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
