DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The technical content and detailed description of the present disclosure are now described with the drawings as follows. The present disclosure is not limited thereof.


Please refer to FIG. 1 to FIG. 4. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a combined screwdriver of the present disclosure. FIG. 2 is a perspective exploded schematic diagram of the combined screwdriver of the present disclosure. FIG. 3 is a schematic plan view of the combined screwdriver of the present disclosure after being assembled. FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along line 4-4 in FIG. 3. The combined screwdriver 1 of the present disclosure includes a handle 10, a rod 20, a storage assembly 30, an abutting piece 40, and a cap 50. The rod 20 is inserted into the handle 10. The storage assembly 30 and the abutting piece 40 are combined on the rod 20. The cap 50 is connected to one end of the handle 10 to form the combined screwdriver 1. Some structures of the combined screwdriver 1 are described in more detail as follows.


The handle 10 includes a cavity 11, a working end 12, and a storage end 13. The working end 12 and the storage end 13 are located on opposite sides of the cavity 11.


The rod 20 is arranged in the cavity 11, one end of the rod 20 connects to the handle 10, and the other end of the rod 20 includes a positioning part 21.


The storage assembly 30 is housed in the cavity 11, the storage assembly 30 includes a storage seat 31 and a stopper seat 32 combined with one end of the storage seat 31. The stopper seat 32 and the storage seat 31 are jointly sleeve on the rod 20. The storage seat 31 includes a sleeve 311 and a plurality of elastic clips 312 connected to the sleeve 311, and the sleeve 311 is moved out of the cavity 11 relative to the rod 20.


In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the plurality of elastic clips 312 are arranged on two opposite sides of the sleeve 311 at intervals, and the plurality of elastic clips 312 are arranged in pairs on an outer edge surface of the sleeve 311 at intervals. The plurality of elastic clips 312 adjacent to each other are arranged in a V shape.


Specifically, the sleeve 311 of the storage seat 31 has a convex ring 310, and a concave groove 320 is formed on an inner surface of the stopper seat 32. The concave groove 320 and the convex ring 310 are buckled with each other so that the stopper seat 32 is combined with the sleeve 311. In addition, a flange 323 is formed at a front end of the stopper seat 32. The stopper seat 32 and the storage seat 31 are jointly sleeved on the rod 20 and accommodated in the cavity 11 of the handle 10, and the flange 323 abuts against the rod 20.


In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the stopper seat 32 includes a plurality of concentric ring pieces 321 with different diameters. The plurality of concentric ring pieces 321 are arranged in order of diameter and connected at bottom edges thereof to form a stepped outer edge 322. A stepped part 14 is correspondingly formed on one side of the handle 10 close to the working end 12. A shape of the stepped part 14 corresponds to the stepped outer edge 322 of the stopper seat 32 to accommodate the stopper seat 32.


Furthermore, the abutting piece 40 is fixed on the positioning part 21 of the rod 20, and the abutting piece 40 includes a plurality of elastic pieces 41, one end of the plurality of elastic pieces 41 elastically abuts against an inner surface of the sleeve 311. The cap 50 detachably combines on the storage end 31, and covers the cavity 11 of the handle 10.


In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the combined screwdriver 1 further includes a washer 60. An outer edge of the rod 20 includes a ring groove 22. The washer 60 is buckled on the ring groove 22 to reduce a gap between the rod 20 and the sleeve 311 so that the sleeve 311 may move out of the handle 10 along the rod 20 more smoothly.


In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the combined screwdriver 1 further includes a screw 70. The rod positioning part 21 is a screw hole provided on an end surface of the rod 20. The abutting piece 40 includes a bottom plate 42 connecting the plurality of elastic pieces 41, and the bottom plate 42 includes a through hole 420. Accordingly, the abutting piece 40 is combined with the positioning part 21 to be fixed on the rod 20 by the screw 70 passes through the through hole 420.


Accordingly, after the combined screwdriver 1 of the present disclosure is assembled as described above, the plurality of screwdriver heads 2 may be clamped between the plurality of elastic clips 312 of the storage seat 31 to be accommodated in the cavity 11 of the handle 10.


Please refer to FIG. 5, which is a schematic diagram when a storage seat of the present disclosure is moved out of a handle. When the screwdriver head 2 stored in the handle 10 is to be taken out. First, the cap 50 combined with the grip 10 is removed, and then a force is applied to the receiving seat 31, so that the storage seat 31 is smoothly moves out of the handle 10 along the rod 20.


It should be noted that when the storage seat 31 is moved out of the handle 10, the plurality of elastic pieces 41 of the abutting piece 40 will continue to elastically abut the inner surface of the sleeve 311, thereby preventing the sleeve 311 from moving, so as to prevent the sleeve 311 from shaking during the sleeve 311 is moved.


It is also worth noting that the stopper seat 32 combined with the sleeve 311 also moves with the storage seat 31. An outer edge of the stopper seat 32 abuts against an inner surface of the cavity 11 and provides a supporting force. In addition, the flange 323 of the stopper seat 32 and the plurality of elastic pieces 41 of the abutting piece 40 respectively press against the two ends of the rod 20, thereby increasing a stability during a movement of the sleeve 311. Therefore, when the storage seat 31 is moved out of the handle 10, there will be no violent shaking.


Please refer to FIG. 6 and FIG. 7. FIG. 6 is a perspective exploded schematic diagram of another embodiment of the combined screwdriver of the present disclosure. FIG. 7 is a combined cross-sectional view of an abutting piece of another embodiment of the combined screwdriver of the present disclosure. As shown in the figures, the combined screwdriver 1a includes a handle 10a, a rod 20a, a storage assembly 30a, an abutting piece 40a, a cap 50a, and a washer 60a. This embodiment is substantially the same as the previous embodiment, and the similarities are not repeated here. The difference between this embodiment and the previous embodiment is a fixing method of the abutting piece 40a.


The rod 20a has a positioning part 21a. In this embodiment, the positioning part 21a is a card slot, the abutting piece 40a includes a C-shaped buckle 42a connecting the plurality of elastic pieces. The abutting piece 40a is fixed on the rod 20a by the C-shaped buckle 42a passing through the positioning part 21a.


It is worth noting that an inner edge of the C-shaped buckle 42a includes a plurality of concave and convex pars 43a arranged at intervals. An arrangement of the plurality of concave and convex pars 43a may increase a clamping force of the C-shaped buckle 42a, so that the abutting piece 40a may be reliably fixed on the positioning part 21a.


Some technical contents are only some embodiments of the present disclosure, and is not used to limit the scope of the present disclosure. Any modification of the structure, the change of the proportional relationship, or the adjustment of the size should be within the scope of the technical contents disclosed by the present disclosure without affecting the effects and the achievable effects of the present disclosure.
