Abstract:
A ratchet wrench comprising:a handle within which a motor is accommodated; a head provided with a ratchet mechanism having a rotary tightening member which is to be rotated by drive power from the motor; a pin extending in a transverse direction with respect to the axis of the handle so as to connect the head with the handle; a crankshaft connected to an output shaft of the motor; a first drive bush into which a crankpin of the crankshaft is rotatably fitted; a first drive member into which the first drive bush is fitted to be slidable in a direction substantially perpendicular to the axis of the pin, the first drive member being connected to the pin in such a manner that the first drive member is rotatable about the pin and slidable along the pin; a second drive member connected to the pin in such a manner that the second drive member is rotatable about the pin and slidable together with the first drive member along the pin; a second drive bush into which the second drive member is fitted so as to be slidable in a direction parallel to the axis of the head; and a yoke which is connected to the second drive bush in such a manner that the yoke is swingable relative to the second drive bush, the yoke being connected to the rotary tightening member via the ratchet mechanism.
