BEARING ADJUSTER
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to an adjuster, and more particularly to a bearing adjuster.
2. Description of Related Art
A conventional bearing adjuster includes a grip having an inner end fixed with a combining rod with a combining hole. One or more positioning press blocks to be fitted with the grip are respectively formed with different diameters and bored with a central insert hole and respectively formed with a first fitting member, a first holding edge, a second fitting member and a second holding edge.
A combining member is combined with the combining hole of a grip. By having the fitting member and the holding edge of the positioning press block respectively contacting closely with the inner wall and the upper edge of the conventional bearing, hammering force can be applied evenly to position smoothly and quickly the bearing in the insert hole of an axle.
However, the conventional bearing adjuster is inconvenient due to the positioning press block of the conventional bearing adjuster is necessary to be replaced with a positioning press block having different diameter. In particular, it is very inconvenient that a user should carry a numerous of positioning press blocks for suiting different requirements.
The main objective of the present invention is to provide an improved bearing adjuster.
To achieve the objective, the bearing adjuster in accordance with the present invention comprises a grip including an impact receiver disposed thereon to provide for receiving impact form external forces. A rotatable wheel is mounted with the grip. The rotatable wheel has a through hole centrally defined therein. The rotatable wheel has a handle disposed on a top thereof. The handle has multiple recesses equidistantly radially defined in an outer periphery thereof to provide a grasp effect for a user. The rotatable wheel has multiple arc grooves spirally and concentrically defined in a bottom thereof. A top of the rotatable wheel has multiple scales disposed on an edge thereof. The bottom of the rotatable wheel has multiple notches defined in an edge thereof and respectively corresponding to the multiple scales. An adjusting member has spindle extending from a top thereof. The spindle is connected to grip via the through hole in the rotatable wheel. The adjusting member has an inserting slot laterally defined therein. The adjusting member has multiple grooves radially defined therein for corresponding to the multiple arc grooves. Each groove in the adjusting member has two ribs respectively formed on two inside thereof. .Each groove has a movable member movably received therein. Each movable member has two sliding slots respectively defined in two lateral sides thereof for corresponding to the two ribs of the groove such that the each movable member is slidably received in a corresponding groove in the adjusting member. Each movable member has a stub extended form a top thereof to be received in a corresponding one arc groove in the rotatable wheel. A position member is partially received in the inserting slot and disposed on a lateral of the rotatable wheel. The position member has a Vshaped inserter laterally extended from a bottom thereof for partially receiving in the inserting slot. The inserter has a position rib extended from a distal end thereof for positioning in the inserting slot. The position member has an indictor disposed on a top thereof for cooperatively corresponding to the scales of the rotatable wheel. The position member having a position groove laterally defined in a middle thereof and being adjacent to the inserter for complementally receiving the edge of the rotatable wheel, the position member having a protrusion extended from an inner periphery of the position groove for corresponding to the notches of the rotatable wheel.
The rotatable wheel is rotatable relative to the grip and the adjusting member. When the rotatable wheel is rotated, the stub of each movable is pressed by the corresponding arc groove to move along the corresponding groove in the adjusting member such that each movable member is moved relative to each other along the corresponding groove in the adjusting member for adjusting a distance between each other for adjusting a distance between each other for adapted to assemble with bearings having different sizes.
