Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to tools designed for tightening or loosening fasteners, in particular bolts and nuts. More specifically, the present invention is an anti-slip torque tool designed to engaged bolts, nuts, and other similar fasteners with little chance of slippage through two sets of engagement teeth.
  • Hex bolts, nuts, screws, and other similar threaded devices are used to secure and hold multiple parts together by being engaged to a complimentary thread, known as a female thread.
  • the general structure of these types of fasteners is a cylindrical shaft with an external thread and a head at one end of the shaft.
  • the external thread engages a complimentary female thread tapped into a hole or a nut and secures the fastener in place, binding the associated components together.
  • the head is the means by which the fastener is turned, or driven, into the female threading.
  • the head is shaped specifically to allow an external tool like a wrench to apply a torque to the fastener in order to rotate the fastener and engage the complimentary female threading to a certain degree.
  • This type of fastener is simple, extremely effective, cheap, and highly popular in modern construction.
  • the present invention is a wrench or wrench socket design that virtually eliminates slippage.
  • the present invention uses a plurality of recessed regions in the internal sidewalls of the socket in order to ensure that significant contact is made between the tool and the head portion. Additionally, the present invention eliminates the need for the common bolt extractors as they require unnecessary drilling and tools.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un outil dynamométrique anti-glissement utilisant une pluralité de rainures pour empêcher un glissement et pour faciliter un transfert de couple vers un dispositif de fixation. L'outil comprend un corps de clé d'outil dynamométrique et au moins un élément de prise. Le corps de clé d'outil dynamométrique comprend une pluralité de parois latérales internes, une première base et une seconde base. En outre, chacune des parois latérales internes comprend une surface de renfort. L'élément de prise comprend une première paire de rainures et une seconde paire de rainures, chacune comprenant en outre une cavité primaire et une cavité secondaire. L'élément de prise est latéralement intégré dans une paroi latérale spécifique pour fournir une action de prise supplémentaire. La première paire de rainures et la seconde paire de rainures sont positionnées de manière décalée l'une de l'autre, le long de la surface de renfort de la paroi latérale spécifique. La cavité primaire et la cavité secondaire sont individuellement orthogonales à la surface de renfort et la traversent de la première base à la seconde base.
