment of 0 to 5 can thereby be adjusted stcplessly to any desired maximum pressure tension.
  • the desired maximum tension of the pressure multiplying mechanism is first adjusted by rotating the locking ring 18 relative to the sleeve 6. Then by applying pressure onto the handcrank 3 in axial direction A, the coupling sleeve 13 is moved against the pressure of the springs 24 until these two coupling parts abut one another and the coupling noses l2 and 14 cooperate so that therewith the two coupling parts 7 and 13 are connected with one another. By rotating the handcrank 3 in this position, the hollow spindle l is then rotated and therewith a sufficiently high pretension is produced which effects the compression of the flexible workpiece, for example of the sheet pack.
  • a nose 26 is provided on said handcrank which nose can be inserted into a groove 27 of the locking ring.
  • a drive spindlemechanism for opening and closing a vise having means defining a hollow spindle which is adapted to be rotatably driven by means of a handcrank through means defining a drive spindle and a torque coupling releasable upon the application of a predetermined amount of torque thereto, said hollow spindle means including means defining an internally threaded nut fixedly mounted thereon, said drive spindle means including a drive spindle and means defining an external thread thereon threadedly engaging said internal thread of said nut means, a longitudinally movable force applying pressure member and a plurality of toggle lever means cxpandible in length in response to an axial movement of said pressure member relative to said hollow spindle means caused by an application of said predetermined amount of torque to thereby permit a relative rotation between said drive spindle and said nut means. the improvement comprising:
