Screwdriver tool
View Patent ↗A screwdriver tool contains: an operation rod and a magnetic attraction assembly. The operation rod includes a tool segment, a neck section, a first stop face, and a second stop face. The magnetic attraction assembly includes a slidable sleeve having an accommodation section, a magnetic attracting loop, an extension piece, and a covering piece. A diameter of the neck section is less than that of the tool segment, and an inner diameter of the accommodation section is more than an outer diameter of the tool segment. The extension piece and the covering piece of the slidable sleeve have at least one flange extending to the neck section and limited between the first stop face and the second stop face. Hence, the at least one flange of the extension piece and the covering piece slides on the neck section between the first stop face and the second stop face.
1. A screwdriver tool comprising:
an operation rod including a tool segment, a neck section extending outwardly from a rear end of the tool segment, a first stop face defined on a front end of the neck section, and a second stop face formed on a rear end of the neck section; and
a magnetic attraction assembly including a slidable sleeve, wherein the slidable sleeve has an accommodation section defined in the slidable sleeve, a magnetic attracting loop accommodated in a front end of the slidable sleeve, an extension piece extending outwardly from a rear end of the slidable sleeve and having an opening, a covering piece covering the extension piece to close the opening of the extension piece, and a one-piece flexible connection piece formed on a first side edge of the extension piece and a first side edge of the covering piece;
wherein a diameter of the neck section is less than that of the tool segment;
wherein an inner diameter of the accommodation section is more than an outer diameter of the tool segment of the operation rod so that the tool segment of the operation rod inserts into the accommodation section of the slidable sleeve;
wherein the extension piece and the covering piece of the slidable sleeve have at least one flange extending to the neck section of the operation rod and limited between the first stop face and the second stop face of the neck section of the operation rod; and
wherein the at least one flange of the extension piece and the covering piece slide on the neck section between the first stop face and the second stop face of the operation rod.
2. The screwdriver tool as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the operation rod further includes a fitting section extending outwardly from a rear end thereof, and wherein the fitting section is in a hexagonal column shape.
3. The screwdriver tool as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the slidable sleeve of the magnetic attraction assembly is made of plastic material.
4. The screwdriver tool as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the slidable sleeve of the magnetic attraction assembly further has a housing groove formed in the front end thereof to accommodate the magnetic attracting loop.
5. The screwdriver tool as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each of the extension piece and the covering piece is in a semicircular ring shape.
6. The screwdriver tool as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the extension piece has a first retainer arranged on a second side edge thereof, and wherein the covering piece has a second retainer formed on a second side edge thereof and configured to retain with the first retainer of the extension piece.
7. The screwdriver tool as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the extension piece has at least one first flange arranged on an inner wall thereof, and wherein the covering piece has a second flange arranged on an inner wall thereof and corresponding to the at least one first flange.
8. The screwdriver tool as claimed in claim 7 , wherein an inner diameter defined by the at least one first flange of the extension piece and the second flange of the covering piece is less than the outer diameter of the tool segment of the operation rod, and wherein the at least one first flange and the second flange extend to the neck section of the operation rod.
