AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a tool with an effective method for marking it. The method involves making a tool, hardening it, trimming it, putting a protection layer on it, printing it with a mark, and adding a transparent paint layer on both the protection layer and the mark. This results in a tool with a clear and durable marking that is visible and can be easily identified.

Problems solved by technology

Such printing machines are however expensive.
Moreover, the printed marks are unclear for inadequate contrast to the background.
The plastic collars could easily be blurred, damaged or detached from the tools so that the tools would be poorly marked or not marked at all.
Such pressing machines are however expensive.
This problem will be even worse when the indented marks are filled with dirt and grease after some time of use.
The manganese phosphate however makes the tool look black and blur the indented mark.

first embodiment

[0031]Referring to FIGS. 1 and 3, the surface treatment involves anodizing according to the present invention. Hence, the protection layer is a layer of anodizing 20 that glistens in light.

second embodiment

[0032]Referring to FIGS. 1 and 4, the surface treatment involves black dying or manganese phosphate according to the present invention. Hence, the protection layer is a layer of black dying 20A.

[0033]At S15, the tool 10 is subject to printing so that a mark 30 is provided the protection layer.

[0034]Referring to FIGS. 1 and 5, the mark 30 is provided on the layer of anodizing 20 according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

[0035]Referring to FIGS. 1 and 6, the mark 30 is provided on the layer of black dying 20A according to the second embodiment of the present invention.

[0036]The mark 30 may include at least one letter, numeral, character or pattern. The mark 30 is in a color that is in strong contrast to the layer of anodizing 20 or black dying 20A. Therefore, the mark 30 looks clear amid the layer of anodizing 20 or black dying 20A.

[0037]At S16, the tool 10 is subject to painting to provide a transparent paint layer 40 on the mark 30 and the layer of anodizing 20 or b...

Abstract

There is disclosed a method for marking a tool. The method includes the steps of forming a tool, hardening the tool, trimming the tool, providing the tool with a protection layer, printing the tool with a mark, and providing a transparent paint layer on both of the protection layer and the mark.

Description

BACKGROUND OF INVENTION[0001]1. Field of Invention[0002]The present invention relates to a tool and, more particularly, to a method for marking a tool so that the tool bears a clear, durable and aesthetic mark.[0003]2. Related Prior Art[0004]People drive threaded bolts and nuts of various shapes and sizes with tools such as open-ended wrenches, box-ended wrenches, monkey wrenches, socket wrenches or screwdrivers. A toolkit may include a handle and a set of sockets and / or screwdriver bits of various shapes and sizes. In operation, the handle is connected to a selected one of the sockets and / or screwdriver bits for driving a threaded bolt or nut of a certain shape and size. Thus, a toolkit can be used to drive threaded bolts and nuts of various shapes and sizes.[0005]It is important to mark the tools to indicate their sizes and / or carry trademarks, logos and / or patterns. Conventionally, printing machines are used to print the tools with marks. Such printing machines are however expens...
