Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a jig for a rotary tool used by inserting it between a rotary tool used for tightening bolts having a head formed on a screw shaft, such as bolts and tapping screws, and the bolts.

Background Art

[0002] In order to rotate bolts having a polygonal (usually hexagonal) head formed on a screw shaft, such as bolts and tapping screws, a jig provided with a bolt insertion portion, which is a concave portion conforming to the shape of the head, is inserted into and tightened in a chuck of a rotary tool such as an impact wrench, the head of the bolt is inserted into the bolt insertion portion, and the bolt or tapping screw is driven in with the rotary tool. Generally, for bolts and nuts, in accordance with bolts having different diameters of the head (nut), jigs of various diameters are prepared and attached to and detached from the chuck of the rotary tool, so there was a first problem that the work became complicated.

[0003] Also, when attaching a staircase or the like to a wall or the like with a tapping screw, after construction, the exposed head of the tapping screw may be painted by various methods according to the interior finish of the wall. In this case, the work of painting each one by one is complicated, and there was also a case of using a pre-painted tapping screw. In this case, generally, the jig requires strength and hardness and is made of steel, so there was a second problem that the painting of the tapping screw was damaged by the jig.

[0004] In order to address the first problem, a proposal has been made to provide a step on the jig and make the bottom side have a smaller diameter (Patent Documents 1 and 2). Also, in order to address the second problem, a proposal has been made to use a jig provided with a screwing portion made of an elastic body (Patent Document 1).

Patent Document 1

[0006] The aforementioned step was necessary to reduce the diameter of the bottom side to accommodate smaller bolt diameters, which increased the axial length of the jig and resulted in a lack of stability when mounted on a rotary tool. Furthermore, when a jig with a screw-in section made of an elastic material was used, the parts other than the elastic material were made of steel, so the heads of the bolts would come into contact with the non-elastic parts, and it was not possible to prevent damage to the bolt heads. Conversely, if the work was done slowly and carefully to avoid the bolt heads coming into contact with the non-elastic parts, there was a problem of reduced work efficiency. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The present invention solves the aforementioned problems by comprising a first steel member that can be attached to a rotary tool and a second flat, hard resin member having a bolt insertion portion, and by configuring the tip surface of the second member to protrude beyond the tip surface of the first member.

[0008] In other words, this invention is a jig for a rotary tool that rotates the heads of bolts, and is characterized by having a mounting shaft on one side for attachment to the rotary tool, and a bolt insertion part on the other side into which the heads of the bolts can be inserted, and is configured as follows. (1) The jig comprises a first steel member having the mounting shaft and a second member made of a hard resin material which is flat and has bolt insertion parts. (2) The first member has a mounting shaft fixed to one side of a flat plate-shaped body, and a rotating recess on the other side of the plate-shaped body into which the polygonal outer peripheral locking portion of the second member is fitted. (3) The system is constructed by combining one of the first members and a plurality of second members, each having the same outer peripheral locking portion but with bolt insertion portions of different diameters. (4) The first member and the second member are configured such that when the second member is fitted into the first member, the tip surface of the second member protrudes from the tip surface of the first member.

[0009] Furthermore, the first member is a jig for a rotary tool characterized in that the plate body has an outlet hole formed around the mounting shaft on one side where the mounting shaft is fixed, extending from one side toward the rotating recess side.

[0010] Furthermore, if the depth from the opening edge to the bottom of the rotating recess of the first member is H1, and the thickness of the base of the second member is H2, H2>H1 This is a jig for rotary tools characterized by the following features.

[0011] Furthermore, this jig for rotary tools is characterized by the following configuration. (1) In the second member, an opening is formed in the base body from one side to the other to form a bolt insertion section. (2) A protective sheet was attached to the bottom of the rotating recess in the first component.

[0012] The bolt insertion portion described above is formed in a multi-sided shape to match the shape of the bolt head, but it is usually a regular hexagon or a regular square (square), and can be set to match the shape of the bolt head.

[0013] The bolts mentioned above are components with a polygonal head on a screw shaft, and include bolts, tapping screws, and nuts that do not have a screw shaft.

[0014] Furthermore, the term "flat plate shape" in the above-mentioned context refers to a flat plate shape in appearance, and includes cases where a flat plate material is hollowed out to form a rotating recess, or where a thin plate strip is bent to form a flat plate shape. [Effects of the Invention]

[0015] This invention is composed of a first steel member that can be attached to a rotary tool and a plurality of second flat resin members each having a bolt insertion portion. By replacing the second member, bolts with different preliminary diameters can be easily driven in. Furthermore, since the second member is made of resin, the paint on pre-painted bolts will not be damaged. In addition, with the second member inserted into the first member, the tip surface of the second member is configured to protrude from the tip surface of the first member. Thus, even without visual inspection, the heads of bolts can be easily inserted into the second member. Especially in the case of painted bolts, the bolts can be inserted into the second member without touching the first member, so the paint will not be damaged.

