  • Patent number: 7913589
    Abstract: A wrench includes a handle, and a driving unit pivotally mounted on the handle. The handle has an end portion provided with a support surface. The driving unit includes a first jaw having a first end pivotally mounted on the end portion of the handle, and a second jaw having a first end pivotally connected with a second end of the first jaw and a second end that is movable to abut the support surface of the handle and the first end of the first jaw. Thus, the second end of the second jaw abuts the support surface of the handle tightly and closely so that the force applied by a user is transmitted to the wrench directly so as to drive the wrench to operate the workpiece in an energy-saving manner.

  • Publication number: 20100122608
    Abstract: An open-ended ratchet wrench includes a handle provided with an open driving head, an open ratchet wheel mounted in the driving head of the handle and having an outer wall provided with a plurality of oneway ratchet teeth, and a pawl member movably mounted in the driving head of the handle and having a first side provided with a plurality of oneway locking teeth detachably meshing with the ratchet teeth of the ratchet wheel. Thus, the ratchet wheel has a side provided with an opening to make the ratchet wheel flexible so that the ratchet wheel is mounted on and detached from the workpiece easily and quickly, thereby facilitating a user operating the ratchet wrench to rotate the workpiece.

  • Publication number: 20100101376
    Abstract: A ratchet open end wrench includes a wrench body provided with an operation head, a ratchet unit mounted on the operation head, and at least one drive unit mounted on the wrench body and engaged with the ratchet unit. The ratchet unit includes a ratchet member provided with a plurality of oneway ratchet teeth. The drive unit includes a pawl member provided with a plurality of oneway driving teeth engaged with the oneway ratchet teeth. Thus, the ratchet member is driven by the pawl member to rotate a workpiece, so that the reaction force applied by the workpiece onto the operation head is shared by and distributed on the drive unit and the wrench body to prevent the force from being concentrated on the operation head.

  • Patent number: 4804350
    Abstract: A toy building block set suitable for assembling articles of play includes ring like block elements with a circular inner periphery and a polygonal outer periphery with straight side faces. A sixteen-sided polygonal block is provided with square dovetail connector and socket elements arranged on the side faces for connecting the block elements together. Other side faces of the block elements are provided with vertical dovetail chutes for co-operation with elongate stacking members having elongate dovetail projections. The block elements are thus able to be arranged in stacks on the stacking members for storage and transportation. Lashing points are provided on the stacking member ends for accepting a lashing means to secure the stack positively, and several stacks of block elements can be lashed together for packaging large sets of blocks. Different embodiments are presented. In one embodiment the block elements are provided with snap-fit socket elements.
