ABSTRACT:
A machine spindle is formed with an axially centered forwardly flared large-diameter seat, provided in the seat with at least two axially and radially displaceable spindle jaws, having an axially displaceable actuating rod axially coupled with the jaws, and formed with cam formations engageable with the jaws to move same together on axial rearward displacement. A transfer body or a tool is normally also centered on the axis and formed with an axially centered rearwardly tapered small-diameter stem substantially smaller than the seat. An adapter comprises an adapter body normally centered on the axis and formed with a forwardly open small-diameter adapter seat complementary with the tool stem, a rearwardly projecting adapter stem snugly receivable in the large-diameter seat of the spindle, a flange flatly engageable with the front end of the spindle when the stem is in the spindle seat, and at least one rearwardly projecting tongue having a radially deflectable rear end engageable between a respective one of the jaws and the spindle when the stem is in the spindle seat to press the one jaw radially inward. A connector rod is axially limitedly displaceable in the adapter body between a front position and a rear position and has a rear end formed as a head engageable by the jaws. At least one member engageable between the rod and the tool stem to lock the tool in the adapter seat when the connector rod is in the rear position.
