The elbow plates are pivotally mounted on the slipping portions respectively. The restricting elements are inserted slidably in the restricting holes respectively and are fixed on the base plate. The rotating base is pivotally mounted on the elbow plates and has an adapter. When the clamp plates are separated from each other, the restricting elements can ensure that the clamp plates move parallelly, such that stability and strength of the device can be enhanced.01-30-2014
20140053693Adjustable Socket - An adjustable socket including a housing designed on a longitudinal axis, with a series of grooves extending longitudinally along the interior wall. A disc with guide slots intruding obliquely off-center from the perimeter is locked into position within the housing. Jaw members with bottom stems and cams are mounted in the disc guide slots, free to move laterally along fixed paths. An axially rotatable drive core with a cam surface is positioned within the housing, engaging the cam of each jaw. Rotation of the drive core forces the jaws to travel inwardly along the disc guide slots as dictated by the spiraling guide elements of the cam surface, to be forced against a fastener within the jaws. A locking mechanism holds the jaws in position on the fastener. Release of the locking mechanism allows rotation of the drive core in the opposite direction to release the fastener.02-27-2014

20120304830MULTI-FUNCTION TOOL STRUCTURE - In a multi-function tool structure, a body and a work rod are pivotally connected together and can form a folded and retracted state. Moreover, an elastically movable press button is disposed on the body and can link up a positioning pin movably inserted into the work rod. Thus, pressing the press button can release a lock between the work rod and the positioning pin so that the work rod is swingable, while releasing the press button can lock the positioning pin and the work rod together again. Thus, the work rod and the body can be folded and retracted to facilitate the storage and carrying. After the work rod is developed, it can form multiple included angles with respect to the body so that the requirements of different operation angles can be satisfied.12-06-2012
