Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a screw holder mounted on a driver bit such as an electric screwdriver, and more particularly, to a screw head whose top surface is flush with a surface to be screwed. And a screw holder having a function of setting a screwing amount.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art When a screw is screwed onto a floor or a wall using an electric screwdriver or the like, the electric screwdriver is operated with the tip of a screwdriver bit inserted into a groove in the screw head. At this time, the screw may be detached from the driver bit or may be tilted from the axis of the driver bit due to vibration or the like. For this reason, it is difficult to screw the screw quickly or to screw the screw perpendicularly to the floor or the like, and it is necessary to have skilled skills to screw the screw properly. Was.

[0003] Under such circumstances, a screwdriver bit is required to prevent the screw from being disengaged or tilted at the start of screwing, and to allow the screw to be screwed properly without requiring skilled skills. A screw holder having a function of holding a screw has been proposed and is currently in practical use.
FIG. 12 shows a known screw retainer of this type. The screw retainer 61 is provided with a driver bit 63 attached to a chuck 62 of an electric screwdriver. The main structure is provided with an inner cylinder 64 externally fitted to and mounted on the outer cylinder 65, and an outer cylinder 65 externally slidably fitted on the outer circumference of the inner cylinder 64 in an axially slidable manner. A compression coil spring 66 that urges the distal end 65 toward the distal end is provided. A screw holding means 67 made of a plurality of wires is provided on the inner peripheral side of the outer cylinder 65 so as to surround the distal end of the driver bit 63.

[0004] While inserting the head of the screw 69 between the wires 67, a driver bit 63 is fitted into the groove of the screw 69, and the screw 69 is screwed into a screwed surface 70 such as a floor surface or a wall surface. As a result, the distal end of the outer cylinder 65 comes into contact with the threaded surface 70 and retreats toward the proximal end against the compression coil spring 66, and the inner cylinder 64 and the driver bit 63 move toward the distal end in opposition to this. As a result, the screw 69 is released from the wire 67 and the tip of the driver bit 63 is
5, the entire screw can be screwed into the screwed surface 70.

[0005]

In the above prior art, the screw 69 can be securely held in the driver bit 63 by the screw holding means 67 made of wire. Although the work can be performed properly without tilting, even after the screw 69 is completely screwed into the threaded surface 70, the outer cylinder 65 is retreated and screwed down unless the operation of the driver is stopped. 6
The screwing of No. 9 progressed, and the screw 69 was immersed in the threaded surface 70, damaging the threaded surface 70 and deteriorating the appearance.

Conversely, if the driver is stopped early to prevent the screw 69 from immersing, the screwed surface 70 of the screw 69 is stopped.
This raises the possibility that the appearance will deteriorate or the screw 69 will be hooked on the surrounding objects.
That is, the above-mentioned conventional screw holder only has a screw holding function (catch function), but does not have a function of setting the screw engagement amount (adjuster function). Although the screw can be screwed properly, it is necessary to leave the judgment of the screwing termination to the operator, and after all, a skilled skill is required.

In view of the above, the present invention provides a screw holder having an adjuster function for appropriately setting the screwing amount of a screw in addition to a catch function for holding a screw. An object of the present invention is to enable a screw screwing operation to be performed properly without requiring skill.

[0008]

The present invention employs the following technical means to achieve the above object. That is,
The screw retainer according to the present invention includes an inner cylinder 9 that can be externally fitted to and mounted on the driver bit 3, and is externally fitted to the outer peripheral portion of the inner cylinder 9 so as to be movable in the axial direction, and is prevented from being removed from the inner cylinder 9. The outer cylinder 10 urged toward the distal end in the axial direction in a state where the outer cylinder 10 is provided, and the inner cylinder 9 is provided at the distal end of the outer cylinder 10 so as to move to the proximal end side with respect to the outer cylinder 10. A holding means 27 that can hold the screw 4 attached to the tip of the driver bit 3 when it is in the position, and releases the holding of the screw 4 as the inner cylinder 9 moves toward the tip with respect to the outer cylinder 10. First setting means 20 for setting a movement limit of the inner cylinder 9 toward the distal end side with respect to the outer cylinder 10;
0, the screw 4 mounted on the driver bit 3 is screwed flush with the threaded surface 50a so that the screw 4 attached to the driver bit 3 is flush with the threaded surface 50a. And a second setting means 22 for setting an amount of protrusion e from the distal end surface 33 of the tube 10.

