Abstract:
1. A hand tool for adjusting torsion comprising: a cap; a spindle assembly fixed to the cap; a tubular adjusting seat sleeved on the spindle assembly and engaged with the spindle assembly, the adjusting seat having a sliding groove axially spirally defined in an outer periphery thereof, at least one ball slidably received in the sliding groove and being movable along the sliding groove; a first handle sleeved on the adjusting seat, the first handle having at least one fixing hole defined in an outer periphery thereof and extending therethrough for corresponding the at least one ball, the first handle having a torsion spring received therein, a first teethed seat connected to the torsion spring, and a second teethed seat engaged with the first teethed seat, the torsion spring having one end abutted against the adjusting seat and the other end abutted against the first teethed seat, the first and second teethed seats respectively having teeth formed thereon for corresponding to each other, the first teethed seat having one end abutted against by the torsion spring and the teeth formed on the other end correspondingly engaged with the teeth of the second teethed seat, the first teethed seat being in a polygonal shaped; a sliding sleeve sleeved on the first handle, the sliding sleeve having at least one reset slot annularly defined in an inner periphery thereof for corresponding to the at least one fixing hole; a second handle abutted against the second teethed seat, the first teethed seat correspondingly mounted in the second handle for radially fixing the first teethed seat, a driving rod assembly fixing to the second handle; wherein the at least one ball is restricted in the fixing hole and the inner periphery of the sliding sleeve is abutted against the at least one ball; when adjusting the torsion value, the cap rotated and simultaneously driving the spindle assembly with the adjusting seat such that the at least one ball is restricted and screwedly moved along the sliding groove, the adjusting seat axially moved relative to the first handle for compressing the torsion spring to setting torsion value; wherein when the driving rod assembly is applied a force greater than the torsion power of the torsion spring, the diving rod assembly driving the second handle with the first teethed seat such that the teeth of the first and the second teethed seats are slid relative to each other and the driving rod assembly is idle; wherein when the torsion spring is released, the sliding sleeve axially moved and the at least one reset slot corresponding to the at least one ball, the at least one ball detached from the sliding groove and partially received in the at least one reset slot, the adjusting seat being pushed by an elastic restoring force of the torsion spring and moved relative to the at least one ball such that the torsion spring is released.
