| 20140102261 | SOCKET TOOL WITH ADJUSTABLE DEPTH - An adjustable socket tool with a selectively adjustable depth includes a housing having an elongated passage. A fastener socket is attached to a proximal end of the housing for concurrent rotation therewith and includes an interior region in communication with the elongated passage. The adjustable socket further includes an elongated stop pin slidably disposed within the elongated passage and fixed to the housing for concurrent rotation therewith about a longitudinal axis of the stop pin. The stop pin includes a proximal end arranged proximate the fastener socket so as to operably engage a bolt received within the fastener socket. | 04-17-2014 |
| 20140150612 | TAMPER RESISTANT SECURITY FASTENER SYSTEM - A tamper resistant fastener system includes a threaded fastener having a head provided with uniquely formed and arranged engagement teeth for engaging with complimentarily formed teeth on a socket style torque transmitting drive tool. Engagement of the respective sets of teeth on application of torque from the drive tool in one direction advances the fastener, but application of torque from the drive tool is not effective in an opposed direction to remove the fastener. | 06-05-2014 |
| 20140165791 | WRENCH - A wrench is formed with a polygonal first engaging hole that is defined by a plurality of engaging surfaces and that is adapted for engaging a head of a first bolt. Each engaging surface has a pair of plane surface portions and an intermediate surface portion interconnecting the plane surface portions and defining a groove. The grooves of the engaging surfaces collaboratively define a polygonal second engaging hale for engaging a head of a second bolt. The intermediate surface portion of each engaging surface cooperates with the corresponding plane surface portions to form two angular intersections adapted to abut respectively against side surfaces of the head of the second bolt that define a corresponding corner of the head of the second bolt. | 06-19-2014 |
| 20140190317 | Universal Propeller Wrench Multi-tool - A propeller wrench for easily removing and installing boat motor propellers is described. The wrench is equipped with specially sized extensions and socket in order to expedite the job at hand. Up to seven tools are incorporated into the propeller wrench, including tools designed for both Mercury Inboard/Outboard propellers and the Volvo Penta propeller setups, making it easy to use only a single tool to accomplish the entire removal or installation of a boat propeller. The propeller wrench is designed to be universal in nature, and expedite the process of propeller installation and replacement. | 07-10-2014 |
| 20140260823 | UNIVERSAL WRENCH FOR ADJUSTMENT OF C-STAND HANDLES - A universal wrench may include a socket including an inner profile contoured to engage outer perimeters of differently-sized generally oval manual handles only when a long axis of the universal receptacle is not parallel to respective long axes of the generally oval manual handles and a handle extending from a base of the universal receptacle. The socket is of elongated form, in that it may be defined by substantially parallel walls spaced a distance apart and comprising the inner profile, said parallel walls being at least about twice as long as the distance. The inner profile may be principally defined by the substantially parallel walls of the socket. | 09-18-2014 |
| 20150040729 | SOCKET - The present invention provides a socket. A tubular body has a first end has a through hole, an internal wall of the through hole, a receiving groove formed in the internal wall of the through hole and at least one bead aperture perforated through the tubular body and communicated with the receiving groove. A spiral spring is disposed in the receiving groove and has an axis and a plurality of elastic coils extending along the axis. At least one bead body is disposed in the bead aperture and abutted by the elastic coils of the spiral spring, and hence the bead body is partially protruded out of the bead aperture. Therefore, when assembled to or combined with a wrench, the socket can fixedly connect with the wrench; hence, the socket can achieve excellent rotation effect when the wrench rotates the socket. | 02-12-2015 |
| 20150101458 | INTEGRATED FLOW DRILL SCREW WITH T-STUD - A flow drill screw includes a shank that extends along a rotation axis. The shank includes a flow drill portion and a thread portion. A head is attached to the shank at a second axial end of the shank, adjacent the thread portion. An attachment portion extends from the head and away from the thread portion, along the rotation axis. The attachment portion may include a T-stud connector, and is operable to attach a device thereto. A drive tool includes an open interior region for receiving the attachment portion therein. The head of the flow drill screw includes an external drive interface, disposed on an exterior surface of the head, radially about the rotation axis, which mates with an internal drive interface of the drive tool, to transmit torque therebetween. | 04-16-2015 |
| 20150135910 | SOCKET DRIVE IMPROVEMENT - Sockets, for example, hexagon sockets, dodecagonal sockets, and splined sockets, that have inner surface geometries adapted to engage a flank of a fastener at a point away from a corner of the fastener. In general, the sockets engage the flank of the fastener at a distance of about 30 to 60 percent of half a length of the flank away from the corner of the fastener. This increases the strength and life of the socket, reduces a risk of the fastener becoming locked or stuck in the socket, and reduces the risk of the fastener being stripped or the socket slipping on the fastener. | 05-21-2015 |
| 20150290780 | MULTI-PURPOSE WRENCH FOR SERVICING A FIREARM - A wrench and a method for performing gunsmithing operations is disclosed. The wrench may have a first end and a second end. The first end may have an integrated two-sided castle nut and flash hider wrench aperture, and the second end may have a tool interface. The aperture may have a plurality of raised elements for engaging indentations in a castle nut, each of the raised elements extending at least one of inwardly from a wall section of the aperture and upwardly from a first face of the wrench. The aperture may have a flash hider cutout portion. | 10-15-2015 |
| 20150375373 | Wrench - A wrench includes a wrench body provided with a hollow mounting hole which is mounted on a workpiece which has a plurality of outer sides and a plurality of corners. The mounting hole of the wrench body is provided with a plurality of locking edges and a plurality of receiving grooves. Thus, the receiving grooves of the wrench body receive the corners of the workpiece to prevent the wrench body from contacting the corners of the workpiece, so that the corners of the workpiece will not be rubbed when the wrench body drives the workpiece. In addition, the locking edges of the wrench body press and provide a force to drive the outer sides of the workpiece so that the wrench body can be used to drive the workpiece whose corners have been worn out, without producing slip during operation. | 12-31-2015 |
| 20160136793 | TORQUE WRENCH FOR ARCHERY BROADHEADS AND FASTENERS - A tool for archery broadheads or other fasteners is provided including an engagement end having an aperture, socket or drive feature to accommodate the broadhead or engage a fastener. The tool is constructed at least partially from an elastomeric material. Upon application of a moment to the tool by a user, part of the tool deforms or twists so that indicia elements move relative to one another and output torque or moment information to a user based on the spatial orientation of the indicia elements relative to one another. | 05-19-2016 |
