Method Of Forming Tool With Dual-Material Handle

US Patent:

6368536, Apr 9, 2002

Filed:

Mar 30, 2000

Appl. No.:

09/539299

Inventors:

Joseph R. Hoepfl - Greenfield WI
Christopher D. Thompson - Milwaukee WI

Assignee:

Snap-on Technologies, Inc. - Lincolnshire IL

International Classification:

B29C 4514

US Classification:

264250, 264255, 264274, 264267

Abstract:

A driving tool, such as a screwdriver, has a handle with an injection-molded, relatively hard and rigid inner body, molded around a tool shank, the inner body having an elongated central portion with two end flanges extending laterally outwardly of the central portion around the entire periphery thereof, with the central portion having a peripheral groove formed therein adjacent to an end flange. An outer gripping body of a relatively soft and resilient material is injection molded around the inner body, by supporting the inner body by its ends in a mold cavity and injecting the mold charge adjacent to the groove so that it first fills the groove and then flows in a circumferential front longitudinally to the other end flange, surrounding said central portion of said inner body.

Method And Apparatus For Attaching And Detaching An Attachable Device

US Patent:

6920810, Jul 26, 2005

Filed:

Oct 21, 2003

Appl. No.:

10/691226

Inventors:

Christopher D. Thompson - Milwaukee WI, US
Charles H. Heiligenthal - Kenosha WI, US
Michael L. Foster - Kenosha WI, US

Assignee:

Snap-on Incorporated - Pleasant Prairie WI

International Classification:

B25B023/16

US Classification:

8117785, 811772, 81438, 279 38

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for coupling an attachable tool to a handle comprising a coupler device fixedly attached to the handle and having a locking structure moveable between locking and release conditions and being carried by a coupler body having an inner wall defining a cavity that is accessible via a cavity dimensioned and shaped to receive the attachable tool and having a first locking member for cooperative abutting engagement with the attachable tool to temporarily move the locking structure to its release condition when the attachment shaft is inserted into the cavity and a second locking member for cooperative engagement with the locking structure when the attachment shaft is inserted substantially into the cavity and the locking structure is moved to the locking position to inhibit removal of the attachment shaft from the cavity.

Ratcheting Screwdriver

US Patent:

5437212, Aug 1, 1995

Filed:

Dec 2, 1993

Appl. No.:

8/160151

Inventors:

Christopher D. Thompson - Milwaukee WI
Joseph R. Hoepfl - Greenfield WI

Assignee:

Snap-on Incorporated - Kenosha WI

International Classification:

B25B 1346

US Classification:

81 631

Abstract:

A ratcheting driver handle has a ratchet body press-fitted axially in one end thereof, the body defining a socket which receives a gear for rotation coaxially with the handle. The socket also receives two pawls respectively disposed above and at opposite sides of the axis and spring-biased into engagement with the gear. A selector cap rotates on the housing and carries a first pin for driving the pawls respectively out of engagement with the gear, depending upon the direction of rotation, to control the ratchet direction. A second pin on the cap engages an over-center leaf spring mounted in the socket below the gear for resiliently retaining the mechanism in either of the forward or reverse conditions. A driver bit has a flattened end which is received through an axial bore in the cap and into a complementarily shaped bore through the gear for rotation therewith, being frictionally retained in place by a retaining ring.
