  • Publication number: 20170005431
    Abstract: A cable connector includes a metal housing, conductive terminals, and contact members. The metal housing includes a first end and a second end opposite to the first end. An accommodation space is formed for communicating with the first end and the second end. The conductive terminals are configured to clamp cables, and each conductive terminal includes a clamp portion, a containing portion, and an engaging portion. The clamp portion and the engaging portion are disposed at two ends of the containing portion, respectively. At least one slot is formed on the engaging portion. Each contact member passes through the accommodation space from the first end and is inserted into the engaging portion. An outside surface of the contact member contacts an inner surface of the engaging portion by making surface-to-surface contact, thereby reducing a resistance value to permit efficient power transmission.

  • Patent number: 9511485
    Abstract: A wrench includes a handle having a notch, a radial hole, and an axial hole communicated with the notch and the radial hole, a wrench head pivotally connected with the notch by a pivot part on which a first positioning teeth part is provided, and a positioning assembly including a positioning member disposed inside the axial hole, and two control bolts disposed inside the radial hole. The positioning member has two first abutting members and a second positioning teeth part engaged with the first positioning teeth part. Each control bolt has a second abutting member abutted against one of the first abutting members of the positioning member. By such arrangements, when both of the two control bolts are pressed, the positioning of the wrench head by the positioning member can be released for facilitating adjustment of the operation angle of the wrench head.

  • Patent number: 9505105
    Abstract: A rotatable handle for a wrench includes a fixation rod, a first handle body, and a second handle body. An end of the first handle body is rotatably and axially movably sleeved onto to an end of the fixation rod, and the other end of the first handle body is adapted for being fixed with a wrench head. An end of the second handle body is rotatably and axially movably sleeved onto the other end of the fixation rod, and the other end of the second handle body is adapted for being fixed with another wrench head. Therefore, the relative angle between the two wrench heads can be adjusted appropriately by the relative rotation of the first handle body and the second handle body.

  • Patent number: 9364943
    Abstract: A quick rotatable wrench includes a first bar including a first position limit portion and a rotary connector, a second bar including a second position limit portion having a shape complementary to the first position limit portion and a recessed accommodation chamber, and a position limit device to secure the rotary connector to the inside of the recessed accommodation chamber in such a manner that the first bar is movable relative to the second bar between an engaged position where the first and second position limit portions are engaged together to secure the first bar and the second bar together and a released position where the first and second position limit portions are disengaged from each other and the rotary connector is rotatable in the recessed accommodation chamber for allowing relative rotation between the first bar and the second bar.

  • Publication number: 20160052123
    Abstract: A rotary wrench includes a first wrench body, a second wrench body, and an elastic member. The first wrench body has a first grip whose one end has a pivot hole. The second wrench body has a second grip whose one end has a pivot axially extending outward. The pivot is rotatably received in the pivot hole of the first grip of the first wrench body, so that the first and second wrench bodies are allowed to rotate with respect to each other and provide adjustable working angles. The elastic member is mounted around the pivot of the second wrench body, and prop between the first grip of the first wrench body and the second grip of the second wrench body, for providing an elastic resistance that holds the first and second wrench bodies in position.

  • Publication number: 20160016305
    Abstract: A flip-flop toolbox includes a first bar including a first box member, a second box member, and a hinge including a first pivot axle perpendicularly and fixedly connected with one end thereof to one side of the first box member, an axle holder pivotally connected to an opposite end of the first pivot axle and two second pivot axles pivotally mounted in two opposite sides of the axle holder and fixedly connected to one side of the second box member in a perpendicular relationship relative to the extending direction of the first pivot axle. Thus, the second box member can be turned about the second pivot axles relative to the first box member to an extended position, and then turned with the axle holder about the first pivot axle through 180° relative to the first box member and then closely attached to the first box member.

  • Publication number: 20150158188
    Abstract: Force-boosted shears capable of puling nails are formed of two handles, two cutting members, a connection unit, and a nail-pulling portion. Each of the handles includes a first pivotal portion and a second pivotal portion at one end thereof. The first pivotal portions are pivotably connected with each other. Each of the cutting members includes a first pivoting part, a second pivoting part, and a cutting portion. The first pivoting parts are pivotably connected to the connection unit. The second pivoting parts are pivotably connected to the second pivotal portions of the two handles, respectively. Each of the cutting portions includes a blade facing the other. The nail-pulling portion is located at at least one of the blades. In light of this, the force-boosted shears can shear things and pull nails.
