Abstract:
A high torque wrenching system having a wrench (20) with asymmetrical torque transmission capability. The wrench includes a plurality of protuberances (32) and a plurality of recesses (50) around a central axis (A). The fastener (30) also includes a plurality of protuberances (33) and recesses (51) around the central axis for mating with the wrench. The protuberances and recesses form a saw tooth shape. Each tooth or protuberance is formed by a first wrenching surface (36) for loosening the fastener and a second wrenching surface (38) for tightening the fastener. The wrenching surface carrying the loosening load is at a much smaller angle with respect to a radial vector (R) extending from the wrench's central axis than the wrenching surface carrying the tightening load. The result is that the loosening torque vector will have a much greater moment arm.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a profile of a screwdriver engagement opening located on a screw and to an accompanying engagement profile of a screwdriver which has a negative shape that essentially corresponds to the shape of the engagement opening. A central protrusion (3) projects from the essentially level bottom (1) of the engagement opening (2) and is surrounded by an annular free space (4). Radial recesses (5) originate from said annual free space (4) with flanks (6) that run in an approximately radial direction. Said flanks (6) each open into a face (7) of the recess (5) that is located approximately on a circumferential line. According to the invention, the face (7) constructs an opening section (9) that is next to the edge (8) of the opening and constructs a cylindrical section (10) that is next to the bottom (1). In addition, the central protrusion (3) has a dome-shaped contour.
Abstract:
Disclosed is an asymmetrical fastening system comprising (1) a fastener having asymmetrical loosening surfaces and tightening surfaces formed in a single fastening periphery, and (2) a wrench comprising asymmetrical loosening surfaces and tightening surfaces formed in a single fastening periphery, that engage, respectively, the loosening surfaces and tightening surfaces of the fastener. When the wrench engages the fastener and force is applied to the wrench the torque to failure of the system in the loosening direction is greater than the torque to failure in the tightening direction.
Abstract:
A driver bit and a driving tool having a plurality of projections (14, 24, 32) formed on at least one surface (12, 24) of the shank portion/driving portion of the bit/tool (10) to retain the bit in a bit holder, or to retain a socket or the like on the driving tool. The projections are formed such that the geometric envelope (30) of the bit is within the tolerance of the bit holder, so that the bit can be used with standardized holders. When torque is applied to the bit or driving tool, the projections (14, 24, 32) engage the inner surface of a standardized holder/socket, thereby retaining the bit/socket.
Abstract:
A screwdriving tool to drive a screw into a surface, said tool including a converging screw engagement end (10) which has a formation (24) to engage a screw, said formation also forming part of a countersinking means (12) formed on the remainder of said tool, wherein said countersinking means is also formed on said engagement end with said countersinking means at least in part being insertable into a recess in said screw, said recess being used to drive said screw into a surface.
Abstract:
A driver bit and a header punch for manufacture of screws comprising a screw comprising substantially vertical end wall portions of predetermined depth formed on an end edge portion of a bit fitting groove on a screw head, non-planar bottom portions raised from lower edge portions of the vertical end wall portions toward a center of the screw head, inclined groove portions extending from raised portions of the non-planar bottom portions toward a center of a screw neck, a substantially conical-shaped bottom surface formed on a bottom of the groove, the bit fitting groove being adapted to a driver bit, which has a blade adapted to be fitted into the bit fitting groove and has a lower edge portion of the blade adapted to abut against the non-planar bottom portions. In this manner, groove portions of a cross groove on the screw are improved in construction, whereby it is possible to effectively prevent a driver bit from coming out, prevent breakage of screws caused in the prior art, always achieve an appropriate and rapid screw fastening work even when the cross groove of the screw is broken, and to significantly enhance an efficiency in work.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a tool with structured working surfaces which transmit torque when applied to a work piece, in particular a screwdriver bit. In order to create a tool with a working surface that is optimally suited to its purpose, it is proposed that it should be designed either as a moulded part of sintered powder metal such that the roughness resulting from the grain size of the powder metal creates the optimal structure in the working surface for the transmission of torque, or alternatively should be provided with a surface with rolled nubs.
Abstract:
A driver for applying torque to threaded fasteners has a plurality of teeth extending along and projecting outwardly from a longitudinal axis of a body on which the teeth are located. The teeth have a helical twist about the longitudinal axis. Each tooth has an angularly oriented engagement surface which is engageable with similarly angularly oriented surfaces within recesses in the head of a compatible fastener. When the driver engages the recesses torque applied to the driver draws the driver deeper into the recesses as the engagement surfaces react against and slide over the angularly oriented surfaces within the recesses. The torque also causes the fastener to turn and advance or retract depending upon the sense of the torque and the angles of the engagement surfaces and the angles of the surfaces within the recesses. The fastener and its method of manufacture are also disclosed.
