(14) The magnetic device 30 includes a first end 31 and a second end 32, wherein the first end 31 is magnetic. In an embodiment of the present invention, the magnetic device 30 is provided with a first axle member 33 and a magnet 34, wherein the magnet 34 is disposed on one end of the first axle member 33 for providing the magnetism. The second end 32 is disposed on the other end of the first axle member 33 away from the magnet 34. Also, the magnetic device 30 further includes a bear seat 35. The bear seat 35 is provided with a containing bore 351 for containing the magnet 34, such that the bear seat 35 and the magnet 34 are disposed on the first axle member 33, whereby the bear seat 35 is prevented from detaching from the end of the first axle member 33.

(15) The detachable positioning device 40 includes a second axle member 41 and a sliding seat 42 disposed around the outer edge of the second axle member 41. Also, the detachable positioning device 40 further includes a connecting end 43 and a resisting side 44 disposed in opposite to the connecting end 43. The connecting end 43 is formed on the second axle member 41, while the resisting side 44 disposed on the other end of the sliding seat 42 away from the connecting end 43. The connecting end 43 of the second axle member 41 is slidably disposed on the second end 32 of the magnetic device 30. The magnetic device 30 is allowed to axially slide against the detachable positioning device 40.

(16) One end of the detachable positioning device 40 away from the connecting end 43 is provided with a resilient quick detach device 50, which allows the detachable positioning device 40 to be efficiently installed in or removed from the sleeve 200. In an embodiment of the present invention, referring to FIG. 5, the detachable positioning device 40 is provided with a first outer diameter D1. The resilient quick detach device 50 refers to a resilient engage member having a second outer diameter D2, and the second outer diameter D2 is larger than the first outer diameter D1. The resilient engage member is a C-clamp 51 disposed in a ring groove 412 formed on the second axle member 41 of the detachable positioning device 40, wherein the cross-section of the C-clamp 51 is formed in a circular shape. The second outer diameter D2 is defined as the length of the diameter crossing two distal ends that are located at an outer edge of the C-clamp 51, and the first outer diameter D1 is defined as the length of the diameter of a portion of the second axle member 41 of the detachable positioning device 40 adjacent to the resilient engage member, such that the resilient engage member is allowed to be engaged in the inner edge of the sleeve 200. Also, the resilient engage member is allowed to be optionally situated at an elastic deformation position. When at the elastic deformation position, the resilient engage member is provided with a radial contraction, whereby the detachable positioning device 40 freely passes through the sleeve 200, allowing the adjustable magnetic seat 100 to be efficiently installed in or detached from the sleeve 200.

(17) A spring 60 is disposed between the magnetic device 30 and the detachable positioning device 40. One end of the spring 60 resists against the bear seat 35, with the other end thereof resisting against the sliding seat 42 of the detachable positioning device 40. The resisting side 44 is positioned on one end of the sliding seat 42 away from the spring 60. The spring 60 allows the magnetic device 30 to move back to the original position after sliding against the detachable positioning device 40. The magnetic device 30 is provided with a support portion 36 facing the connecting end 43. In an embodiment of the present invention, the support portion 36 is formed on the bear seat 35. When the adjustable magnetic seat 100 is finished being installed in the sleeve 200, the support portion 36 contacts and resists against the connecting end 43, such that the spring 60 is not completely compressed, thereby providing a protection function upon the spring 60.

(18) The resilient quick detach device 50 is disposed on one end of the second axle member 41 away from the connecting end 43. The first axle member 33 is provided with a first limit portion 331, and the second axle member 41 is provided with a second limit portion 411. When the spring 60 restores the magnetic device 30 back to the original position, the first limit portion 331 and the second limit portion 411 prevent the spring 60 from detaching the magnetic device 30 from the detachable positioning device 40. In an embodiment of the present invention, the first limit portion 331 is positioned at the second end 32 of the first axle member 33.

(19) Furthermore, the resisting side 44 of the sliding seat 42 of the detachable positioning device 40 faces the resilient quick detach device 50. The resisting side 44 is provided with a third outer diameter D3 which is larger than the first outer diameter D1 of the detachable positioning device 40, such that a received section 45 forms between the resilient quick detach device 50 and the resisting side 44. The received section 45 is received by the protrusion ring 201 formed on an inner side of the sleeve 200. With the spring 60 resisting against the sliding seat 42, the length of the received section 45 is variable to conform with different thickness variation of the protrusion ring 201 of the sleeve 200, thus being applicable to a wide range exploitation. In addition, an outer wall of the second axle member 41 is provided with a third limit portion 413, and the inner side of the sliding seat 42 is provided with a fourth limit portion 421, such that the third limit portion 413 and the fourth limit portion 421 conduct a blocking function, so as to prevent the sliding seat 42 from detaching from the second axle member 41 toward the resilient quick detach device 50.

(20) Referring to FIG. 6 to FIG. 8, process of the adjustable magnetic seat 100 being installed in the sleeve 200 is schematically illustrated. As shown by FIG. 6, when the adjustable magnetic seat 100 is being installed into the sleeve 200, the resilient quick detach device 50 faces a hexagonal bore 202 which is disposed on one end of the sleeve 200, such that the adjustable magnetic seat 100 is axially pushed toward the sleeve 200 to be installed therein.

