Definitions

  • a screw-in aid is already known, which has a clamp with a receiving space for a socket engaging with a screw head. Both the socket and the screw are inserted axially into the receiving space.
  • the drive associated with the end face has a square opening, so that when screwing the bracket is rotated with ( US 4744273 ).
  • the screw in another screwing the screw can be used laterally in a cage. However, the screwdriver must then be adjusted for engagement with the screw head ( GB 28448 ).
  • the invention is based on the object to provide a way to reliably prevent slipping of the socket from the screw head.
  • the invention proposes a holding device with the features mentioned in claim 1. Further developments of the invention are the subject of dependent claims.
  • the holding device thus contains a cage, in which a receiving space is formed, in which the screw head of a screw and standing in engagement with this screw head socket are housed.
  • the protrusions formed on the two end sides of the cage prevent the socket from being disengaged from the screw head.
  • the receptacle is designed so that the socket with respect to its axis of rotation can not be moved laterally. This can be done, for example, that the socket rests at several points on a design of the cage. Since the screw head is in engagement with the socket, it is sufficient if the socket is secured against lateral deflection.
  • the cage it has proven to be particularly useful to design the cage so that the socket together with the screw head can be inserted laterally into the receiving space.
  • the cage can be placed laterally on the combination of screw and socket. This allows the user to first engage the socket with the screw head, and only then postpone the cage.
  • the lateral opening which allows the insertion of socket of the screw, can be designed so that it just pushes through, if necessary, while overcoming a certain inhibition.
  • the user can also the cage, for example hold at the beginning of the screwing process. Even if, at the end of the screwing process, the cage is pulled against the surface, it does not need to rotate, which leads to a protection of the surface.
  • the lateral opening of the cage is designed so that the insertion is then possible when the output of the rotary tool is already engaged with the socket. Then the user can stay in his normal working rhythm.
  • the screw is connected to the socket and the turning tool to the socket. Only then the cage is then pushed laterally.
  • At least one projection is provided both to rest on the drive side of the socket and to rest on the underside of the screw head, which ensures the cohesion of the two intermeshing parts. It makes sense to have a plurality of projections distributed over the circumference which, in a further development of the invention, can each be designed as a continuous partial annular projection. This applies both to the attack on the underside of the screw head and the attack on the drive side of the socket.
  • the drive side is the side of the socket to which the driven screwdriver is connected to the socket.
  • the projections on the two end sides can protrude into the interior of the cage in different radial directions.
  • the projection on the end face assigned to the socket must leave the drive configuration of the socket free, while the projection on the end face of the receiving space associated with the screw head must permit the passage of the screw shaft.
  • the cage is used to fix the socket in the transverse direction and also to hold together the socket and screw head in the axial direction. It may, for example, consist of individual rods arranged along a half circular arc, whereby the cage has approximately the shape of a half-cylinder.
  • the cage is designed as a partial hollow cylinder whose inner diameter corresponds to the outer diameter of the socket.
  • the hollow cylinder extends over half an arc length.
  • the cage designed as a hollow cylinder may also extend tangentially to the circumference beyond an axial plane, in which region the side walls then run parallel.
  • For holding the socket in the receiving space may be provided in the simplest case, put a clip around the cage. This clip can be removed either when inserting the socket and screw head in the receiving space and then put back on.
  • a securing device can be provided, which holds the socket in the cage. If the socket is held, it also holds the screw head at the same time.
  • the securing device can have a spring clip, in particular in the form of a ring section or a half ring.
  • the ring portion may be slidably guided in the cage and in the open state, allow the screw head and nut to be inserted and, when closed, hold both in the cage.
  • locking means may be provided to lock the half-ring in the two positions.
  • this securing device may be that the edges of the lateral opening of the cage form this securing device. These may for example have a mutual distance from each other, which is slightly smaller than the diameter of the socket. This means that the socket must be snapped into the receiving space.
  • At least one edge of this opening is formed deformable, for example by an elastic lip.
  • the entire cage is resilient to a small extent, for example, when it is designed as a hollow cylinder.
  • Yet another possibility for forming the securing device can be realized in arranging a magnet in the wall of the receiving space.
  • a further possibility for securing may be that a displaceable or tiltable latch is provided on the cage, which is pushed or tilted over the opening.
  • FIG. 1 a socket 1 is shown, which has a circular cylindrical cross-section in its upper region.
  • the socket 1 has an in FIG. 1 top flat surface 2 shown above with a square recess 3 on.
  • the square recess serves to transmit a torque by an electric screwdriver.
  • the socket 1 is in engagement with the screw head of an indicated screw 4.
  • the socket 1 is arranged in a cage 5, which forms a receiving space 6 for the socket 1 and the screw head of the screw 4.
  • the cage 5 is formed by a partial cylinder 7, which corresponds to the in FIG. 1 visible front is open.
  • the cage 5 designed as a hollow cylinder 7 contains in each case an inwardly directed partial annular projection 8 or 9, which extends in each case over approximately half the arc length.
  • the outer diameter of the in FIG. 1 upper circular cylindrical portion of the socket 1 corresponds to the inner diameter of the hollow cylinder 7. This ensures that the socket 1 is in the cage 5 can move in the direction of the open side, but not in other directions.
  • the inner diameter of the hollow cylinder 7 may be slightly larger than the outer diameter of the circular cylindrical portion of the socket. 1
  • the second partial annular projection 9 is formed, which also projects into the interior 6 of the cage 5 and there forms a contact surface for the underside of the screw head 13 of the screw 4.
  • FIG. 4 it can also be seen that the projections 8 and 9 protrude differently far the interior space 6.
  • the projection 9 must leave room for the screw shaft 4, while the projection 8 must allow access to the recess 3 of the end face 2 of the socket 1.
  • FIG. 2 shows the holding device from the opposite direction opposite the representation of the FIG. 4 ,
  • a permanent magnet 15 is mounted in the wall of the cage 5.
  • the permanent magnet 15 holds the socket 1, which is usually made of ferromagnetic material, ie steel, fixed. This ensures that in the normal working conditions, the socket 1 with respect to the cage 5 can not move laterally.
  • the axis of the socket and thus the screw is marked by a 16 in FIG. 2 displayed.
  • the axis is indicated by the mark 16. It can therefore be seen that the cage extends not only up to the mark center 16 corresponding axial center plane, but beyond this level. However, beyond this plane, the cross-sectional shape is no longer that of a circular cylinder, but the side walls are parallel to each other in this area. Otherwise, the insertion of the socket 1 would no longer be possible.
  • the use of the holding device proposed by the invention is as follows. First, the socket 1 is attached to the screw head 13. Subsequently, the cage 5 is pushed from the side of the combination of socket 1 and screw head 13, for example, from the right in FIG. 3 , Pushing is done until the outer surface of the socket 1 rests against the inside of the cage. In this position, the socket 1 is held by the permanent magnet 15. Thus, the holding device is ready for use.
  • the drive of the screwdriver is connected to the recess 3 in the end face 2 of the socket 1 and the screwing can begin. The screwing process can continue until the lower end face 12 of the cage 5 is located just before the surface of the material into which the screw 4 is screwed. Then the holding device can be removed and the rest then without the Retaining device to be screwed on. In this end, the risk of slipping no longer exists.
