TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to a variable box spanner, which allows coupling and decoupling of bolts having various sizes using a movable bolt head protrusion latch which is variably adjustable according to a size of a head of a bolt and an adjustment screw, as a tool configured to tighten the bolt.
BACKGROUND ART
In order to couple machine parts and the like, bolts and nuts are generally used. When the machine parts and the like need to be coupled, the bolts or nuts should be tightened, and in a case in which the coupling needs to be decoupled for the purpose of repair and the like, the bolts or nuts should be loosened. Generic tools used to tighten or loosen bolts or nuts as described above are spanners. In a box spanner which is one of the spanners, a separate lever is connected to a small cylindrical body (box wrench) in which a hexagonal hole having a predetermined size is formed, a head portion of a bolt or nut to be tightened or loosened is covered with the cylindrical body, and the lever is turned to the right or left to tighten or loosen the corresponding bolt or nut.
Bolts and nuts having various dimensions are used according to the degree of coupling force. In order to tighten or loosen the bolts or nuts having various dimensions, many spanner boxes having different dimensions are needed for the corresponding dimensions of the bolts or nuts. Accordingly, the plurality of spanner boxes having different dimensions are set and accommodated in one toolbox to be sold, and in a workplace using the plurality of spanner boxes, the plurality of spanner boxes are managed as a group.
Since the bolts/nuts that the plurality of spanner boxes can be used on are set, a variable spanner box, which may be applied to bolts and nuts having various sizes, has been developed to solve the inconvenience of a worker replacing a box spanner and using a corresponding spanner box and to improve work efficiency while the worker uses a box spanner.

A pressing shaft coupling pin hole 17-2 is formed in a central region of an arc and rotatably connected to the rivet connection shaft 15-3 of the pressing shaft 15 through a pin.
FIGS. 21A and 21B are views illustrating operation states of the spanner box according to the third embodiment of the present invention. As illustrated in the drawings, the third embodiment of the present invention has a structure in which the third bolt head protrusion latches 14 are installed in the sliding part 13 in which the circular groove 13-1 and the sliding grooves disposed at angular intervals of 120° are machined in the central portion, the inclined surface 15-2 into which the inclined portion 14-3 of the third bolt head protrusion latch 14 is insertable is machined in one side surface, and the pressing shaft 15 connected to the pressing shaft lever 17 is installed on the other side surface, and when a distance between the pressing shaft lever 17 and the grip 16-2 is changed, the pressing shaft 15 may press the inclined surfaces 14-3 of the third bolt head protrusion latches to change distances between the third bolt head protrusion latches 14 so as to tighten an arbitrary bolt head, and in the state in which the bolt head is tightened, the grip 16-2 and the pressing shaft lever 17 are rotated to tighten or loosen a bolt, and an auxiliary grip is restored to an original state by the spring 18.
FIG. 21A is a view illustrating a coupling or decoupling operation of a bolt having a large diameter, and FIG. 21B is a view illustrating a coupling or decoupling operation of a bolt having a small diameter.
A feature for implementing a variable box is that a structure is implemented in which bolt head protrusion latches are gathered toward a central point of a bolt or moved away in a circumferential direction to adjust distances between the bolt head protrusion latches according to a size of the bolt head and has a holding force enough to withstand a torque applied when the bolt is coupled or decoupled. To this end, in the present invention, the bolt head protrusion latches are installed in the grooves of the sliding plate so that the bolt head protrusion latches are only allowed to linearly move in a direction toward an original point and in the circumferential direction, and the linear motion is restricted by the adjustment screw having an inclined wing and the conversion plate which converts rotational motion to linear motion, and thus the variable box having the holding strong force can be implemented.
