Abstract

An anti-slip fastener remover tool includes a torque-tool body, a plurality of paired engagement features, and a plurality of intersection points. The plurality of paired engagement features that grips the lateral surface of the stripped fastener head is radially positioned around a rotation axis of the torque-tool body. The torque-tool body is inwardly extended from an outer wall of the torque-tool body to the plurality of paired engagement features. Each paired engagement feature is offset by 30 degrees, comprising a first engagement feature and a second engagement feature. The first engagement feature and the second engagement feature each comprise a bracing section, a cavity section, and a connector section. The cavity sections of the first and second engagement features are adjacently connected to each other. The bracing sections of the first and second engagement feature are oppositely positioned about the cavity sections of the first and second engagement features.

Claims (34)

1. An anti-slip fastener remover tool comprises:

a torque-tool body;

a plurality of paired engagement features;

a plurality of intersection points;

the torque-tool body being inwardly extended from an outer wall of the torque-tool body to the plurality of paired engagement features;

each of the plurality of paired engagement features comprising a first engagement feature and a second engagement feature;

a first angle between the first engagement feature being 30 degrees;

a second angle between the second engagement feature being 30 degrees;

a number of the plurality of paired engagement features being six;

a cross section for the first engagement feature and the second engagement feature each comprising a bracing section, a cavity section, and a connector section;

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

a third angle between the bracing section of the first engagement feature for each of the plurality of paired engagement features and the bracing section of the second engagement feature of one of the plurality of paired engagement features being less than 160 degrees;

the bracing section of the first engagement feature for each of the plurality of paired engagement features being connected to the cavity section of the first engagement feature by the connector section of the first engagement feature;

the bracing section of the second engagement feature for each of the plurality of paired engagement features being connected to the cavity section of the second engagement feature by the connector section of the second engagement feature;

the cavity section of the first engagement feature for each of the plurality of paired engagement features being adjacently connected to the cavity section of the second engagement feature of one of the plurality of paired engagement features;

the bracing section of the first engagement feature for each of the plurality of paired engagement features being connected to the bracing section of the second engagement feature of one of the plurality of paired engagement features by one of the plurality of intersection points; and

the cavity section of the first engagement feature and the cavity section of the second engagement feature being oriented away from the rotational axis for each of the plurality of paired engagement features.

2. The anti-slip fastener remover tool as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the bracing section of the first engagement feature from an arbitrary paired engagement feature being offset from the bracing section of the second engagement feature of an adjacent paired engagement feature by a fourth angle of less than 180 degrees.

3. The anti-slip fastener remover tool as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the connector section is a sharp point.

4. The anti-slip fastener remover tool as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the bracing surface, the connector section, and the cavity section are colinear.

5. The anti-slip fastener remover tool as claimed in claim 1 , the plurality of paired engagement features being tapered along the rotational axis from a first base towards a second base.

6. The anti-slip fastener remover tool as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of intersection points is a sharp point.

7. The anti-slip fastener remover tool as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of intersection points is a curved section.

8. The anti-slip fastener remover tool as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the connector section is a concave segment, wherein the connector section is oriented toward from the rotational axis.

9. The anti-slip fastener remover tool as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a first length ratio between the bracing section of the first engagement feature and the cavity section of the first engagement feature is 1:2.

10. The anti-slip fastener remover tool as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a second length ratio between the bracing section of the second engagement feature and the cavity section of the second engagement feature is 1:2.

11. The anti-slip fastener remover tool as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a radial distance of the plurality of intersection points being 4 to 12 times larger than a first-length for the bracing section of the first engagement feature.

12. The anti-slip fastener remover tool as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a radial distance of the plurality of intersection points being 4 to 12 times larger than a second-length for the bracing section of the second engagement feature.

13. The anti-slip fastener remover tool as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a radial distance of the plurality of intersection points is smaller than a radial distance for the connector section of the first engagement feature.

14. The anti-slip fastener remover tool as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a radial distance of the plurality of intersection points is smaller than a radial distance for the connector section of the second engagement feature.

15. The anti-slip fastener remover tool as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the bracing section of the first engagement feature and the bracing section of the second engagement feature are positioned offset of each other.

16. The anti-slip fastener remover tool as claimed in claim 1 , comprising:

an engagement bore; and

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