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.
Cabinet leg and adjustment tool
A cabinet leg is provided including a body securable to an underside of a cabinet and a shaft engageable with the body such that rotation of the shaft moves the shaft toward or away from the body. A foot is secured to a lower end of the shaft including a first portion attached to the shaft and a second portion rotatable relative to the first portion. A plurality of openings are provided around the periphery of the foot for receiving a first end of a tool such that teeth on the tool engage with teeth on the first portion. Rotation of the tool causes rotation of the first portion relative to the second portion, thereby rotating the shaft and adjusting the height of the cabinet leg.
Attachment mechanism for a power tool
An accessory for use with a rotary power tool having a rotatable spindle and a first mating member. The accessory includes a housing having a body and a plurality of arms extending therefrom, a ball detent selectively engagable with the spindle to lock the accessory to the power tool, a sleeve slidable along the arms between a first position in which the sleeve biases the ball detent into engagement with the spindle to axially secure the accessory to the tool, and a second position in which the ball detent is disengageable from the spindle to release the accessory from the tool, and a second mating member coupled to the arms of the housing.
Tool adapter quick-release structure
A tool adapter quick-release structure includes an adapter and a locking mechanism. The adapter includes a seat portion and an engagement portion extended forward from the seat portion, and an installation hole formed to penetrate into the seat portion via the engagement portion. The locking mechanism includes a movable sleeve mounted onto the seat portion, an installation pin inserted into the movable sleeve and an elastic member abutted against the installation pin to push the movable sleeve axially, and the movable sleeve allowing a fixation member to penetrate through the seat portion to protrude outward inside the installation hole via push of the elastic member. The seat portion includes a repair hole corresponding to the installation pin and is connected to the installation hole.
Methods and apparatuses for extracting and dislodging fasteners
A method of using a fastener torque-tool body, torque arm, and release bolt to engage a stripped threaded fastener in an object. The method comprising the steps of selecting a torque-tool body suitable for the fastener being removed, engaging the torque-tool body with the fastener, engaging the torque arm with the torque-tool body, applying rotational force to the torque arm to rotate the fastener within the object, engaging the release bolt with the torque-tool body, and applying rotational force to the release bolt to dislodge the fastener from the torque-tool body.
Powered socket wrench assembly
A powered socket wrench assembly includes a power tool that has a back end and a front end. The power tool is elongated along a longitudinal axis extending between the back end and the front end thereby facilitating the power tool to be inserted into a hard to reach area. Additionally, the power tool includes a chuck that is rotated in a first direction or a second direction when the power tool is turned on. A drive unit is insertable into the chuck on the power tool thereby facilitating the power tool to rotate the drive unit when the power tool is turned on. The drive unit includes a socket that is rotatable about an axis oriented perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the power tool when the power tool is turned on.
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.
ROTATION ASSIST TOOL AND ASSIST-ATTACHED ROTATION TOOL
Provided are a rotation assist tool 10 attached to a base side of a rotary shaft 12 having an output unit 11 on a front side thereof and a assist-attached rotation tool 31 including the rotation assist tool 10. The rotation assist tool 10 has a first rotating body 13; a second rotating body 14 that is held by the first rotating body 13 to be rotatable in forward and reverse directions; and at least one elastically deformable body 22 that is elastically deformed as the first rotating body 13 and the second rotating body 14 rotate relative to each other, and transmits rotation between the first rotating body 13 and the second rotating body 14, wherein the base side of the rotary shaft 12 is fixed to the first rotating body 13.
RATCHET EXTENDER
A ratchet extender includes a first head having at least one ratchet drive square receiver and a first drive gear, a second head having at least one ratchet drive square and a second drive gear, and a drive shaft coupling the first drive gear to the second drive gear. As a user rotates the first drive gear using a ratchet coupled to the ratchet drive square receiver, the drive shaft rotates, thereby rotating the second drive gear and the ratchet drive square coupled thereto. As a result, a user is able to use ratchets in locations previously unreachable by such tools.
Multi-start threaded impact driving device
A torque transfer assembly for an impact bit holder may include a jacket operably coupled to a driven body having a driven end configured to interface with a bit, and a multi-start thread assembly operably coupling the jacket to a drive body having a drive end configured to interface with a powered driver. The torque transfer assembly may be disposed between the drive body and driven body and may be configured to transfer torque between the drive body and the driven body.
