  • Publication number: 20210260726
    Abstract: The invention deals with an adjustable wrench comprising: a first jaw (8) and a second jaw (10) movable relative to the first jaw (8), wherein the second jaw (10) comprises a rack (12), a worm gear (18) movable into an engaged position wherein the worm gear (18) engages the rack (12) and wherein a rotation of the worm gear (18) causes the second jaw (10) to move relative to the first jaw (8), and into a disengaged position wherein the worm gear (18) does not engage the rack (12), a body (2) defining two surfaces, one of the surfaces comprising a first portion (14a) and a second portion (14b), the other surface comprising a third portion (16a) and a fourth portion (16b), the first portion (14a), the second portion (14b), the third portion (16a) and the fourth portion (16b) comprising a first point (140a), a second point (140b), a third point (160a) and a fourth point (160b) respectively, a biasing element (20) configured to urge the worm gear (18) toward the engaged position by applying forces on both surfaces

  • Patent number: 8152328
    Abstract: The invention relates to a lighting device including a power supply housing, a lighting head including at least one light source, and a connection arm having an elongated shape. The arm includes a first end connected to the housing and a second end connected to the head in order to mechanically connect the housing and the head, the latter being mobile relative to the housing between a first position in which the head is in the vicinity of and/or connected to the power supply housing, and at least a second position in which the head is remote and/or disconnected from the housing. The length of the arm is shorter than or equal to the largest dimension of the power supply housing.

  • Publication number: 20100269642
    Abstract: This tool substantially extends in a general plane (XY) and comprises: —at least one working head (12, 13) intended to cooperate with the fastener; —a handle (14) which is integral with the or each working head; the handle extending along a longitudinal axis (X-X) and comprising a linear portion (15) and at least one connection portion (16, 17) which connects the or each working head to the linear portion, the linear portion of the handle having a section transverse to the longitudinal axis (X-X) which comprises a relatively large transverse dimension substantially parallel with the general plane of the tool (XY) perpendicular to the longitudinal axis (X-X), and a relatively small dimension perpendicular to the general plane of the tool (XY). The large dimension and the small dimension of the transverse section are changing along the longitudinal axis. Use in flat wrenches, combination wrenches and ring wrenches.

  • Publication number: 20100046212
    Abstract: The invention relates to a portable lighting device that includes a power supply housing; a lighting head comprising at least one light source; a linking arm linking the housing and the head; a holding member of the lighting head; the latter being mobile relative to the housing between a first position in which the head is close and/or secured to the housing and a second position in which the head is distant and/or not secured to the housing, the holding member being secured to the housing and fitted to maintain the head in a fixed position relative to the housing in the first position of the head. The holding member includes a mobile element relative to the housing, adapted to hang the housing on an external mounting.

  • Patent number: 7313974
    Abstract: A support is for supporting electrical and/or electronic structure and/or electrical power supply structure for a hand dynamometer tool, in particular for a torque wrench operating by breaking mechanical equilibrium. A body of a substantially cylindrical shape that extends along a longitudinal axis, defined by two end faces, recesses and/or seats suitable for receiving electrical power supply members and/or electrical/electronic circuit boards are arranged and distributed around the axis, on or close to a periphery of the support. The support can be applied to a support module for a hand dynamometer tool and to a dynamometer tool.
