A device for releasably holding a core or the like relative to a drive shaft passing therethrough includes at least two clamping elements located within the core. Guide pieces are fixed to a ring disc which surrounds a ring connected to the drive shaft. These guide pieces allow the clamping elements to move radially relative to the drive shaft and hold the core. A friction brake is provided to brake the ring relative to the ring disc. Also a locking, pawl arrangement is provided to selectively prevent the ring disc from rotating with the drive shaft. Accordingly back, slipping is prevented which undesirably loosens the core from the clamping elements.

Why it's free to use
- Filed November 2, 1989 and granted July 26, 1994. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended November 2, 2009.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by November 2, 2011.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
