  • Publication number: 20190321962
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a slide handle which has a first hole penetrating a top portion of a main body of the slide handle. A lever passes slidably through the first hole. A fixation mechanism includes at least one fixing groove which is formed on a surrounding surface of the lever and a second hole which penetrates the top portion of the main body. The central axes of the second hole and the first hole are skew lines. The second hole intersects the first hole partially, and a wall of the second hole is connected to a wall of the first hole. Furthermore, the fixation mechanism has a resilient member and a fixing member which are located in the second hole. The fixing member can partially protrude into the first hole. The fixing member can be pushed to move axially in the second hole to engage or disengage the fixing groove on the lever.

  • Patent number: 9038506
    Abstract: A socket wrench with a positioning device contains: a body including an accommodating cavity, a first face, and a second face. A toothed holder is accommodated in the accommodating cavity and has a polygonal groove, a first circular portion, a second circular portion, and a ratchet protrusion between the first circular portion and the second circular portion. The first circular portion is inserted to the first face, the second circular portion is inserted to the second face, and the ratchet protrusion engages with a ratchet device. A positioning device includes at least one retaining element disposed on the first circular portion and horizontally moving in the polygonal groove. The first circular portion has a resilient element and a pressing loop which are fitted on the first circular, and the pressing loop has a recess defined on an inner face thereof to correspond to the at least one retaining element.

  • Publication number: 20070151427
    Abstract: A hand tool includes a retractable handle which includes a stationary section and a movable section movably mounted to the stationary section. The stationary section has an elongate slot and a plurality of dimples are defined in an inside of the elongate slot. The movable section has a connection end and a through hole. A bead is movably engaged with the through hole and can be engaged with one of the dimples. A collar is rotatably mounted to the connection end and a concavity is defined in an inner periphery of the collar. When the bead is received in the concavity and one of the dimples, the movable section is able to be moved relative to the stationary section to adjust the length of the handle. The movable section is secured when rotating the collar to press the bead by the inner periphery of the collar.
