    Description
    Title of the invention: Threading device with adjustable torque The present invention relates to a threading device and, more particularly, a threading device with adjustable torque.
    If we refer to Figure 10, we can see that a conventional threading device comprises a left-hand turn 91, also called a tap holder, and a tap 92. The tap 92 can be rod shape to make an internal thread (or "screw hole") as shown or annular to make an external thread (not shown). Thus, in the present application the term tap means a filter tool allowing the production of an internal thread or an external thread. The tap 92 comprises a square shank (not referenced) introduced into a square hole provided in the left-hand handle 91. A locking mechanism 912 is used to lock the left-hand turner 91 to the tap 92.
    A user can turn the turner 91 to rotate the tap 92 in order to produce an internal thread in a workpiece (not shown). The angle of the tap 92 with respect to the workpiece, the speed of advance of the tap 92 in the workpiece and the debris produced in the thread can cause increased resistance to tapping. It would be preferable to adjust the advance of the tap in the workpiece to allow smooth tapping.
    However, feeling resistance to tapping requires experience. The user could stop the tapping too late to avoid breaking the tap 92 in the workpiece. Such a break inevitably increases the time and cost of tapping.
    The present invention therefore aims to solve or at least mitigate the problems encountered in the prior art.
    It is a main objective of the present invention to provide a threading device with adjustable torque.
    To achieve the objectives mentioned above, the adjustable torque threading apparatus according to the present invention comprises a tap, a left-hand thread and a torque adjustment mechanism. The torque adjustment mechanism includes a shell, a main adjustment member and a clutch. The shell is connected to the left hand turner and comprises an axial hole made through the shell in an axial direction, an annular part formed at one end of the shell, an internally threaded section formed on an internal face of the shell, and a screw hole made through the shell in a radial direction and in communication with the axial hole. The main adjuster includes an enlarged head and an externally threaded section extending from the enlarged head. The external thread section is engaged with the internal thread section. The clutch includes an upper gear and a lower gear. The upper gear comprises teeth extending from a lower face and at least one limiting cutout in a periphery. The lower gear includes teeth extending from an upper face and a connecting rod extending from a lower face. The teeth of the lower gear are engaged with the teeth of the upper gear. The connecting rod is connected to the tap. At least one screw is inserted into the limiting cutout through the screw hole. A spring is compressed between the main adjuster and the top gear, thus pressing the top gear against the bottom gear.
    The connecting rod may include a recess to receive one end of the tap.
    The adjustable torque threading apparatus according to the present invention may further comprise a connector for connecting the connecting rod to the tap.
    Each of the upper and lower toothed wheels may include recesses in a periphery, and the clutch may further comprise balls introduced into the recesses of the upper and lower toothed wheels.
    The clutch may further include a washer located around the connecting rod and sandwiched between the lower gear and the annular part.
    The adjustable torque threading apparatus according to the present invention may further comprise an indicator, the main adjustment member further comprising an annular groove for receiving the indicator, and the shell further comprising a window through which the indicator is observable.
    The threading apparatus with adjustable torque according to the present invention may further comprise a panel for covering the window of the shell.
    The main regulator can further include:
    - an axial bore made through the main adjusting member in an axial direction;
    - a partition formed on an internal face of the main adjustment member, thus dividing the axial bore into two sections;
    - a screw hole made through the partition in an axial direction;
    - a secondary adjustment member in the form of a screw introduced into the screw hole of the partition; and
    - a connector located between the secondary adjustment member and the spring.
    Other objectives, advantages and characteristics of the present invention will appear on reading the following description with reference to the accompanying drawings.

    [Fig.9] is a partial longitudinal sectional view of a torque adjustment mechanism according to the third embodiment.
    [Fig.10] is a perspective view of a conventional adjustable torque threading apparatus.
    If one refers to Figures 1 to 7, it can be seen that an adjustable torque threading apparatus comprises a tap 92 (Figure 10), a left-hand turn 60 and a torque adjustment mechanism . According to the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the torque adjustment mechanism comprises a shell 10, a main adjustment member 20, an indicator 31, a panel 32, a secondary adjustment member 33, a spring 34, a connector 35, a clutch 40 and a fitting 50.
