  • Publication number: 20200198064
    Abstract: A welding method using embodiments of electrodes (100) with coaxial power feed. The electrode comprises a metal cylinder (105) defining a hollow core (110). The hollow core provides a conduit for delivering core feed materials (150) therebetween via a delivery means (200). The cylinder may be formed of pure metals or extrudable alloys for forming a desired superalloy material composition; while the delivered core feed materials comprise a balance of compositional constituents for forming the desired superalloy material composition. The resulting deposit achieves the desired superalloy composition as a result of at least a combination of the cylinder materials and core feed materials. The electrode may further include a flux coating (120) surrounding the cylinder. The flux material may also contribute to the desired superalloy composition as a result of the weld operation.

The interfacing surface of the flange interfaces with a stop surface formed in the cavity to transfer a torque applied to the handle portion to the drive member.

    Abstract: An impact tool includes a housing extending along a longitudinal axis, the housing including a motor housing portion and a front housing coupled to the motor housing portion, a motor supported within the motor housing portion, and a drive assembly supported within the housing. The drive assembly includes a camshaft driven by the motor for rotation about an axis, an anvil extending from the front housing, and a hammer configured to reciprocate along a travel portion of the camshaft between a rearmost position and a forwardmost position to deliver rotational impacts to the anvil in response to rotation of the camshaft. An axial distance between the forwardmost position and the rearmost position of the hammer is at least 20.75 millimeters, and the travel portion of the camshaft has a diameter of at least 25 millimeters.

  • Publication number: 20200198102
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a socket tool which is used to be connected to a driving head of a tool, and the socket tool is especially suitable for a driving head which is equipped with a friction ring. The socket tool includes a connecting portion and a working portion. The connecting portion which is located on one side of the socket tool includes a top surface and a polygonal hole. The top surface is recessed along an axis of the socket tool to form an indentation which can accommodate the friction ring of the driving head. The polygonal hole which can accommodate the driving head penetrates the indentation along the axis of the socket tool. The working portion which is located on the other side of the socket tool has, for example, a hexagonal hole that can be used to cover a bolt or a nut. The indentation can accommodate the friction ring of the driving head, so that an abutting surface of the driving head can contact the top surface of the socket tool directly.

  • Publication number: 20200198103
    Abstract: An impact driver screw driving device with depth adjustment has a floating sleeve that surrounds a screw driving mechanism. A floating sleeve spring provides a constant bias between a top of the floating sleeve and a top of the screw driving mechanism. A depth adjustment sleeve is threadedly connected to a lower end of the floating sleeve. The floating sleeve and the depth adjustment sleeve are free to rotate independently of the screw driving device so concussive force of the impact driver does not change a driven screw depth adjustment set by manually rotating the depth adjustment sleeve while gripping the floating sleeve.

    Abstract: A ratchet wrench having multiple driving modes with torque sensing function includes an annular head, a driving unit, a control unit, a rotary member, a forcing unit and at least one torque sensor. The annular head receives the driving unit therein and a shaft extends from the annular head. The driving unit has a first toothed ring engaged with a first pawl, and a second pawl engaged with inner teeth of the annular head. The rotary member is rotatably inserted in the shaft, and has two ends to the driving unit and the forcing unit respectively. The forcing unit includes a tubular handle and a display unit. The torque sensor is mounted on the shaft. The shaft inserts into an axial chamber of the handle. The torque sensor is positioned between the axial chamber and the shaft. When the shaft is bended by the handle to produce a deformation.

    Abstract: My invention is a unique tool that permits the winding and unwinding (tensioning and de-tensioning) of torsion springs in situations where adjacent obstructions would otherwise disallow the normal means of this process when using normal trade tools. Sometimes access can be so limited that even the installation of similar tools can be impossible which is why I design it with removable jaw clamp bolts and assembly bolt finger clearance.
