Patent ID: 7484438

Claim:
A right angle driving apparatus comprising: a. An elongated block shaped housing having a predominantly solid core, a top, a bottom, a first exterior side wall, a second exterior side wall, a proximal end and a distal end; b. An axial bore extending at least partially through said solid core between said proximal end and said distal end; c. A transverse bore extending through said solid core perpendicular to and above said axial bore between said first exterior side wall and said second exterior side wall, said transverse bore being in communication with said axial bore; d. a shaft mounted within said axial bore; said shaft having a proximal end capable of operable attachment to a powered rotational drive device and a partially threaded distal end, said distal end being adapted to receive driving tools to permit direct driving of tools and target fasteners; e. a worm wheel assembly mounted within said transverse bore and in operable communication with said partially threaded distal end of said shaft; said worm wheel assembly including a hub substantially equal to the width of said housing and adapted for slidable engagement with a variety of driving tools; whereas said first exterior side wall and said second exterior side wall extend above the axis of rotation of said shaft providing surfaces against which force may be applied in coaxial alignment with the axis of rotation of said worm wheel assembly.
