  • Patent number: 7648029
    Abstract: A simplified rotatable anti-theft tool rack comprises a tool rack body and an inserting body that cooperate with each other to position a tool. The tool rack body includes a limiting portion used to receive an inserting portion of the head of the tool and connected with a guiding portion. At the end of the guiding portion is disposed with a fastening portion for restricting the tool by cooperating with a fixing element. The inserting body includes a multangular engaging portion. One end of the engaging portion is disposed with a stopping flange, and the other end of the engaging portion is extended to form a neck-shaped inserting portion. At the end of the inserting portion which has inserted through the limiting portion is formed a big-diameter check portion, thus forming a simplified structure, achieving the anti-theft and rotatable effect.

  • Patent number: 7600579
    Abstract: The present invention is a method and device for a hand power tool which includes a housing, a storage compartment within the housing, a wrench for manipulating a collet bit attachment structure, a portion of the wrench sized to fit within the storage compartment, a first spring extending into the storage cavity and positioned to bias the portion of the wrench against an inner wall of the storage compartment and a protuberance positioned on the housing, such that when the portion of the wrench is partially within the cavity, the protuberance causes a first misalignment between the longitudinal axis of the storage compartment and the longitudinal axis of the wrench and when the portion of the wrench is fully within the cavity, the protuberance does not cause a misalignment between the longitudinal axis of the storage compartment and the longitudinal axis of the wrench as large as the first misalignment.

  • Patent number: 7584845
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved structure of wrench rack. The structure includes a rack, a sliding board and at least one lock piece. The rack has a sliding groove and a plurality of clips that are provided on both sides of the sliding groove in pairs. Every pair of clips is spaced in parallel for retaining different sizes of wrenches. Each of the clips consists of two opposite jaws, one of the jaws is equipped with an elastic piece to press on the wrench, and thus the wrench is retained between the jaws stably. The sliding board connects in sliding with the rack, and a plurality of positioning hooks are provided on one side of the sliding board in parallel, the positioning hooks can grip wrenches by sliding with the sliding board, so as to prevent the wrench from taking out. The lock piece can lock the sliding board on the rack when the positioning hook locks the wrench.
