DEVICE FOR REMOVABLE ATTACHMENT OF BENDING TOOL Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC B21D5/01 

FIELD: metallurgy; deformation of metals.

SUBSTANCE: tool holder contains a clamping base with the first clamping surface intended for the interaction with one of the parallel surfaces of the tool, and a clamping pad for clamping the tool, installed so that it may be rotated on a hinge and having the second clamping surface. The said pad is designed so that it may take the first position corresponding to tool clamping, in which the parallel surfaces of the tool are clamped between the first and second clamping surfaces, and the second position corresponding to the tool installation/removal, in which its clamping surface is withdrawn from the first clamping surface. The device also contains a holding element with multiple elastically deformed plates parallel to one another and installed in the same plane. Each plate has the first end rigidly connected to a crossbar, an intermediate part, which abuts the first parallel surface of the tool in the free state, and the second end having at least the first part bent at an angle towards the tool relative to the intermediate part, and the second part bent at an angle in the opposite direction so that the said parts bent at an angle may be held elastically in the receiving groove of the tool when the said plate is in the free state; in the tool installation/removal position of the said pad, the intermediate part of the plate may be elastically deformed for the installation of the said elastically deformed plate parts bent at an angle into the receiving groove and their removal from the groove.

EFFECT: increase in efficiency; simplification of design.
