Socket Holder

Номер: US20120096993A1
Принадлежит: Individual

A socket holder may be designed as part of a socket extension or built into a socket holding end of a ratchet. The socket holder may have a mechanism to hold the socket at a conventional position. However, unlike conventional socket holders, the present invention may allow the socket to push past the holding mechanism, allowing the socket holder to fill an inside of the socket and provide pressure on the head of the bolt being applied by the socket. A magnet may be disposed on the end of the socket holder facing the bolt to help secure the bolt within the socket holder.

Device and method for fastener element retention and installation

A method and a device are disclosed which seek to improve productivity of the installation of fasteners. This improved productivity is achieved by holding a fastener to a driving tool with a mechanical means for a substantial portion of an installation sequence to prevent nuisance disengagement between fasteners and their driving means including dropping of fasteners early in an installation cycle. The productivity of this fastener holding approach is best realized by allowing a streamlined operation with little interaction between the fastener driving device and an operator. Specifically, a fastener installation device is described which requires no direct manipulation of said device during the sequence of loading a fastener into said device, installation of said fastener with said device, disengagement of said device from said fastener to allow complete installation of said fastener, and loading a subsequent fastener.
