  • Publication number: 20110185863
    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.

  • Patent number: 7942085
    Abstract: A double-fulcrum torque wrench including a tubular body, a head section for fitting with a socket or a screwing member and a flexible mechanism including a flexible section. The flexible mechanism is connected with a rear end of the head section and disposed in the tubular body. The head section protrudes from a front end of the tubular body. When a wrenching force is applied to the wrench, the flexible section of the flexible mechanism is flexible. The head section and the flexible mechanism are connected with the tubular body via two fulcrums and the flexible section is positioned between the two fulcrums. By means of the double-fulcrum design, the action force at the force application end of the wrench is equal to the action force at the resistance end. In addition, the flexure of the wrench and the actual wrenching torque applied to the wrench can be more accurately and sensitively measured.

  • 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: 7841677
    Abstract: A tool box includes a body with drawers and the body is rotatably connected to a base. A brake unit is received in the base and includes a first board fixed to the base and a second board movably located on the first board by connection plates pivotably connected between the first and second boards. A brake disk is rotatably located on the first board and the shaft is securely connected to the brake disk so that the brake disk is co-rotated with the body. The second board is controlled to move and contact the brake disk on the first board by a clutch pedal. When the second board contacts the brake disk, the body together with the base is moved as one piece, and when the second board is disengaged from the brake disk, the body can be rotated independently relative to the base.

  • 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.
