  • Patent number: 11313357
    Abstract: An inertial rotation device includes: a central member with an axial direction, a first engaging portion on the peripheral surface of the central member, an inertia member with a mounting hole, and a second engaging portion on the wall of the mounting hole. The inertia member is mounted around the central member and can be displaced between an engaging position and a released position along the axial direction of the central member. The inertia member can rotate together with the central member when at the engaging position, where the two engaging portions are engaged with each other, and cannot rotate together with the central member when at the released position, where the two engaging portions are disengaged from each other. The magnitude of the torque of the inertial rotation device can be changed by switching the inertia member to the engaging position or the released position.

  • Patent number: 11298804
    Abstract: A pushing lever structure of a ratchet wrench is provided. The ratchet wrench has a head portion. A ratchet gear, a toothed element, and a pushing lever are mounted in a receiving space of the head portion. A rear peripheral surface portion of the toothed element is provided with a recess. A pushing block extending forward from the pushing lever extends into the recess of the toothed element. When rotated, the pushing lever can move the toothed element effectively because it is the pushing block of the pushing lever that drives the toothed element into displacement. The bottom side of the head portion is mounted with a cover plate, and the bottom end of the pushing lever is pivotally provided on the cover plate to enhance the rotation stability of the pushing lever.

  • Publication number: 20220097213
    Abstract: A wrench structure with a variable driving state includes a rod and a sleeve connected to the rod. An outer surface of the rod includes an accommodating slot, an engaging block, an elastic element, and a connecting portion. The engaging block and the elastic element are disposed in the accommodating slot. The connecting portion is adjacent to the accommodating slot and surrounds the outer surface of the rod. The sleeve includes a first ratchet portion, a second ratchet portion, and a non-ratchet portion located between the two ratchet portions. The sleeve can be selectively displaced relative to the rod to a first position, where the connecting portion is connected with the second ratchet portion, or a second position, where the connecting portion is adjacent to the non-ratchet portion. By controlling the relative positions of the rod and the sleeve, the driving state of the wrench structure can be switched.

  • Patent number: 11285584
    Abstract: A magnetically assisted direction-changeable roller wrench has a main body, a driving member, a direction changing knob, plural rollers, a magnetic balancing member, and a magnetic positioning unit. The driving member, the rollers, and the direction changing knob are mounted in a head portion of the main body. The magnetic positioning unit includes a first and a second magnetic member located respectively on the driving member and the direction changing knob. The corresponding surfaces of the first and the second magnetic members have the same magnetic polarity, so a predetermined distance can be maintained between the first and the second magnetic members to secure the direction changing knob in position. The direction changing knob can displace each roller into contact with an engaging surface of the corresponding side of the driving member. The magnetic balancing member and the magnetic positioning unit lie in opposite directions to enable balanced magnetic attraction.

  • Publication number: 20210362318
    Abstract: A dustproof structure of a hand tool includes a tool body and a dustproof element. The tool body has a shank. A predetermined portion of the shank is concavely provided with a through hole. The dustproof element is flexible, is provided at the through hole of the shank, and can be opened and closed. The dustproof element closes the through hole when not subjected to an applied force and is elastically deformed to render the through hole into an open state when subjected to the applied force. In normal conditions, therefore, the dustproof element can block foreign matter from entering the through hole. When it is desired to perform a lubricating or adjusting operation on a component in the through hole of the hand tool, the operation can be carried out after directly applying a force to, and thus deforming, the dustproof portion, without having the dustproof element removed.

  • Publication number: 20210331296
    Abstract: A ratchet wrench allowing easy change of rotation direction includes a main body, a ratchet gear, a pawl, a sideways pushing member, and a direction changing device. The main body has a shaft connected with a head portion. The head portion has a receiving chamber housing the ratchet gear, the pawl, and the sideways pushing member and connected to a channel in the shaft. The direction changing device has a rotating rod in the channel, a sideways pushing button for rotating the rotating rod, an engaging member at the rear end of the sideways pushing member, and an engaging groove at the front end of the rotating rod and engaged with the engaging member, which is axially offset from the rotating rod. The rotating rod can rotate the sideways pushing member and thereby displace the pawl so that a different portion of the pawl meshes with the ratchet gear.

  • Publication number: 20210276168
    Abstract: The invention provides a torque wrench capable of maintaining accuracy of torque value, comprising a tube; and a rod, a trip mechanism, an elastic element, and an adjustment mechanism installed on the tube. The adjustment mechanism has a handle and a moving member, when the handle is rotated, the moving member can be driven to displace along a longitudinal direction of the tube, so as to change an elastic force exerted by the elastic element to the trip mechanism; an adjustment rod is threadedly connected into the moving member, rotating the adjustment rod is capable of displacing the adjustment rod relative to the moving member, so that a front end of the adjustment rod protrudes from the moving member and exerts pressure on the elastic element. Thereby, the torque wrench can be restored to a correct torque value by simply rotating the adjustment rod.
