Abstract

An anti-slip torque tool with integrated engagement features includes a torque-tool body and a plurality of engagement features. The plurality of engagement features is radially distributed around a rotational axis of the torque-tool body. Each of the plurality of engagement features includes a first cavity surface, a first bracing surface, a second bracing surface, and a second cavity surface. The first bracing surface and the second bracing surface are adjacently connected to each other through an intersection point. The first cavity surface is terminally connected to the first bracing surface through a first connection point as the first bracing surface is positioned in between the second bracing surface and the first cavity surface. The second cavity surface is terminally connected to the second bracing surface through a second connection point as the second bracing surface is positioned in between the first bracing surface and the second cavity surface.

First claim

a plurality of engagement features;
the plurality of engagement features being radially distributed around a rotational axis of the torque-tool body;
each of the plurality of engagement features comprising a first cavity surface, a first bracing surface, a second bracing surface, and a second cavity surface;
the first bracing surface and the second bracing surface being adjacently connected to each other through an intersection point;
the first cavity surface being terminally connected to the first bracing surface through a first connection point;
the first bracing surface being positioned in between the second bracing surface and the first cavity surface;
the second cavity surface being terminally connected to the second bracing surface through a second connection point;
the second bracing surface being positioned in between the first bracing surface and the second cavity surface;
the first cavity surface comprising a first angled section and a first arc section;
the second cavity surface comprising a second angled section and a second arc section;
the first angled section and the first arc section being adjacently connected to each other;
the first angled section being terminally connected to the first bracing surface at a first obtuse angle and through the first connection point;
the first angled section being positioned in between the first arc section and the first bracing surface;
the second angled section and the second arc section being adjacently connected to each other;
the second angled section being terminally connected to the second bracing surface at a second obtuse angle and through the second connection point; and
the second angled section being positioned in between the second arc section and the second bracing surface.

2. The anti-slip torque tool with integrated engagement features as claimed in claim 1 comprises:
a wrench handle; and
the wrench handle being externally and laterally connected to the torque-tool body.

3. The anti-slip torque tool with integrated engagement features as claimed in claim 1 comprises, wherein the torque-tool body being outwardly extended from the plurality of engagement features to an outer wall of the torque-tool body.

4. The anti-slip torque tool with integrated engagement features as claimed in claim 3 comprises:
an attachment body;
a square engagement bore;
the attachment body being centrally positioned around and along the rotational axis;
the attachment body being adjacently connected to the torque-tool body; and
the square engagement bore traversing into the attachment body along the rotational axis, opposite of the torque-tool body.

5. The anti-slip torque tool with integrated engagement features as claimed in claim 1 comprises, wherein the first bracing surface and the second bracing surface are angularly positioned to each other about the intersection point.

6. The anti-slip torque tool with integrated engagement features as claimed in claim 1 comprises, wherein the first bracing surface and the second bracing surface are positioned parallel to each other.

7. The anti-slip torque tool with integrated engagement features as claimed in claim 1 comprises:
