Abstract
A drill chuck has a body centered on and rotatable about an axis and formed with a plurality of angled guides opening axially forward at a front chuck end and holding respective jaws and radially displaceable jaws each formed with a row of teeth. A metallic inner ring axially fixed but rotatable about the axis on the body has a screwthread meshing with the teeth so that rotation of the inner ring displaces the jaws in their guides. An adjustment sleeve rotatable about the axis on the body has a hard outer part and an inner part of a softer material fixed on the outer part. A metallic intermediate ring fixed on the inner ring has formations coupled to the hard outer part. The inner part rides on the intermediate ring.
