Description

KEY OF ADJUSTABLE RATCHET NUTS FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a tool for removing screws and nuts, and in particular, with a ratchet tool for the removal of screws or nuts, which is adjustable to accommodate various sizes of screw head and nuts .
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Various tools are used to tighten and loosen screws and nuts. Two of those tools are open end wrenches and open end wrenches. Both types of wrenches have a specific opening to accommodate a corresponding size of screw head or nuts. To accommodate different sizes of screw heads or nuts, different wrenches having different sizes of corresponding openings would be necessary. An advance on open ended or individual closed end wrenches is a wrench for tightening nuts or adjustable nuts that has an adjustable opening to accommodate various sizes of screw or nuts, depending on the setting of the jaw opening. An alternative design to the open ended, closed and adjustable end wrenches is a tubular mouth wrench, which includes a ratchet and a tubular end for accepting a plurality of reciprocating tubular ports of different sizes. Each tubular mouth is specifically sized to accommodate a specific screw or nut size. An advantage of a tubular socket wrench is its ratchet feature which allows selective movement in either direction, clockwise or counterclockwise relative to the handle of the wrench thus providing what is known in the art as a "ratchet action" to allow a bolt or nut to be quickly loosened or tightened. A disadvantage of conventional adjustable wrenches is that they do not provide a ratchet action. Therefore, those wrenches do not allow one to quickly or easily tighten or loosen a bolt or nut by turning the wrench over a desired arc or the degree of rotation around the bolt or nut. A disadvantage with the Conventional tubular nut wrenches is that, since the tubular nozzles are not adjustable, a specific tubular mouth is needed for each screw or nut of different size that one wishes to adjust. Since the screws and nuts come in a variety of different sizes including in English and metric units, you need to have numerous tubular mouths at your disposal to accommodate those different sizes of screws and nuts. Accordingly, there is a need in the art for an improved tool that provides quick and easy removal of screw and nuts using an adjustable tool.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention satisfies this need and others with novel adjustable ratchet head assembly, and a novel ratchet nut driver device. The adjustable ratchet head assembly has first and second jaw-shaped members that are connected using a pinion shaft and a sprocket shaft. The pinion shaft has opposingly threaded end portions that engage the holes that receive the threaded pinion shaft in opposite manner a central section of each member in the form of a gag. The axis of the gear wheel has oppositely threaded end portions which engage the holes which receive the axis of the cogwheels threaded in opposite manner at a proximal end of each jaw-shaped member. The jaw-shaped members also have an end that engages the distal workpiece. The rotation of the pinion and the axis of the sprocket will cause the jaw-shaped members to move toward or away from each other. A pinion gear is concentric with and engages the pinion shaft. A sprocket gear is concentric with and engages the sprocket shaft, and is in drive engagement with the pinion gear. In this way, driving the gear of the gear wheel will cause the rotation of the gear wheel shaft as the gear of the pinion and the pinion shaft, and will cause the jaw-shaped members to move towards or away from each other. The proximal ends of the jaw-shaped members and the gearwheel axis are received in a diametral jaw / gearwheel-shaped member that receives the groove of a cylindrical ratchet head body. The body of the cylindrical ratchet head also has a ratchet gear about its circumference.
A handle assembly of the invention has a ratchet head that receives a structure and retainer assembly. The head body of the cylindrical ratchet received in the structure that receives the ratchet head from the handle assembly. The detent assembly cooperates with the ratchet gear to allow rotation of the ratchet head assembly with respect to mounting the handle in one direction and to prevent rotation of the ratchet head assembly in the other direction.

The visible elements of the ratchet head assembly 14 include first and second opposing jaw members 26, 27, a pinion shaft 28, a meshing guard 30, a protective cap 32, and a thrust wheel 34. The drive of the thrust wheel 34 will move the jaw-shaped members 26, 27 toward each other or move them away from each other, according to the rotation of the thrust wheel 34. The clamp-shaped members 26, 27 can be moved one away from the other to accommodate a screw or nut head, and then moved towards each other to attach the screw head or nut to tighten or loosen it. The handle assembly 12 keeps the ratchet head assembly 14 fixed in one direction of rotation, and allows the ratchet head assembly 14 to rotate freely in the other direction of rotation, so that the handle assembly 12 can be brought backwards to recover the stroke without removing the jaw-shaped members 26, 27 from the screw head or nut. The rotation rotation lever 24 determines whether the assembly of Ratchet head 14 is fixed in the counterclockwise clockwise direction with respect to the member assembly 12, and allows the direction to be changed to tighten or accommodate the screw or nut.

Sprocket engagement 36 is concentric with and engages the central portion 68 of the pinion shaft 28 between the oppositely threaded portions 66, 67, so that when the gear of the pinion 36 is actuated, the pinion shaft 28 rotates. The gear of the pinion 36 may be integrated with the pinion shaft 28, or it may be clamped, attached, fixed, attached, connected or coupled to the pinion shaft 28. Each of the end portions threaded oppositely of the pinion shaft 66, 67 is received in and threadably coupled with a receiving hole of the threaded pinion shaft with the respective jaw-shaped member 62, 63, so that rotation of the shaft of the sprocket 28 in the holes receiving the axis of the pinion 62, 63 cause the jaw-shaped members 26, 27 to move towards and away from each other. The axis of the wheel 38 also has end portions threaded in opposite manner 70, 71 and a central portion 72. The gear of the gear 40 is concentric with and engages the central portion 72 of the axis of the wheel 38 between the portions opposite threaded ends 70, 71, so that when the gear 40 of the wheel 40 is actuated, the axis of the gear 38 rotates. The engagement of the sprocket 40 can be integrated with the axis of the wheel 38, or it can be clamped, anchored, fixed, attached or connected or otherwise coupled to the axis of the sprocket 28. Additionally, the sprocket shaft 38 has an orifice that receives the rotation bolt 74 through a longitudinal axis of the axis of the gear 38.
