A hand held capper that will engage a cap for tightening the cap onto a container is provided and includes a clutch mechanism that will sense the torque between the cap and a neck of the container and will allow a cap driver chuck with an elastic chuck insert thereon to stop rotating once the desired torque is reached while allowing a spindle shaft from a drive unit to continue to rotate.
Improved chucks for supporting elongate objects having conical end portions, such as single crystal ingots of semiconductor material, while such objects are held and rotated, as in a lathe. A base portion of the chuck includes bores to accept fasteners to fasten the base to a headstock or tailstock of a lathe. The base includes a receptacle for holding an annular chuck insert which has a conical socket surface to engage the body, such as a conical end portion of a single crystal ingot, to be held and rotated. Alternatively, the base may have three or more rollers spaced equally about a central axis and rotatable about roller axes all located in a plane perpendicular to the central axis.

A flat elastic membrane is fixed to an inelastic edge surrounding a cavity on a coupling element. The elastic membrane can be pressed onto twist closures of different types and sizes to permit transmission of torsional force from the coupling element to the twist closures.
A fluid deflection device for use in a work piece holder during a semiconductor wafer grinding process is disclosed. The fluid deflection device includes an annular, upstanding splash fence, and an attachment portion associated with the splash fence and configured to attach to the work piece holder, thereby to hold the splash fence in a position to inhibit fluid from flowing between rotatable and non-rotatable parts of the work piece holder.
