Abstract

Various embodiments of a curved-tip screwdriver bit are presented. The bit may include a shank, a body connected with the shank, and a tip disposed at an end of the body. The tip may include curved blades that project from the end of the shaft. A first curved blade may have a first arc shaped cross section. A second curved blade may have a second arc shaped cross section. A radius of the second arc-shaped cross section may be greater than a radius of the first arc-shaped cross section of the first curved blade.

Claims (41)

1. A curved-tip screwdriver bit, comprising:

a shank;

a body connected with the shank; and

a tip disposed at an end of the body, wherein:

the tip comprises a plurality of curved blades that project from the end of the body and an extension that has a quarter-circle cross section;

a first curved blade of the plurality of curved blades has a first arc-shaped cross section;

a second curved blade of the plurality of curved blades has a second arc-shaped cross section;

and

a radius of the second arc-shaped cross section is greater than a radius of the first arc-shaped cross section of the first curved blade.

2. The curved-tip screwdriver bit of claim 1 , wherein a radius of the first arc-shaped cross section is greater than a radius of the quarter-circle cross section.

3. The curved-tip screwdriver bit of claim 2 , the radius of the quarter-circle cross section, the radius of the first arc-shaped cross section, and the radius of the second arc-shaped cross section share a common center.

4. The curved-tip screwdriver bit of claim 3 , wherein the first curved blade, the second curved blade, and the extension each protrude from the shank by a common distance.

5. The curved-tip screwdriver bit of claim 4 , wherein a distance between the first curved blade and the second curved blade matches the distance between the extension and the first curved blade.

6. The curved-tip screwdriver bit of claim 5 , wherein ends of the plurality of curved blades and the extension that are distal from the shank are each tapered.

7. The curved-tip screwdriver bit of claim 1 , wherein the first curved blade is longer than the second curved blade.

8. A curved-tip screwdriver, comprising:

a handle;

a body, having a first end attached to the handle and a second end; and

a tip disposed at the second end of the body, wherein:

the tip comprises a plurality of curved blades that project from the second end of the body;

a first curved blade of the plurality of curved blades has a first arc-shaped cross section;

a second curved blade of the plurality of curved blades has a second arc-shaped cross section;

the tip additionally comprises an extension that has a quarter-circle cross section; and

a radius of the second arc-shaped cross section is greater than a radius of the first arc-shaped cross section of the first curved blade.

9. The curved-tip screwdriver of claim 8 , wherein a radius of the first arc-shaped cross section is greater than a radius of the quarter-circle cross section.

10. The curved-tip screwdriver of claim 9 , the radius of the quarter-circle cross section, the radius of the first arc-shaped cross section, and the radius of the second arc-shaped cross section share a common center.

11. The curved-tip screwdriver of claim 10 , wherein the first curved blade, the second curved blade, and the extension each protrude from the body by a common distance.

12. The curved-tip screwdriver of claim 11 , wherein a distance between the first curved blade and the second curved blade matches the distance between the extension and the first curved blade.

13. The curved-tip screwdriver of claim 12 , wherein ends of the plurality of curved blades and the extension that are distal from the body are each tapered.

14. The curved-tip screwdriver of claim 8 , wherein the first curved blade is longer than the second curved blade and the extension.

15. A curved-tip screwdriver bit, comprising:

a body; and

a tip disposed at an end of the body, wherein:

the tip comprises a plurality of curved blades that project from the end of the body;

a first curved blade of the plurality of curved blades has a first arc-shaped cross section;

a second curved blade of the plurality of curved blades has a second arc-shaped cross section;

the tip additionally comprises an extension that has a quarter-circle cross section; and

a radius of the second arc-shaped cross section is greater than a radius of the first arc-shaped cross section of the first curved blade.

16. The curved-tip screwdriver bit of claim 15 , wherein ends of the plurality of curved blades and the extension are each tapered.

17. The curved-tip screwdriver bit of claim 16 , wherein the first curved blade is longer than the second curved blade.

18. The curved-tip screwdriver bit of claim 15 , wherein a radius of the first arc-shaped cross section is greater than a radius of the quarter-circle cross section.
