Patent ID: 8122794

Claim:
A torque socket assembly comprising: a base having a connecting portion formed on one end thereof adapted to connect with a driving tool, another end of the base having a receiving hole defined therein; a tube sleeving on the base, the tube having a first portion and a second portion connected with the first portion, the first portion having a recess defined in an outer periphery thereof, the recess having a through hole defined in a bottom thereof; the second portion having a driving hole defined in one end thereof, the first portion partially sleeving on an outer periphery of the base such that the receiving hole communicated with the driving hole of the second portion; a torque setting unit including a first teethed gear disposed in the receiving hole, a second teethed gear meshed with the first teethed gear, a resilient unit abutted against the second teethed gear and a bottom of the second portion, and a rod axially passing through the resilient unit, the first teethed gear and the second teethed gear; the second teethed gear having an indentation formed on an outer surface thereof; one end of the rod threadedly secured in the base, another end of the rod having a driving portion formed thereon adapted to receive a driver; and a securing unit including a pin disposed in the recess in the first portion, a spring sleeving on an outer periphery of the first portion of the tube and contacted with the pin, and an outer sleeve slidably sleeving on outer peripheries of the spring and the tube; wherein by securing the rod within the base, the resilient unit is compressed, such that the resilient unit, the first and the second teethed gear provided a stable torque value; when an applying force has exceeded the stable torque value provided, the second teethed gear is abutted against the first teethed gear and slidably disengaged from the first teethed gear, such that the indentation of the second teethed gear is corresponded to the through hole of the recess, and the pin disposed in the recess falls in the indentation and is abutted against the indentation of the second teethed gear via the through hole for refraining the second teethed gear from engaging with first teethed gear.
