ABSTRACT:
A self-locking tool and socket body combination includes a tool holder with a male section which may be received in a socket in the socket body. Tool grippers of a tool loading device grip onto an annular V-groove on the tool holder and also act on an actuator. The actuator is linked to a first and second wedge surface which are moved laterally inwardly against the urging of spring means. When the tool grippers are released, the spring means urge the first and second wedge surfaces laterally outwardly into engagement with first and second wedge follower surfaces in the socket body and this automatically locks the tool holder axially within the socket body without any other manual or automatic means required to lock the tool holder within the socket.
