DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0041] The screwdriver insert has a shaft 1 that has a length of approximately 25-30 mm. A central section of the shaft 1 has a hexagonal cross-sectional profile with corner recesses 16 on the polygon corners of the profile. The shaft can be temporarily fixed in an insertion opening of a not-shown driving tool with the aid of these corner recesses 16 in order to be turned with the driving tool. The driving tool may be a screwing tool, particularly a ratchet mechanism or a ratchet handle.

[0042] A first end of the shaft 1 forms a first output profile 2 with a hexagonal cross section. The first output profile 2 has an end face 3 with an opening of a cavity 4.

[0043] The second end of the shaft 1 forms a third output profile 12 that likewise has a hexagonal profile, but with a slightly larger edge length. The end face 13 of the third output profile 12 has an opening of a cavity 14.

[0044] The two cavities 4, 14 form a central bore, which extends along an axis A of the shaft 1, together with a chamber 6 consisting of the chamber sections 7 and 8. The cross-sectional areas of the cavities 4 and 14 are hexagonal whereas the cross sections of the chamber sections 7, 8 may be round or likewise designed polygonally. The chamber 6 forms a chamber section 7 that has a first cross section and transforms into the second chamber section 8, which has a larger cross section, such that a step 9 is formed.

[0045] A first insert 19 is seated in the cavity 4 and forms a second output profile 21, which in the exemplary embodiment is a hexagonal profile, with a section protruding out of the cavity 4. The insert 19 has a constant hexagonal cross section from its end face 20 up to a head 22. The cross section of the head 22 is larger than the cross section of the cavity 4 such that the head 22 forms radially protruding stop surfaces 23 that are supported on a step 15, on which the chamber section 7 transforms into the cavity 4. The insert 19 therefore is seated in the cavity 4 in a stop-limited and rotationally fixed manner.

[0046] The cavity 14 has an internal cross section that is slightly larger than the cross section of the head 22 such that the insert 19 can be inserted through the cavity 14.

[0047] A pressure spring 10, particularly a helical pressure spring 10, is provided and supported on an end face 24 of the insert 19 with one of its two ends.

[0048] A second insert 25, which forms a shaft 28 extending over the entire length of the insert 25, has over its entire length a hexagonal cross section that is slightly smaller than the hexagonal cross section of the cavity 14. Its end protruding out of the cavity 14 forms a fourth output profile 27 that is larger than the second output profile 21, but smaller than the first output profile 2.

[0049] The end of the insert 25 protruding as far as into the chamber section 8 has a circumferential groove 30. The circumferential groove 30 has such a depth that a springable clamping ring 11 can be accommodated in the circumferential groove 30. The insert 25 can be inserted into the cavity 14 with its end face 29 first when the clamping ring 11 is compressed in the radial direction. The second end of the spring element 10 is then supported on the end face 29. When the clamping ring 11 overruns the step 15′, it can yield in the radial direction in order to support itself on a second step 15′ so as to prevent the insert 25, which is arranged in a rotationally fixed manner relative to the shaft, from moving out of the cavity 14.

[0050] The pressure spring 10 that is compressed during the installation holds the two inserts 19, 25 in the stop-limited protruding position, which is illustrated in FIG. 3 and in which the second output profile 21 and the fourth output profile 27 protrude beyond the respective end faces 3, 13 of the shaft 1. The respective insert 19, 25 can be displaced in the axial direction to such a degree that its respective end face 20 or 26 is aligned with the end face 3, 13 of the shaft 1 by exerting an axial pressure either upon the end face 20 of the insert 19 or upon the end face 26 of the insert 25.

[0051] The screwing tool functions as follows:

[0052] In order to turn a screw 31 with the first output profile 2, the second output profile 21 needs to be inserted into the screwing tool insertion opening 32 of the screw 31. Since the screwing tool insertion opening 32 corresponds to the size of the first output profile 2 and the end face 20 of the second output profile 21 is supported on the base 33 of the screwing tool insertion opening 32, the insert 19 is displaced into the cavity 4 when an axial force is exerted upon the shaft 1 such that the first output profile 2 can be inserted into the screwing tool insertion opening 32 according to FIG. 4. The stop surface 23 of the head 22 has in the process moved away from the step 15. The pressure spring 10 once again presses the insert 19 into the starting position illustrated in FIG. 3 once the first output profile 2 is pulled out of the screwing tool insertion opening 32.

