A power tool includes a power head receiving power from a power source. A drive coupled to the power head extends along a longitudinal axis, and the drive is engaged with a connector. Various aspects relate to the connector. The connector includes an internal bore configured to couple to the drive to a shank of a working tool. The connector further includes an external lobe protruding radially outward from the longitudinal axis, the lobe having a locking mechanism configured to secure the second working tool in response to relative movement between the lobe and the second working tool in both an axial direction and a rotational direction.

Torque wrench adapter

A tool adapter includes a body, which is elongated along a first axis. The body includes at least a first side surface that is opposite to the second side surface, as well as a first end surface that is opposite to the second end surface. The body includes a first input drive connector, which is located at a middle section of the body and which is accessible from the first side surface. The first input drive connector is structured to mate with a first drive part of a torque wrench such that a longitudinal axis of the torque wrench is parallel to the first axis when the torque wrench is connected to the adapter. The body includes a first output drive connector that is located at a middle region of the first end surface. The first output drive connector is structured to mate with a first connector part of a tool head such that a longitudinal axis of the tool head is parallel to the first axis when the tool head is connected to the adapter. The first input drive connector is defined to be a first size. The first output drive connector is defined to be a second size, which is different from the second size.

EXPANDABLE INTER-BODY DEVICE, SYSTEM AND METHOD
20220133493 · 2022-05-05 · ·

Expandable spinal implants, systems and methods are disclosed. An expandable spinal implant may include a first endplate, a second endplate, and a moving mechanism that is operably coupled to the first and second endplates. The moving mechanism may include a wedge, a first sliding frame and a second sliding frame disposed on opposite sides of the wedge, a screw guide housing a rotatable first set screw and a rotatable second set screw opposite the first set screw. The first set screw may be operably coupled to the second sliding frame and the second set screw may be operably coupled to the wedge. The moving mechanism may operably adjust a spacing between the first and second endplates upon simultaneous rotation of the first and second set screws and operably adjust an angle of inclination between the first and second endplates upon translating the first set screw or second set screw.

Tool extension

A tool extension adapted to couple to a drive lug of a driver and a tool that allows the tool to reach hard to reach places without room for a coupling. The tool extension voids the need for a larger diameter coupling by including a female recess in an end of the tool extension that receives the bit into the shaft itself.

Telescopic socket

A telescopic socket includes an outer sleeve, an inner sleeve, and a jointing ring. The outer sleeve includes at least one abutting ball, plural first concave portions, and plural first protruding portions. The inner sleeve is sleeved by and slidably connected to the outer sleeve and includes at least two engaging holes, plural second concave portions, and plural second protruding portions. The second protruding portions are slidably connected to the first concave portions respectively, and the first protruding portions are slidably connected to the second concave portions respectively. The jointing ring is movably connected to the outer sleeve and includes an abutting part and an accommodating part, and the abutting part optionally abuts against the abutting ball. By controlling the jointing ring, the inner sleeve can be slid or positioned relative to the outer sleeve, and the length of the telescopic socket can be changed.

Methods for using fastener installation tools

Methods for using installation tools are disclosed. Fastener installation tools engage the distal end of an elongated. Two projection elements positioned in a plane on the installation tool and a channel between the projection elements further are positionable to provide a marker for a user during use to achieve an optimal installation location.

SOCKET WRENCH EXTENSION WITH FLANGE
20230241747 · 2023-08-03 ·

An extension for use with a socket wrench is provided. A drive socket is at a first end of the extension. A hexagonal prism surrounds the drive socket and extends from the first end of the extension towards a second end of the extension. A flange with a knurled edge is at a second end of the hexagonal prism. A tool gripping flange is between the flange with the knurled edge and the second end of the extension. A male drive is at the second end of the extension.

Spare tire tool kit
11766768 · 2023-09-26 ·

The present invention relates to a vehicle's spare tire tool used for lowering down a spare tire stowed underneath of a vehicle, such as pick-up truck, SUV or any other off-road vehicle. The tool can also be used for stowing the tire back to the bottom of the vehicle. The tool kit features a 13″ tubular rod, that is designed to fit into a cordless drill, using an integrated male connector for rotating the rod. The rod also accommodates a connecting tip for hooking into a winch system of the vehicle. The rod with the attached connecting tip is inserted into an access hole at the rear of the vehicle and is rotated by the cordless drill. The tool kit enables users of all ages to easily dismount spares without overexertion or strain.

Tool for driving a fastener

A hand tool for driving a fastener is provided. The hand tool includes gearing that interconnects a splined socket to a rotatable or trigger actuator and increases a rotational speed of the splined socket relative to the actuator. The hand tool may include a power tool receiver or an independent motor to drive rotation of the splined socket to advance or retract a fastener from a threaded shaft. By increasing the speed and conserving rotational inertia, the hand tool reduces the time to secure a fastener on a threaded shaft. A rotatable nut is provided. The rotatable nut can slideably orient along a first axis and threadedly orient along a second axis to fasten to an adjacent surface.

Systems and methods for deep brain stimulation surgery
11759281 · 2023-09-19 ·

Systems and methods for operating deep brain stimulation are disclosed. In certain embodiments, the systems and methods encompass an adapter a body portion, a shank portion; and a cam system. The cam system is comprised of a camshaft and an eyebolt that secures a latch. The body portion of the adapter is coupled to a hand knob of a microdriver and the shank portion is coupled to a drill. When the drill is activated, the adapter transmits rotational energy from the drill to the hand knob of the microdriver, which automates the raising and lowering of its needle.
