Even if the coupling surface of an arm side attachment and a tool side
attachment is directed in a direction other than the horizontal
direction, the tool side attachment can be automatically separated and
detached from the arm side attachment. When exchanging a tool, the worker
does not have to forcibly pull out and detach a tool side attachment from
an arm side attachment, a tool can be exchanged automatically, and the
exchange work can be performed easily in a short period of time. When the
cam member 17 is shifted from the unlocking position to the locking
position, locking balls 13 which slide on locking inclined tapered
surfaces 17a to be shifted to the outside along the radius direction are
engaged with engaging inclined tapered surface 23a so as to mutually
couple an arm side attachment 3 and a tool side attachment 5. When the
cam member 17 is shifted from the locking position to the unlocking
position, the engagement of the locking balls 13 with respect to the
engaging inclined tapered surfaces 23a is released, and unlocking balls
15 which slide on thrusting inclined tapered surfaces 17b to be shifted
to the outside along the radius direction slide on the separating
inclined tapered surfaces 23b to enable to thrust the tool side
attachment 5 from the arm side attachment 3.
