Abstract

A wrench-type tool that utilizes a plurality of engagement features to efficiently transfer torque to a fastener in order to rotate said fastener. The wrench-type tool includes a wrench-type torque-tool body. The wrench-type torque-tool body is the physical structure used to apply a torque force onto the fastener and includes a plurality of internal sidewalls and a plurality of engagement teeth. The plurality of internal sidewalls is radially distributed about a pivot axis of the wrench-type torque-tool body. Each of the plurality of engagement teeth is adjacently connected to a corresponding sidewall from the plurality of internals sidewalls in order to directly engage the sidewalls of the fastener. To increase the total contact surface with the fastener, a prismatic altitude for each of the plurality of engagement teeth is aligned parallel to the pivot axis. Furthermore, each of the plurality of engagement teeth is oriented towards the pivot axis.

Claims (43)

1 . An anti-slip wrench-type tool comprising:

a wrench-type torque-tool body;

the torque-tool body comprising a plurality of internal sidewalls and a plurality of engagement teeth;

the plurality of internal sidewalls being radially distributed about a pivot axis of the wrench-type torque-tool body;

the plurality of engagement teeth being radially distributed about the pivot axis of the wrench-type torque-tool body;

the plurality of engagement teeth being adjacently connected to the plurality of internal sidewalls;

a prismatic altitude for each of the plurality of engagement teeth being aligned parallel to the pivot axis;

each of the plurality of engagement teeth being oriented towards the pivot axis;

a cross section for each of the plurality of engagement teeth being a quadrilateral shape;

a first base line of the quadrilateral shape being positioned coincident with the corresponding sidewall; and

a second base line of the quadrilateral shape being positioned parallel and offset to the first base line.

2 . The anti-slip wrench-type tool as claimed in claim 1 further comprising:

wherein a length of the corresponding sidewall and a length of the second base line being at a ratio of 3:1 with each other.

3 . The anti-slip wrench-type tool as claimed in claim 1 further comprising:

a length of the first base line and a length of the second base line being at a ratio of 1.1:1 with each other.

4 . The anti-slip wrench-type tool as claimed in claim 1 further comprising:

the quadrilateral shape tapering from the second base line towards the first base line;

a first leg line of the quadrilateral shape being at a first acute angle with the corresponding sidewall;

a second leg line of the quadrilateral shape being at a second acute angle with the corresponding sidewall; and

the first leg line and the second leg line being oriented towards each other.

5 . The anti-slip wrench-type tool as claimed in claim 1 further comprising:

each of the plurality of engagement teeth being centrally positioned to the corresponding sidewall.

6 . The anti-slip wrench-type tool as claimed in claim 1 further comprising:

a first leg line of the quadrilateral shape being oriented perpendicular to the corresponding sidewall; and

a second leg line of the quadrilateral shape being oriented perpendicular to the corresponding sidewall.

7 . The anti-slip wrench-type tool as claimed in claim 1 further comprising:

a cylindrical attachment body;

an engagement bore;

the cylindrical attachment body being centrally positioned around and along the pivot axis;

the cylindrical attachment body being connected adjacent to the wrench-type torque-tool body; and

the engagement bore traversing into the cylindrical attachment body along the pivot axis, opposite the wrench-type torque-tool body.

8 . The anti-slip wrench-type tool as claimed in claim 1 further comprising:

a wrench handle; and

the wrench handle being peripherally connected to the wrench-type torque-tool body.

9 . The anti-slip wrench-type tool as claimed in claim 8 further comprising:

a fastener-receiving hole;

the fastener-receiving hole traversing through the wrench-type torque-tool body, perpendicular to the pivot axis; and

the fastener-receiving hole being positioned opposite the wrench handle, across the wrench-type torque-tool body.

10 . The anti-slip wrench-type tool as claimed in claim 1 further comprising:

the plurality of internal sidewalls comprising an arbitrary sidewall and an adjacent sidewall; and

the arbitrary sidewall being adjacently adjoining to the adjacent sidewall by a curved corner.

11 . The anti-slip wrench-type tool as claimed in claim 1 further comprising:

each of the plurality of engagement teeth being adjacently connected to a corresponding sidewall from the plurality of internal sidewalls.
