Abstract

An anti-slip fastener remover tool includes a torque-tool body and a plurality of paired engagement features. 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 plurality of paired engagement features, wherein each paired engagement feature is offset by 30 degrees, comprises a first engagement feature and a second engagement feature. The first engagement feature and the second engagement feature each comprises a bracing section and a cavity section that are adjacently connected to each other. The cavity section of the first engagement feature is adjacently connected to the cavity section of the second engagement feature. The bracing section of the first engagement feature and the bracing section of the second engagement feature are oppositely positioned of each other about the cavity sections of the first and second engagement features.

Claims (30)

1. An anti-slip fastener remover tool comprises:

a torque-tool body;

a plurality of paired engagement features;

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

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

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

the bracing section and the cavity section being adjacently connected to each other so as to form a sharp tooth in between the bracing section and the cavity section;

the sharp tooth being configured to engage, cut or bite a surface of a fastener head;

the cavity section of the first engagement feature being adjacently connected to the cavity section of the second engagement feature;

the cavity section of the first engagement feature and the cavity section of the second engagement feature being oriented towards the rotational axis;

the bracing section of the first engagement feature and the bracing section of the second engagement feature each being straight or flat; and

the bracing section of the first engagement feature and the bracing section of the second engagement feature being oppositely positioned of each other about the cavity section of the first engagement feature and the cavity section of the second engagement feature;

wherein a first geometric plane positioned parallel to the bracing section of the first engagement feature and a second geometric plane positioned parallel to the bracing section of the second engagement feature are not co-planer, such that the bracing section of the first engagement feature and the bracing section of the second engagement feature are not aligned with each other.

2. The anti-slip fastener remover tool as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a first angle between the first engagement feature is 30 degrees, and wherein a second angle between the second engagement feature is 30 degrees.

3. The anti-slip fastener remover tool as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a third angle between each of the plurality of paired engagement features ranges between 121-179 degrees.

4. The anti-slip fastener remover tool as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the third angle is 130 degrees.

5. The anti-slip fastener remover tool as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the third angle is 135 degrees.

6. The anti-slip fastener remover tool as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the third angle is 145 degrees.

7. The anti-slip fastener remover tool as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the third angle is 150 degrees.

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

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

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 1:1.5 to 3.5.

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 1:1.5 to 3.5.

11. 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.

12. The anti-slip 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.
