Abstract

An anti-slip multidirectional fastener remover tool includes a torque-tool body and a plurality of engagement features. A cross section for each of the plurality of engagement features includes a bracing portion, at least one cavity portion, a first interior angle, and a second interior angle. The plurality of engagement features is radially and outwardly distributed about a rotational axis of the torque-tool body. The bracing portion and the cavity portion are adjacently connected to each other about the first interior angle. The cavity portion is oriented towards the rotational axis as the second interior angle is delineated between a first lateral section and a second lateral section of the cavity portion.

Claims (33)

1. An anti-slip multidirectional fastener remover tool comprises:

a torque-tool body;

a plurality of engagement features;

a cross section for each of the plurality of engagement features comprising a bracing portion, a plurality of cavity portions, a first interior angle, and a second interior angle;

the plurality of engagement features being radially distributed about a rotational axis of the torque-tool body;

the bracing portion and the cavity portions being adjacently connected to each other about the first interior angle;

the cavity portions being oriented towards the rotational axis;

the second interior angle being delineated between a first lateral section and a second lateral section of the cavity portions;

the plurality of cavity portions comprising a left cavity portion and a right cavity portion;

a flat portion;

the bracing portion being positioned in between the first lateral section of the right cavity portion and the first lateral section of the left cavity portion;

the bracing portion being adjacently connected to the first lateral section of the right cavity portion;

the bracing portion being adjacently connected to the first lateral section of the left cavity portion;

the second lateral section of the right cavity portion being adjacently connected to the first lateral section of the right cavity portion, opposite of the bracing portion;

the second lateral section of the left cavity portion being adjacently connected to the first lateral section of the left cavity portion, opposite of the bracing portion;

the flat portion being adjacently connected to the second lateral section of the right cavity portion; and

the second interior angle being a reflex angle.

2. The anti-slip multidirectional fastener remover tool as claimed in claim 1 comprising:

the torque-tool body being outwardly extended from the rotational axis to the plurality of engagement features.

3. The anti-slip multidirectional fastener remover tool as claimed in claim 1 comprises:

an attachment body;

an engagement bore;

the attachment body being centrally positioned around and along the rotational axis;

the attachment body being adjacently connected to the torque-tool body; and

the engagement bore traversing into the attachment body along the rotational axis, opposite of the torque-tool body.

4. The anti-slip multidirectional fastener remover tool as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first interior angle is an obtuse angle.

5. The anti-slip multidirectional fastener remover tool as claimed in claim 1 comprising:

a third interior angle;

the plurality of engagement features comprising an arbitrary feature and an adjacent feature; and

the flat portion of the arbitrary feature and the second lateral section for the left cavity portion of the adjacent feature being adjacently positioned with each other about the third interior angle.

6. The anti-slip multidirectional fastener remover tool as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the third interior angle is an obtuse angle.

7. The anti-slip multidirectional fastener remover tool as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first lateral section of the right cavity portion and the second lateral section of the right cavity portion intersect tangent a concave section.

8. The anti-slip multidirectional fastener remover tool as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first lateral section of the left cavity portion and the second lateral section of the left cavity portion intersect tangent a concave section.
