Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2016012714A1] The invention relates to an instrument (12) which comprises: a tool (24); a tool-holder (26); complementary means (30) for vibrational coupling of the tool (24) to the tool-holder (26) which can be activated by relative movement of the tool (24) and the tool-holder (26) along a vibrational coupling/uncoupling stroke; and complementary releasable means (28) for attaching the tool (24) to the tool-holder (26) allowing, when the tool (24) is attached to the tool-holder (26), the vibrational coupling/uncoupling stroke. The attachment means (28) include two attachment members, male (36) and female (38), which can be attached together by relative movement along an attachment/detachment stroke. Said attachment members (36, 38) cannot be deformed during the attachment/detachment stroke. Said stroke includes an axial component and a component in a plane substantially transverse to the axial component, referred to as the transverse component. The axial and transverse components of the attachment/detachment stroke are defined by complementary interlocking shapes (36F, 38F) provided on the two connection members (36, 38).
