  • Patent number: 6345560
    Abstract: A clamping chuck comprising a shank which has two sleeve-like shank sections (5, 6), one of the sleeve-like sections (6) on an end side thereof being coordinated to a clamping section (1) for clamping into a drive member, and the other of the sleeve-like sections (5) on its end side being coordinated to a toolholder (2) for mounting a tool, in particular a screwdriver bit (18). The two sleeve-like shank sections (5, 6), by a torsion section (3) formed by a torsion member (7) coordinated to cavities of the shank sections, being twistable with respect to one another about a stop-limited angular distance (a-b), wherein the torsion section (3) is arranged between two hexagon sections of the torsion member (7), by which hexagon sections the torsion member is fitted without play into hexagon profile sections in the cavities (10, 11) of the sleeve-like shank sections (5, 6), and the torsion member continues, as one material integral piece into the clamping section formed as an insertion section (1).

  • Patent number: 6330846
    Abstract: A invention relates to a chuck having a shank which provides two shank sections (5, 6), forms a clamping section (1) at one end for clamping in place in a drive member and forms a tool mounting (2) at the other end for mounting a tool, in particular a screwdriver bit (18), having an elastic element between the clamping-side shank section (6) and the tool-mounting-side shank section (5) for permitting a stop-limited twisting capability of the clamping section relative to the tool mounting (2). To achieve a narrow type of construction, provision is made for the elastic element to be formed as a bending spring which is bendable transversely to the axis of the chuck and connects the two shank sections to one another.

  • Patent number: 6263771
    Abstract: The invention relates to a force transmission structure especially for a screwing wrench with multiple corners. The invention is configured for an inner multiple cornered mating profile especially for a screw with a six cornered inner case profile. The force transmission structure is constructed with equal multiple corners whose flanks border one another in a circumferential direction. The diameter contour line of each flank possesses two convex curvature lines which are interspaced and the interspacing area recoils between the curvature lines and connecting tangent lines, the tangent lines consisting of both crowns of the convex curvature lines. In order to transmit high levels of torque, the invention provides that the section of the curvature lines between the crowns and the multiple corners is either rectilinear of its curvature is flatter than that of the convex curvature line.

  • Patent number: 5704261
    Abstract: A tool, particularly a torque-transmitting tool, such as a screwdriver or a screwdriver bit, having a shaft and a working region. In order advantageously to take up peak torques with such a tool, a damping region of lower hardness or lower torsion-bar constant than the working region is provided, associated with the shaft. For this purpose, the damping region can be subsequently annealed or have a different composition of material. The latter is preferably provided in the case of a tool of sintered metal.

  • Patent number: 5601003
    Abstract: An injection-molded plastic handle for tools, particularly screwdrivers, having zones of plastic of different hardness, the harder plastic being nondeformable under the forces which occur as a result of the actuating load while the softer plastic permits slight elastic deformations, and having a centrally located receiving hollow space (5) for the tang of a tool blade (2), and, in order to obtain a development which is of optimized grippability and more advantageous in use, the central hollow space is located in a center part (6) having a profiled cover surface (11) around which a cover is injected, the depressions (8) resulting from the profiling of the cover surface (11) being filled with a softer plastic until obtaining an approximately circular cross-sectional shape.

  • Patent number: 5284075
    Abstract: A screwing tool, particularly a screwdriver (1) or screwdriver bit, for polygonal socket screws (8), having flank sections (12) which are convex in circumferential direction; in order to optimize the transmission of force it is proposed that the flank sections (12, 12') be interrupted in the central region of each flank (11) by a non-convexly extending intermediate section (13/13').

  • Patent number: 5259279
    Abstract: A slot screwdriver with convex wide-side surfaces of the blade (3, 19) on its working end (8, 20) and, in order to optimize the use thereof, it proposes that the convexity be formed of two convex arcs (10, 21) present on each wide-side surface and lying symmetrically on both sides of the transverse center plane (A--A) of the blade (3, 19).
