Abstract: A ratcheting tool comprises a drive housing provided with a housing cover and an actuating lever. A drive is arranged in the drive housing, wherein the drive comprises a rotary part with toothing rotatably supported in the drive housing. A connector serves for receiving plug-on or plug-in tools. A locking pawl is pivotally arranged in the drive housing, wherein the locking pawl comprises a toothing which engages the toothing of the rotary part for transmitting torque in one direction of rotation. A switch sets the direction of rotation and the engagement of the toothing of the locking pawl into the toothing of the rotary part. A hinge connection connects the locking pawl to the switch, wherein the switch comprises a switching pin which is rotatably supported in the drive housing.

Abstract: The invention relates to a torque sensor comprising an inner body, an outer annular body surrounding the inner body concentrically and webs connecting the inner body to the outer annular body in a star shape. Further on the torque sensor comprises a means for introducing torque and at least one measuring element on a web for determining deformation. The webs have the form of a u-profile.

Abstract: An engineers wrench has at least one open end forming a mouth which defines a mouth opening. The mouth opening is laterally delimited by a pair of mutually oppositely disposed lateral, surfaces which define a wrench width. At least inwardly disposed sections of the lateral surfaces have a slight convex-cylindrical curvature defined by a finite radius of curvature so that the mouth opening widens in the direction towards respective outer edges to a mouth width which exceeds the wrench width. The mouth opening is inwardly delimited by a mouth base; two substantially flat surfaces are interconnected at the mouth base as well as connected to associated ones of the lateral surfaces through respective connecting surfaces. The connecting surfaces have a concave-cylindrical curvature defined by a smaller radius of curvature than the finite radius of curvature of the convex-cylindrically curved lateral surfaces.

Abstract: A tool for venting hydraulic systems comprises a tubular tool element which forms a polygonal wrench at a first end. A flexible drain tube extends through the tubular tool element. An end of this drain tube is adapted to be pushed on the nipple of a venting valve. A metal sleeve is located in the flexible drain tube, and a clamping device is provided on the tool element adjacent the metal sleeve for clamping the flexible drain tube to the tool element. This facilitates the assembly and use of the tool. With such a tool, a venting valve is unscrewed to a limited extent through the polygonal wrench such that air is allowed to be vented from the system. The venting valve has a nipple. A flexible drain tube is placed on this nipple. The flexible drain tube prevents uncontrolled outflow of hydraulic liquid from the hydraulic system, thereby preventing contamination of the environment. Instead the hydraulic liquid is guided into a collecting reservoir.

Abstract: A crank operated torque tool has a tool holder shaft with an offset central portion and two straight, aligned, end members forming a crank. One end of the tool is preferably formed to receive and temporarily secure a torque tool. The other end has one end of an elongate, cylindrical, handle piece rotatably attached thereto, the other end of the handle piece being adapted to removably and rotatably receive a disc-shaped, thrust piece.