According to this screw holder, the tip of the driver bit 3 is fitted into the groove of the head of the screw 4 and is held in the fitted state via the holding means 27. Start screwing on. At this time, screw 4
Is securely held by the holding means 27, so that it can be easily screwed in a vertical state with respect to the screwed surface 50a without coming off or tilting from the driver bit 3.

As the screwing proceeds, the distal end surface 33 of the outer cylinder 10 comes into contact with the threaded surface 50a, and the inner cylinder 9 moves toward the distal end with respect to the outer cylinder 10. At this time, the inner cylinder 9
The driver bit 3 moves to the movement limit set by the first setting means 20, and when the movement limit is reached, the driver bit 3 projects from the distal end surface 33 of the outer cylinder 10 by a predetermined protrusion amount e.

The protrusion amount e of the driver bit 3 is set by the second setting means 22 so that the screw 4 is screwed flush with the screwed surface 50a. It is possible to prevent the screw 4 from immersing or floating with respect to 50a. That is, according to the screw holder of the present invention, by providing the screw catching function and the adjuster function, the screw can be properly screwed from the start to the end of the work without requiring skilled skills.

The outer cylinder 10 of the screw holder according to the present invention.
Are fitted around the inner cylinder 9 so as to be rotatable around the axis of the driver bit 3. According to this, when the distal end surface 33 of the outer cylinder 10 comes into contact with the threaded surface 50a, the friction between the outer cylinder 10 and the threaded surface 50a does not follow the driver bit 3. Thus, the threaded surface 50a can be prevented from being damaged.

The outer cylinder 10 of the screw holder according to the present invention.
Is provided with a bulging portion 17 bulging in the radial direction at the tip thereof,
The bulging portion 17 is provided with the holding means 27, and the distal end surface 33 of the bulging portion 17 is a contact surface that comes into contact with the mating surface 50a. According to this, by forming the bulging portion 17 at the distal end portion of the outer cylinder 10, the distal end surface 33 of the bulging portion 17 is brought into contact with the threaded surface 50a while securing a place where the holding means 27 is provided. By doing so, the corresponding surface can be formed wider, and the function as a stopper of the driver bit 3 can be improved without damaging the screwed surface 50a.

[0014] The holding means 2 of the screw holder according to the present invention.
Reference numeral 7 denotes a plurality of through-holes 28 penetrating the bulging portion 17 in the radial direction, and is capable of being inserted in each through-hole 28 so as to be movable in the radial direction and projecting the inner surface to the inner periphery of the outer cylinder 10. And a biasing member 31 for biasing each holding member 29 in a direction protruding toward the inner periphery of the outer cylinder 10.

According to this, the outer periphery of the screw 4 can be held by the inner side surface of the holding member 29 projecting to the inner periphery of the outer cylinder 10, and the holding member 29 is urged in the projecting direction by the urging member 31. As a result, the screws 4 can be securely held, and the screws can be smoothly inserted and removed between the holding members 29.
Further, the holding means 27 can be provided inside the bulging portion 17 with a simple configuration.

The second setting means 22 of the screw holder according to the present invention is provided with a shoulder 5a at the tip of the driver bit 3 so as to set the amount of protrusion of the driver bit 3 from the tip of the inner cylinder 9 to a predetermined value. Abutment portions 23 that come into contact with the contact portions. According to this, by projecting the inner cylinder 9 against the shoulder 5a of the driver bit 3 formed with strict dimensional accuracy, the amount of protrusion of the driver bit 3 from the inner cylinder 9 and, consequently, the outer cylinder The protrusion amount e from the position 10 can be made strict, and the screwing amount of the screw can be set reliably.

The abutment portion 23 of the screw holder according to the present invention is characterized in that the abutment portion 23 is formed on an inclined surface which can abut the inclined surface formed by the shoulder portion 5a. According to this, the position of the inner cylinder 9 is surely controlled and rattling is reduced by bringing the contact stopper 23 into surface contact with the shoulder 5a.
There is an advantage that the deviation of the protrusion amount can be prevented.

