  • Patent number: 6726210
    Abstract: A sealing device for a gear box includes a box having a hole defined through a wall thereof and a shaft having a first end rotatably engaged with an inside of the box. A second end of the shaft is supported by a bearing which is received in a frame engaged with the hole of the box. A cap is connected to an end of the frame in the box and mounted to the second end of the shaft. A space is defined between a skirt and a protrusion of the cap so as to receive a seal therein. The seal has a flexible plate which is engaged with the end of the frame in the box. The flexible plate effectively prevents oil in the box from entering a gap between the bearing and the frame when the shaft is not rotated.

  • Patent number: 6722235
    Abstract: A torque wrench has a shank, an arm, a torque-adjusting device, a handle and an adjusting knob. The handle is mounted around one end of the shank and has a mouth. A window is defined in the periphery of the mouth. The adjusting knob is rotatably attached to the shank. A stepped protrusion formed on the adjusting knob is connected to the torque-adjusting device and is received in the mouth. A scale is formed on the outer periphery of the stepped protrusion and corresponds to the window. An index line is formed on the handle and corresponds to the scale. Accordingly, the scale can be easily read through the window with the index line. The mouth can provide a protecting effect to the scale to keep the scale from being worn off, such that the useful life of the torque wrench is prolonged.
