Patent number: 8864143Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2011Date of Patent: October 21, 2014Inventor: Ying-Mo Lin

Patent number: 8857300Abstract: A joint recognition member is revealed. The joint recognition member includes a joint body formed by a cylinder connected with a polygonal prism. A polygonal hole with a magnet part is set on the cylinder so as to attract driver bits by magnetic force. The device features on that: a narrow neck part with a ring groove is arranged at one end of the cylinder near the polygonal prism. The ring is wrapped around the narrow neck part and outside diameter of the ring is no smaller than that of the cylinder. A protruding ring on the ring is mounted and moved freely in the ring groove. An outer surface of the ring is labeled with words such as size. According to the corresponding polygonal hole, the ring has different shapes and sizes in various colors for fast recognition.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2010Date of Patent: October 14, 2014Assignee: Rote Mate Industry Co., Ltd.Inventor: Ying-Tsung Lai

Patent number: 8800407Abstract: A method of manufacturing a tool bit includes machining a working end into a piece of hexagonal bar stock. A shank adjacent the working end is machined, leaving a hexagonal drive portion adjacent the shank. The tool bit is heat treated, and a coating is applied to the working end, the shank, and the hexagonal drive portion of the tool bit to inhibit corrosion of the tool bit. At least a portion of the shank is polished to remove the coating from the portion of the shank.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 2013Date of Patent: August 12, 2014Assignee: Milwaukee Electric Tool CorporationInventor: Joseph M.

Publication number: 20140216213Abstract: A tool bit includes a plurality of fins each having first and second ends and extended radially and longitudinally and including the second end thereof forming two opposite lateral sides each including a reinforcing section extended therefrom. Two adjacent fins of the plurality of fins form a recess therebetween, which has a curved periphery interconnecting two adjacent reinforcing sections of the two adjacent fins. Each fin defines a first length from the end thereof to the curved periphery of the recess extended from the second end thereof. The first length is smaller than a second length defined between two opposite peripheral sides of a hexagonal periphery of a connecting end of the tool bit.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 6, 2013Publication date: August 7, 2014Applicant: New Way Tools Co., Ltd.Inventor: Ping-Wen Huang