[0018]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 to 9 show a screw holder 1 according to a first embodiment of the present invention. This screw holder 1
Is used by being removably attached to a driver bit 3 such as an electric screwdriver 2. The driver bit 3 to which the screw holder 1 is attached is a bit portion to be fitted into a groove 4 a formed in the head of a Phillips screw 4. 5 are provided at both ends in the axial direction.
The arc groove 7 to which the chuck 2a is connected is formed.

The screw holder 1 according to the present invention comprises:
A catch function for holding the bit portion 5 fitted in the groove 4a of the screw 4, and the screw 4 is screwed flush with the threaded surface 50a of the threaded member 50 such as a floor or a wall. It has both an adjuster function for setting the screwing amount. The screw holder 1 includes an inner cylinder 9 that can be externally fitted to and attached to the driver bit 3 and an outer cylinder 10 that is axially movable around the outer periphery of the inner cylinder 9 and relatively rotatably fitted. Mainly, the inner cylinder 9 and the outer cylinder 10 are formed of metal members.

At the base end (the upper end in FIGS. 1 and 2) of the inner cylinder 9, an annular protruding piece 16 that protrudes in the radial direction is integrally formed. On the other hand, a swelling portion 17 swelling in the radial direction is formed on the distal end side (lower end portion in FIGS. 1 and 2) of the outer cylinder 10, and an inner space is formed between the swelling portion 17 and the protruding piece 16. A biasing means 18 composed of a compression coil spring is mounted on the outer periphery of the cylinder 9 and the outer cylinder 10.

The urging means 18 urges the outer cylinder 10 toward the distal end with respect to the inner cylinder 9. A concave groove 12 is formed in the middle part of the outer periphery of the inner cylinder 9 in the axial direction, and a retaining member 13 made of a C pin or the like is fitted into the concave groove 12. On the other hand, a storage groove 14 having a predetermined width in the axial direction is formed on the inner periphery of the outer cylinder 10, and the outer peripheral side of the retaining member 13 is inserted into the storage groove 14.

When the outer cylinder 10 is moved in the axial direction with respect to the inner cylinder 9, the retaining member 13 fitted in the groove 12 moves in the storage groove 14, and as shown in FIG. The retaining member 13 is interposed between the inner cylinder 9 and the proximal end 14a of the storage groove 14, thereby preventing the outer cylinder 10 from being removed from the inner cylinder 9. The urging member 18 is
The outer cylinder 1 and the outer cylinder 1 can be easily assembled by being externally fitted to the inner cylinder 9 and the outer cylinder 10.
It is also possible to provide the interior between the inner circumference of 0.

The screw holder 1 according to the present invention has an inner cylinder 9
To set the limit of movement of the outer cylinder 10 toward the distal end side
Setting means 20 and second setting means 22 for setting the amount of protrusion e of the bit portion 5 from the outer cylinder 10 when the inner cylinder 9 is moved to the movement limit set by the first setting means 20. I have. The first setting means 20 is formed of an annular contact piece 20 which is formed on the base end side of the inner cylinder 9 so as to project one step lower than the projecting piece 16, and this contact piece 20 is attached to the rear end face of the outer cylinder 10. The movement of the inner cylinder 9 toward the distal end side is restricted by contact with the inner cylinder 9 (see FIG. 1).

The second setting means 22 is formed at the distal end edge of the insertion hole 8 of the inner cylinder 9 through which the driver bit 3 is inserted. It is constituted by a stop portion 23 for setting the amount of protrusion of the bit portion 5. Therefore, by restricting the movement of the inner cylinder 9 to the proximal end side with respect to the driver bit 3, the amount of protrusion of the bit portion 5 with respect to the inner cylinder 9 is set, and
By setting the amount of protrusion from the inner cylinder 9 to a predetermined value,
When the inner cylinder 9 is moved to the movement limit on the tip side, the outer cylinder 1
The projection amount e of the bit portion 5 from the leading end surface 33 of the zero is also set to a predetermined value.

The amount of protrusion e of the bit portion 5 from the outer cylinder 10 is determined by the amount of the screw attached to the bit portion 5
The screw 4 is set so as to be screwed flush with the screw thread a, so that the screw 4 can be screwed properly without sinking or floating in the screwed face 50a. The inner cylinder 9 of the bit portion 5 is formed by bringing the abutment portion 23 into contact with the shoulder portion 5a of the bit portion 5 formed with strict dimensional accuracy.
, And thus the projection e from the outer cylinder 10 can be set with high accuracy.