[0053] FIG. 5 shows the use of the second output profile 21 in a screwing tool insertion opening 23 with a cross section that corresponds to the second output profile 21. The end face 20 likewise is supported on the base 33 when the second output profile 21 is inserted into the screwing tool insertion opening 32. However, the end face 3 of the first output profile 2 is supported on the end face of the screw head in this case. The stop surface 23 may slightly move away from the step 15.

[0054] FIG. 6 shows an application analogous to FIG. 4, wherein the screwing tool insertion opening of the screw 31 has a cross section that corresponds to the cross section of the third output profile 12. The end face 26 of the insert 25 is supported on the base 33 of the screwing tool insertion opening 32 in this case when the third output profile 12 is inserted into the screwing tool insertion opening 32. The insert 25 migrates into the cavity 14, wherein the clamping ring 11 moves away from the step 15.

[0055] FIG. 7 shows an application analogous to FIG. 5. In this case, the cross section of the screwing tool insertion opening 32 corresponds to the cross section of the fourth output profile 27. The end face 13 of the third output profile 12 can be supported on the end face of the screw head of the screw 31 when the fourth output profile 27 is inserted into the screwing tool insertion opening 32.

[0056] The shaft can be rotationally driven in order to turn the screw 31 in any of the operating positions illustrated in FIGS. 4-7. To this end, a corresponding screwing tool engages on the polygon surfaces of the central region of the shaft 1. The polygon surfaces of the inserts 19, 25 flatly abut on polygon surfaces of the cavities 4, 14 such that the inserts 19, 25 are assigned to the shaft 1 in an axially displaceable, but rotationally fixed manner. The screwing tool with an overall length of approximately 35 mm therefore is able to actuate screws with screwing tool insertion openings of four different sizes.

[0057] FIG. 9 shows a second exemplary embodiment that essentially only differs from the first exemplary embodiment in that the insert 19 also has a circumferential groove 30, in which a spring ring is arranged, on its end that points away from the output profile 21. The invention therefore also includes screwdriver inserts, in which both inserts 19, 25 respectively have circumferential grooves 30 with C-shaped spring rings arranged therein on their ends that lie opposite of the output profiles 21, 27.

[0058] FIG. 10 shows a situation, in which both inserts 19, 25 are completely pushed into their assigned cavities 4, 14 such that the end face 20 is aligned with the end face 3 and the end face 26 is aligned with the end face 13. This position particularly can be reached when the screwdriver insert is inserted into a standard bit holder that has a blind bore, into which the shaft 1 can be inserted, as well as retaining elements such as latching balls that engage into corner recesses 16. The respective end face 20 or 26 is then supported on the base of the blind bore.

[0059] FIG. 11 shows a perspective representation of an insert 19 with a polygonal cross section. However, this may also concern an output profile 21 in the form of a square cross section.

[0060] FIG. 12 shows a perspective representation of an insert 19 with an output profile 21 in the form of a circumferential wave profile that is also known as a Torx profile.

[0061] FIG. 13 shows a modification of the insert 19 illustrated in FIG. 12. The output profile 21 also has a Torx profile in this case. However, the end face 20 has an opening 34.

[0062] FIG. 14 shows a perspective representation of an insert 19 with an output profile 21 for insertion into a slot of a slotted screw.

[0063] Other exemplary embodiments, which are not illustrated in the figures, have output profiles 21 that are designed differently from those in FIGS. 11-14, e.g. a cross slot profile or a triangular profile. The rear section of the inserts seated in the cavity of the shaft is profiled in the shape of a polygon.

[0064] FIGS. 15 and 16 show a fifth exemplary embodiment, in which the output profiles 2 and 12 are Torx profiles with different widths. The output profiles 21 and 27 have a hexagonal profile.

