A two-way nut spanner has a handle and an engaging head having a base, a first engaging portion and a second engaging portion. The base has a first abutting surface and a second abutting surface respectively located on two opposite sides of the base. The first engaging portion protrudes from the first abutting surface of the base and has multiple first engaging blocks. Each of the engaging blocks has a first inclined surface. The second engaging portion protrudes from the second abutting surface of the base and has a second engaging block having a second inclined surface. The engaging head has the first engaging portion and the second engaging portion with different engaging structures to enhance convenience for using the two-way nut spanner.

A hook spanner has a spanner body having two opposite side surfaces, a handle segment, and a hooking segment formed on an end of the handle segment. The hooking segment has an abutting end surface located away from the handle segment and having an abutting end surface extending obliquely from one of the two opposite side surfaces of the spanner body to the other side surface. The hook spanner is adapted to turn a nut having multiple grooves arranged around the nut. Each groove has an inclined surface extending obliquely and inwardly from a peripheral surface of the nut. The abutting end surface is aligned with the inclined groove surface of one of the grooves of the nut to stably turn the nut.

The invention relates to a device and method for a tool change in a driven or stationary tool holder using at least one industrial robot. A drive device for clamping and releasing the tool in a tool holding fixture of the tool holder prevents incorrect operation and can be operated manually or by the handling robot and can be actively locked to the tool holder.

A blade attachment-detachment assisting apparatus includes a nut rotating part having an engagement pin that engages with an engagement hole of a nut, a nut grip part that grips an annular groove of the nut, a housing that supports the nut rotating part rotatably by a predetermined angle, and a lock mechanism. The nut rotating part is capable of advancing and retreating, relative to the housing, to a protrusion position and a fixing position at which engagement between the nut grip part and the nut is kept, and is fixed to the housing with the intermediary of a spring. The lock mechanism includes an inside surface by which advancing and retreating of the nut rotating part are restricted through engagement of the nut rotating part with the housing when the housing is rotated in one direction at the fixing position to which the nut rotating part has been pushed.

A motor starting assembly for starting a pull start motor includes a cup that is attachable to a flywheel of a pull start motor. A cylinder is insertable into the cup and the cylinder engages the cup when the cylinder is rotated in a first direction. In this way the cylinder can rotate the crankshaft of the pull start motor for starting the pull start motor. The cylinder disengages the cup when the when the rotational speed of the cup exceeds the rotational speed of the cylinder. In this way the cylinder facilitate the pull start motor to run without rotating the cylinder. An adapter is releasably attachable to the cylinder and a power drill thereby facilitating the power drill to rotate the cylinder when the power drill is turned on for starting the pull start motor.

A known rotary tool holder (10) comprises a rotary tool gripper (11) and a non-rotary part (16) presenting a flat front wall (18), the rotary tool gripper projecting from the flat front wall and comprising a shaft segment (15) having two shaft flats (12, 13). A kit to assist in the manual change of a tool from such a rotary tool holder comprises a forked holding element (20) provided with two fingers (22, 23) that are suitable to be fitted by their inside on the two shaft flats, and a locking plate (30) that comprises a recess (31) and is suitable to be fixedly mounted on the front wall with the recess facing it, said recess being configured to house the two fingers fitted on the two shaft flats when the locking plate is mounted on the front wall, the recess extending across the locking plate and being delimited by two steps (32, 33) against which the two fingers can be fitted by their outside.
