  • Patent number: 9403263
    Abstract: An oil filter wrench includes a base, a main rotating body, a ratcheting drive portion, a limiting mechanism, at least three rotating members and at least three claws. The main rotating portion is rotatably assembled with the body including a drive portion operable from outside. The ratcheting drive portion includes a ratcheting disk rotatably mounted with the main rotating portion and a main gear engaged with the ratcheting disk. The limiting mechanism includes at least one ratcheting member movably disposed on the main rotating body and including at least one tooth selectively engaged with the ratcheting disk. The rotating members axially pivoted to the base are arranged around an axis of the base. Each rotating member includes a passive gear portion engaged with the main gear and rotatable about a central axis. The claws connected to the rotating members are movable around corresponding central axis respectively.

  • Publication number: 20160114469
    Abstract: A dismantling device is provided, including a main body, a major sprocket, at least two rotating members and at least two clamping members. The main body has an axial direction, and the major sprocket is rotatably assembled with the main body. The at least two rotating members are pivotally disposed in the main body and arranged around the axial direction, and each rotating member includes a minor sprocket portion meshed with the major sprocket and a position-limiting portion. Each minor sprocket portion rotates about a central axis. The at least two clamping portions connect to the rotating members respectively and are rotatable around the corresponding central axes respectively. Each clamping member includes a restricting portion pivoted to the position-limiting portion and a clamping portion, wherein the restricting portion and the position-limiting portion are mutually restricted, and the restricting portion is restrictedly swingable within the position-limiting portion.
