1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a screw bit holder.
2. Description of the Prior Art
A conventional screw driving tool comprises a handle and a bit. The handle and the bit are one-piece and cannot be replaced with other bits. An improved screw driving tool comprises a handle and a plurality of screw bits. However, most of the screw bits are in one type and not adapted for different demands. Besides, they are separate. When not in use, it is easy to lose the screw bits.
The primary object of the present invention is to provide a screw bit holder to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art.
According to a first aspect of the present invention, the screw bit holder comprises a handle. The handle has a chamber at an upper part thereof. The handle comprises a first fixing rod fixed at a lower end thereof for mounting a screw bit. A fixing shaft is provided in the chamber of the handle for fixing a plurality of screw bits. The fixing shaft comprises a second fixing rod at one end thereof. The second fixing rod is adapted to fix the screw bit for timepiece. The screw bit holder further comprises a fixing disc. The fixing disc has a central through hole. The fixing disc is fitted on the outside of the fixing shaft through the through hole. The fixing disc has a plurality of fixing troughs around an outer side thereof. The screw bits are secured through the fixing troughs.
Preferably, the outside of the fixing shaft has a plurality of guide grooves, the fixing disc having a plurality of resilient members thereon. The resilient members protrude out of the through hole. The resilient members are buckled on the guide grooves.
Preferably, the fixing disc has a partition to divide each of the fixing troughs into two parts. The resilient members are disposed on upper and lower ends of the fixing disc. One end of each resilient member is fixed to the partition, and the other end of each resilient member protrudes out of the through hole.
Preferably, an upper end of the handle is movably connected with a base located at an upper end of the chamber to seal the chamber. A lower end surface of the base has a plurality of fixing troughs to accommodate the screw bits.
Preferably, the base comprises a plurality of engaging members thereon. An upper end of the wall of the chamber is provided with a plurality of protrusions to mate with the engaging members. The engaging members are buckled on the protrusions so that the base is buckled on the wall of the chamber. The base further comprises a plurality of press boards at outer sides of the engaging members. When the press boards are pressed, the press boards are deformable to press the engaging members to disengage from the protrusions. The handle has a notch corresponding in position to the press boards.
Preferably, the handle comprises a plurality of anti-skid protrusions and anti-skid grooves on an outer wall thereof.
According to a second aspect of the present invention, the screw bit holder comprises a handle. The handle has a chamber. The handle comprises a first fixing rod fixed at one end thereof for mounting a screw bit. A ratchet is connected between the handle and the first fixing rod. A fixing shaft is provided in the chamber of the handle for fixing a plurality of screw bits. One end of the fixing shaft is connected with a second fixing rod through the ratchet for mounting a screw bit for timepiece.
According to a third aspect of the present invention, the screw bit holder comprises a handle. The handle has a chamber. The handle comprises a first fixing rod fixed at one end thereof for mounting a screw bit. A fixing shaft is provided in the chamber of the handle for fixing a plurality of screw bits. One end of the fixing shaft is connected with a second fixing rod through a ratchet for mounting a screw bit for timepiece.

According to the screw bit holder of the present invention, the plurality of screw bits can be accommodated and stored in the handle to prevent them from losing. The handle comprises a second handle for fixing timepiece screws to satisfy the user for different demands.
Embodiments of the present invention will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The outside of the fixing shaft 7 has a plurality of guide grooves 8, as shown in
As shown in
In this embodiment, the engaging member 10 is an L-shaped engaging member. The base 5 is fixed to the handle 1. The engaging members 10 are secured on the protrusions 6 provided on the inner side of the handle 1. When the user wants to fetch a screw bit 9 inside the handle, the engaging member 10 is pressed to disengage from the protrusion 6 so as to take off the base 5. The press board 11 is disposed beside the engaging member 10. The handle 1 has the notch 17. The press board 11 is pressed to pass the notch 17 and press the engaging member 10 to disengage from the corresponding protrusion so that the fixing shaft and the fixing disc can be taken out. When the user wants to take out the fixing shaft or screw bits inside the handle, the press board is pressed to press the engaging member to disengage from the corresponding protrusion so as to take off the base. After taking out a desired bit, the press board is pressed to press the engaging member, and then the base is fitted to the handle. After that, the press board is released and the engaging member restores to its original state to engage with the protrusion, such that the base is secured to the handle firmly. The press board is located at the outer side of the engaging member, providing a protection function to the engaging member and preventing the engaging member from being damaged by an external force. By pressing the press board to press the engaging member and then to take off the base, the press board has a torque to apply a force to the engaging member so it is labor-saving. Through cooperation of the press board and the engaging member, the engaging member gets less press strength so it has a longer service life and won't be damaged easily. The base can be secured to or taken off from the handle by one touch. Compared to the thread connection, this way saves time.
The handle 1 comprises a plurality of anti-skid protrusions 3 and anti-skid grooves 4 on an outer wall thereof. The anti-skid protrusions 3 and the anti-skid grooves 4 are adapted to prevent the user's hand from skidding when in use.
The chamber of the handle of the screw bit holder of the present invention can accommodate a plurality of screw bits. When in use, a desired screw bit 9 is taken out to be secured to the first fixing rod 2 at the end of the handle. The anti-skid protrusions 3 and the anti-skid grooves 4 on the handle 1 prevent the user's fingers from skidding when applying a force. The handle 1 further has a window 13 for the user to see and choose the screw bits inside the handle conveniently.
The screw bit holder further comprises a fixing disc. The fixing disc has a central through hole. The fixing disc is fitted on the outside of the fixing shaft through the through hole. The fixing disc has a plurality of fixing troughs around an outer side thereof. The screw bits are secured through the fixing troughs. The outside of the fixing shaft has a plurality of guide grooves. The fixing disc has a plurality of resilient members thereon. The resilient members protrude out of the through hole. The resilient members are buckled on the guide grooves. The fixing disc has a partition to divide each of the fixing trough into two parts. The resilient members are disposed on upper and lower ends of the fixing disc. One end of each resilient member is fixed to the partition, and the other end of each resilient member protrudes out of the through hole. Through the ratchet, the present invention is used conveniently to save labor greatly.
