Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a socket wrench, and particularly to a socket wrench in which, when tightening or loosening various bolts and nuts, a proper socket unit fitting to the bolt or nut can be easily selected and used by coupling or detaching upper and lower socket assemblies.
  • Korean Utility Model Publication No. 84-2675 and 83-1343 are the prior art for the present invention, and, of them, the former has the following features. That is, a plurality of socket members are provided in such a manner that they can be used for bolts and nuts of various sizes without changing the socket members. However, in this device, a proper socket member has to be selected and is let to be projecting forwardly in order to use it for a bolt or nut. Therefore, the projecting portion receives intensive stresses during the use, and therefore, when designing the tool, the projecting portion has to be given a sufficient thickness so as to have a sufficient strength, with the result that the total bulk of the tool is increased.
  • socket members of different sizes are provided, and, in accordance with the need, a proper socket member has to be attached in the form of replacement.
  • a plurality of socket members have to be carried separately, and therefore, various inconveniences are accompanied, as well as there is the apprehension that the socket members might be lost.
  • the document EP-A-0 087 243 discloses an adjustable socket wrench wherein the socket is shaped to engage a nut or the like and has at least one insert which is geometrically similar to the interior work part of the socket.
  • the inserts are sliding close fit within the socket so as to be movable to and from a position of use and so that either the socket or an insert can be used to engage a nut.
  • means are provided to urge the corresponding insert towards the position of use and wherein means are provided for selectively restraining the selected number of inserts in the position of use.
  • the present invention is intended to overcome the above described disadvantages of the conventional devices.
