  • Patent number: 7766435
    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.

  • Publication number: 20100180734
    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.

  • Patent number: 7758201
    Abstract: A light energy collection hand tool comprises a handle; a driving portion at one end of the handle; and an energy collection plate installed on the handle. The energy collection plate includes a solar energy plate on a surface of the handle, an energy storage unit; and a conductive unit connected to the energy storage unit. A light emitting unit is connected to the conductive unit; and thus electric power flows through the conductive unit will flow through the lighting emitting unit to light up the lighting emitting unit. The light emitting unit is one of a halogens bulb and a light emitting diode device. A slideable cover covers upon the electric power storage area. The metal conductive unit is arranged to be around an inner periphery of the handle; not only transferring electric energy, the conductive unit also generate heat.

  • 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.

  • Publication number: 20100147117
    Abstract: A connection device for connecting with a socket includes a main body formed with an internal axial slide passage. A slide rod is mounted in the slide passage and slidable along the slide passage. An engaging column is mounted in a through hole of the main body. A contact face is formed at a bottom end of the engaging column in contact with a slope of one end of the slide rod. In normal state, the slide rod is urged by a resilient member, whereby the slope approaches and pushes the engaging column outward. The engaging column and the slide rod are face-to-face in contact with each other. A socket can be directly fitted onto the main body of the connection device without first making the slide rod leave the engaging column. When the socket touches the engaging column, the action force is transferred to the slide rod to make the slope thereof move away from the engaging column.

  • Publication number: 20100147118
    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.

  • Publication number: 20100107779
    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.