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0017] The jig 30 for the rotary tool 33 of this invention is composed of a first member 1 and a second member 21 attached to the first member 1 in both the first embodiment and the second embodiment (FIG. 1).

[0018] 1. First Embodiment (FIGS. 1 to 4)

[0019] (A) First Member 1 (FIGS. 1, 2)

[0020] (1) The base end of the mounting shaft 11 that can be fixed to the chuck of the rotary tool 33 is vertically fixed to one surface 4a of the flat disk body 3 that is a regular hexagon in plan view, thereby constituting the first member 1. A rotary recess 5 that is a regular hexagon in plan view is formed at a depth H01 from the other surface 4b of the flat disk body 1. The regular hexagon of the rotary recess 5 has a diagonal length La1, and the bottom surface 6 of the flat disk body 3 including the regular hexagon on the outer periphery of the flat disk body 3 and the outer shape regular hexagon of the rotary recess 5 is rotationally symmetric around the center of the flat disk body 3 and formed symmetrically with respect to the diagonal (FIG. 1). Therefore, the outer peripheral surface 3a of the flat disk body 3 and the inner side surface 7 of the rotary recess 5 are formed with the same thickness throughout the circumference. Furthermore, the flat plate 3 can also be constructed by fixing a strip-shaped plate to a hexagonal frame-like structure (with the outer circumference being the outer surface 3a) on a hexagonal flat plate (one side being 4a and the other side being the base surface 6), with the inside of the frame-like structure forming a rotating recess 5. Alternatively, the rotating recess 5 may be formed by hollowing out a regular hexagonal flat plate 3, and the manufacturing method is arbitrary.

[0021] (2) In addition, screw holes 8 are formed between the outer surface 3a of the flat plate 3 and the rotating recess 5, perpendicular to the bottom surface 6 of the rotating recess 5 (in the horizontal direction) (Figures 2(b) to (e)). Three screw holes 8 are formed, one at a time, near each side of the hexagon. The screw holes 8 are used for screws that hold the first member 1 and the second member 21 (not shown), so they are formed evenly in the rotational direction (around the center). For example, two are formed at an angle of 180 degrees, and six are formed corresponding to all sides of the hexagon. Furthermore, small openings 10, 10 are formed between the bottom surface 6 of the rotating recess 5 of the flat plate 3 and one surface 4a of the flat plate 3, near the midpoint of each side of the hexagon (Figure 2(a)(f)). The small openings 10, 10 are used when removing the second member 21 from the first member 1 by inserting a rod-shaped object into the small openings 10, 10. Currently, they are formed in positions corresponding to all sides of the hexagon, but it is sufficient to form at least two in positions of rotational symmetry (at an angle of 180 degrees).

[0022] (3) A protective sheet 9 made of a material that will not damage the paint on the bolts, such as resin, is attached to the bottom surface 6 of the rotating recess 5 of the small plate body 3, near the center (surrounding the planar position of the mounting shaft 11). This is because the bottom surface 6 of the rotating recess 5 is made of steel, and the bolts are not to come into direct contact with the bottom surface 6 of the rotating recess 5.

[0023] (B) Second member 21 (Figures 1, 3, and 4)

[0024] (1) A regular hexagonal base 23 with diagonal length La2 and height Ha2 has a bolt insertion portion 25 formed by creating a bolt insertion portion 25 at the center, extending from one face 24a to the other face 24b, and at the center of the base 23. The second member 21 is formed by creating a bolt insertion portion 25 that can be fitted onto the heads of bolts 36 to transmit the rotation of the rotary tool 33 to the bolts. The material of the second component 21 is usually the same throughout, and the bolt insertion portion 25 is made of a material that is less hard than steel (to the extent that it does not damage the paint coating on the bolt head) and has the shape-retaining force to transmit the rotation of the rotary tool 33 to the bolt. Therefore, various resin materials with a certain degree of strength are used. One example is the use of polyacetal resin (POM resin).

[0025] (2) The hexagonal shape of the second member 21 is formed with a diagonal length La2, which corresponds to the diagonal length La1 of the rotational recess 5 of the first member 1, and the length La2 is formed to be slightly smaller than the length La1 so that the second member 21 fits into the rotational recess 5 (Figure 1(a)).

