  • Patent number: 5197358
    Abstract: A socket wrench has a box end which confines an internal wall therein. A pair of rollers are connected rigidly by an eccentric shaft and are received in the box end. A pair of retaining plates are provided in the box end on both sides of the box end so as to retain the rollers therein. A resilient plate is provided between the rollers adjacent to the eccentric shaft. An inverted V-shaped rigid pawl member is provided around the eccentric shaft and includes a first and second section. The first section includes a curved first side formed adjacent to the internal wall of the box end, a straight second side forming a first clearance with the eccentric shaft and a free end interconnecting the curved first and straight second sides and which is biased by the resilient plate so that at least a portion of the curved first side adjacent to the resilient member frictionally abuts with the internal wall.
