Patent number: 10183383Abstract: A ratchet screwdriver may include a handle, a shaft and a ratchet switch device. The handle has a passage axially penetrating through a front end thereof, and a mounting member is mounted on an outer periphery of the front end of the handle. Furthermore, a housing slot formed inside a rear portion of the handle is configured to receive the ratchet switch device. The ratchet switch device comprises a base, a switch button, a driving piece, a positioning member, two engaging blocks, two springs, a ratchet and a locating piece, thereby allowing the shaft to independently rotate relative to the handle in a reversed-working direction. Thus, a user has no need to repeatedly detach the ratchet screwdriver from a screw or re-hold the handle when operating, which is more convenient and labor-saving.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2016Date of Patent: January 22, 2019Assignee: Wei Chins Plastic Enterprise Corp.Inventor: Jin-Tsai Lai

Patent number: 9108304Abstract: A ratchet screwdriver includes a handle, a shaft and a ratchet switch device. The shaft is connected to the front end of the handle and a mounting member is connected to the handle so as to be connected with the shaft. The ratchet switch device is located in the chamber in the rear end of the handle and includes a base, a frame, two engaging members, a positioning member, a resilient plate, two positioning pieces, and a ratchet member a switch. The shaft can be replaced by operating the mounting member on the handle. The switch on the rear end of the handle can change the direction of the ratchet member to output torque via the shaft.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2013Date of Patent: August 18, 2015Inventor: Jin Tsai Lai

Patent number: 8973475Abstract: A torsion adjusting structure of a screwdriver includes an inner tube, a front micro-adjusting rod, a spring, an upper toothed block, a lower toothed block, a stop member, a compressive member, a regulating knob and an interacting member combined together, and the torsion adjusting structure is assembled in the handle of a screwdriver. To adjust the torsion of the screwdriver, an auxiliary tool is inserted in the polygonal recessed groove of the regulating knob to rotate the regulating knob having the graduation and number of a torsion value to be set by the regulating knob aligned to the position of an indication mark on the handle. Thus, the value of the torsion of a screwdriver can conveniently be regulated via the graduations and numbers on the regulating knob. Furthermore, the front micro-adjusting rod can carry out micro-adjustment of torsion.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2012Date of Patent: March 10, 2015Inventor: Jin Tsai Lai

Patent number: 8960058Abstract: A torque adjustment device for a screwdriver includes a tube located in the handle of the screwdriver and has an adjusting member connected to the first end thereof, a cap is connected to the second end of the tube. A first block and a second block are connected with each other by engagement of the teeth on the two blocks. A spring is biased between the first block and the adjusting member. A link is connected to the cap which pushes a pushing member to move the second block toward the first block when using an assistance tool to rotate the cap. The first block is able to move toward the second block by rotating the adjusting member so as to change the matching force between the teeth of the blocks. The cap has digits and marks to acknowledge the user the setting value of the torque.Type: GrantFiled: May 30, 2013Date of Patent: February 24, 2015Inventor: Jin Tsai Lai