[0026] (3) Multiple second members 21 are prepared using the same base 23 but with different shapes for the bolt insertion portion 25. In this embodiment, four types are provided to match the standard bolt head diameter (nut diameter). (a) A bolt insertion portion 25 that matches the nominal diameter of a bolt M12, with a diagonal length of the bolt insertion portion 25 being L12 (Figure 1(a), Figure 3(1-a)~(1-c)), and the width of the remaining part of the base 23 being D12. (b) A bolt insertion portion 25 that matches the nominal diameter of the bolt, with a diagonal length of L10 of the bolt insertion portion 25 (Figure 3 (2-a) to (2-c)), and the width of the remaining part of the base 23 is D10. (c) A bolt insertion portion 25 that matches the nominal diameter of the bolt M8, with a diagonal length of the bolt insertion portion 25 being L08 (Figure 4 (3-a) to (3-c)), and the width of the remaining part of the base 23 being D08. (d) A bolt insertion portion 25 that matches the nominal bolt diameter M6, with a diagonal length of the bolt insertion portion 25 being L06 (Figure 4 (4-a) to (4-c)), and the width of the remaining part of the base 23 being D06.

[0027] (4) In the above, the larger the nominal diameter of the bolt, the larger the diagonal length, L06 <L08<L10<L12 Therefore, the width of the remaining portion is D12 <D10<D08<D6 This is the result.

[0028] (5) Although four types of the second component 21 were prepared (Figures 3 and 4), it is sufficient to prepare at least two depending on the site in which they will be used.

[0029] (C) Use of jig 30 (Figure 1)

[0030] (1) A second member 21 with a bolt insertion portion 25 having a diagonal length of L12 is adopted to match the nominal diameter of the bolt to be used, for example M12 (Figure 1(a)). The second member 21 is then inserted into the rotating recess 5 of the first member 1, and screws are driven in through the screw holes 8, 8 (not shown) to secure the second member 21 to the extent that it does not come off the first member 1 (Figure 1(b)). In this state, the jig 30 is formed.

[0031] (2) Attach the mounting shaft 11 of the jig 30 to the chuck of the rotary tool (impact driver, etc.) 33, and insert the head 35 of the M12 tapping screw 35 into the bolt insertion part 25. After that, rotate the rotary tool 33 to drive in the tapping screw 35 in the same way as when using the jig 30 in normal operation. In this case, if the spare diameter is M12 The depth H01 of the rotating recess 5 of the first member 1 is 6 mm. ...The height of the bolt insertion part 25 of the second member 21 Ha2 = 10 mm As a result, the rotating recess 5 and the bolt insertion portion 25 overlap, allowing for the construction of an extremely thin jig 30 compared to conventional designs (Figure 1(b)). Therefore, there is no wobble in the rotation of the rotary tool 33, enabling reliable work.

[0032] (3) In addition, even if the tapping screw 35 is painted, the hexagonal surface of the head 36 is covered by the second member 21 and the end face is in contact with the protective sheet 9, so there is no risk of the paint on the tapping screw 35 being damaged or peeled off by the jig 30. Furthermore, the depth H01 of the rotating recess 5 of the first member 1 and the thickness Ha2 of the base material of the second member 21 are H01 <Ha2 Because it is formed in such a way that the other side 24b of the second member 1 always protrudes beyond the other side 4b of the first member (Figure 1(b)), the head 36 of the tapping screw 35 does not come into contact with the first member 1 during operation. Therefore, it is not necessary to visually confirm the position of the second member 21 (the position of the bolt insertion part 35) during operation, and the head 36 of the tapping screw 35 can be inserted into the bolt insertion part 35. Thus, damage to the paint of the tapping screw 35 can be prevented more reliably.

[0033] (4) When using bolts of different nominal diameters, the screws driven into the screw holes 8 can be loosened and the second member 21 can be easily removed from the rotating recess 5 by pressing a rod-shaped object through the removal holes 10, 10 (usually using the two diagonally opposite mounting holes 10, 10 simultaneously) (not shown). The first member 1 remains attached to the rotary tool 33. Next, a second member 21 such as M10, M08, or M06 is taken out according to the nominal diameter of the bolt to be used, and the second member 21 is fixed to the rotating recess 5 of the first member 1 in the same manner as described above (not shown). Thus, attaching and detaching the second member 21 (changing to a different nominal diameter) is also easy.

[0034] 2. Second Embodiment (Figures 5-8)

[0035] The first embodiment assumes bolts and nuts with ordinary heads, while the second embodiment assumes bolts and nuts with taller heads. Therefore, • Depth of the rotating recess 5 H01 <H02 • Thickness Ha2 of the base of the second member 21 <Hb2 Although the configuration is different from the previous version, the other components are the same.

[0036] (A) First member 1 (Figures 5 and 6)

[0037] (1) A mounting shaft 11 is fixed to one face 4a of a flat plate 3 which is a regular hexagon in plan view, and a regular hexagonal rotation recess 5 is formed on the other face to constitute the first member 1 (Figures 5(a), 6). The rotation recess 5 is a regular hexagon in plan view, formed from the other face 4b of the flat plate 1 to a depth H02. The diagonal length of the regular hexagon of the rotation recess 5 is Lb1.

