Index Pry Bar
Revolutionary Double Gear Mechanism and Utility Patented Design Introduced in POPLOCK Tool's Pry Bar Program in 2016
SUMMARY OF INVENTION
The purpose of this invention is to create a device that controls the rotation of a tool in a more user-friendly manner and reduces the likelihood of the tool getting stuck during use. In addition, the invention aims to make the device easier and more cost-effective to manufacture and assemble. The device is made up of several parts including a handle, a tool head, two ratchet wheels, a spring, and two C-shaped snap rings. The handle has two parts that fit together during assembly, each with a hole in the middle. These holes have a ratchet edge on the inside and a groove around the inside. The tool head has two ends, a working end and a pivot end that fits between the two parts of the handle. The pivot end has a hole that lines up with the hole in the handle and has a ratchet edge on the inside. The two ratchet wheels fit between the handle parts and the pivot end of the tool head. They can be adjusted to be close together or farther apart. Each wheel has a ratchet edge on the outside, a groove on the inside, and a button on the outside. The ratchet edges can be engaged with the ratchet edge on the tool head or both ratchet edges on the handle. This allows for better control of the rotation of the tool and reduces the chances of the tool getting stuck during use.
