Abstract

The invention is a hand tool with an operating head, which comprises: a main body having two parallel ears spaced apart at a front end; and a working head having a body; a column connected to one side of the body; another side of the body is provided with a pivotal block and two flaps to pivotally connect the two ears of the main body between the pivotal block and the two flaps respectively. The two flaps are capable of assisting in supporting outer sides of the two ears to relatively strengthen a structure of the ear, thereby enhancing a torsion exerted by the column on a workpiece, and enhancing durability and strength of the column.

Claims (14)

1. A hand tool with an operating head comprising:

a main body having two ears, the two ears being disposed in parallel and spaced apart; and

a working head having a body; a column connected to one side of the body; and a pivotal block extending outward from another side of the body, the body being provided with two flaps by two sides of the pivotal block, the two flaps being parallel to the pivotal block, a gap being provided between each of the two flaps and the pivotal block, and the two ears of the main body being pivotally disposed in the gaps between the two flaps and the pivotal block respectively;

wherein each ear of the two ears is located directly between and adjacent to the pivotal block and a corresponding flap of the two flaps;

wherein the two ears, the pivotal block and the two flaps are stacked together and present a five-layer staggered structure defined by a first flap of the two flaps, a first ear of the two ears, the pivotal block, a second ear of the two ears, and a second flap of the two flaps located directly adjacent to one another, respectively, and pivotally connected together;

wherein an outer diameter of the body is greater than an outer diameter of the pivotal block; and

wherein reinforcement blocks are provided at junctions of the pivotal block and the body, an outer diameter formed by the reinforcement blocks is greater than that of the pivotal block.

2. The hand tool as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the column of the working head is a polygonal column body, and a thickened portion is disposed at a junction between at least one intersection angle of the column and the body.

3. The hand tool as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the two ears of the main body are respectively provided with coaxial connecting holes therethrough; the pivotal block is provided with a through hole therethrough, the two flaps are respectively provided with a perforation therethrough, the through hole and the perforations are arranged coaxially; and a pin is pivotally disposed between the connecting holes, the through hole and the perforations.

4. The hand tool as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the two ears of the main body are respectively provided with coaxial connecting holes therethrough; the pivotal block is provided with a through hole therethrough, and a pin is pivotally disposed in the overlapping connecting holes and through hole.

5. The hand tool as claimed in claim 4 , wherein at least one of the flaps is provided with a perforation for the pin to insert to reach inside the connecting holes of the two ears and the through hole of the pivotal block.

6. The hand tool as claimed in claim 1 , wherein an outer diameter of the column of the working head is smaller than an outer diameter of the body.

7. The hand tool as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the body is cylindrical.

8. The hand tool as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the main body is integrally formed with a shaft at rear ends of the two ears.
