  • the present invention is applicable to use as a handle of any of various hand tools.
  • screwdrivers are widely used, nearly all kinds of engineering need them, hence in the conventional techniques, screwdrivers are designed to connect the head tips directly on the bottom of handles of hand tools; such structures can have an added value of having two functions, but are respectively of a single specification, the scope of utility of them is limited.
  • the inventor provides a handle of a hand tool capable of using as a screwdriver that can self-contain various head tips well, and the abovementioned problem can thus be solved.
  • the main objective of the present invention is to provide a handle of a hand tool capable of self-containing therein a set of head tips; by pressing a pressing area, the set of head tips can be easily retracted, the contour of the handle is tidy and smooth and has a good appearance.
  • Another objective of the present invention is to provide a handle of a hand tool capable of firmly fixing a head tip on the bottom of main body of the handle.
  • the abovementioned handle of a hand tool of the present invention comprises a handle main body, a set of head tips, a fixing seat and a stop member.
  • the handle main body has a receiving groove on a lateral side thereof, the receiving groove has on one side thereof a hole and has on the other side thereof an opening; the handle main body has an engaging socket on its bottom.
  • the head-tip set includes a base, a protruding column raised from the base and a plurality of holding areas on the base; wherein the holding areas each holds and fixes a head tip, the bottom of each head tip can be matched with a fixing hole on the bottom of the fixing seat on the main body of the handle; when the head-tip set is engaged for assembling with the receiving groove, the top surface of the protruding column forms at the hole of the receiving groove a pressing area for pushing out the head-tip set, and the bottom of the base is made flush with the surface of a lateral side of handle main body.
  • the fixing seat can be engaged and fixed in the engaging socket on the bottom of main body of the handle; the fixing seat is provided on its bottom with the fixing hole extending downwards, an inner wall of the fixing hole has a cut, the fixing hole is provided at its lower end with a slot below the cut.
  • the stop member can be extended through the slot, and has a first stop portion and a second stop portion; so that when the fixing seat is fixedly engaged in the bottom of main body of the handle, the first stop portion can firmly fix the fixing seat on main body of the handle, while the second stop portion can be extended into the abovementioned cut to make firm of the connecting of a head tip with the fixing hole.
  • the handle is comprised of: a handle main body 1, a set of head tips 2, a fixing seat 3 and a stop member 4.
  • the handle main body1 is made of hard plastic covered with an elastic plastic skin; thereby it is good for holding and is not subjected to slipping off.
  • the handle main body 1 has a receiving groove 11 on a lateral side thereof, the receiving groove 11 has on one side thereof a hole 111 and has on the other side thereof an opening 112; the opening 112 is larger than the hole 111, so that the head-tip set 2 can get into the opening 112 and can be partially revealed out of the hole 111.
  • the handle main body 1 is provided near its bottom with a round hole 12; and has an engaging socket 13 on the bottom.
  • the head-tip set 2 includes a base 21, a protruding column 22 raised from the base 21 and a plurality of holding areas 23 on the base 21; wherein the base 21 of the head-tip set 2 includes an upper layer 211 and a lower layer 212; the upper layer 211 is made of hard plastic, the lower layer 212 is an elastic plastic skin same as that of the surface of the handle main body 1.
  • the holding areas 23 of the base 21 each includes a pair of detent sheets with their inner sides bending inwardly for holding the bottom of a head tip 5; each head tip 5 is fixed in a holding area 23.
  • the embodiment of the present invention has four holding areas 23, plus that the fixing seat 3 can always receive a head tip 5, it can have at least five head tips 5 of different sizes and types such as the Phillips Type, slotted type and hexagon type etc.
  • the amount and types of the head tips 5 can design the amount and types of the head tips 5 according to the size of the interior space of handle main body 1, or design to get other kinds of tools rendering suitable for fixing on the holding areas 23; the scope of the present invention is not limited to these.
  • the fixing seat 3 can be engaged and fixed in the engaging socket 13 on the bottom of handle main body 1; the fixing seat 3 is provided on its bottom with a fixing hole 31 extending downwards; the fixing hole 31 and the bottom of a head tip 5 mutually correspond by shape (such as Phillips Type, slotted type and hexagon type).
  • An inner wall of the fixing hole 31 has a cut 311; the fixing hole 31 is provided at its lower end with a slot 312 below the cut 311, an elongate sheet 313 extends down from the two lateral sides of the fixing hole 31, a hole 314 is provided on the elongate sheet 313 for aligning with the abovementioned round hole 12.
  • the stop member 4 is in a shape of "L", it can be extended through the slot 312, and has a first stop portion 41 and a second stop portion 42; so that when the fixing seat 3 is fixedly engaged in the bottom of the handle main body 1, the first stop portion 41 can firmly fix the fixing seat 3 on the handle main body 1, while the second stop portion 42 can be extended into the abovementioned cut 311 to make firm of the connecting of a head tip 5 with the fixing hole 31 (as shown in Figs. 5 and 6).
  • the protruding column 22 raised from the base 21 of the head-tip set 2 is provided on its upper end with a stepped portion 24, a top surface 25 of the protruding column 22 is in the shape of an oval in order that the stepped portion 24 of the protruding column 22 can be aligned and engaged with the inner wall of the hole 111 of the receiving groove 11 in favor of alignment and self-containing, in case of wrong direction, the top surface 25 of the protruding column 22 is unable to be inserted into the hole 111 of the receiving groove 11.
  • the bottom of the base 21 When the head-tip set 2 is assembled in the receiving groove 11, the bottom of the base 21 will be flush with the surface of a lateral side of the handle main body 1; that is, the bottom of the base 21 exactly fills up the opening 112 of the receiving groove 11.
  • the head-tip set 2 When viewing from the side with the opening 112 of the receiving groove 11, the head-tip set 2 is engaged and self-contained in the handle main body 1 and is not subjected to dropping even when in shaking or collision; when viewing from the side with the hole 111 of the receiving groove 11, the top surface 25 of the protruding column 22 forms a pressing area at the hole 111 of the receiving groove 11 for pushing the head-tip set 2 out of the receiving groove 11 by pressing the pressing area, and the head tips 5 are not subjected to losing, the modeling of the handle main body 1 can be gorgeous after assembling.
  • the handle of the hand tool self-contained therein with the head-tip set is applicable to use as a handle of any of various hand tools; thereby functions of the handle of the hand tool is not limited to one kind, the added-on value of the handle of the hand tool can thus be increased, it is thereby extremely industrially valuable.
  • the present invention surely can get the expected objects of it to provide a handle of a hand tool that can be self-contained therein with changeable head tips; the head-tip set is convenient for fixing and retracting from the handle of the hand tool, and the present invention is suitable for use as a handle of any of various hand tools.
  • the present invention is extremely industrially valuable and practicable.
