  • Patent number: 8327741
    Abstract: A torque wrench includes a wrench body, a torque sensor, an angle sensor, a gravity sensor and a processor. The wrench body can provide a torque to a workpiece. The torque sensor can sense whether the torque is greater than a predetermined torque value. The angle sensor can obtain a rotational angle value by measuring the rotation of the wrench body after the torque is greater than the predetermined torque value. The gravity sensor can sense the tilt angle of the wrench body. The processor is programmed to correct the rotational angle value according to the tilt angle of the wrench body.

  • Publication number: 20120185002
    Abstract: A screw with a stress sensing device is disclosed. The screw includes a main body, a coaxial member and a stress sensing member. The main body has a hollow threaded hole along its axle center, and the coaxial member is applied to be screw into the threaded hole. The coaxial member includes an elongated body and two threaded parts disposed on both ends of the elongated body. The two threaded parts are applied to engage with and screwed in the threaded hole, and thus the stress applied on the main body can also be applied on the elongated body. One of the two threaded parts has a groove. The stress sensing member is arranged on the elongated body, and the signal sensed by the stress sensing member can be obtained via a wire passing through the groove.

  • Publication number: 20120000325
    Abstract: A hand tool alternately-magnetizing structure includes a body, at least one magnetic component, and an adjustment ring. The body defines a central axis and a handle portion; in which defines at least one recess dented along a radical direction thereof. The magnetic component is received in the recess of the handle portion, and includes a resilient member and a magnetic member. The adjustment ring is sleeved onto the handle portion and capable of angular displacement. The adjustment ring defines at least one switchable portion dented at an interior wall face thereof for corresponding to the recess of the handle portion. The switchable portion describes an adjacent section and an outlaying section, wherein a wall thickness defined at the adjacent section is greater than that defined at the outlaying section.

  • Patent number: 8087330
    Abstract: The present invention provides a hand tool with warning effect. A torque sensor, a music player and a circuit device are disposed in a main body of the hand tool. The circuit device includes a processing unit and a warning sound generator. An operation torque detected by the torque sensor is transmitted to the processing unit. In the case that the value of the operation torque is within a set range, the processing unit shuts off the warning sound generator and the music player can play music for a user to listen to. Once the operation torque of the hand tool becomes greater than the set torque value, the processing unit turns on the warning sound generator to emit a warning signal to alert the user.

  • Patent number: 8056449
    Abstract: The present invention provides a wrenching tool having a polygonal fitting hole formed of a first equilateral polygonal hole and a second equilateral polygonal hole with the same configuration. The two polygonal holes are concentrically arranged to provide two fitting positions for fitting to threaded members. The first polygonal hole has multiple first internal angles each having two sides. A first small internal angle is further disposed on one side of each first internal angle of at least the first polygonal hole. The first small internal angles provide another fitting position for fitting to another size of threaded member. Accordingly, the wrenching tool is applicable to various sizes of threaded members.
