  • Patent number: 8864143
    Abstract: A small outer diameter quick release extension rod is provided with elongated sheet-shaped elastic elements therein for realizing the effect of engaging with a screwdriver head. A second positioning ring in the operating element is used to press against the elastic elements to control them to be engaged in or disengaged from the screwdriver head. The small outer diameter quick release extension rod is easy to operate and has a relatively small outer diameter, not only reducing the structure weight and energy loss, but also enhancing the flexibility of use.

  • Publication number: 20140206459
    Abstract: A two-torque-producing connecting rod assembly used in combination with a hand tool is provided with a rod and a connecting member. The rod is polygonal and includes a big first section, a small second section and a connecting portion. The connecting member is a hollow cylindrical structure sleeved on the rod and has an inserting cavity and a stepped receiving cavity. The receiving cavity includes an outer section, an inner section and a middle section which is smaller in diameter than the outer section but larger than the inner section, the outer section includes plural alternatively-arranged arc-shaped concave portions and pointed convex portions. When the first section of the rod is inserted in the outer section of the connecting member, plural angles of the first section are disposed between the arc-shaped concave portions and restricted to move between the two ends by the pointed convex portions.

  • Patent number: 8651764
    Abstract: A quick release extension rod with a positioning structure comprises a body, a return member, an inserting rod, an even number of balls, a positioning ring, a control ring assembly, four elastic members and a C-shaped retainer. The balls are disposed on the connecting head of the inserting rod, so that the radial interval between the socket and the connecting head of the base of the quick release extension rod can be evenly distributed. When the socket rotates, the arrangement of an even number of balls can reduce the possibility of the asymmetrical-center-of-gravity caused oscillation. The four elastic members are disposed between the control ring assembly and the body to push the socket can be abutted against the control ring assembly to delimitate the axial interval, which further stabilize the center of gravity of rotation of the socket while preventing the occurrence of oscillation of the socket.
