  • Publication number: 20040123701
    Abstract: A ratchet wheel mounting structure comprises a ratchet wheel mounted in a box of a wrench body and meshed with a toothed stop block in said box, and a retainer ring mounted in between said box and said ratchet wheel to secure said ratchet wheel to said box, said ratchet wheel having teeth arranged around the periphery thereof, a locating block at one side of the ratchet wheel, and a locating groove being formed around the periphery of said locating block for positioning said retainer ring. Each tooth of said ratchet wheel is chamfered at one end thereof far away from the locating block; and a reinforcing bevel is provided in the valley between roots of another ends of each two adjacent teeth of said ratchet wheel adjacent to said locating block. Or each tooth is chamfered at two ends and thus no bevel slop is formed.

  • Publication number: 20040099101
    Abstract: A wrench includes a handle section with a head section which has a fitting through hole configured for fitting onto the polygonal head of a bolt head member. The fitting through hole includes first and second coaxial polygonal fitting holes circumferentially displaced from each other. Each polygonal fitting hole has an inner circumference with a plurality of reentrant angles and sides. At least one channel is formed on the inner circumference of one of the first and second fitting holes. The at least one channel extends in a direction of an axis of the fitting through hole. A sliding member is movably disposed in the at least one channel so as to prevent the polygonal head from passing completely through the fitting through hole. When the other fitting hole engages the polygonal head, the polygonal head may pass completely through the fitting through hole.

  • Publication number: 20040093959
    Abstract: A torque test device includes a body in which a rotatable member is received and an engaging end on an end of the rotatable member extends out from the body. A rod and a pushing member respectively extend from a periphery of the rotatable member. A gauge is located on a top of the body and an activation bar extends from the gauge and inserts into the body. The activation bar contacts the pushing member. A spring has an end contacting an inside of the body and the other end of the spring contacts the rod. A wrench is engaged with the engaging end and rotates the rotatable member. The pushing member pushes the activation bar and the torque is displayed on the gauge. The spring assists the rod back to its original position.

  • Publication number: 20040095758
    Abstract: A flashlight includes a body which is composed of a first section and a second section. The first section includes a cap and a bulb and reflection hood assembly connected to a first end thereof and a second end of the first section is retractably received in the second section. Batteries are received in the first section and the second section. A spring is connected to a first conductive plate received in the second section and biases the batteries to contact a tail end on the end so as to form a circuit to light up the bulb. The number of batteries can be adjusted by retractably moving the first section relative to the second section.

  • Publication number: 20040093993
    Abstract: A wrench includes a body with an engaging ring rotatably engaged with a hole defined in a head of the body and a plurality of wedge-shaped gaps are defined between an inside of the head and the outer periphery of the engaging ring. A resilient member and a roller are engaged in each gap. An imaginary line “cs” is formed from a center “s” of the roller to a center “c” of the hole. Each roller applies a force at point “a” in the hole of the wrench. An off-set distance “h” is defined between the line “cs” and line “ca”. An angle “w1” defined between the line “cs” and line “ca” is in the range of 5 to 20 degrees.
