| 081177700 | Having pivoted handle section | 17 |
| 20100037736 | TOOL KIT - A tool kit includes two opposite grips sets respectively provided with two combining plates connected by connecting rods having tools pivotally fitted thereon. Each combining plate of one grip set has its edge disposed with a rail groove having its center cut with a notch and its opposite inner walls respectively bored with a lengthwise engage slot. Each combining plate of the other grip set has its connecting edge secured with a position projecting rail corresponding with the rail groove, and having its center fixed with connecting projection matching with the notch of the rail groove and its opposite sides respectively provided with an engage bar to be inserted in the engage slot. Thus, mutual engagement of the rail grooves and the position projecting rails forms a large combination area to increase frictional force and enable the two grip sets to be stably combined together. | 02-18-2010 |
| 20110005359 | TOOL WITH ADJUSTABLE WORKING ANGLE - A tool with adjustable working angle, wherein a connecting member of the tool is provided with a strengthened portion which is thicker than the thickness of a first or second connecting portion of the connecting member, so that four standing surfaces are formed at connections of the first connecting portion, the four standing surfaces have the same height, which means that the connecting member is a balanced structure, so that torque can be evenly and smoothly transmitted from the first or second connecting portion to the strengthened portion to prevent deformation. | 01-13-2011 |
| 20110048180 | TOOL ADAPTOR - The tool adaptor of the present invention includes a first work piece, a second work piece and a block element. The work pieces are pivoted with each other.
