Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a robust wrench.
  • Taiwanese Patent Publication No. 380471 discloses a conventional wrench including an annular head 20 and a grip 21 extending from the annular head 20.
  • the annular head 20 defines a space 22, a recess 23 communicated with the space 22, a hole 24 communicated with the recess 23, a hole 25 co-centrically communicated with the hole 24 and a hole 26 eccentrically communicated with the hole 24.
  • the space 22 partially overlaps the hole 24.
  • a clutch is put in the recess 23.
  • the clutch includes two claws 40 and a spring 43 between the claws 40.
  • Each of the claws 40 includes a toothed face 41 and a rod 42.
  • An annular gear 30 is put in the space 22.
  • the annular gear 30 includes a toothed internal face 31 for engagement with a nut or a head of a bolt and a toothed external face 33 for engagement with the toothed face 41 of one of the claws 40.
  • a positioning device 60 is put in the hole 26.
  • the positioning device 60 includes a spring 61 and a ball detent 62.
  • a disc 50 is put in the hole 24.
  • the disc 50 includes a central hole 51 through which a bolt is driven into the hole 25.
  • a recess 52 and two recesses 53 are defined in a lower face of the disc 50.
  • the rods 42 are put in the recess 52.
  • the recess 52 includes two opposite walls in contact with the rods 42.
  • the ball detent 62 can be put in one of the recesses 53.
  • a handle 54 is secured to the disc 50.
  • the annular gear 30 is likely to escape the space 22 since it is retained only by means of a portion of the disc 50.
  • the present invention is therefore intended to obviate or at least alleviate the problem encountered in prior art.
  • the primary objective of the present invention is to provide a robust wrench.
  • a wrench includes a handle, a clutch, a detent, a controller, a gear and a C-ring.
  • the handle includes an annular head defining a circular space, a pothole not overlapping the circular space, a channel for communicating the circular space with the pothole, a recess and an annular groove both defined in a wall of the circular space.
  • the clutch includes two claws put in the recess and a spring put between the claws. Each of the claws includes a toothed face and a rod. The claws can easily be put into the recess since the rods can be moved through the channel.
  • a controller is put rotationally in the pothole for moving the rods.
  • the gear is put in the circular space.
  • the gear includes a toothed face for engagement with the toothed face of one of the claws.
  • the C-ring includes an external edge put in the annular groove, an internal edge for retaining the annular gear in the circular space and a gate projecting from an upper face for blocking the channel.
  • a wrench 1 according to a first embodiment of the present invention includes a handle 10, an annular gear 20, a clutch 30 and a controller 40.
  • the handle 10 includes an annular head 11 and a grip (not numbered) extending from the annular head 11.
  • the annular head 11 defines a space 12 and a pothole 13.
  • the space 12 is in the form of a large circle.
  • the pothole 13 is in the form of a small circle not overlapping the large circle.
  • the space 12 is communicated with the pothole 13 through a channel 15.
  • a recess 14 and an annular groove 16 are defined in the wall of the space 12.
  • the recess 14 is communicated with the pothole 13.
  • a hole 17 is defined in the bottom of the pothole 13.
  • the clutch 30 is put in the recess 14.
  • the clutch 30 includes two claws 31 and a spring 32 between the claws 31.
  • Each of the claws 31 includes a toothed face 33 and a rod 34.
  • the claws 31 can be put into the recess 14 since the rods 34 can be moved through the channel 15.
  • a positioning device including a spring 18 and a ball detent 19 is put in the hole 17.
  • the controller 40 is put in the pothole 13.
  • the controller 40 includes a disc 41 and a C-ring 42.
  • the disc 41 includes a recess 43 and two recesses 44 all defined in a lower face.
  • the rods 34 are put in the recess 43.
  • the recess 43 includes two opposite walls for contact with the rods 42.
  • the ball detent 19 can be put in one of the recesses 44.
  • a ridge 45 is formed on an upper face of the disc 41.
  • the disc 41 defines an annular groove 46 so as to receive an internal edge of the C-ring 42.
  • the wall of the pothole 13 defines an annular groove 47 so as to receive an external edge of the C-ring 42.
  • the annular gear 20 is put in the space 12.
  • the annular gear 20 includes a toothed internal face (not numbered) for engagement with a nut or a head of a bolt and a toothed external face 22 for engagement with the toothed face 33 of one of the claws 31.
  • a C-ring 21 includes a gate 23 projecting from an upper face.
  • the C-ring 21 includes an external edge put in the annular groove 16 and an internal edge for retaining the annular gear 20 in the space 12.
  • the channel 15 is shut by means of the gate 21.
  • Figure 5 shows a wrench 1 according to a second embodiment of the present invention.
  • the disc 41 includes a rod 48 projecting from the lower face.
  • An annular groove 49 is defined in the rod 48.
  • the rod 48 is inserted through an aperture 50 defined in the bottom of the pothole 13.
  • a C-clip 51 includes an internal edge put in the annular groove 49 and an external edge for abutment against the annular head 11.
  • the second embodiment is otherwise identical to the first embodiment.
  • Figure 6 shows a wrench 1 according to a third embodiment of the present invention.
  • the disc 41 includes a hole 52 defined in the lower face.
  • a bolt 53 is driven into the hole 52 through the aperture 50.
  • a gear 24 is put in the space 12.
  • the gear 24 includes an insert 25 projecting from a lower face.
  • the insert 25 can be fit in a socket (not shown) that can receive a nut or a head of a bolt.
  • An annular groove 49 is defined in the rod 48.
  • the rod 48 is inserted through an aperture 50 defined in the bottom of the pothole 13.
  • a C-clip 51 includes an internal edge put in the annular groove 49 and an external edge for abutment against the annular head 11.
  • the third embodiment is otherwise identical to the second embodiment.
