DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Referring first to FIGURES 1 and 2, a preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises a tool in the form of a driver which includes a tubular member 102 which is provided at one end with a plurality of fingers 104 extending therefrom. A handle or driving portion 106 is secured in one end of the tubular member 102 by a pin 108. A handle may be provided on the driver portion 106 simply by drilling a hole therethrough and placing a rod through the hole, if preferred.
A shoulder 110 is provided on the interior of the tubular member by having a larger and a smaller passageway therethrough. Shoulder 110 engages a retaining ring 112 on a slidably received guide pin member 114 which is mounted for reciprocable movement in the tubular member 102. The keeper ring 112 and the shoulder 110 serve to retain the guide pin in the tubular member, The guide pin member 114 is also provided with a shoulder 116 and a guide portion 118. A compression spring 120 is received around the guide portion 118 and abuts against the shoulder 116 and is received in an aperture 122 in drive member 106. The compression spring 120 serves to resiliently bias the guide pin to the position shown in FIGURES 1 and 2 wherein the end portion normally protrudes from the same end of the tubular member as the fingers 104 extend from. Thus the guide pin and the fingers cooperate as will be described in greater detail hereinafter.
The protruding end of the guide pin member 114 includes a frustoconical portion 124 and, extending from the smaller end thereof, a cylindrical portion 126.
As illustrated in FIGURES 3 and 4, the driver of FIG- URES 1 and 2 is intended for use with a fastener 300 of the type which includes a threaded shank portion 302, a head 304, the head being provided with an outer annular rim 306, an inner ring 308, a plurality of eccentric apertures 310, and a central aperture 312 which is provided with a tapered portion 314. In use, as illustrated in FIGURE 3, the tapered portion 314 receives the frustoconical portion 124 of driver 100. In a preferred embodiment the central aperture includes a threaded portion 316 and an unthreaded portion 318, the latter receiving the cylindrical portion 126 of the driver 100.
An alternative embodiment is illustrated in FIGURES 5 and 6. In this embodiment, the driver 200 comprises a tubular member 202 which is provided with a shoulder 204 between a larger and smaller passageway therethrough. Keeper ring 206 on guide pin member 208 pmvents removal of the guide pin from the tubular member 202. A cylindrical end portion 209 is provided on the guide member 208.
The knurled portion 216 of driver 200 and the knurled portion 128 on driver 100 may be used for hand setting of the fastener and the drive portions 218 on driver 200 and 130 on driver 100 may be used for being received in a chuck or the like for machine driving.
FIGURES 8 and 9 show an alternative embodiment of a fastener which may be used in areas where space is at a premium. The fastener 400, illustrated in FIGURE 9, includes a threaded shank, a head 404, the head 404 being provided with a central aperture 406 and a plurality of receiving notches 408 which are adapted to receive the fingers 214.
The manner of use of the fastener 300 and of the driver 100 will be illustrated with respect to FIGURES 10 through 13, the latter figure also illustrating the use of a cap 500. It will be understood, however, that by appropriate adjustment of sizes and shapes the same manner use would be applicable to the embodiment of FIGURES and 6.
As illustrated in FIGURE 10, the fastener 300 may be supported on the end of the driver 100 for insertion into a threaded passageway or aperture. In this position, the fingers do not engage the eccentric openings in the head and therefore the fastener is not being; driven. The tapered portion of the central aperture very materially assists in locating the fastener, especially in the dark or where direct vision is precluded.
As illustrated in FIGURE 11, once the fastener 300 has been received in a threaded passageway the driver 100 is pressed forwardly and the fingers on driver 100 engage in the eccentric openings in fastener 300 and the fastener may be rotatably driven.
As illustrated in FIGURE 12, the driver then is selfreleasing because of the biased relationship between the guide pin and the tubular member which comprise fastener 100.
As illustrated in FIGURE 13, it may be desirable to maintain the head of the fastener free from debris such as dirt, grease, and the like. This is accomplished through the use of a cover 500 which, as illustrated in FIGURES 14 and 15, comprises a cap portion 502, a threaded portion 504 which may be secured by an imbedded keeper portion 506 and a surrounding flange 508 for being received around the outer periphery of the head of the fastener. Since the cap may be easily threaded on by hand, no difficulty is faced in the removal of the cap. In addition, if desired, the entire cap and the threaded portion may be made of a plastic material such as nylon for preventing rust and assuring fingertip removal of the cap. Since the apertures in the head of the fastener are maintained in a clean condition the driver is easily received therein and the tightened fastener may be easily removed.
As illustrated, the driver of this invention is intended for use with power driven tools of the type which include a chuck. This is not, however, necessary since the driver may be used by hand or with any type of tool simply by obvious modifications in the shape of the driving portion or the addition of a handle of any desired configuration and construction.
It will be noted then that the driver can be utilized very effectively to reach fasteners in areas where the mechanic must work by touch. Even when the mechanic cannot actually reach the fastener with his hand he can easily find the proper location and position the driver in the fastener because the center guide pin naturally tends to slip into position in the center of the fastener and it is a simple matter to press the driver and locate the drive fingers in the eccentric apertures in the head of the fastener. Thus, the mechanic may work much more rapidly and with greater ease and certainty with the invention as hereinbefore disclosed than with the fasteners of the prior art.
It will be understood that While the invention has been directed to and discussed with reference to machine bolts of the usual design, the invention contemplates the use of the tool and the head construction for wood screws, metal screws, self threading, screws for plastics, etc. Any type of bolt or screw or equivalent device would fall within the contemplation of the present invention.
It will be understood that while the invention has been disclosed, and the disclosure has been abstracted and summarized with respect to the specific embodiments disclosed that the scope and spirit of the invention extend to such modifications as may be made in the light of the present teachings.
