Abstract

A handle for a hand tool includes a body, a guider, and a movable assembly. The body has a chamber, a connecting portion, and an opening. The chamber is defined in the body. The connecting portion is defined in the body for assembling a tool bit. The opening is defined in the body and communicating with the chamber. The guider is inserted into the chamber. The guider has a spindle, a first positioner, a second positioner, and multiple guiding fins. The movable assembly includes a clamping seat movably received in the chamber and a puller mounted on the clamping seat. The clamping seat has a through hole, a shoulder, and multiple clamping units. The through hole is defined through the clamping seat for receiving the guider.

Claims (44)

1. A handle for a hand tool comprising:

a body having

a chamber defined in the body; and

an opening defined in one end of the body and communicating with the chamber;

a guider mounted in the body, inserted into the chamber and having

a spindle having a first end and a second end opposite to the first end;

a first positioner disposed adjacent to a first end of the spindle;

a second positioner disposed adjacent to a second end of the spindle; and

multiple guiding fins radially extending from the spindle and along an axis of the spindle; and

a movable assembly movably mounted in the body and having

a clamping seat received in the chamber and having

a through hole defined through the clamping seat for receiving the guider;

a shoulder extending from an inner periphery of the through hole; and

multiple clamping units radially extending from the clamping seat; and

a puller mounted on the clamping seat and having

an end cap exposed from the body;

a positioning shank extending from the end cap and inserted into the through hole in the clamping seat for receiving the spindle of the guider;

multiple guiding slots longitudinally defined in the positioning shank for receiving the guiding fins;

an outer buckling portion located on an outer side of the positioning shank and disposed on a free end of the positioning shank that is located opposite to the end cap for buckling the shoulder of the through hole; and

an inner buckling portion disposed on an inner side of the positioning shank for selectively buckling on one of the first positioner and the second positioner.

2. The handle for a hand tool as claimed in claim 1 , wherein

the guider has multiple tenons disposed on the second end of the spindle adjacent to the second positioner, and each tenon is located between adjacent two of the guiding fins; and

the puller has multiple grooves defined in the puller for guiding the tenons, and each groove has a mortise defined in an inner surface of the groove for buckling to a corresponding tenon.

3. The handle for a hand tool as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the guider has a locking sheet disposed on the first end of the guider and located adjacent to the first positioner.

4. The handle for a hand tool as claimed in claim 3 , wherein

the clamping seat has a protrusion longitudinally extending from the clamping seat; and

the puller has a positioning indention defined in the puller and located adjacent to the end cap for receiving the protrusion.

5. The handle for a hand tool as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the body has multiple skidproof portions disposed on an outer surface of the body.

6. The handle for a hand tool as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the body has multiple skidproof portions disposed on an outer surface of the body.

7. The handle for a hand tool as claimed in claim 2 , wherein

the clamping seat has a protrusion longitudinally extending from the clamping seat; and

the puller has a positioning indention defined in the puller and located adjacent to the end cap for receiving the protrusion.

8. The handle for a hand tool as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the body has multiple skidproof portions disposed on an outer surface of the body.

9. The handle for a hand tool as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the body has multiple skidproof portions disposed on an outer surface of the body.

10. The handle for a hand tool as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the guider has a locking sheet disposed on the first end of the guider and located adjacent to the first positioner.

11. The handle for a hand tool as claimed in claim 10 , wherein

the clamping seat has a protrusion longitudinally extending from the clamping seat; and

the puller has a positioning indention defined in the puller and located adjacent to the end cap for receiving the protrusion.

12. The handle for a hand tool as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the body has multiple skidproof portions disposed on an outer surface of the body.

13. The handle for a hand tool as claimed in claim 1 , wherein

the clamping seat has a protrusion longitudinally extending from the clamping seat; and

the puller has a positioning indention defined in the puller and located adjacent to the end cap for receiving the protrusion.

14. The handle for a hand tool as claimed in claim 13 , wherein the body has multiple skidproof portions disposed on an outer surface of the body.

15. The handle for a hand tool as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the body has multiple skidproof portions disposed on an outer surface of the body.
