  • Patent number: 12138754
    Abstract: A structure for mounting a cover plate in a head portion of a wrench is disclosed. An end surface of the head portion is concavely provided with a receiving chamber. The head portion is also concavely provided with a recess at the opening of the receiving chamber. The cover plate is mounted in the recess to close the receiving chamber, and the cover plate is fixed in the recess by the peripheral wall of the recess itself. In other words, the cover plate is mounted in the head portion of the wrench without using any connecting element and is fixed by the head portion of the wrench itself. The cover plate, once fixed, is kept from coming off so that the components mounted in the receiving chamber of the head portion will not fall out.

  • Patent number: 12055245
    Abstract: A C-clip includes a C-shaped clip body and two peripherally open holes. The clip body can be opened and closed elastically. The peripherally open holes are provided on two lateral sides of the clip body respectively and are adjacent to or located at the two ends of the clip body respectively. The peripherally open holes are provided in the clip body and each have a communication opening and a closed end. A wall between the communication opening and the closed end of each peripherally open hole forms a stop edge for preventing a tip of a retaining ring plier from moving out of the peripherally open hole. The outer diameter of the clip body can be changed by applying forces to the clip body via the peripherally open holes respectively. As the clip body does not have any particularly protruding portion, the C-clip can be used in various situations.

  • Patent number: 11981001
    Abstract: An alerting structure of an electronic torque tool includes a tool body and an electronic module. The electronic module includes a sensing unit, a processing unit, and at least one display unit. The sensing unit senses an operational value of the tool body. The processing unit sends the operational value sensed by the sensing unit to the display unit. The display unit has at least one display block. When the operational value sensed by the sensing unit reaches a predetermined value, the processing unit generates a rotation signal in order for the contents displayed by the display block of the display unit to rotate back and forth through a predetermined angle and thereby produce a conspicuous alerting effect.

  • Patent number: 11780064
    Abstract: A socket structure includes a body, a first fitting hole, a second fitting hole, and at least one elastic engaging member. The first fitting hole is disposed at one end of the body. The second fitting hole is disposed at another end of the body. The at least one elastic engaging member is disposed in the first fitting hole and protrudes toward an inner portion of the first fitting hole along a radial direction of the first fitting hole. When a tool is inserted into the first fitting hole, the at least one elastic engaging member is pressed and deformed by the tool and is thus engaged with the tool. The configuration of the at least one elastic engaging member makes it easier to connect a tool to and remove the tool from the socket structure.

  • Patent number: 11766767
    Abstract: An anti-rolling socket includes a socket body, a groove, a through hole, and a stopper. The socket body has an inner peripheral surface and an outer peripheral surface. The groove is disposed in, and along the circumference of, the inner peripheral surface. The through hole is disposed between the inner peripheral surface and the outer peripheral surface and communicates with the groove. The stopper includes a stop ring and a stop section. The stop ring is fitted in the groove. The stop section is connected to the stop ring. The stop section projects from the through hole and protrudes from the outer peripheral surface. The stop section can abut against a flat surface to prevent the socket body from rolling on the flat surface.

  • Patent number: 11673237
    Abstract: A wrench structure with a variable driving state includes a rod and a sleeve connected to the rod. An outer surface of the rod includes an accommodating slot, an engaging block, an elastic element, and a connecting portion. The engaging block and the elastic element are disposed in the accommodating slot. The connecting portion is adjacent to the accommodating slot and surrounds the outer surface of the rod. The sleeve includes a first ratchet portion, a second ratchet portion, and a non-ratchet portion located between the two ratchet portions. The sleeve can be selectively displaced relative to the rod to a first position, where the connecting portion is connected with the second ratchet portion, or a second position, where the connecting portion is adjacent to the non-ratchet portion. By controlling the relative positions of the rod and the sleeve, the driving state of the wrench structure can be switched.

  • Patent number: 11583994
    Abstract: A dustproof structure of a hand tool includes a tool body and a dustproof element. The tool body has a shank. A predetermined portion of the shank is concavely provided with a through hole. The dustproof element is flexible, is provided at the through hole of the shank, and can be opened and closed. The dustproof element closes the through hole when not subjected to an applied force and is elastically deformed to render the through hole into an open state when subjected to the applied force. In normal conditions, therefore, the dustproof element can block foreign matter from entering the through hole. When it is desired to perform a lubricating or adjusting operation on a component in the through hole of the hand tool, the operation can be carried out after directly applying a force to, and thus deforming, the dustproof portion, without having the dustproof element removed.

  • Patent number: 11491614
    Abstract: A ratchet wrench allowing easy change of rotation direction includes a main body, a ratchet gear, a pawl, a sideways pushing member, and a direction changing device. The main body has a shaft connected with a head portion. The head portion has a receiving chamber housing the ratchet gear, the pawl, and the sideways pushing member and connected to a channel in the shaft. The direction changing device has a rotating rod in the channel, a sideways pushing button for rotating the rotating rod, an engaging member at the rear end of the sideways pushing member, and an engaging groove at the front end of the rotating rod and engaged with the engaging member, which is axially offset from the rotating rod. The rotating rod can rotate the sideways pushing member and thereby displace the pawl so that a different portion of the pawl meshes with the ratchet gear.

  • Patent number: 11298804
    Abstract: A pushing lever structure of a ratchet wrench is provided. The ratchet wrench has a head portion. A ratchet gear, a toothed element, and a pushing lever are mounted in a receiving space of the head portion. A rear peripheral surface portion of the toothed element is provided with a recess. A pushing block extending forward from the pushing lever extends into the recess of the toothed element. When rotated, the pushing lever can move the toothed element effectively because it is the pushing block of the pushing lever that drives the toothed element into displacement. The bottom side of the head portion is mounted with a cover plate, and the bottom end of the pushing lever is pivotally provided on the cover plate to enhance the rotation stability of the pushing lever.

  • Patent number: 11285584
    Abstract: A magnetically assisted direction-changeable roller wrench has a main body, a driving member, a direction changing knob, plural rollers, a magnetic balancing member, and a magnetic positioning unit. The driving member, the rollers, and the direction changing knob are mounted in a head portion of the main body. The magnetic positioning unit includes a first and a second magnetic member located respectively on the driving member and the direction changing knob. The corresponding surfaces of the first and the second magnetic members have the same magnetic polarity, so a predetermined distance can be maintained between the first and the second magnetic members to secure the direction changing knob in position. The direction changing knob can displace each roller into contact with an engaging surface of the corresponding side of the driving member. The magnetic balancing member and the magnetic positioning unit lie in opposite directions to enable balanced magnetic attraction.
