Abstract
An apparatus for applying torque to a body includes a base defining an inner chamber. The apparatus includes a plurality of pins supported by base and disposed in the inner chamber, the plurality of pins moveable relative to the base between engaged positions and disengaged positions. The apparatus includes a trigger actuatable to move at least one of the plurality of pins to the disengaged position.
Claims19
An apparatus for applying torque to a body, the apparatus comprising:
- a base defining an inner chamber;
- a plurality of pins that includes at least a first pin and a second pin, the plurality of pins supported by the base and disposed in the inner chamber, each pin of the plurality of pins moveable relative to the base between an engaged position and disengaged position;
- a first trigger actuatable to move the first pin of the plurality of pins to the disengaged position;
- a second trigger actuatable to move the second pin of the plurality of pins to the disengaged position;
- and
- a cam supported by and pivotable relative to the base, the first pin fixed to the cam, the cam positioned relative to the base to move the first pin toward the engaged position upon rotation of the base in a first direction and to move the first pin toward the disengaged position upon rotation of the base in a second direction opposite the first direction.
