Abstract:
A torque wrench having a handle and an output shaft is disclosed. The output shaft may be constrained to turn only unidirectionally due to a ratchet. Rotation of the output shaft may be permanently disabled by an internal mechanism. Torque imposed on the output shaft may be limited by a torque responsive cam clutch. The handle forms or is part of an enclosure enclosing internal components such as the ratchet, the internal disablement mechanism, and the torque responsive cam clutch. A seal between the body and the output shaft prevents ingress and egress of lubricants and contamination between the inside of the body and the output shaft.

Claim (Index 1):
A torque wrench having a feature for permanently discontinuing ability to transmit torque, comprising:\n a handle; an output shaft coupled to, and driven by rotation of, the handle, the output shaft having an axis of rotation about which the output shaft rotates when the handle rotates; a torque control responsive to torques imposed on the output shaft from the handle; and a disengagement feature which becomes operable to permanently disconnect the handle from the output shaft.
