Definitions

  • the present invention relates to power driven socket-type ratchet wrenches.
  • socket wrenches that have through openings in the socket is the device shown in U.S. Patent 4,259,883. It has an interchangeable socket member nested in an outer ring, and drive teeth on the exterior of the ring. A ratchet pawl that will engage these teeth for driving the socket with the head and handle is provided. The socket is retained in place within the drive ring with a wire spring member which can be released for dropping the socket out and replacing it with another. The through opening in the socket permits a stud to pass through the socket itself when the socket is being operated.
  • the socket has substantial vertical height, and in view of the retaining mechanism, the necessary vertical or axial height of the wrench and socket is increased substantially. Additionally, the mechanism for releasing the socket from the wrench has two members that are moved for deflecting the spring for removal of the socket. Because the socket itself is driven an outer ring or fitting additional mechanism is required for operation.
  • the socket is not easily removable, but is more or less permanently retained in place with the handle.
  • the handle is split and can be separated for changing sockets.
  • One of the features is that the socket has two different size openings, accessible from the opposite ends of the socket, for use with different size nuts.
  • U. S. Patent 1,292,281 issued to Esterhay on January 21, 1919, shows a ratchet wrench that has a handle, with a pawl that drives an outer ratcheting ring member, which is permanently mounted in the handle.
  • the ring has exterior ratchet teeth thereon for driving, with a square internal opening, and a matching cross section socket that fits into the opening for replacement.
  • the socket is mated in the drive ring with a key and slot arrangement.
  • United States Patent No. 3,529,498, issued September 22, 1970 to Northcut also shows an eccentric drive ratchet wrench operating with a power motor, and having a ball type socket for driving an outer reciprocating element that, operates to drive a ratchet pin that fits onto a conventional socket.
  • a ratchet wrench which has a drive pawl and drive ring mounted in the handle and a replaceable socket that fits within the ring.
  • the socket has a through opening for receiving a stud or bolt.
  • the socket has an outer cross section that fits into an opening in the ratchet drive ring for driving. This increases the size of the head of the socket wrench and makes it less accessible for small clearances.
  • 'U.S. Patent 1,769,070 issued to Nowosielski on July 1, 1930 shows a ratchet wrench having a socket wheel that has teeth on the outer surface thereof and a pawl mounted directly in the handle, which reduces the height of the wrench in direction along the axis of rotation.
  • the socket is retained with balls fitting into a groove around the periphery of the socket, and release of the socket for changing is more difficult with such arrangement.
  • U. S. Patent 2,358,362 issued to Taylor on September 19, 1944, also shows a ratchet wrench with a socket member that has teeth directly on the outside of the socket and which has a head member that forms a type of a "hook" ratchet.
  • the head does not have a socket encircling ring, but rather the socket fits into a receptacle that is open on one side and the socket is retained in place with finger-like springs.
  • U. S. Patent 2,536,172 issued to Halperin on
  • This socket also ratchets upon operation of the handle, and has a through opening for permitting a stud to pass completely through the socket so that the length of the stud or bolt being operated does not cause interference.
  • a ratchet lever is shown in U.S. Patent 4,308,768 issued to Wagner on January 5, 1982 and illustrates a type of socket to be driven which has a head ring for receiving an interchangeable locking ring. It does show a socket member that has a through opening as well.
  • U. S. Patent 4,328,720 issued to Shiel on May 11, 1982 shows another type of sprocket that has a through opening, and which has means for retaining it in place and which has ratchet teeth on the outside.
  • the unit is an insert socket arrangement, so that the ratchet drive - is not to teeth on the socket itself.
  • U.S. Patent No. 3,602,071 shows a gear driven "open end” wrench.
  • the wrench gear is driven by an air motor, but does not ratchet.
  • the present invention relates to a ratchet adapted for power drive that is compact, easily fits into small spaces because it has low height, and which also provides for easily replaceable sockets.
