SCREW DRIVER.
Application filed May 22,
This invention is a screw driver and has for its object to provide for automatically seating the bit of the driver in the groove in the head of a screw, which has been initially set in a piece of work, prior to the application of'power to the tool for rotating the same to work the screw into the work.
In carrying out this object of the invention, e to automatically rotate the driver bit by the operation of pressing the same against the head ofthe screw until the bit finds and enters the seat or groove in the head of the screw, after which the bit is automatically engaged with the rotatable part of the tool to rotate therewith and driv the screw home in the piece of work.
\Vith these and other objects in view, the present invention consists in the combination and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter more fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and particularly pointed out in the appended claim, it of course being understood that changes in the form, proportion, size and minor details may be made, within the scope of the claim, without departing from the s irit or sacrificing any of the advantages of tiie invention.
In the drawing:
Figure 1 is a longitudinal sectional view of a screw driver of the present invention, the bit being in elevation.
Figure 2 is a cross sectional view on the line 2-2 of Figure 1.
Figure 3 is a side elevation of the bit.
The tool body 1, of the present invention, has a shank 2 at one end for connecting the tool body with a. hand operated brace 'or a power driven device for rotating the tool body. A longitudinal bore extends throughout substantially the length of the body and opens through the end thereof opposite the shank. This bore has three sections 3, 4 and 5 progressing in" diameter in the order named.
Mounted to rotate and to slide endwise in the bore of the body is a cylindrical bit member 6 having an inner end portion 7 of a size to have a working fit within theinter- The outer end of the bit has a blade terminal 8 to fit the groove or seat in the head of a screw in the usual manner. At the inner end of the bit there is a reduced stem 9 to fit within 'one end of a helical spring 10 which bears at its front end against the rear end of the bit and at its rear end against the rear end wall of the bore 1926. Serial No. 111,015.
in the tool body. The inner bore section 3 is of a size to receive the spring with a working fit so as to maintain the spring in proper alinement with the bit.
An open ended finder sleeve 15 is mounted in the open end portion of the bore in the tool body. This sleeve has an external annular flange or shoulder 16 at its inner end having a working fit in the bore. A nut 17 is fitted to the externally screw threaded portion 18 of the tool body, and this nut has an internal annular flange 19 which engages across the outer side of the flange 16 on the finder sleeve to retain the sleeve on the tool body. A helical spring 20 surrounds the bit port-ion within the bore portion 5 and bears at its rear end against the shoulder 21 at the rear end of the bore portion 5 and at its front end against the inner or rear end of the finder sleeve 15 to yieldably hold the sleeve at its forward limit.
In using the device upon a screw 22 which has been initially set into apiece of work by means of a hammer, the tool is applied so as to set the finder sleeve 15 over and around the head of the sleeve until the blade portion 8 of the bit strikes the head of the screw. Further endwise movement of the tool presses the blade against the screw which results in an endwise yielding of the bit 6 against the pressure of the spring 10. As the bit yields rearwardly, it is also compelled to rotate to the left until the blade 8 comes into alinement with and drops into the groove or seat 23 in the head of the screw, whereupon rotation of the bit is stopped. When rotation of the bit ceases, endwise movement of the tool ceases, whereupon the tool body is rotated to the right, and when the pin or projection 12 engages the shoulder 14, or closed end of the spiral groove, the tool body and the bit will turn together and the screw will be sent home in the usual manner.- WVhen the finder sleeve 15 engages the surface of the work, it yields against the spring 20 without rotating, thereby permitting the screw to be sent home without danger of the rotating tool body damaging the surface of the Work. When the tool is removed from the screw, the springs 10 and 20 automatically project the bit and the finder sleeve to their normal position in readiness for another operation of the tool.
What is claimed is:
A screw driver comprising a tool body provided at one end with a driving shank,
said body having a longitudinal bore opening through the opposite end of the body and having three sections progressing in diameter from the inner to the outer end of the bore, a bit mounted for endwise'and rotary movement within the bore and having a rear portion fitting the intermediate bore section and provided with a spiral groove extending substantially 180 and terminating at opposite ends in stop shoulders, a pin extending through the body with its inner end having a working fit in the groove, a spring seated in the inner section of the bore and bearing against the rear end of the bit, a finder sleeve rotatable and slidable within the open-end of the bore, embracing the outer end of the bit and provided with an external annular flange within the, bore, a nut provided upon the forward end of the body and having an internal flange overlapping the flange ofthe finder sleeve, and a helical spring within the forward section of the bore embracing the bit and bearin at one end against the rear end of the front hore section and at itsforward end against the rear end of ,the
finder sleeve.
