  • Patent number: 7895924
    Abstract: A socket connection device including a main body; a slide rod installed in the main body and slidable along the main body, a shallow depression and a deep depression being formed on a front end of the slide rod; and a ball body inlaid in a through hole of the main body. In normal state, a bottom edge of the ball body falls on the shallow depression and a top edge of the ball body protrudes out of the main body. When the slide rod moves to a position where the deep depression is aligned with the through hole, the ball body moves into the deep depression without protruding out of the main body. In the invention, a center of the ball body is positioned outside a bottom wall of the shallow depression. When fitting a socket on the connection device, the socket presses the ball body to drive the slide rod slide, whereby the ball body drops into the deep depression. Therefore, the socket can be directly connected with the device without performing any additional operation.

  • Publication number: 20110011218
    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.

  • Patent number: 7832285
    Abstract: The invention provides an electronic torque meter for measuring torque of a wrench. The torque meter includes a housing in which an operation shaft and a flexible beam are disposed. When the operation shaft is rotated, the flexible beam is flexed. A measuring element is mounted on the flexible beam for detecting and measuring flexure of the flexible beam. An electronic display unit is mounted on the housing and electrically connected with the measuring element. When measuring the torque of a wrench, the measuring element directly measures the flexure and deformation of the flexible beam to obtain precise torque value. The torque value is displayed by the display unit in the form of numerals for easy reading.

In normal state, a bottom edge of the ball body falls on the shallow depression and a top edge of the ball body protrudes out of the main body. When the slide rod moves to a position where the deep depression is aligned with the through hole, the ball body moves into the deep depression without protruding out of the main body. In the invention, a center of the ball body is positioned outside a bottom wall of the shallow depression. When fitting a socket on the connection device, the socket presses the ball body to drive the slide rod slide, whereby the ball body drops into the deep depression. Therefore, the socket can be directly connected with the device without performing any additional operation.

  • Publication number: 20100171249
    Abstract: The invention provides a spring, which has multiple continuously arranged loops. The first and second loops of at least one of the two ends of the spring are fixedly connected with each other. Accordingly, when the first loop of the spring sustains a force, the first loop will not be outward swiveled or laterally displaced. Therefore, the action force applied to the spring can be effectively converted into elastic energy of the spring.