The contact stopper 23 is provided with the shoulder 5
a is formed on an inclined surface which can be brought into contact with the inclined surface formed by a, whereby the position of the inner cylinder 9 is reliably regulated and rattling or the like is reduced, and between the abutment portion 23 and the shoulder portion 5a. Thus, it is possible to suppress local wear and the like and prevent the bit portion 5a from being out of order. The insertion hole 8 of the inner cylinder 9 is provided with a retaining ring 24 for preventing the driver bit from being removed from the distal end side of the inner cylinder 9.

The retaining ring 24 is made of a member such as an O-ring and a C-pin which can be elastically deformed in the radial direction.
The fitting hole 25 is fitted and held in a fitting groove 25 formed at an intermediate portion in the longitudinal direction of the insertion hole 8. When the driver bit 3 is inserted into the insertion hole 8, the retaining ring 24 expands in the radial direction due to its elasticity to allow the driver bit 3 to be inserted. As a result, the retaining ring 24 is engaged with the arc groove 7, whereby the distal end of the inner cylinder 9 is prevented from being removed.

Therefore, the stopper 23 and the retaining ring 2
The axial movement of the inner cylinder 9 with respect to the driver bit 3 is restricted by 4, and the inner cylinder 9 is mounted on the driver bit 3 so as to be rotatable around the axis.
When the screw holder 1 is pulled out from the driver bit 3 to the distal end side, the swelling portion 17 serves as a hook portion of the hand and has an effect of facilitating removal.

Further, for the driver bit 3 having no arc groove 7, especially for a driver as a hand tool, the retaining ring 24 is formed by its elasticity so that the driver bit 3 can be removed.
It is also possible to prevent it from coming off by pressing against the outer circumference of the. The bulge 17 of the outer cylinder 10 has a groove 4
holding means 2 for holding the bit portion 5 in the fitted state
7 are provided.

The holding means 27 includes three through holes 28 penetrating radially from the outer surface of the bulging portion 17 to the inner circumference of the outer cylinder 10, and spherical holding members inserted into the respective through holes 28. Member 2
9, a peripheral groove 30 formed on the outer surface of the bulging portion 17, and a retaining ring (biasing member) 31 such as an O-ring fitted in the peripheral groove 30 and pressing the holding member 29 from the outer peripheral side. It is composed of

The through hole 28 has a radially inner dimension smaller than the outer diameter of the holding member 29. When the holding member 29 is positioned inside the through hole 28 in the radial direction, the inside of the holding member 29 is The portion protrudes toward the inner periphery of the outer cylinder 10. The projecting portion presses the outer periphery of the head of the screw 4 from the tip end side.

The holding ring 31 is provided on each holding member 2.
9 is elastically biased radially inward, and each holding member 2
9, the holding state of the screw 4 can be maintained,
When inserting or removing the screw 4 between the holding members 29, the screws 4 can be smoothly attached and detached by allowing the holding members 29 to move outward in the radial direction. As described above, by providing the swelling portion 17 at the tip of the outer cylinder 10, it is possible to secure the installation location of the holding means 27, and to form the through hole 28 in the swelling portion 17 to attach the holding member 29. By inserting, the holding means 27 can be installed with a simple structure.

Further, since the holding ring 31 is attached to the circumferential groove 30 formed in the bulging portion 17 from the outside, the holding ring 31 can be easily assembled and exchanged, and one holding ring 3
Since the plurality of holding members 29 are pressed by 1, the structure can be simplified and the number of parts can be reduced. Furthermore, by forming the holding member 29 into a spherical shape, the movement of the holding member 29 in the radial direction is smooth, and the insertion and removal of the screw 4 can be performed more smoothly.

Hereinafter, a case in which the screw is screwed by the driver bit 3 to which the screw holder 1 having the above-described structure is mounted will be described. First, the head of the screw 4 is inserted between the holding members 29 of the holding means 27, and the bit 5 is fitted into the groove 4 a of the screw 4. In this state, the screw 4 is securely held without coming off or tilting from the bit portion 5.
Can be easily screwed vertically to the screwed surface 50a.

