Definitions
- the English wrenches consist of a set formed by a fixed jaw that forms a single piece body with the handle of the tool and a movable jaw that is movable in approximation and separation with respect to the aforementioned fixed jaw, this movable jaw provided with a rack toothed, with which a drive nut that is mounted with freedom of rotation on a shaft meshes.
- said drive nut is arranged on a rigid metal shaft, incorporating, at one end of the nut housing, a pusher spring, so as to avoid axial play of the nut.
- the mobile jaw is however
- a wrench is proposed that adopts a new solution for mounting the drive nut, in order to combine the two or above functions of eliminating gaps and the possibility of releasing the movable jaw, obtaining constructive characteristics and functional advantages that with the solutions developed so far.
- This new solution consists in arranging the drive nut on a flexible shaft of elastomeric material, according to a mounting arrangement so that said shaft exerts a thrust of said drive nut towards the movable jaw.
- the shaft's own flexibility allows, on the other hand, that the drive nut can be displaced in a forced manner in the opposite direction of its pressure against the movable jaw, thanks to the elastic deformation of the shaft.
- an embodiment of the teeth and the fillets of the gear is provided with a side according to inclined planes, with an oriented inclination in the direction of approach of the movable jaw towards the fixed jaw.
- the approach movement of the jaws is the one that is particularly interested in a quick way in the use of the key, since the key must be arranged sufficiently wide open, to fit it over the actuation element, on which it fits once embedded; while for the removal of the key, once the action is performed, only a slight separation of the jaws is necessary, so that the key can be removed without difficulty.
- the flexible elastomer shaft of the drive nut is constituted by a compact cylindrical body of a diameter corresponding to the key mounting housing, the fixed arrangement of said shaft being preferably provided by gluing its ends into the mounting housing; although also, without altering the essentiality of the invention, said shaft body can incorporate a threaded head jointly joined at one end, for fastening by means of threaded mounting in the corresponding housing.
- the shaft body can also incorporate, optionally, within the elastomeric material, reinforcements based on metal rods or plates, whereby the flexural force of said shaft can be reinforced.
- the aforementioned spanner object of the present invention is in fact of very advantageous characteristics with respect to conventional spanners.
- Figure 1 represents a wrench according to the object of the invention.
- the figure is an enlarged partial view corresponding to the end where the head of the key is located.
- Figure 2 is a corresponding profile view of the same end part of the key represented in the previous figure.
- Figure 3 is a sectional and enlarged side view of the key head.
- Figure 4 is an enlarged sectional detail of the assembly of the nut for driving the key in its arrangement on the corresponding and flexible, according to a non-limiting example of practical embodiment.
- Figure 4 a is a detail like the previous one, with the flexible axle of the nut provided with bushings incorporated at the ends.
- Figure 5 is a similar detail of the assembly of the key nut in its arrangement on the corresponding flexible ee, according to another example of realization.
- Figure 6 is a cross-section of the flexible axis according to indication VI-VI indicated in the detail of the previous figure, radial arrows A, B, C and D having been shown around, indicating the directions of flexion and stiffness of said axis in this embodiment.
- Fig. 7 is a schematic detail showing the radial deviation in the assembly between the middle part of the flexible shaft driving the drive nut and the ends of said shaft.
- Figure 8 is a diagram showing the sliding gear sideways between the movable jaw rack and the drive nut.
- Figure 9 is a representation like that of the previous scheme, indicating in a stroke and point the position of the drive nut and the movable jaw in the jump of the gear between the two when the movable jaw is moved by pushing.
- Figure 10 is a sectional side view of the head of the key, according to an embodiment of the reversible mounting of the movable jaw.
- Figure 10a is a smaller scale representation of the head of the key in the embodiment of the previous figure, with the drive nut disengaged from the movable jaw.
- Figure 10b is a representation like the previous one, with the mobile jaw inverted in its position with respect to the fixed jaw.
- the invention relates to a wrench of those comprising a fixed jaw (1) forming a single piece with the handle body and a movable jaw (2) movable in the directions of approach and separation with respect to said fixed jaw (1 ), said movable jaw (2) having a toothed rack (3), with which a drive nut (4) arranged in free rotation on a shaft (5) engages, so that the rotating drive of said nut (4) causes the movement of the movable jaw (2).
- the drive nut (4) is arranged incorporated on an axis (5) of elastomeric material, such as rubber or the like, so that said shaft (5) is flexible, its arrangement being provided according to an assembly with a tendency to push the nut (4) towards the movable jaw (2).
- This thrust effect of the nut (4) towards the movable jaw (2) is achieved by the shaft's own flexibility (5) and its mounting arrangement, since in the assembly said shaft (5) is arranged in such a way that its ends are included in a housing (6) whose longitudinal axis (11) is located with respect to the movable jaw (2) at a distance somewhat smaller than the central axis (12) of the nut (4), such as shown in Figure 7, whereby the shaft (5) is exerted, by effect of its flexible recovery, a thrust of said nut (4) towards the movable jaw (2).
- the nut (4) is further disposed axially pushed by a spring (7), as can be seen in Figures 4 and 5, whereby free clearance in said axial direction is also eliminated, thus avoiding also that produce noises from the slack in that axial direction.
- the flexible shaft (5) is constituted by a compact cylindrical body, of a diameter corresponding to the housing (6) for mounting on the key, said cylindrical body being determined with a highly polished outer surface, so that in the assembly arrangement the nut (4) the latter can slide on the mentioned axis (5), allowing a smooth operation of the rotation necessary for the movement of the movable jaw (2).
- the assembly of said shaft (5) is established with a fixing of its ends in the corresponding housing (6), for which, according to a possible practical embodiment, it is provided that the end portions of said ee (5) are fixed in the housing (6) by gluing.
- This fixing paste can be made directly between the ends of the body of the ee (5) and the wall of the housing (6), as shown in Figure 4, in which case it is necessary to use a glue that is compatible with the constituent elastomer material of said body of the usa (5).
- bushings can be incorporated
- said bushings (8) being able to be of any rigid material that allows the use of all types of adhesives, for example of a metallic material; to establish the fixation of the shaft (5), in this case, by gluing the aforementioned bushings (8) on the wall of the housing (6).
- the bushings (8) are preferably incorporated through their integration into the molded manufacture of the synthetic body of the shaft (5), it being provided that said bushings (8) are provided with holes and / or grooves so that the material The molded body elastomer is inserted into them, resulting in a single monobloc body.
