Abstract

The present clamping device is intended for releasably connecting a driving member, such as a shaft driving a drill bit, in a force transmitting manner to a tubular driven member, such as the boring pipe or tube. A clamping body fits into the free end of the tubular member in a centering manner. The drill shaft may be secured to the centering, clamping body, for example, by a threading. The centering body has a ring groove which receives a clamping ring having a wedging slot extending axially through the clamping ring. A wedge may be forced into the wedging slot by means of a screw, whereby the clamping ring is expanded radially outwardly to connect the centering clamping body to the tubular member.
