Assignee:

Snap-on Incorporated - Kenosha WI

International Classification:

B25B 23/10
B25B 13/06

Abstract:

A socket having a working end with a work piece aperture that is adapted to receive a work piece and an opposing drive end adapted to engage a torque application tool. The socket includes a biasing member adapted to apply a biased frictional force to the work piece received in the work piece aperture and including first and second opposing ends, where the first end is restricted from moving in the radial direction, and the second end includes a bent portion and is restricted from moving in the axial direction, and a groove formed in an internal surface of the work piece aperture. The bent portion engages the groove.

International Classification:

H01R 43/042
H02G 1/12

Abstract:

A crimping tool with a crimping opening extending at an angle to the axial direction of the tool. The tool can include jaws with multiple crimping openings cooperatively defined thereby at different angles relative to the longitudinal axial direction of the tool. For example, the crimping openings can begin at a respective faces of the jaw and such faces can extend at different angles relative to the longitudinal axial direction of the tool. In this manner, the tool can allow crimping of connectors at a variety of different angles, reduce jaw length and width, and improve the leverage of the crimpers.

International Classification:

B25B 7/10
B25B 7/04

Abstract:

Pliers with receiving surfaces formed in the handles of the pliers so as to increase the surface area contact between the pliers and the work piece. The pliers grip the work piece at the jaws of the work piece and at the receiving areas to increase the contact area between the tool and the work piece as compared to conventional adjustable pliers.

International Classification:

B25B 7/10
B25B 7/14

Abstract:

Disclosed are adjustable pliers where the pawl mechanism can be engaged or disengaged to adjust a jaw gap of the pliers. The pawl mechanism can be disengaged either by rotating the handles so as to cause a tab to engage a pocket, and/or by lifting upward on the handles to disengage the pawl teeth from corresponding teeth in a slot of one of the handles. The pliers are therefore advantageous because they do not require a button or lever to adjust the jaw gap, and can therefore be adjusted easily.

Abstract:

A one-piece, unitary housing for a tool having apertures at both ends of the housing. The apertures can extend from the ends of the tool to a point prior to the input or output of the tool to increase structural stability. The apertures can be enclosed by flexible covers such that the internal components of the housing can be accessed by removing one or both of the covers.

International Classification:

B25B 13/46

Abstract:

A retainer hoop of an elastic member to restrain the elastic member from moving off a hoop spring of a tool, or from moving off a designated portion of the hoop spring. The elastic member can be retained on a portion of the hoop spring by a tube surrounding a portion of the elastic member, or from a bend or combination of bends in the hoop spring itself. The elastic member is therefore restrained from moving to an area where failure can occur more likely if the tool is dropped or if the tool applies a larger load than is conventionally applied.
