Abstract

A temporary fastening tool has a tool main body, a grip, a transmission mechanism, a socket, a plurality of pins, and two magnets. At least a portion of a side surface of the pin protrudes from an inner surface section of the socket toward a central axis of the socket. The magnets are disposed such that centers of the magnets are disposed outside of an imaginary circle having a radius of a circle that circumscribes an outer circumferential section of a screwing member that includes corner sections. The magnets are disposed at positions that do not overlap the pins when the socket is seen from a side of an opening section.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A temporary fastening tool configured to temporarily fasten a screwing member to a section to be screwed of a workpiece, the temporary fastening tool comprising:
a tool main body;
a grip installed on the tool main body;
a socket rotatably supported by the tool main body and configured such that the screwing member is inserted into the socket, the socket having a cylindrical shape;
a transmission mechanism configured to transmit a rotation driving force input to the grip to the socket;
a plurality of pins disposed in an inner surface section of the socket to extend from a bottom section of the socket toward an opening section of the socket; and
two magnets installed on the bottom section of the socket,
wherein, at least portions of side surfaces of the pins protrude from the inner surface section of the socket toward a central axis of the socket,
when the socket is rotated in a state in which the screwing member is inserted into the socket, the portions of the pins collide against corner sections of the screwing member and then the screwing member is rotated to be screwed into the section to be screwed,
the magnets are disposed such that centers of the magnets are disposed outside of an imaginary circle having a radius of a circle that circumscribes an outer circumferential section of the screwing member that includes the corner sections, a center of the circle being on the central axis of the socket, and
the magnets are disposed at positions that do not overlap the pins when the socket is seen from a side of the opening section.

2. The temporary fastening tool according to claim 1 , wherein the two magnets are disposed such that directions of magnetic poles of the two magnets are different from each other.

3. The temporary fastening tool according to claim 1 , wherein the two magnets are disposed such that directions of magnetic poles of the two magnets are the same as each other.

4. The temporary fastening tool according to claim 1 , wherein a length from the bottom section of the socket to a tip of the pin is determined based on a tightening amount of the screwing member required during temporary fastening.

5. The temporary fastening tool according to claim 1 , wherein, in a vicinity of the opening section of the socket, an inner diameter of the socket increases toward the opening section.

6. The temporary fastening tool according to claim 1 , wherein a tip of the pin has a tapered shape.

7. The temporary fastening tool according to claim 1 , wherein the two magnets are disposed at positions symmetrical with respect to the central axis of the socket.

8. The temporary fastening tool according to claim 7 , wherein the outer circumferential section of the screwing member has a hexagonal shape,
the number of the pins is two,
the two pins are disposed symmetrically with respect to the central axis of the socket, and
a line connecting the two magnets passing through the central axis of the socket and a line connecting the two pins passing through the central axis of the socket cross each other at 90°.
