  • Publication number: 20080148906
    Abstract: A wrench includes a handle and an open-end with two jaws and each jaw has a driving surface. Each driving surface has a contacting area and two yielding areas. The contacting area is located between the two yielding areas and includes a contact portion and two notches. The contact portion is located between the two notches, and two extension areas each are connected between the yielding area and the notch corresponding thereto. A corner is formed at a joint area of the contact portion and an inside of the notch so as to bite a rounded fastener head. The contact portions are matched with straight sides of a normal fastener head.

  • Patent number: 7322263
    Abstract: A wrench capable of switching sense of rotation comprises a handle, a head portion formed on one end of the handle and a switch mounted on the head portion of the handle. The head portion further comprises a ratchet wheel, a claw piece and an inverting piece. The switch further comprises two driving pieces downwardly extended from two lateral sides thereof. As either side of the switch is pressed down, the associated driving piece will be pushed against the inverting piece with a sloppy wall thereof, so as to restrict the rotation of the ratchet in one angular direction.

  • Publication number: 20080000332
    Abstract: An electric wrench with a control switch comprises a wrench body having a web area, on top of which includes a fixed jaw at one end and a movable jaw on the other end that can slide toward the fixed jaw along a slide slot. The web area further includes a first receptacle for housing a worm gear that is engaged with the movable jaw. The handle contains a second receptacle for housing a driving unit for driving the worm gear. The four lateral sides form a pair of grip sides for a holding hand and a pair of control panels on at least one of which control panels a button or rocker switch is provided, preventing accidental touch by the holding hand.

  • Patent number: 7310739
    Abstract: A universal serial bus (USB) with a power-saving mode and an operating method thereof are provided. When the USB peripheral is coupled to the USB host, the USB host core logic of the USB host transmits an inquiry request via a USB transceiver to inquire whether or not the USB peripheral supports the power-saving mode. The core logic of the USB peripheral responds via the USB transceiver that the power-saving mode is supported. Then the USB peripheral is off-line and then is shifted to be on-line for operating the power-saving mode. The USB host is also switched to the power-saving mode. Under the power-saving mode, the data are respectively transceived by the serial transceivers. The clock frequency of the serial transceiver can be adjusted according to the request of data transmission.
