  • Patent number: 10058982
    Abstract: A combination of wrench and driving device includes a wrench, a first driver having an axis and a combining part on one end and a connecting part on the other end thereof, a second driver having a non-circular outer edge, and a retaining mechanism. The wrench has a driving part. The combining part is removably engaged with the driving part, and one end of the combining part away from the connecting part has a retaining edge. The second driver is axially coupled with the connecting part along the axis. The retaining mechanism, when the second driver rotates toward any vertical direction vertical around the axis to be coupled, prevents the profile of the combining part and the profile of the non-circular outer edge from completely axially overlapping each other. The non-circular outer edge is retained against the driving part of the wrench.

  • Publication number: 20180222019
    Abstract: An open end wrench includes a body having a jaw portion for holding a workpiece. The jaw portion includes an arcuate sliding groove, an expanding groove, and a slider movable relative to the arcuate sliding groove along an arcuate path. The jaw includes a first jaw having a force-applying face and an evasive portion adjacent to the force-applying face. When the jaw portion deforms elastically while wrenching the workpiece, the expanding groove increases the expanding effect within an elastic limit of the jaw portion, such that a corner between the force-receiving face in a first rotating direction and a sixth force-receiving face in a second rotating direction can move across the force-applying face into the evasive portion, avoiding damage to the slider and the first jaw resulting from failure in withstanding the reactive force from the workpiece. Thus, the open end wrench has high toughness and a long service life.
