  • Patent number: 12055245
    Abstract: A C-clip includes a C-shaped clip body and two peripherally open holes. The clip body can be opened and closed elastically. The peripherally open holes are provided on two lateral sides of the clip body respectively and are adjacent to or located at the two ends of the clip body respectively. The peripherally open holes are provided in the clip body and each have a communication opening and a closed end. A wall between the communication opening and the closed end of each peripherally open hole forms a stop edge for preventing a tip of a retaining ring plier from moving out of the peripherally open hole. The outer diameter of the clip body can be changed by applying forces to the clip body via the peripherally open holes respectively. As the clip body does not have any particularly protruding portion, the C-clip can be used in various situations.

  • Publication number: 20240217076
    Abstract: A wrench shaft structure includes a working head, a shaft, and a through hole unit. The working head has a pivotal connection portion at one end. The pivotal connection portion has a through bore. The shaft has a lug portion at one end and a body portion. The lug portion has a connection hole pivotally connected to the through bore such that the working head is pivotally connected to the shaft. The through hole unit has a layout length along the body portion and penetrates the body portion in the same direction as that in which the connection hole penetrates the lug portion. While the through hole unit is configured to reduce the weight of the shaft, the body portion still has a continuous structure along the moment arm of the force applied to the shaft during operation so that the shaft can apply a force of the expected magnitude.

  • Patent number: 11981001
    Abstract: An alerting structure of an electronic torque tool includes a tool body and an electronic module. The electronic module includes a sensing unit, a processing unit, and at least one display unit. The sensing unit senses an operational value of the tool body. The processing unit sends the operational value sensed by the sensing unit to the display unit. The display unit has at least one display block. When the operational value sensed by the sensing unit reaches a predetermined value, the processing unit generates a rotation signal in order for the contents displayed by the display block of the display unit to rotate back and forth through a predetermined angle and thereby produce a conspicuous alerting effect.