    If one refers to Figures 1 to 4, it can be seen that the shell 10 comprises an axial hole 11, an annular part 12, a section with internal thread 13 and a window 14. The axial hole 11 is produced through the shell 10. The annular part 12 is formed at a lower end of the shell 10. The annular part 12 inherently comprises an opening. The opening of the annular part 12 is smaller than the axial hole 11 and is in communication with the latter. The internal thread section 13 extends over an internal face of the shell 10 and is located in upper and middle sections of the axial hole 11. The window 14 is produced through the shell 11 in a radial direction and is in communication with the axial hole 11, in correspondence with the section with internal thread 13. However, in another embodiment, the window 14 can be omitted.
    If one refers to Figures 1 to 3 and 5, it can be seen that the main adjustment member is engaged with the shell 10. The main adjustment member 20 comprises an enlarged head 21, a section with external thread 22, an axial bore 23, a partition 24, a screw hole 25 and an annular groove 26. The external thread section 22 is engaged with the internal thread section 13 of the shell 10. The axial bore 23 is produced through the main adjusting member 20. The partition 24 extends on an internal face of the main adjusting member 20, thus dividing the axial bore 23 into an upper section 232 and a lower section 234. The screw hole 25 is made through the partition 24. The screw hole 25 is coaxial with the axial bore 23. The pitch of the screw hole 25 is less than the pitch of the internally threaded section 13 of the shell 10. The annular groove 26 is produced in an external face of the threaded section e xterne 22. The annular groove 26 is located in correspondence with the window 14 of the shell 10.
    If we refer to Liguria 2 and 3, we can see that the indicator 31 is in the form of a movable ring inserted in the annular groove 26 of the main adjusting member 20. The indicator 31 is connected to and movable relative to the main adjusting member 20. However, the indicator 31 can be omitted, as can the window 14.
    If we refer to Liguria 1 to 3, we can see that the panel 32 is connected to the shell 10. The panel 32 includes at least one lens 321 corresponding to the window 14 and a graduation 322 in the vicinity of the lens 321. Thus, no foreign body can enter the shell 10 through the window 14. In addition, the indicator 31, which is introduced into the shell 10, can be observed through the window 14 and the lens 321. The position of the indicator 31 with respect to the scale 322 is used to indicate a maximum value of torque which is authorized to be transmitted by means of the threading apparatus with adjustable torque. However, the panel 32 can be omitted in another embodiment in which the scale 322 can be formed on the shell 10 in the vicinity of the window 14.
    If we refer to Figures 2 and 3, we can see that the secondary adjustment member 33 is in the form of a screw introduced into the screw hole 25.
    If we refer to Liguria 2 and 3, we can see that the spring 34 is introduced into the lower section 234 of the axial bore 23 of the main adjusting member 20. The spring 34 is of preferably a coil spring.
    If we refer to Liguria 2 and 3, we can see that the connector 35 is also introduced into the lower section 234 of the axial bore 23 of the main adjusting member 20. The connector 35 is located between the secondary adjustment member 33 and the spring 34. The connector 35 is compressed between the spring 34 and the secondary adjustment member 33, so that the connector 35 is axially movable in the axial bore 23. The connector 35 comprises a positioning boss 352 extending from a lower face. The positioning boss 352 is introduced into an upper end of the spring 34.
    If we refer to Figures 2 and 3, we can see that the clutch 40 includes an upper gear 41, a lower gear 42, several balls 43, a washer 44, a screw hole 45 and a screw 46.
    The upper gear 41 is introduced into the axial hole 11. The upper gear 41 comprises an upper face in contact with a lower end of the spring 34. Preferably, the upper gear 41 comprises a positioning rod 412 and teeth 414 on a lower face. The positioning rod 412 is introduced into the lower end of the spring 34. The upper toothed wheel 41 further comprises recesses 416 and a limiting cutout 418 in the periphery. The teeth 414 are arranged in a circle. The recesses 416 receive balls 43 in a mobile manner. The limiting cutout 418 extends parallel to an axis of the upper toothed wheel 41.
    The lower gear 42 is located below the upper gear 41 in the axial hole 11. The lower gear 42 includes a connecting rod 422 extending from a lower face, teeth 424 extending from an upper face, and recesses 426 made in the periphery. The connecting rod 422 extends out of the shell 10 through the opening of the annular part 12. The teeth 424 of the lower toothed wheel 42 are engaged with the teeth 414 of the upper toothed wheel 41. Preferably, the teeth 412 and 422 are asymmetrical teeth. The recesses 426 receive other balls 43 in a mobile manner.
    The washer 44 is located around the connecting rod 422 of the lower gear 42. The washer 44 is located between the underside of the lower gear 42 and an upper face of the annular part 12 of the shell 10 .
