Definitions

  • This invention relates to a multiple bit tool, and, more particularly, to a multiple bit tool such as a screwdriver according to the pre-characterising portion of claim 1.
  • a multiple bit type tool of this kind is known from the document US-A-4227430.
  • a mechanism includes a rotatable disk at the anterior end of the handle in which a slot acts to guide one bit at a time from the storage chamber, or magazine, into the chuck.
  • the bits can be gravity fed from the storage chamber directly into the chuck.
  • a screwdriver type tool comprising a chuck, a first shaft extending from the chuck and within a handle, and a second barrel shaft longitudinally movable on the first shaft from a first position wherein the second barrel shaft is substantially wholly within the handle to a second position wherein the second barrel shaft is substantially outside the handle.
  • An end-cap mounted on and movable with the second barrel shaft closes the end of the handle when the second barrel shaft is in the first position and opens the end of the handle when the second barrel shaft is in the second position.
  • a bit storage magazine is mounted on and moves with the second barrel shaft. The magazine is within the handle when the second barrel shaft is in the first position and outside the handle when the second barrel shaft is in the second position, thereby allowing storage of a plurality of bits in the magazine and removal of selected bits therefrom.
  • a tool conveniently a screwdriver is generally illustrated at 10 in Figure 1. It comprises a first stationary shaft 11, an injection moulded hollow handle 12 which surrounds the circumference of one end of first stationary shaft 11, and an end-cap 13 which forms an enclosure with hollow handle 12 and is movable relative to the handle 12 as will be explained.
  • the first stationary shaft 11 includes a flat portion 14 with which the injection moulded handle 12 makes contact.
  • the first stationary shaft 11 also includes hexagonal opening or chuck 15 operable to accept a tool bit.
  • the opposite end of first stationary shaft 11 to the chuck 15 exhibits a reduced diameter 16 and includes a plurality of circumferential teeth 17.
  • a bit storage magazine generally illustrated at 20 includes a second, hollow barrel shaft 21 with a plurality of outwardly extending fins 24 about its circumference, each pair of fins being operable to accept and retain a tool bit having a circumference of a size to fit in chuck 15.
  • Second barrel shaft 21 includes a section having a narrower internal diameter or collar 22 and a concave bevel 23 at the opposite end.
  • the internal diameter 22 is only slightly larger than the outer diameter of the first stationary shaft 11 such that second barrel shaft 21 may be reciprocated along first stationary shaft 11.
  • First and second Flanges 27, 28 preferably extend from barrel shaft 21 on either side of fins 24.
  • Flanges 27 and 28 are spaced apart by a distance slightly larger than the length of the longest tool bit to be stored between fins 24 and serve to prevent excessive longitudinal displacement of tool bits stored in magazine 20. More particularly, first flange 27 prevents tool bits which are held between fins 24 from slipping down inside handle 12 when magazine 20 is in its extracted position (as discussed below). Second flange 28 prevents tool bits which are being held between fins 24 from sliding towards end-cap 13.
  • a retaining ring generally illustrated at 30 ( Figure 6) is in the form of a cylinder 31 with an opening 32 operable to accept the end of first stationary shaft 11 and teeth 17, and a circular spring type clip 33 having a plurality of arms 35 which is operable to be inserted into and produce friction against the second barrel shaft 21 and to temporarily lock into bevel 23 in second barrel shaft 21 as the flexible arms 35 expand after passing over bevel 23.
  • End-cap 13 ( Figure 4) includes an opening 40, opening 40 being operable to accept in a press fit the bevel end of the second barrel shaft 21.
  • End-cap 13 also includes a tapered sleeve 41 operable to be inserted into handle 12 to provide positive connection between end-cap 13 and handle 12 and to provide radial support to the handle opening. The taper in sleeve 41 eases entry of end-cap 13 into handle 12 and also facilitates alignment between said end-cap and said handle.
  • the handle 12 also includes a bearing cap 50 at its anterior end.
  • the bearing cap 50 rotates on and relative to handle 12.
  • second barrel shaft 21 is placed over first stationary shaft 11 and the magazine 20 is completely inserted into the hollow handle 12 by sliding along the circumference of the first shaft 11. With the magazine 20 in this fully inserted position within handle 12, the end portion of first stationary shaft 11 is accessible through the end of second barrel shaft 21. Retaining ring 30 is inserted into second barrel shaft 21 such that opening 32 in retaining ring 30 is slipped over the end of first stationary shaft 11 until it is locked in place by the action of the teeth 17. Magazine 20 is then extracted from hollow handle 12 while retaining ring 30 remains attached to first stationary shaft 11 while, as earlier described, spring clip 33 produces friction against the inside of second barrel shaft 21.
  • second barrel shaft 21 is then inserted into the opening 40 of end-cap 13 and is bonded in place chemically or otherwise. A pocket is thus formed between the second barrel shaft bevel 23 and the end-cap 13 which accepts the expansion of the spring clip 33 in its locked position.
  • the magazine 20 is extracted from within the hollow handle 12 by pulling the end-cap 13.
  • the second barrel shaft 21 travels along first stationary shaft 11, guided by the narrow diameter restriction or collar 22 at its anterior end and by the friction caused by compression of spring clip 33 against the inner hollow diameter of second barrel shaft 21.
  • spring clip 33 is withdrawn from the pocket formed by bevel end 23 of second barrel shaft 21 and compressed against the inner hollow diameter of second barrel shaft 21.
  • the magazine 20 is extracted until the narrow diameter restriction 22 in second barrel shaft 21 comes into contact with the anterior end of the retaining ring 30.
  • the plurality of pairs of fins 24 and their retained tool bits are fully exposed to the user.
  • the user may inspect the bits and select the desired one by rotating magazine 20 and applying an outward radial force to unclip the bit from the fins 24. A bit no longer needed can be placed between an unused pair of fins 24 by applying an inward radial force.
  • the magazine 20 is then reinserted into the hollow handle 12 by pushing on end-cap 13.
  • the spring clip 33 will have travelled into the pocket formed between the second barrel shaft bevel 23 and the end-cap orifice 40 so as to maintain the end-cap 13 in its closed position.
  • the spring clip 33 will expand within the pocket and lock the magazine 20 into the closed position.
  • a further feature of the invention allows the end-cap 13 to be rotatable about stationary shaft 11 and relative to handle 12 when the magazine 20 is in its closed position.
  • This mechanism allows the user to apply a driving or axial force with one hand and a torque to the tool with the other.
  • the user places the palm of one hand on the end-cap 13 and applies a force along the axis of the tool.
  • the torque is applied by the user grasping the screwdriver handle 12 and rotating it about the end-cap 13.
  • the bearing 50 may be held and the handle 12 rotated so as to rotate the tool and bit relative to bearing 50.
