2. Description of the Prior Art During the past few years fluid actuated torque wrenches have been developed for tightening fasteners such as nuts, bolts and the like to a predetermined degree of torque. Although such wrenches have been available, there has been no easy and convenient way for inspectors to determine whether a mechanic or workman using the wrench has tightened a fastener to a desired degree of torque. Fasteners as used in modern industry are designed to be torqued within a relatively narrow critical range to provide optimum results and either overtorquing or undertorquing of the fastener detracts from the fastener providing maximum holding qualities.

The primary purpose in devising the present invention is to supply a power driven torque wrench that automatically ceases to rotate a nut, bolt or other fastener after a desired degree of torque has been exerted thereon, and the tool in addition serving to indicate by visual means, such as a spot of ink or paint discharged onto the fastener, that the fastener has been torqued to a predetermined degree.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A fluid actuated torque wrench that includes a power driven rotatable member for tightening a fastener such as a bolt or nut with a desired degree of torque, and the rotatable member not only serving this function, but serving as a guide for a tube through which an identifying glob of colored ink or paint is discharged onto the fastener after the torque operation is completed.

A major object of the present invention is to supply a fluid actuated torque wrench for rotating a fastener such as a bolt or nut until a desired degree of torque is exerted thereon, and at the conclusion of the torquing operation discharging a glob of paint or ink onto the fastener to indicate that the fastener has been tightened with a predetermined degree of torque exerted thereon.

Another object of the invention is to supply a fluid actuated torque wrench of relatively simple mechanical structure that automatically identifies a fastener that has been rotated to a desired degree of torque by the fastener having a spot of ink or paint discharged thereon, with the wrench achieving these two objectives automatically, and as a result capable of being used by persons having relatively little mechanical skill.

A still further object of the invention is to supply a combined torque wrench and marking device that has a relatively simple mechanical structure, can .be fabricated from standard commercially available materials, requires a minimum of maintenance attention, is relatively inexpensive to manufacture, and can accordingly be retailed at a relatively low price to those companies and corporations that require precision tightening of fasteners.

FIG. 7 is a diagrammatic view of a second form of the torque wrench and the fluid actuated assembly associated therewith for automatically torquing and identifying rotatable fastener.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT A first form of the combined torque wrench and marking device A is shown in FIG. 1 and includes a longitudinally apertured power driven rotatable member B of non-circular transverse cross section that is adapted to removably engage a socket C as shown in FIG. 2. The socket C is adapted to engage a nut 10 to tighten the same with a desired degree of torque on a threaded rod 12 that extends upwardly from a workpiece 14.

A tubular conduit D is provided that is connected to a source of fluid under pressure, and is connected with a hydraulic motor (not shown) situated within the confines of the wrench A, and this motor by gearing (not shown) driving the rotatable member B. Flow of fluid from the line D to the motor (not shown) is controlled by a handle 16 of a valve (not shown). The handle 16 due to spring means 18 or other conventional means is normally in a position to close the valve associated therewith to prevent the flow of fluid under pressure to the motor (not shown).

A receptacle E is provided that is convenientlyin the form of a hollow box that has an identifying liquidholding container F situated therein. The container F supplies the identifying liquid to a fluid actuated pump G, which pump may conveniently be of the structure described in the Warren J. Walsh U.S.- Pat. No. 3,599,753 on a Conveyor Roller Lubricating Device.

The member B is rotatably supported in a head 20 that forms a part of the torque wrench A. A first band 22 encircles the body of the wrench A adjacent the head 20 and serves to support an elongate member 24 shown in detail in FIG. 4 that has a longitudinal bore 26 therein. A tubular member 28 is normally disposed to the member 24, and secured thereto by conventional means. Tubular member 28 is in communication with bore 26. The end portion of the member 24 adjacent tubular member 28 has internal threads 30 formed thereon that are engaged by a threaded plug 32. Tubular member 24 extends through a longitudinal bore 29 in rotatable member B. The member B may rotate relative to tubular member 24.

