Abstract

A tool adapted to be driven rapidly includes a driving portion which has a first jaw and a second jaw and an opening between the first and the second jaws configured to receive an object to be driven. The first and the second jaws have first and second engaging sides configured to grip the object to be driven. The opening has a closed end, an open end, and two opposite sides respectively delimited by the first and the second engaging sides. The first engaging side extends along a linear line. The second engaging side extends along a curved line. The closed end of the opening has a smaller width than the open end of the opening.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A tool adapted to be driven rapidly comprising:
a driving portion having a first jaw and a second jaw configured to hold an object to be driven therebetween and an opening between the first and the second jaws configured to receive the object to be driven, wherein the first and the second laws have first and second engaging sides configured to grip the object to be driven, wherein the opening has a closed end, an open end, and two opposite sides respectively delimited by the first and the second engaging sides, wherein the first engaging side extends along a linear line, wherein the second engaging side extends along a curved line, wherein the closed end of the opening has a width smaller than a width of the open end of the opening, wherein the second engaging side extends along a parabola, wherein the parabola has an equation: y 2 =−12 x , wherein the parabola has an axis of symmetry which is perpendicular to the first engaging side, and wherein the parabola has a vertex on an arbitrary axis which is parallel to the first engaging side.

2. The tool as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each of the first and the second engaging sides has a first end adjacent to the closed end of the opening and a second end adjacent to the open end of the opening, and wherein the first ends of the first and the second engaging sides are spaced at a first perpendicular distance measuring a first width, wherein the second ends of the first and the second engaging sides are spaced at a perpendicular distance measuring a second width, and wherein the first width is smaller than the second width.

3. The tool as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first and the second engaging sides are formed in one piece.

4. A tool adapted to be driven rapidly comprising:
a driving portion having a first jaw and a second jaw configured to hold an object to be driven therebetween and an opening between the first and the second laws configured to receive the object to be driven, wherein the first and the second laws have first and second engaging sides configured to grip the object to be driven, wherein the opening has a closed end, an open end, and two opposite sides respectively delimited by the first and the second engaging sides, wherein the first engaging side extends along a linear line, wherein the second engaging side extends along a curved line, and wherein the closed end of the opening has a width smaller than a width of the open end of the opening;
wherein the driving portion has a first body and a second body movably coupled to the first body, wherein the first body has a jaw forming the first jaw, wherein the second body has a law forming the second law, wherein the second body is slidably coupled to the first body such that the opening varies in size in response to sliding movement of the second body with respect to the first body, wherein the first body has a position retaining portion and the second body includes a catch coupled thereto movably engaged with the position retaining portion, and wherein the catch is operably movable between a first position engaging with the position retaining portion such that the second body is unmovably fixed to the first body, and a second position disengaging form the position retaining portion such that the second body is movably disposed on the first body.

5. The tool as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the second body is pivotally coupled to the first body such that the opening varies in size in response to pivoting movement of the second body with respect to the first body.

6. The tool as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the first body defines a groove and the second body has a connecting portion movably engaged in the groove, wherein the second body is operably movable between a first position in which the connecting portion is disposed adjacent to a first end of the groove and the first and the second jaws are disposed adjacent to each other such that the opening has a first size, and a second position in which the connecting portion is disposed adjacent to a second end of the groove and the first and the second jaws are disposed away from each other such that the opening has a second size which is greater than the first size.

7. The tool as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the first body defines a groove and the second body has a connecting portion movably engaged in the groove, wherein the second body is operably movable between a first position in which the connecting portion is disposed adjacent to a first end of the groove and the first and the second jaws are disposed adjacent to each other such that the opening has a first size, and a second position in which the connecting portion is disposed adjacent to a second end of the groove and the first and the second jaws are disposed away from each other such that the opening has a second size which is greater than the first size.

8. The tool as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the position retaining portion includes a plurality of teeth on which the catch is adapted to engage.

9. A tool adapted to be driven rapidly comprising:
a driving portion having a first jaw and a second jaw configured to hold an object to be driven therebetween and an opening between the first and the second jaws configured to receive the object to be driven, wherein the first and the second laws have first and second engaging sides configured to grip the object to be driven, wherein the opening has a closed end, an open end, and two opposite sides respectively delimited by the first and the second engaging sides, wherein the first engaging side extends along a linear line, wherein the second engaging side extends along a curved line, wherein the closed end of the opening has a width smaller than a width of the open end of the opening, wherein the first jaw includes at least one protrusion extending therefrom, and wherein the protrusion has a base extending along the linear line.

10. The tool as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the first jaw includes at least one recess, and wherein the recess is disposed between the at least one protrusion and the engaging side.

11. A tool adapted to be driven rapidly comprising:
a driving portion having a first law and a second law configured to hold an object to be driven therebetween and an opening between the first and the second laws configured to receive the object to be driven, wherein the first and the second jaws have first and second engaging sides configured to grip the object to be driven, wherein the opening has a closed end, an open end, and two opposite sides respectively delimited by the first and the second engaging sides, wherein the first engaging side extends along a linear line, wherein the second engaging side extends along a curved line, wherein the closed end of the opening has a width smaller than a width of the open end of the opening, wherein the first jaw includes protrusions extending therefrom, wherein the second jaw includes concavities, wherein the protrusions have bases extending along the linear line P 1 , wherein the protrusions are disposed successively along the linear line, wherein one of the protrusions is disposed adjacent to the closed end of the opening, wherein one of the protrusions is disposed adjacent to the open end of the opening.

12. The tool as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the first engaging side and the protrusion adjacent thereto include a recess disposed therebetween, and wherein two adjacent protrusion includes a recess disposed therebetween.

13. The tool as claimed in claim 12 , wherein the protrusions have the same height.
