  • Patent number: 7562589
    Abstract: An electronic torque wrench for engaging a workpiece, the electronic torque wrench including a wrench body and a wrench head disposed on the wrench body, the wrench head being configured to engage the workpiece. A grip handle is disposed on the wrench body opposite the wrench head and a user interface is carried by the wrench body. The user interface includes a digital display with a first readout and a second readout, and an input device for inputting a preset torque value. The first readout displays a peak torque value continuously during operations and the second readout displays an applied torque value continuously during operations.

  • Patent number: 7469602
    Abstract: A torque wrench for engaging a workpiece includes a wrench body having a first end and a second end. A wrench head is disposed on the first end of the wrench body and is configured to engage the workpiece. A display device is carried by the wrench body and includes a housing, a display, and an input device for inputting a preset torque value. A torque sensor is carried by the wrench head and is electrically connected to the display device. A detent extends outwardly from one of the wrench body, the wrench head, and the user interface and a plurality of recesses is formed in another of the wrench body, the wrench head, and the user interface, each of the recesses being configured to releasably receive the detent. The display device is rotatable relative to the wrench head so that the detent is received by one of the recesses for retaining the display device in a desired angular position with regard to the wrench head.

  • Patent number: 5239875
    Abstract: A torque-limiting tool which comprises a drive member and a driven member. A plurality of balls extends from one of the members; a corresponding plurality of cylinders extends from the other. The relationship of the drive member and the driven member is such that when a torque is applied to the drive member, the balls and the cylinders engage and drive the driven member until a predetermined torque is applied. Once this torque is attained, the balls and cylinders mutually rotate so as to release the driven member. A calibration screw adjusts the overlap between the balls and cylinders to calibrate the limiting torque.