[0065] FIGS. 17-19 show a sixth exemplary embodiment, in which the first and second output profiles 2, 12 are hexagonal profiles. In contrast, the output profiles 21 and 27 of the inserts 19, 25 seated in the openings on the face are not polygonal profiles. The insert 19 has a cross slot profile. The insert 25 has a flat profile. The shaft 1 has a through-bore that forms the chamber 6 and is open from the end face 3 to the opposite end face 13, wherein said through-bore has in its center a region of enlarged cross section, and wherein the spring element 10, which acts upon both inserts 19, 25 with a spring force in opposite directions, extends in said region of enlarged cross section.

[0066] In the exemplary embodiments illustrated in FIGS. 15-19, the sections of the chamber 6, in which the inserts 19, 25 are accommodated in a displaceable manner, also have a polygonal profile, particularly a hexagonal profile. The sections of the inserts 19, 25, which are accommodated therein in a displaceable manner, have a corresponding hexagonal profile. The two inserts 19, 25 can be completely pushed into the chamber 6 as described above until the end face 20 lies flush in the end face 3 and the end face 26 lies flush in the end face 13.

[0067] The seventh, eighth and ninth exemplary embodiments illustrated in FIGS. 20-28 respectively have a shaft 1 with a cavity that forms the chamber 6, wherein said cavity is formed by a blind bore arranged in the end face 3 of the shaft 1. The blind bore has a base, which in the seventh exemplary embodiment illustrated in FIGS. 20-22 is formed by a closing plate 43. The spring element 10 is supported on the base of the blind bore with a first end. The second end of the spring element 10 acts upon the end face 24 of the single insert 19 seated in the blind bore. The insert 19 has an end face 20 that can be moved as far as a flush position with the end face 3 of the shaft 1 due to a displacement of the insert 19 against the restoring force of the spring element 10. The insert 19 forms the second output profile 21, which has a smaller cross-sectional area than the first output profile 2 formed by the free end of the shaft 1.

[0068] The seventh exemplary embodiment described with reference to FIGS. 20-22 concerns a socket, which forms a base body that serves as a holder 35 for the shaft 1. The holder 35 forms an axial cavity 36, in which the shaft 1 is seated in a frictionally engaged manner. The cavity 36 may form a step 37, on which the shaft 1 can be supported. A support element 34, e.g. in the form of a closing plate, is supported on the step 37 in the exemplary embodiment. The closing plate closes the opening of the chamber 6 on the rear side. A profiled opening 38, into which an output profile can be inserted, is provided on the side that points away from the insert 19. The profiled opening 38 may have a polygonal cross section, e.g. a square cross section or a hexagonal cross section. The profiled opening 38 may be connected to the cavity 36, into which the shaft 1 is inserted and which is closed by the shaft 1.

[0069] The eighth exemplary embodiment illustrated in FIGS. 23-25 concerns an offset screwdriver that has an output profile on the end of its long limb. The short limb of the offset screwdriver forms a shaft 1 of the above-described type. The shaft 1 has a first output profile 2 on its free end. The shaft 1 forms a blind bore, which is open toward its end face and in which an insert 19 with a second output profile 21 is seated in the above-described manner. The blind bore forms a base that serves as a supporting surface 41, on which the spring element 10 acting upon an end face 24 of the insert 19 is supported.

[0070] The ninth exemplary embodiment described with reference to FIGS. 26-28 concerns a screwing tool with a handle 40. The handle 40 may consist of plastic or wood and capture a blade that forms a shaft 1, wherein said shaft forms a first output profile 2 on its free end. A blind bore is produced in an end face 3 of the shaft 1 and forms the chamber 6, in which an insert 19 acted upon by a spring element 10 is located in the above-described manner.

[0071] The free end of the insert 19 has a hexagonal profile in the exemplary embodiment. However, it may also have any other screw output profile. The spring element 10 is supported on the base of the blind bore forming the chamber 6 on one side and on an end face 24 of the insert 19 on the other side.

[0072] With respect to the capture and function of the insert 19 in the exemplary embodiments illustrated in FIGS. 15-28, we refer to the descriptions of FIGS. 1-14.
