Bicycle tool
A bicycle tool according to the disclosure comprises a valve connection means. A tool element is connected with the valve connection means. The tool element is connected with the valve connection means in its longitudinal direction such that an elongated bicycle tool is formed.
Pocket screwdriver
A pair of screwdrivers each having a handle, a nondetachable outer shaft, a detachable inner shaft, and at least two detachable double-ended screwdriver bits. Each screwdriver handle is formed having a hollow space configured to substantially house the outer screwdriver shaft, the inner screwdriver shaft, and the at least two double-ended screwdriver bits of the other screwdriver, whereby, the pair of screwdrivers may be assembled together when not in use so that the outer shaft, the inner shaft, and the at least two double-ended screwdriver bits of both screwdrivers are substantially non-exposed to prevent the potential for accidental user injury.
Socket and Tool Assembly
A socket includes a socket body, a teeth structure, and a stopping structure and is engageable with a tool member. The socket body has an opening and an inner wall. The teeth structure is disposed on, and along the circumference of, the inner wall of the socket body and includes alternating inner teeth and concave portions. The stopping structure is disposed on, and along the circumference of, the inner wall of the socket body, is farther away from the opening than is the teeth structure, and includes a through hole and an inner surrounding wall. The through hole corresponds to the opening and is surrounded by the inner surrounding wall, which has a thickness. The distance from each concave portion to the hole wall surface of the through hole is defined as a stopping distance to be considered in relation to the thickness of the inner surrounding wall.
Socket
A socket includes a socket body, a detent rod, and a pushing element. The socket body includes an opening, a teeth structure disposed on, and along the circumference of, the inner wall of the socket body, and an abutting structure farther away from the opening than is the teeth structure and including a first and a second through hole. The first through hole penetrates two sides of the abutting structure and is perpendicular to the axial direction of the socket body. The second through hole is at the center of the abutting structure and communicates with the first through hole. The detent rod is movably disposed through the first through hole and has a diminishing portion that tapers from two ends of the detent rod toward the center. The pushing element is movably disposed through the second through hole and has one end abutting against the diminishing portion.
INTERNAL DUAL PAWL MECHANISM FOR INDEXABLE MOTORIZED RATCHET TOOLS
A pawl mechanism for an indexable tool and adapted to selectively transmit rotational motion of a yoke of the tool to a drive lug of the tool in one of first and second rotational directions. The pawl mechanism including a pawl carrier, first and second pawls pivotably coupled to the pawl carrier, and a selector switch rotatably coupled to the pawl carrier and adapted to selectively position the first and second pawls to transmit rotational motion of the yoke to the drive lug in one of the first and second rotational directions.
Screwdriver and tool holder
The present disclosure relates to a powered screwdriver. The powered screwdriver includes a housing, a motor housed in the housing and a tool holder driven by the motor. The tool holder selectively holds both a screwdriver bit and a hex key. The hex key includes a bend such that legs of the hex key are transverse to one another.
Flex joint lock button
A button lock that selectively retains the angle of an object relative to a handle. The button lock is rotatable between an engaged position, where the angle is retained, and a disengaged position, where the object is disengaged from the handle and can pivotally move about the handle to change the angle. In the engaged position, button teeth on the button engage with handle teeth on the handle. In the disengaged position, the button teeth disengage the handle teeth to space the button from the handle and therefore allow free movement of the handle about the button. The button therefore quickly and easily retains the angle between the object and the handle.
CONCENTRATED LONGITUDINAL ACOUSTICAL/ULTRASONIC ENERGY FASTENER DESIGN AND MANIPULATION SYSTEM
A system and method and fastening tool that utilizes ultrasonic or acoustic energy and a horn that focuses the energy into the fastener at a predetermined location in order to facilitate tightening or loosening the fastener.
CONCENTRATED LONGITUDINAL ACOUSTICAL/ULTRASONIC ENERGY FASTENER DESIGN AND MANIPULATION SYSTEM
A system and method and fastening tool that utilizes ultrasonic or acoustic energy and a horn that focuses the energy into the fastener at a predetermined location in order to facilitate tightening or loosening the fastener.
METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR GUIDING A K-WIRE
The disclosed subject matter relates to a visual guide for aiding the surgeon in the insertion of a k-wire. The guide including a ring for receiving a guide wire, the guide wire extending from the ring parallel to the center axis of the ring; and, a ring attachment mechanism configured to attach the visual guide to a wire driver. The guide wires representing the trajectory of the k-wire in two orthogonal planes thus allowing the surgeon to free hand the insertion by visually referencing the guide wires and the actual trajectory of the k-wire within the bone.