When the screw 4 is screwed into the threaded surface 50a, the distal end surface 33 (the distal end surface of the bulging portion 17) 33 comes into contact with the threaded surface 50a. By screwing, the inner cylinder 9 and the driver bit 3 move toward the distal end side against the urging means 18. When the inner cylinder 9 reaches the movement limit on the distal end side with respect to the outer cylinder 10, the distal end surface 33 of the outer cylinder 10 serves as a stopper, and the bit 5 projects from the outer cylinder 10 by a predetermined amount e. The screw 4 is screwed so that the head top surface 4b and the screwed surface 50a are arranged on the same plane.

That is, according to the screw holder 1 of the present invention, the screw 4 is prevented from coming off from the bit portion 5 by the screw catching function of the holding means 27, and the posture of the screw at the start of screwing is maintained. The screw 4 can be screwed vertically to the screwed surface 50a, and the screw 4 can be screwed flush with the screwed surface 50a without the judgment of the operator by the adjuster function of setting the screw screwing amount to a predetermined amount. Can be screwed together.

In the process of moving the inner cylinder 9 toward the distal end, the head of the screw 4 is disengaged from the holding member 29 by the bit portion 5 protruding from the outer cylinder 10 and the holding state of the screw 4 is released. You. In addition, the holding member 29 rides on the outer peripheral surface of the inner cylinder 9 so that the inner cylinder 9 can be moved to the movement limit. Further, since the distal end surface 33 of the bulging portion 17 formed at the distal end of the outer cylinder 10 is a contact surface against the threaded surface 50a, the area of the corresponding surface can be made as large as possible. It is possible to reliably function as a stopper without damaging the screwing surface 50a.

Further, since the inner cylinder 9 and the outer cylinder 10 are relatively rotatable around the axis of the driver bit 3, the inner cylinder 9 and the driver bit 3 are also relatively rotatable.
When the distal end surface 33 of the outer cylinder 10 comes into contact with the threaded surface 50a, the rotation of the outer cylinder 10 is stopped without rotating with the bit 3 so that the threaded surface 50a is not damaged. I have.

FIGS. 10 and 11 show a second embodiment of the present invention. The screw holder 1 of the present embodiment includes, as the second setting means 22, a female screw hole 35 radially penetrating the rear end of the inner cylinder 9, and a set screw 36 screwed into the female screw hole 35. The set screw 36 is provided with a hexagonal hole 37 inside, and presses down the surface of the driver bit 3 by screwing in the female screw hole 35, and
The movement of the inner cylinder 9 in the axial direction is restricted. Also, the second setting means 22 prevents the driver bit 3 from being pulled out toward the tip end of the inner cylinder 9,
The retaining ring 24 shown in the first embodiment is omitted.

The other constructions and functions and effects are substantially the same as those of the first embodiment, and the same constructions are denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof is omitted. In the present embodiment, since the arc groove 7 of the driver bit 3 is not used to prevent the inner cylinder 9 from being pulled out of the driver bit 3, the invention can be applied to the driver bit 3 having no arc groove 7. The amount of protrusion of the bit portion 5 from the cylinder 9 needs to be set to some extent by the judgment of the operator, and it is difficult to set the accurate amount of protrusion. The first embodiment is more advantageous in that the holder 1 may be moved in the axial direction.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, but can be appropriately designed and changed. For example, instead of the pressing ring 31 for urging the holding member 29 radially inward, an urging member such as a spring for urging each holding member 29 individually can be stored in the through hole 28. Further, the holding member 29 is not limited to a spherical shape, but may be formed in a bullet shape, for example.

The abutment 23 formed on the inner cylinder 9 may be a ridge (flange) projecting radially inward so as to contact the shoulder 5a of the bit 5. The screw holder according to the present invention can be used by being mounted not only on the driver bit of the electric screwdriver but also on the tip of the driver as a hand tool.

[0043]

As described above in detail, according to the screw holder of the present invention, in addition to the catch function for holding the screw with respect to the driver bit, the screw holder has an adjuster function for appropriately setting the screwing amount of the screw. Thus, the screwing operation can be properly performed from the start to the end of the operation without requiring the skilled skill of the operator.
