SOCKET STRUCTURE FOR INSTALLING AND REMOVING TIRES

Abstract

A socket structure for installing and removing tires includes a sheathing action section, a neck buffer section and a power plug section, and the sheathing action section has an axial polygonal action hole, and the power plug section has an axial square hole and a radial through hole provided for plugging and connecting a power output shaft of a power tool to achieve the expected effect of outputting power. The sheathing action section has an edge thickening and reinforcing portion at the front end to improve the overall structural strength of the sheathing action section and achieve the effects of preventing damage and extending service life.

Claims

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

[0013] To make it easier for our examiner to understand the objective of the invention, its features, and advantages, we use a preferred embodiment together with the attached drawings for the detailed description of the invention.

[0014] With to FIGS. 1 to 3 for a socket structure for installing and removing tires in accordance with the present invention, the structure comprises a socket 20 including a sheathing action section 21, a neck buffer section 22 and a power plug section 23, and the sheathing action section 21 has an axial polygonal action hole 24 sheathed on a screw which is secured to a tire, and the power plug section 23 has an axial square hole 25 and a radial through hole 26 provided for plugging a power output shaft of a power tool to achieve an expected power transmission effect, characterized in that the sheathing action section 21 has an edge thickening and reinforcing portion 27 disposed at a front end and a primary thickening and reinforcing portion 28 disposed at a rear end of the sheathing action section 21 to improve the overall structural strength of the sheathing action section 21 effectively, so as to prevent damage and extend service life.

[0015] Wherein, the edge thickening and reinforcing portion 27 is capable of withstanding unexpected collision or hitting and preventing its deformation or damage, and the primary thickening and reinforcing portion 28 is disposed adjacent to the neck buffer section 22, so that after the sheathing action section 21 is cracked by an external stress exceeding to its load capacity, the primary thickening and reinforcing portion 28 can control the cracking range of the material, so that the sheathing action section 21 will not be cracked completely, so as to prevent the cracked pieces from shooting at the users, and ensure the safety of use.

[0016] In addition, the neck buffer section 22 has an effect of providing instantaneous response to torsional stresses and high strength and toughness to the material of the socket when a force is exerted to the socket 20, so as to buffer the external force effective and reduce the risk of cracking the material. However, the design of such buffering technique is a well-known art used in various different hand tools and related assemblies, and thus will not be described in details.

[0017] With referenced to FIGS. 2 and 4 for the actual application of the socket 20 in accordance with the present invention, an outer ring plastic cover 30 in a corresponding cylindrical shape is covered onto the outer periphery of the sheathing action section 21 to prevent damages of tire rims caused by collisions.