  • a frame member for the present ratchet mounts a ratcheting mechanism that is driven from a power driven crank to oscillate about the socket axis.
  • the wrench includes a handle swivel mounting so that the motor used for driving can be tilted relative to the axis of the socket, other than at a perpendicular relationship.
  • the sockets are retained with a spring loaded retainer which is quickly released, and have teeth defined on the outer surfaces thereof.
  • a driven pawl member engages the teeth on the socket for rotationally driving the socket relative to the frame.
  • the socket has a center opening through the socket, so that the socket can be slid down along an elongated stud to engage a nut, and used to drive the nut to position.
  • the reversal of operational direction is done by turning the socket and handle over, or a reversing ratchet pawl can be used in the same outer frame.
  • the device has a minimal number of parts, but has positive action and is configured for ease of accessibility.
  • the ratcheting mechanism can be- either a one way or reversing drive, as shown.
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view of a powered ratchet wrench having a ratchet head made according to the present invention:
  • Figure 2 is a sectional view taken along a central plane generally perpendicular to the axis of the socket and generally taken along the line 2—2 in Figure 4;
  • Figure 3 is a top plan view of the ratchet shown in Figure 1 with the socket removed;
  • Figure 4 is a sectional view taken as on line 4—4 in Figure 3;

  • a power driven ratchet “ indicated generally at 10 includes an air motor 11, operated through a conventional power handle 12, and connected to a drive -yoke 13 in which a drive crankshaft 15 is rotatably mounted.
  • the drive crankshaft 15 is driven by the air motor.
  • the yoke 13 mounts a ratchet head 14 made according to the present invention.
  • crankshaft 15 is shown and with a ball member 16 slidably and rotatably mounted to a crank pin 16A at the outer end of the crankshaft.
  • the ball crank pin 16A is eccentrically part of the drive crankshaft so that as the crankshaft 15 rotates, the ball 16 will move in an orbit about the crankshaft axis (side to side and up and down) , generally as shown in the dotted lines in Figure 2, and as will be explained, will drive a ratchet pawl mounted in the head 14.
  • the ball also will slide axially a limited amount along the axis of the pin, as well as being able to rotate on the crank pin.
  • the yoke 13 has a pair of spaced-apart ears 20,20 which receive a ratchet head frame 21 therebetween.
  • the ratchet frame 21 is pivotably mounted relative to the ears 20,20 through a pair of pivot pins 22.
  • the heads of the pins 22 mount in suitable openings in the ears 20, and thread into support portions 26 on the frame 21.
  • the screws 22 permit pivoting of the yoke 13 and thus the air motor 11 on the handle about the axis passing through the pins 22.
  • FIG. 3 Also shown in Figure 3 are a pair of detent members indicated generally at 38, which are spring loaded, slidable members 38A that have points that bear against the end surfaces of the support portion 26 of the frame 21.
  • the support portions 26 can have small dimples or recesses 38B therein into which the end portions of members 38A will fit.
  • the ratchet frame 20 is made with a first retaining plate 23, and a second, parallel retaining plate 24. .
  • the plates 23 and 24 are spaced apart in direction along the axis of the socket used and together form a mounting assembly.
  • the plates 23 and 24 are both mounted on a base 25 and have through openings therein which are aligned and will receive a socket.
  • the opening in plate 23 is larger than the opening through plate 24, but coaxial with the opening in plate 24.
  • the base 25 includes the pair of support portions 26,26 as can be seen in Figure 2.
  • the support wall portions 26 are on opposite sides of a central slot opening 27 in which the ball crank member 16 will be permitted to rotate to reciprocate the ratchet pawl.
  • the spaced-apart frame plates 23 and 24 define a flat slot 28 that extends to and intersects the slot opening 27, so a connecting passageway is formed.
  • the ratcheting mechanism is mounted for oscillatory movement in the slots or openings 27 and 28.
