Abstract:
A ratchet tool includes a shaft and a handle to which a direction selection collar is mounted and a ratchet member is received in the handle. The ratchet member has inner toothed periphery and two pawl members engaged with the inner toothed periphery. The ratchet member has three dents defined in one of two ends thereof and the direction selection collar has a positioning member embedded therein which is movably received in one of the dents when rotating the collar. The collar has a rod extending between the two pawl members, the rod pivoting one of the pawl member to disengage from the inner toothed periphery by rotating the collar.
Abstract:
A sight flow indication apparatus with multi-sealing protective arrangements includes: an upper and a lower flange coupling member, each member having a stuffing box formed therein; a first and a second gland member each having a gland pipe portion formed in conjunction with the stuffing boxes; a transparent sight flow tube, the periphery of which has a layer of a thin film of a transparent protective material disposed thereon, tightly secured in the stuffing boxes between the upper and lower flange coupling members through the first and second gland members and a plurality of gasket members; and a plurality of gland packing members respectively disposed in the stuffing boxes in connection with the first and second gland members and the transparent sight flow tube; whereby, when the first and second gland members and the transparent sight flow tube are tightly fastened between the upper and lower flange coupling members, effective means of sealing protection are achieved accordingly.

Abstract:
A robust method for detecting a relative position of a feedback device, such as an encoder or resolver, coupled to a shaft, such as a motor shaft, is provided. To detect the relative position, electrical commands are issued in an open loop mode to spin the motor shaft an amount greater than the apparent rotational angle between two consecutive markers of the position feedback device, such that the net mechanical rotation is equal to or greater than the total rotational angle between two consecutive markers.
Abstract:
A screwdriver includes a handle, a shaft, a torque-transmitting unit and a torque-adjusting unit. The shaft is partially inserted in the handle. The torque-transmitting unit is located in the handle and operable to transmit an adjustable maximum value of torque to the shaft from the handle. The torque-adjusting unit is partially located in the handle, connected to the torque-transmitting unit, and operable to adjust the adjustable maximum value of torque.
