Johann Sonntag has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11745318
    Abstract: An apparatus for precisely measuring and applying torque and angle of rotation to tighten screwed fasteners. The apparatus includes a drive motor for generating a rotation, a pair of spaced triggers for activating the operation of the drive motor, and a controller for precisely measuring the torque to be applied and angle of rotation to be achieved by the apparatus, the controller not permitting the motor to be activated without both of the triggers being activated. A reduction gear system is also provided for reducing a rate of rotation generated by the motor, the reduction gear system outputting a rotational drive torque for driving the screwed fastener.
    Type: Grant