  • the openings through plates 23 and 24 form a through bore 31 that extends through the first and second plates 23 and 24.
  • the socket to be driven will be positioned in the bore.
  • a pawl support or drive plate 35 is mounted in the slot 28, between plates 23 and 24 and has a base section 29 which fits into the slot portion 27 extending into the base 25 of the frame 20 between supports 26.
  • the pawl support plate 35 has an irregular shape and the base section 29 in the base area 25 of the frame 21 has greater thickness in direction along the axis of the socket than the portion between the plates 23 and 24 as can be seen in Figure 4, but the base section 29 also is recessed partially to permit pivotally mounting the pawl.
  • a retaining ring 36 extends partway into the socket receiving bore 31 in the frame plate 23, and partly into an annular recess forming a shoulder 35A on one side of the pawl support or drive plate 35 and which surrounds a center bore or opening 43 in the pawl support plate 35 aligning with bore 31. It can be seen in Figure 4 that the ring 36 extends up to substantially flush with the upper surface of the frame plate 23 shown in that view, and is retained in place with a pair of small headed screws shown at 36A, threaded into the frame plate 23 on opposite sides of the bore through the frame. The heads of these screws 36A in the frame extend partially over the ring 36 to retain it in place and to hold the pawl support plate 35 in position for ratcheting action in the frame of the wrench.
  • the base section 29 of the pawl support plate 35 has a tang section 40 that has a receptacle 37 at its end that is of size to receive the ball 16 mounted on the crank pin 16A.
  • the base section 29 also has a recess or receptacle defined on a side surface of the base section to receive a ratchet pawl 41, pivotally mounted on a pin 42 that extends partly into the base section 29 of pawl support plate 35 to hold the pawl 41 as shown in Figure 4.
  • the pawl 41 is positioned in the recess of the base section 29 so that it can pivot about the pin 42.
  • the pawl 41 is urged outwardly toward the central bore 43 defined in the pawl support plate 35 by a spring 44 that has one end held in a spring receptacle in the base section 29.
  • the other end of spring 44 fits into a recess at the back side of the pawl 41.
  • the pawl 41 has pawl teeth shown at 45, and as will be explained, these are used for driving the socket in a ratcheting action.
  • the pawl 41 is shaped so that the spring 44 will only be able to urge the pawl outwardly as shown in Figure 2 until one surface of the hub of the pawl abuts against the surface 48 defined in the receptacle for the pawl that is formed in the base section 29 of pawl support plate 35.
  • the base section 29 has a pair of receptacles on opposite sides thereof for mounting first ends of small compression springs 50, and 51, respectively.
  • the springs 50 and 51 bear against provided surfaces of a releasable socket retainer ring 52.
  • the socket retainer ring has spaced guide ears 53 on opposite sides thereof. The ears are positioned on the outer sides of the outer side surfaces of the base section 29 of the pawl support plate 35 and slide relative to the base section in direction perpendicular to the " socket axis.
  • the springs 50 and 51 will urge the socket retainer ring 52 in direction along a plane perpendicular to the axis of a socket used in the frame, and thus along the plane of frame plates 23 and 24.
  • the axis of the socket used is parallel to the pin 42.
  • the retainer ring 52 is urged outwardly from the base end of the socket frame by the springs 50 and 51. This causes the ring 52 to be urged so that a pair of socket retaining, part annular lugs shown at 54,54 in Figure 3 which are formed on the ring 52 along one side thereof move toward the bore 31 that is formed for receiving a socket.
  • the ring 52 has an opening 66 that is larger than the outer of the socket.
  • a manual tab 56 is provided at the outer edge of the socket retainer ring 52, so that it can be pushed back toward the base of the frame against the force of springs 50 and 51, to move the part annular lugs 54 to position to clear the socket bore 31.
  • the ring opening 66 is large enough so a socket will be permitted to pass through bore 31.
  • the pawl support plate 35 has a recessed slot 56A for guiding the tab 56 for release movement, and also the plate 35 has recesses for the lugs 54, shown at 54A in Figure 1.
