Abstract

A driving tool includes a body portion, a driving portion, and a neck portion, wherein the driving portion defines a reference rotating axis, wherein distal end of the driving portion opposite to the body portion is provided with a front driving face having a first width in a radial direction of the reference rotating axis, wherein the neck portion is formed between the body portion and the driving portion and has a second width in the radial direction of the reference rotating axis, wherein the second width is less than the first width.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A driving tool comprising:
a body portion;
a driving portion defining a reference rotating axis, wherein a distal end of the driving portion opposite to the body portion is provided with a front driving face having a first width in a radial direction of the reference rotating axis; and
a neck portion formed between the body portion and the driving portion and having a second width in the radial direction of the reference rotating axis, and wherein the second width is less than the first width;
wherein the front driving face is a plane perpendicular to the reference rotating axis;
wherein an outer periphery of the driving portion in the radial direction of the reference rotating axis is provided with a first peripheral face, wherein an end of the driving portion opposite to the body portion defines a reference plane and a first rear bevel face, wherein the reference plane is perpendicular to the reference rotating axis, wherein the front driving face is located in the reference plane, wherein a side of the first rear bevel face is connected to the front driving face and forms a first side, wherein an end of the first side is adjacent to the reference rotating axis, and another end of the first side opposite to the reference rotating axis is connected to the first peripheral face, and wherein the first rear bevel face is provided with a first corner not located on the first side and disposed between the reference plane and the body portion;
wherein the first rear bevel face is connected to a first driving face extending in a direction parallel to the reference rotating axis, wherein the first driving face is connected to the first corner, and wherein a side of the first driving face opposite to the first rear bevel face is connected to the front driving face;
wherein the body portion has a third width in the radial direction of the reference rotating axis, and wherein the second width is less than the third width;
wherein the outer periphery of the driving portion in the radial direction of the reference rotating axis is further provided with a second peripheral face, a third peripheral face, a fourth peripheral face, a fifth peripheral face, and a sixth peripheral face, wherein the first peripheral face and the fourth peripheral face are respectively disposed at two opposite sides of the driving portion, wherein the second peripheral face and the fifth peripheral face are respectively disposed at two opposite sides of the driving portion, wherein the third peripheral face and the sixth peripheral face are respectively disposed at two opposite sides of the driving portion;
wherein the end of the driving portion opposite to the body portion is further provided with a second rear bevel face, a third rear bevel face, a fourth rear bevel face, a fifth rear bevel face, and a sixth rear bevel face;
wherein a side of the second rear bevel face is connected to the front driving face and forms a second side, wherein an end of the second side is adjacent to the reference rotating axis, and another end of the second side opposite to the reference rotating axis is connected to the second peripheral face, wherein the second rear bevel face is provided with a second corner not located on the second side and disposed between the reference plane and the body portion, wherein the second rear bevel face is connected to a second driving face extending in a direction parallel to the reference rotating axis, wherein the second driving face is connected to the second corner, and wherein a side of the second driving face opposite to the second rear bevel face is connected to the front driving face;
wherein a side of the third rear bevel face is connected to the front driving face and forms a third side, wherein an end of the third side is adjacent to the reference rotating axis, and another end of the third side opposite to the reference rotating axis is connected to the third peripheral face, wherein the third rear bevel face is provided with a third corner not located on the third side and disposed between the reference plane and the body portion, wherein the third rear bevel face is connected to a third driving face extending in a direction parallel to the reference rotating axis, wherein the third driving face is connected to the third corner, and wherein a side of the third driving face opposite to the third rear bevel face is connected to the front driving face;
wherein a side of the fourth rear bevel face is connected to the front driving face and forms a fourth side, wherein an end of the fourth side is adjacent to the reference rotating axis, and another end of the fourth side opposite to the reference rotating axis is connected to the fourth peripheral face, wherein the fourth rear bevel face is provided with a fourth corner not located on the fourth side and disposed between the reference plane and the body portion, wherein the fourth rear bevel face is connected to a fourth driving face extending in a direction parallel to the reference rotating axis, wherein the fourth driving face is connected to the fourth corner, and wherein a side of the fourth driving face opposite to the fourth rear bevel face is connected to the front driving face;
wherein a side of the fifth rear bevel face is connected to the front driving face and forms a fifth side, wherein an end of the fifth side is adjacent to the reference rotating axis, and another end of the fifth side opposite to the reference rotating axis is connected to the fifth peripheral face, wherein the fifth rear bevel face is provided with a fifth corner not located on the fifth side and disposed between the reference plane and the body portion, wherein the fifth rear bevel face is connected to a fifth driving face extending in a direction parallel to the reference rotating axis, wherein the fifth driving face is connected to the fifth corner, and wherein a side of the fifth driving face opposite to the fifth rear bevel face is connected to the front driving face;
wherein a side of the sixth rear bevel face is connected to the front driving face and forms a sixth side, wherein an end of the sixth side is adjacent to the reference rotating axis, and another end of the sixth side opposite to the reference rotating axis is connected to the sixth peripheral face, wherein the sixth rear bevel face is provided with a sixth corner not located on the sixth side and disposed between the reference plane and the body portion, wherein the sixth rear bevel face is connected to a sixth driving face extending in a direction parallel to the reference rotating axis, wherein the sixth driving face is connected to the sixth corner, and wherein a side of the sixth driving face opposite to the sixth rear bevel face is connected to the front driving face;
wherein a width between the first peripheral face and the fourth peripheral face in the radial direction of the reference rotating axis is tapered from an end adjacent to the front driving face to another end adjacent to the neck portion, wherein a width between the second peripheral face and the fifth peripheral face in the radial direction of the reference rotating axis is tapered from an end adjacent to the front driving face to another end adjacent to the neck portion, and wherein a width between the third peripheral face and the sixth peripheral face in the radial direction of the reference rotating axis is tapered from an end adjacent to the front driving face to another end adjacent to the neck portion,
wherein the outer periphery of the driving portion in the radial direction of the reference rotating axis is further provided with a seventh peripheral face, an eighth peripheral face, a ninth peripheral face, a tenth peripheral face, an eleventh peripheral face, and a twelfth peripheral face, wherein the seventh peripheral face is disposed between the first peripheral face and the second peripheral face and
