The hollow main shaft 10 comprises a first end 11, a second end 12 opposite to the first end 11, and a plurality of locating grooves 13 spaced around the periphery of the second end 12, while plural torque value numbers 14 are disposed on the periphery of the hollow main shaft 10. The tool member 20 comprises a head piece 21 made in the form of, for example, a ratchet socket joint, and a stem 22 inserted into the inside of the first end 11 of the hollow main shaft 10. The adjustable grip 30 comprises an adjustment screw member 31 fixedly mounted therein on the center and screwed to the second end 12 of the hollow main shaft 10 for allowing the adjustable grip 30 to rotate against the hollow main shaft 10, with a ring groove 301 disposed on the periphery of one end of the adjustable grip 30 opposite to the end combined to the hollow main shaft 10. The torque-adjustment elastic member 40 mounts inside the hollow main shaft 10 and is stopped against one end of the adjustment screw member 31. At least a stopper member 41 is disposed between the torque-adjustment elastic member 40 and one end of the adjustment screw member 31 for allowing the torque-adjustment elastic member 40 to be indirectly stopped against one end of the adjustment screw member 31. The clutch device 50 is set between the torque-adjustment elastic member 40 and the tool member 20, pushable by the torque-adjustment elastic member 40 between an engaged position and a disengaged position. The clutch device 50 includes a plurality of block members movable by the torque-adjustment elastic member 40 to abut against one another. The functional lock 60 is disposed on the outer periphery of the second end 12 of the hollow main shaft 10 and axially moveable between a locked position and an unlocked position along the hollow main shaft 10. The functional lock 60 comprises a locking ring 61, a compression spring 62, a C-clasp 63, at least a through hole 64, and at least a positioning ball 65. The locking ring 61 mounts in between the second end 12 of the hollow main shaft 10 and the adjustable grip 30, with a containing groove 611 disposed on one end of the inner wall of the locking ring 61, a pushing face 612 axially extending from the containing groove 611 toward the adjustable grip 30, and a spring groove 613 disposed on the other end of the inner wall of the locking ring 61. An annular groove 614 is disposed in the spring groove 613, while the inner diameter of the spring groove 613 is smaller than the inner diameter of the annular groove 614. In addition, an anti-sliding portion 615 comprising plural ditches mounts around the outer periphery of the locking ring 61, and the pushing face 612 is located in a position higher than the groove bottom of the containing groove 611. A bevel 616 is disposed on the junction between the containing groove 611 and the pushing face 612. The compression spring 62 is disposed between the locking ring 61 and the adjustable grip 30 and permanently pushing the locking ring 61. The C-clasp 63 is made of medal and disposed on a ring groove 301 of the adjustable grip for being optionally coupled with the annular groove 614, whereby the locking ring 61 is located in the unlocked position. At least a through hole 64 is disposed on the periphery of the adjustable grip 30. Preferably, the adjustable grip 30 comprises a hollow extension tube 32 sleeving the locating groove 13, and the through hole 64 is disposed on the periphery of the extension tube 32, while one end of the extension tube 32 is provided with plural level value numbers 321 as a reference corresponding to the torque value number 14 on the hollow main shaft 10. The periphery of the extension tube 32 is provided with a position limiting hole 322 which is 90 degrees apart from the through hole 64 on the periphery of the extension tube 32. The distance between the position limiting hole 322 and the adjustable grip 30 is longer than the distance between the through hole 64 and the adjustable grip, while a position limiting ball 66 is received in the position limiting hole 322 for limiting the movement of the locking ring 61. The at least one positioning ball 65 made of medal is received in the through hole 64 for corresponding with the locating groove 13, wherein the diameter of the positioning ball 65 is smaller than the diameter of the position limiting ball 66.

However, the conventional torque wrench has the following disadvantages.

1. The hollow main shaft 10 and the adjustable grip 30 are locked by the functional lock 60, such that when the adjustable grip 30 is rotated, the hollow main shaft 10 is rotated by the adjustable grip 30. The positioning ball 65 bears the rotation force of the adjustable grip 30 individually, such that the force is not distributed evenly, and the positioning ball 65 has to withstand a large force.

2. The functional lock 60 is mounted between the hollow main shaft 10 and the adjustable grip 30, thereby decreasing the aesthetic quality of the conventional torque wrench.

3. The hollow main shaft 10 comprises a plurality of locating grooves 13. Each of the locating grooves 13 has a noncircular shape and has a determined length, such that the locating grooves 13 greatly increase the cost of the hollow main shaft 10.

In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the second elastic member 77 is biased between the positioning seat 60 and the fourth locking member 74.

Accordingly, the advantages of the torque structure of the present invention are described as follows.

1. The first locking members 71 extend through the first through holes 413, such that when the first body 10 is rotated to drive the second body 20, the first locking members 71 bear and evenly distribute the rotation force of the first body 10. Thus, the first locking members 71 have a better support force. The first locking members 71 are replaced when being broken, thereby decreasing the cost.

2. Each of the first locking members 71 is a circular rod. Each of the third locking members 73 is a circular rod. The second locking member 72 has a sheet shape. The fourth locking member 74 has a sheet shape. The resting portions 721, the first receiving grooves 723, and the second receiving grooves 742 are formed by punching, stamping or pressing. Thus, the first locking members 71, the second locking member 72, the third locking members 73, and the fourth locking member 74 have lower cost.

3. As shown in FIG. 9, the first locking members 71 cannot be rotated, such that the second locking member 72 and the third locking members 73 cannot be rotated. Thus, the first adjusting member 50 is limited by the locking unit 70 and cannot be rotated and moved, such that the first body 10 is locked onto and cannot be rotated relative to the second body 20.

4. When the second adjusting member 76 is rotated and moved opposite to the opening of the receiving recess 11, the fourth threaded portion 761 is unscrewed from the third threaded portion 752, and the fourth locking member 74 and the third locking members 73 are released from and not limited by the second adjusting member 76, to allow movement of the third locking members 73 and the fourth locking member 74, the third locking members 73 are detached from the first receiving grooves 723 as shown in FIG. 12. Thus, the third locking members 73 are unlocked from and not limited by the second locking member 72, such that the first body 10 is not limited by the locking unit 70 and can be rotated and moved freely. In such a manner, the first body 10 is unlocked from the second body 20, such that when the first body 10 is rotated relative to the second body 20, the first adjusting member 50 is driven by the first body 10 and moved in the first threaded portion 411, to adjust the tension of the first elastic member 30, and to adjust the torque of the torque structure.

5. Referring to FIG. 6 with reference to FIGS. 1-5, the third locking members 73 extend through the second through holes 61, and has a first end resting on and detachably received in one of the first receiving grooves 723, and a second end received or secured in one of the second receiving grooves 742. The second adjusting member 76 detachably rests on the fourth locking member 74. Thus, when the second adjusting member 76 is rotated relative to the fastening member 75, the fourth threaded portion 761 is rotated and moved relative to the third threaded portion 752, such that the second adjusting member 76 is moved to press or release the third locking members 73 and the fourth locking member 74. Therefore, the third locking members 73 is locked in or detached from the first receiving grooves 723, such that the first body 10 is locked onto or unlocked from the second body 20.

Although the invention has been explained in relation to its preferred embodiment(s) as mentioned above, it is to be understood that many other possible modifications and variations can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. It is, therefore, contemplated that the appended claim or claims will cover such modifications and variations that fall within the scope of the invention.