  • a typical socket 60 is shown in Figure 5, and includes a cylindrical body that has a splined toothed exterior, generally shown at 61.
  • the spline has a suitable tooth design that will permit ratcheting.
  • An annular groove 62 is formed on the exterior of socket 60, and as shown in Figure 4, this groove 62 will align with the part annular lugs 54 on the socket retainer ring 52, so when the socket is pushed into place in bore 55 (through openings 31 and 43) the lugs 54 will be retracted or slid back against the action of the springs 50 and 51.
  • the gear teeth on the socket slide past the lugs 54 through an opening in ring 52 until the lugs 54 align with groove 62 and the lugs will then snap into the groove 62.
  • an anti-reverse device for retaining the socket 60 from merely being driven in reverse direction when the ratchet is on its return stroke is provided.
  • This anti-reverse device is shown generally at 70, and as seen, the frame 21 has a bore 71 therein that is at an angle with respect to the axis of the drive shaft 15, and is on a plane generally with the ring 24.
  • the bore 71 is through the base 25, and extends in from the side, and fits within the frame side members 20 when the wrench is assembled.
  • the bore 71 slidably mounts an anti-reverse plunger or pin 72 that has teeth or notches 73 formed on the outer end thereof that will mate with the teeth 61 on the socket 60, and this anti-reverse pin 72 is held in place with a stop roll pin 77 that is at right angles to anti-reverse pin 72 and which fits partially into a recess or groove 74 in the pin 72.
  • the teeth 73 will prevent the socket from rotating relative to the wrench frame when the ratchet pawl is on its reverse slide.
  • the ratchet pawl 45 is offset in direction along the axis of the socket from the plunger or pin 72, and thus the socket is held from reversing related to the frame 21 during oscillation of the drive pawl. Even if the friction load on the nut is very light the ratchet will operate to tighten the nut.
  • the snap ring 65 will prevent the socket from slipping past the nut along a stud, for example, when the nut is being driven into place.
  • the stop can be a small pin that is mounted in provided holes in the socket, or can be cast in dimples to prevent the nut from slipping through the socket. In operation, then, the pawl support plate
  • the sockets 60 are made to have suitable interior bores indicated at 68, as shown a hex bore.
  • the bore 68 can be of different sizes for different size nuts, but the outer surface of the socket is of the same size so that the spline or teeth shown at 61 is of the same size as well.
  • the wrench is easily used. To remove the socket pushing the tab 56 to release the part annular teeth 54 will let the socket drop out. The socket also then quickly is reinstalled by merely pushing it into place for use with a different size socket.
  • the ratchet assembly As shown, is flipped over, that is, turned 180° so that the driving would then be the proper direction for tightening or loosening as desired.
  • the conventional air motor 11 can be operated at a desired speed, and because of the pins 22, and detent members 38 the drive unit or handle can be angled relative to the axis of the socket.
  • the specific socket configuration also can be varied.
  • the ratchet pawls could be made to rotate with the socket on a drive ring and the pawl support or drive plate 35 could have internal teeth.
  • the axial height of the frame would remain the same, but the socket configuration would change.
  • FIGs 11-14 a modified form of the ratchet mechanism is illustrated, and the drive and the like is the same as before.
  • the outer ratchet frame 21, including the first retraining plate 23, and the second parallel retaining plate 24 are mounted on a base 25.
  • the plates 23 and 24 have openings that are aligned to receive a socket as previously explained, and the frame has support portions 26,26 that are suitably mounted on opposite sides of a slot opening 27 in which a ball crank member 16 and pin 16A reciprocate.
  • the plates 23 and 24 define a flat slot 28 as in previous forms of the invention, and this intersects the slot opening 27, so a connecting passageway is formed.
  • the ratcheting mechanism in the second form of the invention is mounted for oscillatory movement in the slots or openings 27.