(21) Referring to FIG. 5 and FIG. 7, when the resilient quick detach device 50 of the adjustable magnetic seat 100 approaches the protrusion ring 201 of the sleeve 200, the user is able to impose a force to place the resilient quick detach device 50 at an elastic deformation position, so as to cause the C-clamp 51 to radially contract, thus varying the size of the second outer diameter D2 to be at least equal to the size of the first outer diameter D1 of the second axle member 41. With such process, the resilient quick detach device 50 on the detachable positioning device 40 is elastically deformed to pass the protrusion ring 201.

(22) Referring to FIG. 5 and FIG. 8, when the resilient quick detach device 50 of the adjustable magnetic seat 100 passes the protrusion ring 201 of the sleeve 200 and enters a rectangular bore 203, the resilient quick detach device 50 is restored to the normal position, wherein the second outer diameter D2 of the C-clamp 51 is larger than the first outer diameter D1 of the second axle member 41, whereby the received section 45 is received by the protrusion ring 201. Also, the sliding seat 42 is pushed by the spring 60 and resists against one side of the protrusion ring 201, while the other side of the protrusion ring 201 is engaged and fixed by the resilient engage member of the resilient quick detach device 50, whereby the adjustable magnetic seat 100 is efficiently installed in the sleeve 200. Further, the user is allowed to manually assembly the adjustable magnetic seat 100 and the sleeve 200 without additional tools. Also, the adjustable magnetic seat 100 is applicable to various types of sleeves 200 with different thicknesses of the protrusion ring 201, facilitating a wide-ranged exploitation. In contrast, when the adjustable magnetic seat 100 is to be removed from the sleeve 200, the user needs only operates in a reverse order by referring to FIG. 7 to FIG. 6. By axially pushing the adjustable magnetic seat 100 along the sleeve 200 through the rectangular bore 203, the user imposes a force to cause the deformation of the resilient quick detach device 50, such that the resilient quick detach device 50 radially contracts to pass the protrusion ring 201 of the sleeve 200. Therefore, the adjustable magnetic seat 100 is efficiently detached from the sleeve 200.

(23) Referring to FIG. 9, an operating member 70 is directly combined in the hexagonal bore 202 of the sleeve 200, while the rectangular bore 203 of the sleeve 200 is connected by a power tool for driving the operating member 70. When the operating member 70 is combined in the hexagonal bore 202 of the sleeve 200, the operating member 70 is able to be attracted by the magnet 34, so as to be pushed and driven by use of the sleeve 200. During operation, the operating member 70 attached to the sleeve 200 is prevented from detachment, and the bear seat 35 of the magnetic device 30 moves toward the protrusion ring 201 of the sleeve 200. When the operation is finished, the operating member 70 is restored to a non-operating position by the spring 60 and capable of being detached from the sleeve 200.

(24) With such configuration, the adjustable magnetic seat 100 is allowed to be efficiently installed in the removed from the sleeve 200. When the sleeve 200 is damaged or broken, the user is able to detach the adjustable magnetic seat 100 from the sleeve 200 and apply the detached adjustable magnetic seat 100 onto a new sleeve 200, thus preventing the adjustable magnetic seat 100 from being discarded together with the damaged sleeve 200, thereby avoiding unnecessary waste of resource and lowering the cost needed for purchasing a new replacement.

(25) Referring to FIG. 10, a second embodiment of the present invention is illustrated. The resilient engage member of the resilient quick detach device 50 is integrally formed in a hook portion 52 which is disposed on one end of the detachable positioning device 40 away from the connecting end 43. The hook portion 52 defines the second outer diameter D2, wherein the two distal ends of the second outer diameter D2 are located at the outer periphery of the hook portion 52. Through the elastic deformation of the hook portion 52 and through the installation process from FIG. 6 to FIG. 8, the adjustable magnetic seat 100 is efficiently installed in or removed from the sleeve 200.

(26) Referring to FIG. 11, a third embodiment of the present invention is illustrated. The resilient engage member of the resilient quick detach device 50 includes a ball member 53 and a resilient member 54. In the embodiment, two ball members 53 and two resilient members 54 are provided and transversely disposed on two lateral sides on one end of the detachable positioning device 40 away from the connecting end 43. In other words, each resilient member 54 and the corresponding ball member 53 are orderly embedded in a radial groove 414 formed on one lateral side of the second axle member 41. Further, in this embodiment, the two distal ends of the second outer diameter D2 are located on the outer periphery of the two ball members 53. Also, the second end 32 of the first axle member 33 of the magnetic device 30 refers to a resilient tenon member 37, such that the first axle member 33 is allowed to pass through the connecting end 43 of the second axle member 41, and subsequently positioned due to the limitation function imposed by the second limit portion 411 of the second axle member 41. Therefore, the first axle member 33 and the second axle member 41 are easily installed and removed. With such configuration, with the pushing force imposed upon the ball members 53 for compressing the resilient members 54, the adjustable magnetic seat 100 is efficiently installed in or removed from the sleeve 200.

(27) Although particular embodiments of the invention have been described in detail for purposes of illustration, various modifications and enhancements may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Accordingly, the invention is not to be limited except as by the appended claims.
