Abstract
A thread tapping device has a main seat, a rotating head, a handle rod, an adjustment rod, a pivot connector, and a pair of scrape blades. The main seat has a V-shaped groove, a bottom pivot hole, a through aperture, two connection bars, and an end block. The rotating head is disposed on the handle rod and inserted in the bottom pivot hole of the main seat. The adjustment rod has an upper lug and an outer threaded portion inserted in the rotating head. The pivot connector has a round aperture, a circular aperture, and a lower groove to receive the upper lug of the adjustment rod. Each scrape blade is disposed between the end block and one of the connection bars.
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a thread tapping device. More particularly, the present invention relates to a thread tapping device which is operated easily.
Referring to
FIG. 1
, a conventional thread tapping device
1
has a plurality of scrape teeth
2
to shape damaged threads on a bolt
100
. If the conventional thread tapping device
1
is not operated precisely, the damaged threads on the bolt
100
will be damaged by the conventional thread tapping device
1
.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
An object of the present invention is to provide a thread tapping device which has a V-shaped groove to receive a bolt in order to hold the bolt stably while the thread tapping device shapes damaged threads on the bolt.
Accordingly, a thread tapping device comprises a main seat, a rotating head, a handle rod, an adjustment rod, a pivot connector, and a pair of scrape blades. The main seat has a V-shaped groove, a bottom pivot hole, a through aperture communicating with the bottom pivot hole, two connection bars, and an end block. Each connection bar has an oblong hole. The end block has an oblong aperture. The rotating head has an annular recess and an upper threaded hole. The rotating head is disposed on the handle rod. The rotating head is inserted in the bottom pivot hole of the main seat. The adjustment rod has an outer threaded portion and an upper lug having a pivot aperture. The outer threaded portion of the adjustment rod is inserted in the upper threaded hole of the rotating head. The pivot connector has a round aperture, a circular aperture, and a lower groove to receive the upper lug of the adjustment rod. Each scrape blade has a round hole, a circular hole, and a lower edge. Each scrape blade is disposed between the end block and one of the connection bars. A first pin is inserted in the through aperture of the main seat. A second pin is inserted through each oblong hole of each connection bar, the oblong aperture of the end block, and each circular hole of each scrape blade. A third pin is inserted through the round aperture of the pivot connector and the pivot aperture of the adjustment rod. A fourth pin is inserted through each round hole of each scrape blade and the circular aperture of the pivot connector.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Referring to
FIGS. 2
to
9
A, a thread tapping device comprises a main seat
10
, a rotating head
20
, a handle rod
60
, an adjustment rod
30
, a pivot connector
40
, and a pair of scrape blades
50
.
The main seat
10
has a V-shaped groove
15
, a bottom pivot hole
11
, a through aperture
12
communicating with the bottom pivot hole
11
, two connection bars
13
, and an end block
13
′.
Each of the connection bars
13
has an oblong hole
14
.
The end block
13
′ has an oblong aperture
14
′.
The rotating head
20
has an annular recess
21
, an upper threaded hole
22
, and a lower hole
23
.
The rotating head
20
is disposed on the handle rod
60
.
The rotating head
20
is inserted in the bottom pivot hole
11
of the main seat
10
.
The adjustment rod
30
has an outer threaded portion
31
and an upper lug
32
having a pivot aperture
33
.
The outer threaded portion
31
of the adjustment rod
30
is inserted in the upper threaded hole
22
of the rotating head
20
.
The pivot connector
40
has a round aperture
41
, a circular aperture
42
, and a lower groove
43
to receive the upper lug
32
of the adjustment rod
30
.
Each of the scrape blades
50
has a round hole
51
, a circular hole
52
, and a lower edge
53
.
Each of the scrape blades
50
is disposed between the end block
13
′ and one of the connection bars
13
.
A first pin P′ is inserted in the through aperture
