20180185995 · 2018-07-05 ·

A sleeve device includes a main unit having a sleeve with an open end face, a receiving space intercommunicating with the open end face, and a radial hole. An engaging member extends into the receiving space. A fixing member is mounted to an end of the receiving space opposite to the open end face. A pressing member is slideably received in the receiving space for pressing against the fixing member. The pressing member includes a cylindrical portion, an abutting portion, and a pressing portion, with the abutting portion and the pressing portion disposed on two ends of the cylindrical portion. A positioning member is slideably received in the radial hole for selectively pressing against an outer periphery of the cylindrical portion or the pressing portion. A ring is rotatably mounted around the sleeve and includes an inner periphery and a first recessed portion for selectively abutting the positioning member.

Tool bits with floating magnet sleeves

A tool bit assembly includes a tool bit having a shaft with a first working region disposed at a first end of the shaft and a first reduced diameter portion proximate the working region and disposed between a first shoulder and a second shoulder. A floating sleeve has a rear portion with a pair of opposed window openings, a front portion supporting a magnet, and a pair of balls, with each ball disposed in one of the window openings. The floating sleeve is receivable over the tool bit with the magnet proximate the first working regions and the balls received in the first reduced diameter portion to allow the floating sleeve to move between a first position in which the balls abut the first shoulder and a second position in which the balls abut the second shoulder.

Toolless Socket Change Mechanism

An adapter tool with a drill bit is provided that selectively connects to a driver to provide added versatility to the driver. The adapter tool includes a spring with an engagement end that extends through a body to selectively engage a recess in the driver. A user can actuate the spring to quickly engage and disengage the adapter from the driver. In practice, a user can use the adapter-driver combination to drill a pilot hole using the drill bit on the adapter, selectively remove the adapter from the driver, and then put a screw into the pilot hole using the driver.

Power tool adaptor and a reversible tool bit holder adaptor for a power tool adaptor
09604350 · 2017-03-28 · ·

A power tool adaptor for holding a tool adapted thereto including an adaptor body, a tool insertion cavity formed in an end of the adaptor body for receiving the tool, an elongated tool bit insertion cavity formed as a continuation of the tool insertion cavity, means for fixating the tool by protruding into one or more fixation recesses on the outer surface of the tool and means for attaching the power tool adaptor to a power tool; a reversible tool bit holder is further disclosed for holding two changeable tool bits, which reversible tool bit holder is adapted to fit into the power tool adaptor, along with a kit including a power tool adaptor and a reversible tool bit holder adapted to fit into the power tool adaptor.

FASTENING TOOLS WITH FLOATING MAGNET SLEEVES

A fastener driving tool includes a shaft with a working region disposed at a first end of the shaft and configured to drive a fastener, a shank portion disposed proximate a second end of the shaft and configured to couple the shaft to a power tool, and a reduced diameter torsion zone disposed between the shank portion and the working region, the torsion zone extending from a first shoulder closer to the working region to a second shoulder closer to the shank portion. A length (L) and a radius (c) of the torsion zone have been optimized so that approximately half of breakages occur in the working region and approximately half of breakages occur in the torsion zone.

Workpiece holder and machining apparatus

A workpiece holder 1 includes a holder head 11 and a holder body 12. The holder head 11 includes a chuck unit 13 for holding a workpiece W, a support pedestal 111 for supporting the chuck unit 13, and a hook 113 provided on a distal end portion of an arm 112 extending from the support pedestal 111. The holder body 12 includes a cylindrical body portion 121, a retained portion 123 that is arranged inside the body portion 121 and rotated around the cylinder axis J1 to be in either a retained state in which the retained portion 123 is retained by the hook 113 on the Z direction side or in the released state in which retaining by the hook 113 is released, and a disk spring 126 for biasing the retained portion 123 in the Z direction.
