Abstract

This disclosure is directed to a screwdriver bit coupling structure ( 1 ) having a screwdriver base ( 20 ) and a ring plug ( 30 ). The screwdriver base ( 20 ) includes a fixing base ( 21 ) and a fixing cylinder ( 22 ). The fixing cylinder ( 22 ) includes an embedding recess ( 221 ) and an engaging recess ( 222 ). The fixing cylinder ( 22 ) has an outer end edge ( 223 ). The ring plug ( 30 ) includes an elastic segment ( 31 ) and an abutting segment ( 32 ). The abutting segment ( 32 ) is pressed by the outer end edge ( 223 ). The screwdriver bit ( 2 ) is inserted into the embedding recess ( 221 ) through the ring plug ( 30 ). The screwdriver bit ( 2 ) is pressed by the elastic segment ( 31 ) to be firmly fixed in the engaging recess ( 222 ).

Claims (15)

1 . A screwdriver bit coupling structure ( 1 ) of hand tool, used for coupling a screwdriver bit ( 2 ), comprising:

a handle ( 10 ), comprising a front end ( 11 ) for coupling the screwdriver bit ( 2 );

a screwdriver base ( 20 ), comprising a fixing base ( 21 ) and a fixing cylinder ( 22 ) connected to the fixing base ( 21 ), the fixing cylinder ( 22 ) comprising an embedding recess ( 221 ) and an engaging recess ( 222 ) communicated with the embedding recess ( 221 ), the screwdriver base ( 20 ) being coupled to the handle ( 10 ), and the fixing cylinder ( 22 ) comprising an outer end edge ( 223 );

a ring plug ( 30 ), made of an insulative material, comprising an elastic segment ( 31 ) and an abutting segment ( 32 ) connected to the elastic segment ( 31 ), the elastic segment ( 31 ) being inserted into the engaging recess ( 222 ), the abutting segment abutting against the engaging recess ( 222 ) and being pressed by the outer end edge ( 223 ) of the fixing cylinder ( 22 ); and

an O-ring ( 40 ), disposed between an outer surface of the elastic segment ( 31 ) and an inner surface of the engaging recess ( 222 ),

wherein the screwdriver bit ( 2 ) is inserted into the embedding recess ( 221 ) through the ring plug ( 30 ), the screwdriver bit ( 2 ) is pressed by the elastic segment ( 31 ) to be fixed in the engaging recess ( 222 ).

2 . The screwdriver bit coupling structure of hand tool of claim 1 , wherein the elastic segment ( 31 ) is disposed with a groove ( 33 ).

3 . The screwdriver bit coupling structure of hand tool of claim 2 , wherein the elastic segment ( 31 ) comprises a plurality of elastic claws ( 311 ), and the groove ( 33 ) is defined on the elastic claws ( 311 ).

4 . The screwdriver bit coupling structure of hand tool of claim 3 , wherein the groove ( 33 ) is configured to be of an arcuate or V shape.

5 . The screwdriver bit coupling structure of hand tool of claim 3 , wherein the O-ring ( 40 ) is disposed in the groove ( 33 ) and sleeves the elastic segment ( 31 ).

6 . The screwdriver bit coupling structure of hand tool of claim 1 , wherein the ring plug ( 30 ) comprises a hollow portion ( 300 ) and is configured to be of a hexagonal shape, and the embedding recess ( 221 ) is configured to be of a hexagonal shape.

7 . The screwdriver bit coupling structure of hand tool of claim 1 , wherein a step ( 220 ) is formed between the embedding recess ( 221 ) and the engaging recess ( 222 ), and the elastic segment ( 31 ) abuts against the step ( 220 ).

8 . The screwdriver bit coupling structure of hand tool of claim 1 , wherein the ring plug ( 30 ) and the O-ring ( 40 ) are made of plastic.

9 . The screwdriver bit coupling structure of hand tool of claim 1 , wherein the fixing base ( 21 ) and the fixing cylinder ( 22 ) are embedded in the handle ( 10 ).

10 . The screwdriver bit coupling structure of hand tool of claim 1 , wherein the fixing base ( 21 ) is embedded in the handle ( 10 ), and the fixing cylinder ( 22 ) protrudes out from the front end ( 11 ) of the handle ( 10 ).
