  • Publication number: 20060179981
    Abstract: A torque-limiting driver includes a housing, a shaft carried by the housing for rotation relative thereto and having a workpiece-engaging tip projecting from the housing, a torque-limiting mechanism coupled between the housing and the shaft and responsive to rotation of the housing in a predetermined direction to rotate the shaft at torques below a predetermined torque and accommodating rotation of the housing relative to the shaft at said predetermined torque and above, a torque-determining structure disposed in the housing and movable relative to the torque-limiting mechanism for adjusting the predetermined torque, and the housing including a stop portion engageable with the torque-determining structure for preventing torque-adjusting movement thereof.

  • Publication number: 20050126351
    Abstract: An electronic torque wrench has inner and outer telescoping housing, portions and a battery tray assembly telescopically receivable in the inner housing portion and a bezel assembly receivable in an aperture in the outer housing portion and interconnected with the housing portions and the battery support assembly by a single fastener. The bezel assembly carries torque measuring circuitry including a microcontroller, and a four-key pad including arrow keys for incrementing and decrementing a preset torque level at any time, an on/zero key and a units key for toggling among plural different units of torque measurement. The preset torque level is displayed until torque is applied or a key is pressed and can be changed and displayed at anytime.
