  • Patent number: 11623327
    Abstract: A ratchet wrench handle includes an operation piece which is composed of two partial members including a claw member and a receiving member. The ratchet wrench handle is configured such that, when positive rotation-aimed operation teeth of the claw member are engaged with ratchet teeth of a rotation member, a wedge effect produced by the positive rotation-aimed operation teeth of the claw member and a positive rotation-aimed sloping face of the claw member is configured to make the rotation member stop rotation, which allows an adapter to be rotated in a positive direction.

A recess part for allowing the steel ball to partly engage therein is formed in an inner wall of an assembling hole of a wrench body for allowing the drive to engage therein. A connecting hole engageable with a polygonal head part of a bolt to be operated is formed in the wrench body in such a manner as to be coaxial with the drive. The recess part has a pair of contacting walls for the steel ball to contact therewith, the pair of contacting walls being disposed in mutually intersecting directions.

  • Patent number: 8464614
    Abstract: In a ratchet wrench handle, an operation piece is swingably supported by an axis in a handle head. Positive and reverse rotation claws are disposed on one and the other portions of a distal end surface of an operation piece. The operation piece is provided with a cam edge at its backward end surface. A pressing pin is provided in a switch member such that the pressing pin can freely move into and out of the switch member. The distal end of the pressing pin pressurely contacts with the cam edge through a force of a spring. The switch member is located on a line extended from an imaginary straight line running between the rotation axis of the rotation member and the axis of the operation piece.