The member 24 at a second end 34 thereof is connected to a first tube 36 that is held in a fixed position on the torque wrench A by a second band 38. The first tube 36 as may be seen in FIGS. 1 and terminates in a coupling H. The first tube 36 has a second tube 40 of substantially smaller diameter situated in the interior thereof and this second tube extending into the bore 26 of member 24 as shown in FIG. 4.

The second tube 40 supports an orifice defining member 42 on the left hand end thereof as viewed in FIG. 4 that is situated adjacent the tubular member 28.

The coupling H as may best be seen in FIG. 5 includes two cylindrical bodies 44 and 44' that have longitudinal coaxially aligned

bores

46 and 46 formed therein. The

bodies

44 and 44 have adjacent end portions 48 and 48 that engage an opening 50 that extends longitudinally through body 52.

The bodies 44 and 44' are removably held in coaxially aligned positions as shown in FIG. 5 by two rigid U-

shaped members

54 and 54 that engage transversely aligned slots 56 and 56 formed in the

bodies

44 and 44 and

slots

58 and 58 formed in the body 52. The resilient O-rings 60 and 60' are provided that are mounted on the

bodies

44 and 44 and are in sealing engagement with the body 52.

The first tube 36 has a flanged end 62 that is held in sealing engagement with the left hand end portion of the body 44 as viewed in FIG. 5 by an internally threaded cap 64 that engages external threads 66 formed on the body 44.

Extensions

36 and 40 of the

tubes

36 and 40 extend from the right of the coupling as viewed in FIG. 5 as well as in FIG. 1, and are of the same structure and dimensions as the

tubes

36 and 40.

Adjacent ends of the

second tubes

40 and 40 are connected by tubular inserts 68 and 68'. The first tube extension 36 is secured to the body 62 by a cap 64 that is of the same structure as the cap 64. The first tube 36 and second tube 40 cooperate to define a longitudinal annulus-shaped confined space 41 that is in communication with a like annulus-shaped space 41 defined by the

extensions

36 and 40. By removing the U-shaped

members

54 and 54, the

bodies

44 and 44 may be easily separated from one another to clean or service the tubular inserts 68 and 68'. The inserts 68 and 68 as may best be seen in FIG. 6 have cylindrical end portions that engage the

second tubes

40 and 40, but with adjacent portions of the inserts interlocking with one another and being of substantially square transverse cross section.

The first tube extension 36' as can best be seen in FIG. 1 continues to a T-fitting 70, which fitting has a second tube extension 72 connected thereto that is in communication with the first tube extension 40 and is also connected to a check valve 74. The check valve 74 is connected to an identifying liquid discharge line 76 that is in communication with the interior of the pump G. The container F has the discharge for the identifying liquid therein connected to a check valve 77 that by conventional tube fittings 78 is connected to the interior of the pump G.

The receptacle E has a ring 80 or other supporting means secured thereto, and this supporting means being used to maintain the receptacle at a position (not shown) that is adjacent to the location where the wrench A will be used. When the receptacle E is so supported by ring 80, liquid in the container F will at all times tend to flow therefrom by gravity, but will normally be blocked from so doing by the check valve 77. The check valve 77 is of such a type that it remains closed except when a piston (not shown) within the confines of the pump G is moved to create a negative pressure within the pump, with the check valve 77 then opening to permit a predetermined quantity of the identifying liquid to be drawn into the pump.

When the direction of movement of the piston (not shown) is towards the check valve 74, the check valve 77 remains closed, and the check valve 74 opens to permit a predetermined quantity of the identifying liquid to be discharged into the tee 70. The tee is connected by a tubular member 81 to the interior of a second tee 82, and the connection 81 serving to effect communication between the interior of the tee 82 and the annulus-shaped space 41' defined between the first and

second tube extension

36 and 40 as shown in FIG. 5. The tee 82 is connected to a third tube 84 that extends to a coupling H, and the coupling I-I' having a fourth tube 86 extending therefrom to a valve 88 that is mounted on the body of the wrench A as shown in FIG. 1.

