Definitions

  • the invention relates to a socket wrench extension with a polygonal Insert part on one and a correspondingly designed receiving part on the other end, the male part with one of one of the key faces partially emerging locking element is provided, and wherein a Pressure transmission element, one end of which is cone-shaped or button-shaped designed the pressure actuation of the pressure transmission element is used and the other end of which is part of a mechanism for implementing a Direction of the plug-in axial movement of the Pressure transmission element in an outward movement of the Locking element is guided axially in the plug-in part.
  • the task of the mentioned locking element is, under spring tension in a appropriately designed recess of that receiving part to snap into which insert part of the socket wrench extension is used. In as a rule, this is the receiving part of the socket wrench insert.
  • Snap the locking element into the recess should be too easy Separation of the two tool parts should be prevented, these should only be under Application of a certain axial force can be connected and later released again his. Nevertheless, unintentional loosening can often occur, for example if the socket wrench extension is locked with one Socket wrench insert slightly tilted by one screw or mother must be removed.
  • you can choose between Socket wrench insert and screw or nut result in static friction forces, which are greater than the locking forces of the spring-loaded locking element.
  • a generic socket wrench extension is from US 5,289,745 known.
  • This socket wrench extension is a one-piece component formed, depending on the embodiment, a centric or eccentric arranged longitudinal bore for receiving an actuating rod.
  • the longitudinal hole is either as a through hole or as Blind hole trained. While the former has an end cap on the Front end of the polygonal insertion section requires is at the latter one held over a washer and a snap ring Stop ring in a bore adjoining the receiving section provided to effect the axial fixation of the actuating rod.
  • a disadvantage of the known socket wrench extension is that the axial The actuation rod is guided through the longitudinal bore without exception, so that high demands on the manufacturing tolerance to achieve a Precise guidance is required, resulting in costly manufacturing leads.
  • Another disadvantage of the known socket wrench extension is that either with the locking element in a transverse bore in the insertion section a locking screw or an end cap to prevent it falling out is. This has a high number of components and thus a cost-intensive production and assembly result.
  • the invention has for its object to develop a socket wrench extension in such a way that high functional precision can be achieved with simple assembly and reduced manufacturing costs.
  • Such a socket wrench extension enables one simple and quick installation, which consequently is inexpensive Manufacturing goes hand in hand.
  • the reason for this is that the locking element in front Assemble the socket wrench extension into the insert by the for allows the pressure transmission element to insert the provided bore and thus after insertion of the pressure transmission element without additional Fuse elements are held in the insert part.
  • Receiving part, insert part and tube have been connected to each other the pressure transmission element through the through hole for the Guide bushing are used, especially because the insertion or press-in diameter of the guide bushing is larger than that maximum diameter of the pressure transmission element.
  • This Pressure transmission element has an axial guide and is in the axial direction fixed.
  • the guide bushing can be specially made for axial guidance suitable material with a low coefficient of friction.
  • the socket wrench extension according to the invention is a very good one Hold of the inserted socket wrench on the Socket extension achieved.
  • the pressure transmission element In the insert part of the Socket wrench extension is the pressure transmission element, whose one end transmits the pressure and the other end is part of one Mechanism is to move the pressure transmission element into a To transfer outward movement of the locking element.
  • the other end of the Pressure transmission element is provided with a bevel, which on the radial guided locking element is present.
  • the invention proposed a spring, which one on the pin or Pushing force directed towards the end of the button on the pressure transmission element exercises.
  • the spring is preferably supported with one end the male part and with their other on the pressure transmission element from.
  • the extension that can be used as part of a socket wrench system consists of a receiving part 1 with a molded therein Internal square, a plug-in part 2 with a key surface 21 thereon trained square 5 and a tube 3, which receiving part 1 and insert part 2 rigidly interconnected.
  • the key faces of Receiving part 1 and insert part 2 correspond to the internationally customary and standardized dimensions for socket wrench systems.
  • the insert part 2 is in one of the key surfaces 21 provided with a locking element 4 in the form of a ball.
  • the locking element 4 in its Radial bore 6 is initially pushed back and can then in a snap the recess provided for this into the outer square.
  • a such recess is in the receiving part 1 by a corresponding Hole 7 realized.
  • the spherical is pressed back Locking element 4 in the radial bore 6 against the force of one there arranged spring. This is also the force with which the Outside square 5 is held in a corresponding square, by dependent on the spring force.
  • spherical locking element 4 not directly a spring, but a Pressure transmission element 8 in the form of a rod.
  • the Pressure transmission element 8 is in a longitudinal bore 9 of the insert part 2 led and has at its end a slope 10, which on the inside spherical locking element 4 rests.
  • Within the tube 3 is supported the pressure transmission element 8 by means of a spring 11 on the inner End face of the insert 2.
  • the spring 11 is arranged so that it is on the pressure transmission element 8 exerts a force which tends to Pressure transmission element 8 away from the insertion part 2 and in the direction of to move the receiving part 1.
  • the serving as a pressure transmission element 8 is also in Receiving part 1 guided axially.
  • the through hole 12 of the Receiving part 1 a guide bush 13 is pressed, which in turn Pressure transmission element 8 leads axially, and which also forms a stop, which limits the longitudinal path of the pressure transmission element 8.
  • the insertion diameter of the guide bush 13 is larger than the maximum Diameter of the pressure transmission element 8. In this way, a easier assembly of pressure transmission element 8 and spring 11 allows.
  • Socket wrench extension To assemble the shown in the drawing Socket wrench extension first becomes the spherical locking element 4 brought through its longitudinal bore 9 into its radial bore 6, then receiving part 1, insert part 2 and tube 3 are together connected, preferably by pressing in the inner wall of the tube 3. Then from the receiving part 1, the pressure transmission element 8 with the spring 11 temporarily attached to it by the socket wrench extension passed through to the position shown. Finally, too through the inner square 15, the guide bushing 13 inserted and pressed in the through hole 12.
  • the length of the pressure transmission element 8 is such that this with a pin-shaped end 14 out of the guide bush 13 and in protrudes the inner square 15 of the receiving part 1.
  • the cone-shaped end 14 thus serves to actuate the pressure Pressure transmission element 8 as soon as in the inner square 15 corresponding outside square, z. B. a ratchet wrench introduced becomes.
  • the pressure transmission element 8 takes on the function of a Ram, whose axial movement over the slope 10 to a radial outward movement of the locking element 4 is transmitted, so that this in the position shown in the drawing in a solid line firmly locked. A socket wrench plugged in there can then also be located under Do not release the force effect anymore.
