Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a one-way torque tool and, more particularly, to a one-way torque tool that requires a small angle of neutral rotation before active rotation can be executed again.
  • a conventional torque tool is often used to drive a nut or screw.
  • a wrench may be used to drive a nut or screw.
  • a screwdriver may be used to drive a screw.
  • An Allen key may be used to drive a screw.
  • a one-way torque tool is often used to drive a nut or screw in a limited space.
  • a one-way torque tool may be a one-way (or "ratchet") wrench or screwdriver.
  • a one-way wrench includes a handle extending from a hollow head, a rotor rotationally placed in the head, and a one-way driving unit or transmission arranged between the head and the rotor.
  • a one-way screwdriver includes a handle, a rotor rotationally placed in the handle, and a one-way driving unit or transmission arranged between the handle and the rotor.
  • the one-way transmission generally includes a pawl pivotally connected to the head or handle and a toothed wheel co-axially connected to the rotor.
  • rotor In operation, then rotor is engaged with a nut or screw via a socket for example, and the handle is rotated to and fro.
  • the rotor is driven by the handle via the one-way transmission as the pawl is engaged with the toothed wheel when the handle is rotated in an active direction.
  • the rotor is not driven by the handle via the one-way transmission as the pawl is disengaged from the toothed wheel when the handle is rotated in a neutral direction.
  • a ratchet tool includes a head 30, an engaging ring 40, a pawl 50 and a spring 34.
  • the engaging ring 40, the pawl 50 and the spring 34 are placed in the head 30. Biased by the spring 34, teeth of the pawl 50 are engaged with teeth of the engaging ring 40.
  • a reversing-ratchet wrench includes a lever 10 formed with a fulcrum end 12, a pawl carrier 20 placed in the fulcrum end 12, a double pawl element 27 supported on the pawl carrier 20, and a ratchet drive selector mechanism 30 connected to the double pawl element 27.
  • the ratchet drive selector mechanism 30 is used to bring teeth formed on a selected one of two ends of the double pawl element 27 with teeth formed on an internal side of the fulcrum end 12.
  • the reversing-ratchet wrench is switched between a tightening mode and a loosening mode.
  • a similar wrench can be found in US Patent No. 4261233 .
  • US Patent No. 5074174 discloses a socket wrench including a body 1, a ratchet member 108 and a plurality of socket members 102, 103 and 104.
  • the ratchet member 108 and the socket members 102, 103 and 104 are placed in the body 1.
  • the ratchet member 108 includes two pawls 180 and 181 and a cam 182. By operating the cam 182, teeth of a selected one of the pawls 180 and 181 is engaged with teeth of the socket member 104.
  • the handle after the handle is rotated in the active direction to drive the nut or screw, the handle must be rotated in the neutral direction for the angle of at least one tooth to return the pawl into engagement with the toothed wheel before the handle can be rotated in the active direction to drive the nut or screw again.
  • the toothed wheel includes twenty-four teeth, i.e., the angle of each tooth is 15°
  • the handle must be rotated in the neutral direction for at least 15° before the handle can be rotated in the active direction to drive the nut or screw again. There is however not enough space for the rotation of the handle in the neutral direction for the angle of one tooth.
  • the number of the teeth can be increased to reduce the angle of a tooth. As disclosed in US Patent No. 6666111 for example, the number of the teeth is 90 to 180 so that the angle of one tooth is 4° to 2°. As the number of teeth is large, the size of the teeth is small, and the strength of the teeth is low. The teeth could easily be worn away.
  • the number of the teeth is constant, i.e., the angle of one tooth is constant.
  • a user may not be able to exert large torque if he or she chooses to use a toque tool with a large number of teeth such as disclosed in US Patent No. 6666111 in limited space.
  • a torque tool to allow a user to exert large torque in limited space.
  • a torque tool with two pawls and two switches is known, wherein the two pawls are oriented in opposite rotational direction so that by use of the switches the active direction can be selected.
  • a torque tool with six pawls is known, wherein the pawls are arranged such that even a slight rotation in a reverse direction is prevented.
  • a torque tool with two double claws and a switch is known, wherein the switch allows to select which of the two corresponding claw portions of the pawls are engaging ratchets with a 180° angle in between, so that the active direction can be selected.
  • a torque tool with two claws is known, wherein the two with 180° displaced claws serve to double the number of effective available ratchets.
  • a torque tool with four pawls is known, which otherwise has the features of the preamble of claim 1, but which lacks an operation mode in which a reduced number of effective ratchets is available, so that the user can adjust the operation mode to whether a large or small space is available.
  • the present invention is therefore intended to obviate or at least alleviate the problems encountered in prior art.
  • the one-way torque tool includes the features as defined by claim 1.
  • the wrench 20 includes a head 21, a rotor 30 rotationally placed in the head 21, a switch 40 and a one-way transmission 50.
  • the one-way transmission 50 is arranged between the head 21 and the rotor 30.
  • the head 21 can be rotated in an active direction to drive the rotor 30 via the one-way transmission 50.
  • the head 21 can be rotated in a neutral direction opposite to the active direction without driving the rotor 30 via the one-way transmission 50.
  • the switch 40 is operable to change a minimum angle of the rotation of the head 21 in the neutral direction before the head 21 can be rotated in the active direction to drive the rotor 30 via the one-way transmission 50 again.
  • the head 21 includes an upper space 28 axially defined therein and a lower space 29 axially defined therein.
  • the upper space 28 is made with a diameter larger than that of the lower space 29.

  • the one-way transmission 50 preferably includes thirty-six ratchets 51 for engagement with two pawls 60 for example.
  • the one-way transmission 50 may include another proper number of ratchets 51 and another proper number of pawls 60.
  • the ratchets 51 are formed on the wall of the lower space 29 of the head 21.
  • the angle ⁇ of each of the ratchets 51 is 10°.