    If we refer to Figures 2, 3 and 6, we can see that the connector 50 includes an upper cavity 52 in an upper face and a lower cavity 54 in a lower face. The upper cavity 52 receives the connecting rod 422. The upper cavity 52 and the connecting rod 422 are non-circular and, more preferably, are hexagonal, so that the connector 50 is able to rotate with the toothed wheel. lower 42. The lower cavity 54 is used to receive the tap. Preferably, the upper cavity 52 further comprises a magnet 56 in each of the upper and lower cavities 52 and 54 to attract the connecting rod 422 or the tap.
    The screw hole 45 is made through the shell 10 in a radial direction. Thus, the screw hole 45 is in communication with the axial hole 11.
    The screw 46 is introduced into the screw hole 45. The screw 46 includes an external end located outside the shell 10 and an internal end introduced into the shell 10. The internal end of the screw 46 is introduced into the limiting cutout 418, such that the upper toothed wheel 41 is movable only axially in the shell 10 and that they cannot rotate relative to each other. In other words, the upper toothed wheel 41 is able to rotate with the shell 10. In another embodiment, it is possible to provide more than one screw 46, the shell 10 may then include more than one screw hole 45 and the upper gear 41 may include more than one limiting cutout 418.
    If we refer to Figure 7, we can see that the toume-à-gauche 60 comprises a collar 62 and screws 622. The collar 62 has screw holes (not referenced) to receive the screws 622 Each of the screws 622 comprises an external end situated outside the collar 62 and an internal end introduced into the collar 62.
    In operation, the collar 62 is disposed on the shell 10. The screws 622 are tightened in the screw holes of the collar 62 so that the internal end of each screw 622 is in abutment against the shell 10 and that the toume-à-gauche 60 is able to rotate with the shell 10. An upper end of the tap 92 is introduced into the lower cavity 54 of the connector 50. The upper end of the tap 92 and the upper cavity 52 are non-circular and , more preferably, are hexagonal, so that the tap 92 is able to rotate with the connector 50. A user can operate the left-hand handle 60 to rotate the tap 92 via the adjustment mechanism of couple.
    The user can use the main adjustment member 20 to adjust a maximum torque value which can be transmitted from the left turner 60 to the tap 92 via the torque adjustment mechanism and, more particularly , of the spring and of the clutch 40. The indicator 31 is moved up and down as the main adjusting member 20 is moved up and down in the axial hole 11. The user can know the maximum value of the torque by observing the position of the indicator 31 relative to the scale 322. The user can also use the secondary adjustment member 33 to change the position of the connector in the axial bore 23 , that is to say adjust the compression of the spring 34 and the engagement of the upper gear 41 with the lower gear 42. Thus, the maximum torque value is adjusted. Adjustment using the secondary adjuster 33 is light compared to adjustment using the primary adjuster 20.
    During a threading, the upper toothed wheel 41 is engaged with the lower toothed wheel 42, so that the rotation of the left-hand turn 60 brings about the rotation of the tap 92 via the clutch 40. When the clutch 40 is subjected to a torque value greater than the maximum torque value, the upper toothed wheel 41 is disengaged from the lower toothed wheel 42 and caused to rotate relative to the latter, so that the rotation of the left-turn 60 does not cause the rotation of the tap 92 via the clutch 40. In other words, the tap 92 is not subjected to the value of torque greater than the maximum value of couple. Thus, a rupture of the tap 92 is prevented.
    If we refer to Figure 8, we can see that there is shown a threading apparatus with adjustable torque according to a second embodiment of the present invention. The second embodiment is identical to the first embodiment, except for two things. First, connector 35 is omitted. Second, a main adjuster 20 ’is used in place of the main adjuster 20.
    The main adjuster 20 'includes an enlarged head 21', an external thread section 222 extending from the enlarged head 21 ', and a positioning boss 224 extending from the section with external thread 222. The external thread section 222 is engaged with the internal thread section 13. The positioning boss 224 is introduced into the upper end of the spring 34. In another embodiment, the positioning boss 224 could however be omitted.
    If we refer to Figure 9, we can see that there is shown a threading apparatus with adjustable torque according to a third embodiment of the present invention. The third embodiment is identical to the first embodiment, except for two things. First, fitting 50 is omitted. Second, the connecting rod 422 of the lower gear 42 includes a recess 423 for receiving the upper end of the tap.
    The present invention has been described by way of illustration of embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make modifications to these embodiments without departing from the scope of the present invention.