[0038] (2) Similarly, screw holes 8, protective sheet 8, and removal holes 10 are formed.

[0039] (B) Second member 21 (Figures 1, 3, and 4)

[0040] (1) A regular hexagonal base 23 with diagonal length Lb2 and height Hb2 has a bolt insertion portion 25 formed by creating a bolt insertion portion 25 at the center, extending from one face 24a to the other face 24b, and at the center of the base 23 (Figures 6(a), 7, and 8).

[0041] (2) The hexagonal shape of the second member 21 is formed by the length of the diagonal Lb2, which corresponds to the diagonal length Lb1 of the rotation recess 5 of the first member 1, and the length La2 is formed to be slightly smaller than the length La1 so that the second member 21 fits into the rotation recess 5 (Figure 5(a)).

[0042] (3) Similar to the first embodiment, the second member 21 required four different types of bolt insertion portions 25 on the same base 23, as shown below, but any number is arbitrary as long as there are multiple members. (a) A bolt insertion portion 25 that matches the nominal diameter of a bolt M12, with a diagonal length of L12 of the bolt insertion portion 25 (Figure 5(a), Figure 7(1-a)~(1-c)), and the width of the remaining part of the base 23 is D12. (b) A bolt insertion portion 25 that matches the nominal diameter of the bolt, with a diagonal length of L10 of the bolt insertion portion 25 (Figure 7(2-a)~(2-c)), and the width of the remaining part of the base 23 is D10. (c) A bolt insertion portion 25 that matches the nominal diameter of the bolt M8, with a diagonal length of the bolt insertion portion 25 being L08 (Figure 8 (3-a) to (3-c)), and the width of the remaining part of the base 23 being D08. (d) A bolt insertion portion 25 that matches the nominal bolt diameter M6, with a diagonal length of the bolt insertion portion 25 being L06 (Figure 8 (4-a) to (4-c)), and the width of the remaining part of the base 23 being D06.

[0043] (C) Use of jig 30 (Figure 1)

[0044] (1) The same as in Embodiment 1 above. Specifically, to match the nominal diameter of the cap nut 41 to be used, for example M12, a second member 21 with a bolt insertion portion 25 having a diagonal length of L12 is adopted (Figure 5(a)). The second member 21 is then inserted into the rotating recess 5 of the first member 1, and screws are driven in through the screw holes 8, 8 (not shown) to secure the second member 21 to the extent that it does not come off the first member 1 (Figure 5(b)). In this state, the jig 30 is constructed.

[0045] (2) The mounting shaft 11 of the jig 30 is attached to the chuck of the rotary tool (impact driver, etc.) 33, washers 39a and 39b are attached to the bolt shaft 38, and the head 35 of the M12 cap nut 41 is fitted into the bolt fitting portion 25 (Figure 5(b)). The rest is the same as in the first embodiment. In this case, if the spare diameter is M12 The depth of the rotating recess 5 of the first component 1 is H02 = 15 mm. • Height Hb2 = 16 mm of the bolt insertion portion 25 of the second member 21 As a result, the rotating recess 5 and the bolt insertion portion 25 overlap, and similar to the first embodiment, an extremely thin jig 30 can be constructed compared to conventional designs (Figure 5(b)). Furthermore, it can achieve the same excellent effects as the first embodiment when compared to conventional jigs.

[0046] 3. Other Embodiments

[0047] (1) The second member 21 is usually efficiently manufactured by cutting out a large plate-shaped resin material with a thickness of Ha2 in the first embodiment and a thickness of Hb2 in the second embodiment using a laser or the like, but it is not limited to this, and the manufacturing method is arbitrary. If other manufacturing methods are used, it is not necessary to form the bolt insertion portion 25 through the base body 23, and a cover 27 can be formed to create a recess (Figure 1(c), Figure 5(c)). In this case, the depth of the recess is Ha2 (first embodiment) and Hb2 (second embodiment).

[0048] (2) In the above embodiment, the outer shape of the base 23 of the second member 21 (outer peripheral locking portion 23a) and the shape of the rotating recess 5 of the first member 1 are both regular hexagons. However, the shape is arbitrary as long as they rotate together when the second member 21 is fitted into the rotating recess 5 and rotated. However, considering the reliability of the mounting and the stability of the rotation, a regular hexagon, regular octagon, square, etc., are suitable.

[0049] (3) The shape of the bolt insertion portion 25 of the second member 21 can be appropriately selected according to the specifications of the bolts used (not shown in the figure). [Explanation of symbols]
