  • Patent number: 11045928
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides an impact wrench for detaching bolts or nuts together with socket. The impact wrench includes a pole, a driving member, an elastic member, and a connecting portion. The driving member is slidably and rotatably disposed to one end of the pole. The other end of the pole has a sleeving portion which may be a rectangular hole. The elastic member presses against the driving member and the pole to make the driving member continuously moving away from the sleeving portion. The connecting portion is configured on the pole or on the driving member. The connecting portion is adapted for a handle to be assembled thereon. Therefore, power tool may be attached to the sleeving portion to provide rotational impulse to detach bolts or nuts. User may hole the impact wrench by a handle which is assembled on the connecting portion, achieving convenience and safety operation condition.

  • Patent number: 9387574
    Abstract: A socket disc tool having a handle and a socket disc comprising a central aperture to receive a fastener, such as a bolt or nut. The socket disc includes a body and is defined by plurality of members extending from the body and away from the central aperture. The members include a concave notch which operatively engages a handle which is used to apply leverage to the socket disc which in turn produces torque to loosen or tighten a fastener. The handle includes at least one slot that is designed to engage the notched members on the socket disc and thereby providing a means to exert torque on a fastener. The configuration of the socket disc and the handle with respect to a fastener permits continuous engagement with a fastener and same direction turning by a simple back and forth motion of the handle.

  • Patent number: 8544560
    Abstract: A drive mechanism is described for moving/controlling objects/mechanisms/systems coupled with a drillstring and/or pipe. The drive mechanism may be axially arranged on a drillstring or pipe, compact, capable of fine control and delivering high torque or the like and may be electrically and/or hydraulically powered. The drive mechanism may comprising a driving member comprising a plurality of drivers linearly translatable with respect to the driving member, each driving member having at their ends a male engaging portion and an associated driven member, comprising a plurality of female receiving portions adapted to receive a male engaging portion, the arrangement being such that linear translation of a driver causes its engaging portion to engage with a female receiving portion and the action of the engaging portion produces a reaction in the receiving portion causing displacement of the driven member in a direction other than that of the translatable driver.

  • Patent number: 7854274
    Abstract: A multi-mode drill can include a transmission to transfer torque from an output member of a motor to an output spindle. A transmission housing encloses the transmission in an interior cavity formed by a gear case shell and a cover plate. The cover plate can be coupled to the outer shell via screws. A static shift rod can be supported at one end by the cover plate. A shift bracket can be mounted on the shift rod and biased to a mode position by a biasing member exerting a force between the shift bracket and the cover plate. A shift pin can be supported adjacent one end by the cover plate and biased to a mode position by a biasing member exerting a force between the shift pin and the cover plate. A spindle biasing member can bias the output spindle against the cover plate. The shift pin can actuate an electronic switch. A motor housing can be coupled to the transmission housing with fasteners so that the cover fasteners are not accessible.

  • Patent number: 7717191
    Abstract: A shift bracket can be mounted on a shift rod for movement between a first, high-speed drilling mode and a second, low-speed drilling mode. Cooperating shift lock surfaces can be associated with the shift bracket and the shift rod, respectively. For example, a groove in the can create a shift lock surface on the shift rod. The shift bracket can be moved into a locked configuration where the cooperating shift lock surfaces can engage each other preventing movement of the bracket out of the high-speed drilling mode. The hammer mode can correspond to the high-speed drilling mode, but not to the low-speed drilling mode. A spring member can bias the bracket toward the locked position. An actuation member can be coupled to the shift bracket to overcome the biasing member and to rotate or perpendicularly move the bracket into an unlocked position. The actuation member can also move the shift member from the first mode to the second mode.

  • Patent number: 7647985
    Abstract: It is an object of the invention to provide an improvement in ease of operation of a driving mode switching mechanism in a hammer drill. According to the invention, a representative hammer drill includes a driving mode switching mechanism which has an operating part, a first switching member and a second switching member. The operating part can be turned to at least three rotating positions in its circumferential direction, while the operating part can be turned 360° on the rotation axis in the both directions. Thus, the user can select the desired driving mode in the shortest turning distance without passing though an unnecessary driving mode position. Therefore, ease of operation in mode change can be enhanced.

  • Patent number: 7377019
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for fastening a first relatively soft structural component such as a wood panel to a second relatively hard structural component such as a steel angle iron using fasteners each having a forward self-drilling portion, a rearward, self-tapping portion, and an outwardly projecting head. The fasteners are driven by a pneumatic rotary impact driver and the method comprises rotatively driving each fastener so as to cause its self-drilling portion to drill a first hole through the wood panel and thereafter rotatively driving and impacting that fastener so as to cause its self-drilling portion to drill a second hole in the angle iron and its self-tapping portion to form a screw connection with the angle iron around the second hole.

  • Patent number: 7051628
    Abstract: An impact wrench is disclosed. The wrench has a handle and a housing pivotally secured to one end of the handle. A socket drive cooperates with the housing and the socket drive receives a socket for engagement with a fastener. A follower is associated with the housing and holds the socket drive in either a first or a second position allowing the wrench to rotate the fastener in either direction and the socket drive being biased to maintain the follower in one of its positions. The socket drive has first and second camming surfaces and when the housing is struck by an impact implement, the following moves relative to one of the surfaces and the socket drive is caused to rotate relative to the housing.

  • Patent number: 6823949
    Abstract: The invention comprises a power impact torque tool that is torque-limited by a novel torque-timing device that controls the amount of time that the tool motor operates after the operator initiates tool operation. The invention also includes the torque-timing device itself and with other tools. The invention further includes the torque-timing device in the form of a modular, releasably-attachable, user-adjustable control apparatus for tools powered by compressable fluids. The torque-time-limiting device allows the user to adjust a needle valve that controls the filling of a reservoir which, when full, provides the pressure required for actuating a shut-off valve.
