Abstract

A torch tail cap includes a tail cap base which has a middle portion provided with an inner cavity, a life hammer which is axially inserted into the inner cavity of the tail cap base, and a retractable ring which is rotationally installed on the periphery of the tail cap base and is connected with the life hammer. The retractable ring drives the life hammer to extend out of or retract back into the inner cavity during rotation. The life hammer can be conveniently accommodated in the tail cap when not in use.

Claims (21)

1. A torch tail cap, comprising:

a tail cap base, having a middle portion provided with an inner cavity;

a life hammer, axially inserted in the inner cavity of the tail cap base; and,

a retractable ring, rotationally installed on the periphery of the tail cap base and connected with the life hammer, the retractable ring capable of driving the life hammer to extend out or retract back into the inner cavity during rotation.

2. The torch tail cap according to claim 1 , further comprising a support rack for fixing the life hammer movably installed in the inner cavity; the retractable ring connected with the support rack; and by rotating the retractable ring, the support rack, together with the life hammer, being driven to move axially.

3. The torch tail cap according to claim 2 , wherein the inner wall of the retractable ring is in a threaded connection with the outside wall of the support rack; the support rack is circumferentially limited in the inner cavity; and the retractable ring is axially limited on the periphery of the tail cap base.

4. The torch tail cap according to claim 3 , further comprising a plurality of pins matched with the retractable ring integrally and circularly disposed on the periphery of the support rack; the outside walls of the plurality of pins all formed with external screw thread structures; and the inner wall of the retractable ring in a threaded connection with the outside walls of all pins at the same time.

5. The torch tail cap according to claim 4 , wherein the tail cap base is provided with a plurality of guide sleeves which extend from the middle portion to the tail of the tail cap base and are matched with the support rack; the inner cavity is formed by enclosing the guide sleeves; the life hammer extends out of the tail of the tail cap base when extending out; the guide sleeves and the pins correspond to each other one by one and are disposed at intervals; two adjacent guide sleeves enclose to form a limiting gap which communicates with the inner cavity and circumferentially limits a corresponding one of the pins; and all pins are respectively circumferentially limited in corresponding limiting gaps.

6. The torch tail cap according to claim 5 , wherein the outside wall of the tail of each one of the guide sleeves is provided with a thread head; a rear cap which axially limits the retractable ring is disposed at the tail of the tail cap base; the tail cap base is disposed at the middle portion of the tail cap base; the inner wall of the rear cap is in a threaded connection with the thread heads of all guide sleeves at the same time; the middle portion of the rear cap is formed with a central through-hole through which the life hammer extends out and retracts.

7. The torch tail cap according to claim 6 , further comprising a step structure disposed on the inner side of the tail of each one of the guide sleeves, and the step structures enclosing to form a support step; and a support retainer ring which is pressed against the inner wall of the rear capes disposed in a way of tightly fitting the support step.

8. The torch tail cap according to claim 7 , wherein the end face of the tail of the support retainer ring is leveled with the end faces of the tails of the guide sleeves.

9. The torch tail cap according to claim 6 , further comprising a reinforcing ring disposed in a way of tightly fitting the inner side of the central through-hole.

10. The torch tail cap according to claim 5 , further comprising four pins; the four pins distributed on the periphery of the support rack in a “crossed” shape; and four corresponding limiting gaps distributed on the tail cap base in a way of a “crossed” open slot structure.

11. The torch tail cap according to claim 2 , wherein the middle portion of the support rack is formed with a support through-hole, and the end portion of one end of the life hammer close to the middle portion of the tail cap base is inserted into the support through-hole and is tightly connected with the support rack.

12. The torch tail cap according to claim 1 , further comprising a separating ring disposed at the middle portion of the tail cap base; the retractable ring rotationally installed in the middle portion of the tail cap base and connected with the separating ring; a first groove which is positioned on one side of the separating ring that faces the tail of the tail cap base disposed on the periphery of the middle portion of the tail cap base; and a damping rubber ring which contacts the retractable ring disposed in the first groove.

13. The torch tail cap according to claim 1 , wherein external thread joints are disposed on the periphery of the head of the tail cap base.

14. The torch tail cap according to claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of concave anti-sliding grooves are disposed around the periphery of the retractable ring.
