[Diagram 5] FIG. 2 is a partial cross-sectional view of the swivel wrench according to the embodiment of FIG. 1. [Figure 6] FIG. 13 is an exploded view of a swiveling wrench in accordance with another embodiment of the present disclosure. [Figure 7] FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view of the oscillating wrench according to the embodiment of FIG. 6. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS EXAMPLES
[0017] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3. Figure 1 is a three-dimensional view of a swivel wrench 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, Figure 2 is an exploded view of the swivel wrench 100 according to the embodiment of Figure 1, and Figure 3 is another exploded view of the swivel wrench 100 according to the embodiment of Figure 1. As can be seen from Figures 1 to 3, the swivel wrench 100 includes a driving head 110, a handle 120, a positioning shaft 130 and a pressing member 140, of which the driving head 110 has a first convex structure 111, the handle 120 has two second convex structures 121, the first convex structure 111 is installed between the second convex structures 121, the pressing member 140 and the positioning shaft 130 are engaged with each other, and the positioning shaft 130 and the pressing member 140 are inserted into the first convex structure 111 and the second convex structure 121.
[0018] When the pressing member 140 is pressed, the included angle between the driving head 110 and the handle 120 can be adjusted, and the set tilt angle between the driving head 110 and the handle 120 can be fixed by the engagement between the positioning shaft 130 and the pressing member 140.
[0019] As can be seen from Figures 2 and 3, the inner surface of the first convex structure 111 has a smooth portion 112 and a toothed portion 113, and the second convex structure 121 can have a smooth inner surface 122 and a toothed inner surface 123, respectively, of which the smooth inner surface 122 corresponds to the smooth portion 112, and the toothed inner surface 123 corresponds to the toothed portion 113.
[0020] Please refer to Fig. 4, which is a cross-sectional view of the oscillating wrench 100 according to the embodiment of Fig. 1, where Fig. 4 shows the oscillating wrench 100 when the pressing member 140 is pressed to perform adjustment. As can be seen from Fig. 4, the positioning shaft 130 can have a toothed end 131 and a smooth end 132, of which the toothed end 131 meshes with the toothed inner surface 123 of the second convex structure 121. Thus, when the pressing member 140 is pressed, the toothed end 131 of the positioning shaft 130 can mesh with the toothed inner surface 123 of the second convex structure 121, thereby adjusting the included angle between the driving head 110 and the handle 120. Furthermore, when the pressing member 140 is not pressed, the toothed end 131 of the positioning shaft 130 can mesh with the toothed portion 113 of the first convex structure 111, and can also mesh with the toothed inner surface 123 of the second convex structure 121, thereby fixing the tilt angle between the drive head 110 and the handle 120 that has been set.
[0021] 2 to 4, the pressing member 140 can have a first engaging end 141, and the positioning shaft 130 can have a second engaging end 133, in which the first engaging end 141 and the second engaging end 133 are engaged with each other, and the first engaging end 141 can have a protruding structure, and the surface of the protruding structure is threaded, that is, the first engaging end 141 and the second engaging end 133 can be engaged in a screw-type manner. This allows the positioning shaft 130 to be tightly coupled with the pressing member 140.
[0022] The oscillating wrench 100 may further include an elastic member 150, which is disposed on the smooth end 132 of the positioning shaft 130, so as to realize the return of the pressing member 140 after it is pressed. Furthermore, the elastic member 150 may be, but is not limited to, a spring.
[0023] 2-4, the smooth portion 112 may have a threaded portion 114, in which the threaded portion 114 is located at one end of the smooth portion 112 and the toothed portion 113 is located at the other end of the smooth portion 112. By providing the threaded portion 114, a connecting member (not shown) may be further provided on the threaded portion 114, thereby adjusting the connection strength between the pressing member 140 and the driving head 110.
[0024] 2, the toothed end 131 of the positioning shaft 130 has a toothed structure 131a, which is disposed at one end following the smooth end 132 of the toothed end 131. In this way, the toothed structure 131a can enhance the effect of toothing between the toothed portion 113 and the toothed inner surface 123.
[0025] As can be seen from FIG. 4, the pressing member 140 can have a toothed outer surface 142 and a smooth outer surface 143, of which the length of the toothed outer surface 142 is Ltp, and the total length of the pressing member 140 placed on one of the second convex structures 121 is Lto, which are JPEG2025028027000004.jpg850 can be satisfied, thereby making it possible to adjust the connection strength between the pressing member 140 and the handle 120 during the pressing process.
[0026] Furthermore, the tooth-like outer surface 142 of the pressing member 140 contacts an entity of the smooth inner surface 122 of one of the second convex structures 121, thereby enhancing the connection strength between the pressing member 140 and the second convex structure 121 when adjusting the included angle between the driving head 110 and the handle 120, and preventing it from loosening and falling off during the process of angle adjustment.
[0027] Please refer to Fig. 5, which is a partial cross-sectional view of the pivot wrench 100 according to the embodiment of Fig. 1. As can be seen from Fig. 5, the length of the toothed portion 113 is L1, and the sum of the lengths of the smooth portion 112 and the toothed portion 113 is L2, which are: JPEG2025028027000005.jpg822, thereby adjusting the connection strength between the positioning shaft 130 and the driving head 110, that is, adjusting the meshing range between the toothed end 131 of the positioning shaft 130 and the toothed portion 113 of the first convex structure 111.