The valve 88 is in communication with the fluid actuating the motor (not shown) that drives the member B, and is located downstream from the valve (not shown) that is actuated by the handle 16. The valve 88 is spring loaded and normally is in a closed position.

Fluid under pressure is delivered through the conduit D to drive the rotatable member B to tighten a nut 10 as shown in FIG. 2. Upon a desired torque having been placed on the nut 10 due to the force exerted by the fluid flowing through the conduit D to the driving motor (not shown) the valve 88 moves to a second position due to build up of fluid pressure in the wrench A, with the valve venting this excess pressure to the ambient atmosphere, as well as through the fourth tube 86, coupling I-I, third tube 84, tee 82, and fifth tube 90 to the interior of the pump G as shown in FIG. 1. As fluid under pressure flows through the fifth tube 90 into the pump G, the piston is moved longitudinally therein, to discharge a glob of the identifying liquid through the check valve 74, tube 72, tee 70, second tube extension 40', second tube 40, and orifice defining member 42. Concurrently, fluid under pressure flows from the tee 82, connection 81 and annulus-shaped

spaces

41 and 41 to discharge about the extremity of the orifice defining member 42, to entrain a glob of the identifying liquid therewith and carry the same downwardly through the tubular member 28 to deposit the glob on the upper end of the tubular member 12 where it defines a colored area 94. As soon as air starts to be vented from the wrench A as above described, the user releases the handle 16, and the torquing and marking identifying operation is completed for that particular fastener. The movable piston in the pump G is spring loaded, and returns to its initial position, and in so doing draws a quantity of identifying liquid through first check valve 77 and fitting 78 into the confines of the pump, which liquid will be used in the next torquing and marking operation.

An alternate form of the device is shown in FIG. 7 which includes a source 96 of air at substantially constant pressure. Air discharges from the source 96 through a line 98 that is connected to an air filter 100. The air filter 100 is connected to a line 102 that extends to a manually operated valve 104 that is normally closed. The valve 104 is connected to a line 106 that extends to a manifold 108 and the manifold in turn being connected to a coupling 110. Coupling 110 is connected to the interior of the wrench A to supply air under pressure to the motor (not shown) therein.

Line 102 is connected to a lateral 112 that divides into first and second line 114 and 116. Line 114 is connected to a pressure regulator 118 that has a line 120 extending therefrom to a sensing valve 122. The line 116 is connected to the sensing valve 122, and is in communication with a line 124 when the sensing valve 122 is actuated to move from a normally closed position to an open position. Manifold 108 is in communication with a tube 126 that extends to a filter 128 and the filter in turn being connected by a line 130 to the sensing valve 122. The balance of the alternate form of the invention is the same as in the first described form.

The at at regulated pressure in the line 120 maintains the sensing valve in a closed position. Upon the user opening the valve 104, air flows to the motor (not shown) in the torque wrench A to rotate the same, as well as member B, and upon the fastener being torqued to a desired degree, fluid pressure immediately starts to build up in the manifold !08, and this increased pressure of fluid in line 106 and line 130 actuating the sensing valve 122 to move to the open position where fluid under pressure flows through the lines 116 and 124 to actuate the pump G in the same manner as in the first described form of the invention. The air under pressure both actuates the pump G and discharges a predetermined quantity of identifying liquid onto the threaded member 12 as previously described.

Both the form of the invention disclosed in FIGS. 1 to 6 inclusive and in FIG. 7 operate in the same manner, and further description of this operation is not required.

To prevent identifying liquid leaking from the orifice defining member 42 when the device is not actuated, a resilient member 150 is slidably supported in a cavity 152 formed in the plug 32. The member 150 is at all times urged into pressure contact with member 42 by a compressed helical spring 154 as shown in FIG. 4. When identifying liquid in second tubular member 40, which tubular member is at all times filled with the liquid, is subjected to increased pressure, a predetermined quantity of the liquid is discharged from the orifice defining member 42 and is blown down the tubular member 28 by air in atomized form for marking purposes.
