Abstract

Claims (51)

1. A foreign object removing socket adaptor comprising:

a pusher;

an adaptor;

an external thread;

an internal thread;

a stop;

at least one retaining assembly;

the pusher comprising a drive head and a main shaft;

the adaptor comprising a tool body, a socket attachment body, and a main channel;

the retaining assembly comprising a cavity and a retaining body;

the pusher, the adaptor, the external thread, and the internal thread being concentrically positioned around a rotational axis;

the drive head and the main shaft being adjacently connected to each other;

the external thread being laterally connected around the main shaft;

the stop being connected to the main shaft, opposite of the drive head;

the tool body and the socket attachment body being adjacently connected to each other;

the main channel concentrically traversing through the tool body and the socket attachment body;

the internal thread being laterally connected within the main channel;

the main shaft being threadedly engaged with the main channel through the external thread and the internal thread;

the cavity laterally traversing into the main channel through the socket attachment body; and

the retaining body being engaged with the cavity.

2. The foreign object removing socket adaptor as claimed in claim 1 comprising:

the pusher further comprising a torque-applying opening;

the torque-applying opening laterally traversing through the drive head; and

the torque-applying opening being oriented perpendicular to the main shaft.

3. The foreign object removing socket adaptor as claimed in claim 1 comprising:

the main shaft comprising an elongated section, a recessed section, and a tip section;

the elongated section and the tip section being oppositely positioned of each other about the recessed section;

the elongated section, the recessed section, and the tip section being concentrically positioned along the rotational axis;

the elongated section terminally connected to the recessed section;

the tip section being terminally connected to the recessed section; and

the drive head being terminally connected to the elongated section, opposite of the recessed section.

4. The foreign object removing socket adaptor as claimed in claim 3 comprising:

the recessed section comprising a first tapered section, a flat section, and a second tapered section;

the first tapered section and the second tapered section being oppositely positioned of each other about the flat section;

the first tapered section being terminally connected to the elongated section and the flat section; and

the second tapered section being terminally connected to the tip section and the flat section.

5. The foreign object removing socket adaptor as claimed in claim 3 comprising:

the external thread being laterally connected around the elongated section;

the external thread being positioned in between the recessed section and the drive head; and

a height of the external thread being smaller than a height of the elongated section.

6. The foreign object removing socket adaptor as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the stop is radially connected around the tip section.

7. The foreign object removing socket adaptor as claimed in claim 1 comprising:

the main channel comprising a top channel section and a bottom channel section;

the top channel section traversing from a top base of the adaptor;

the top channel section traversing through the tool body;

the bottom channel section traversing from a bottom base of the adaptor;

the bottom channel section traversing through the socket attachment body;

the top channel section being intersected with the bottom channel section about the socket attachment body; and

the internal thread being extended along the top channel section.

8. The foreign object removing socket adaptor as claimed in claim 7 , wherein an outer diameter of the stop is larger than a diameter of the bottom channel section.

9. The foreign object removing socket adaptor as claimed in claim 7 , wherein a diameter of the top channel section is larger than a diameter of the bottom channel section.
