12 Claims. (6164-49) This invention relates to torque overload release devices, being particularly concerned th improvements in torque limiting wrenches of a type adapted for field and shop use in connection with tightening nuts, bolts and the like on machinery. In highly developed machinery such as aircraft and automotive engines, the correct tightness of' 'nuts and bolts is a prime requisite for strengthage in his portable tool kitf'theprovision of a.
the annexed detailed description in connection with the drawing, in which:
Fig. 1 is an end elevation, partly in section, and Fig. 2 is a side elevation, partly in section. The device comprises a driving member In consisting of a circular web I I having an annular ring l2 integral therewith,,the ring having a plurality of radial holes i3, equally circumferentially 40 spaced, and of equal'diameter. A driving collar [4 extends from the web I I, having opposed radial holes I5 for the insertion of a turning bar. The collar I4 may, if desired, be arranged as a stand: ard wrench socket. Embraced by the ring I2 is a disc l6 having a plurality of radial holes I! extending from the disc outer edge inwardly to an axial bore l8, the disc being rigidly mounted on a concentric hub 19 integral with a counterbored 50 an open annulus, the left end' thereof as shown, having a tapered conformation as at 2|, so as to receive an axially movable collar 22 having,a
tapered or conical end as at 23. The collar 22 is '5 preferably screw-threaded on the shaft 20 as at 24,
jSuitable lines and characters, as shown, may be scribed on the collar and disc members to serve as indicia for presetting the releasing torque for a range of nut or bolt sizes. 1 5 Within each hole I! is a compression spring 26 engaging balls 21 and 28 and urging the balls apart into respective engagement with the ring l2 and the collar 22. The balls 21,- when corresponding holes l3 and H are allned, seat on the 10 edges of the holes 43, which are of smaller diameter than the balls, preventing relative turning of the members Ill and I6 until the torque is sufllcie'nt to overcome the force of the springs 26, when the balls l3 move inwardly and permit relative rotation. Axial adjustment of the 'collar 22 presets the initial compression of the several springs 26,
simultaneously, for torque release adjustment.
The order of torque to which the device is adapted may be controlled by the rate of the springs used, and also by the diameter of the holes I3. It is contemplated that the balls 21! and 28 and the ring l2, inparticular, be of wear-resistant .material, such as case-hardened or nitrided steel.
' The shaft 20 is provided at its right hand end I witha squared driving element 29 having a ball detent- 30 adapted for use with standard wrench sockets or attachments. The web H is held in assembled relation on the shaft 20 by a bolt 3i, threaded into the solid shaft end and being locked 30 thereto by a pin 32. I
The device as above described is a distinct improvement over analogous devices of the prior art in several respects. One dominant feature is that the.locking balls 21 act at nearly the extreme outer diameterof the whole device, permitting of maximum torsional effect, due to the long moment arm aiforded by the maximum radius of the device, while holding the bulk ofthe device to minimum size. As a specific example of the compactness of which a device according to the invention is capable, one capable of maximum torque release of 450 inch pounds weighs only two and a half pounds-and is 3.8 inches in diameter and 2.4
inches long. 1 It will be noted-that the major components of the device may be fabricated "by simple turning and drilling operations from bar and fiat stock with a minimum of wastage. 1
While I have described my invention in detail in its present preferredembodiment, it will be obvious to those slgilled in the art, after understanding my invention, that various changes and modifications may be made therein without de parting from the spirit or scope thereof. I aim in -l. ll torque overload release device comprising a ring member having a plurality of circumferem tially spaced radial holes, a disc member rotatably fitted within said ring having a similar plurality of radial holes, said disc having an axial bore, an arbor'upon which said ring and disc are mounted, a conically formed collar slidable axially into said bore, a compression spring in each disc hole, a ball at each end of each said spring, the inner balls bearing on said collar and the outer balls bearing upon the inner surface of said ring and upon the edges of the holes of the ring, said collar, according to its axial position, adjustably positioning the inner balls for initially compressing said springs, and driving attachments rigid with respective members.
