Driving Rod Assembly for Power Tool

A driving rod assembly for a power tool, comprising:

• a rod including a rear end having an insertion section configured for coupling with a rotating head of a power tool and an operative section in front of the insertion section along a longitudinal axis, wherein the rod further includes an outer periphery having a first positioning groove in a rear end of the operative section, wherein the outer periphery of the rod further includes a second positioning groove in front of the first positioning groove in the longitudinal direction, wherein a positioning portion is located between the first positioning groove and the second positioning groove, wherein the operative section includes a coupling portion in front of the second positioning groove along the longitudinal axis, wherein the coupling portion includes non-circular cross sections, wherein the coupling portion includes a rear end having a stopper edge with a width perpendicular to the longitudinal axis greater than a width of the positioning portion perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, wherein the rod further includes a coupling end at a front end of the operative section, wherein the coupling portion of the rod includes a first receptacle extending in a radial direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis and a second receptacle extending in a radial direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, wherein the second receptacle is located between the first receptacle and the coupling end along the longitudinal axis, and wherein each of the first and second receptacles receives a ball and a spring biasing the ball to partially protrude out of a corresponding one of the first receptacle and the second receptacle;
• a C-clip mounted on the positioning portion of the rod;
• and
• a jacket including a rear end having a receiving section slideably mounted around the positioning portion of the rod, wherein the jacket further includes a coupling section located in front of the receiving section and mounted around the coupling portion of the rod, wherein the coupling section of the jacket and the coupling portion of the rod are jointly rotatable about the longitudinal axis, wherein the receiving section includes an inner periphery having a coupling groove for receiving a portion of the C-clip, wherein the coupling section includes a front end having a receiving hole configured to couple with an external tool, wherein the inner periphery of the coupling section of the jacket includes a guiding groove extending along the longitudinal axis, wherein the guiding groove of the jacket slideably abuts the balls when the jacket moves relative to the rod along the longitudinal axis, wherein the C-clip is received in the first positioning groove of the rod, the jacket is mounted around the rod, the coupling groove of the jacket is coupled with the C-clip, such that the C-clip is jointly movable with the jacket between a front position and a rear position along the longitudinal axis and that the jacket is prevented from disengaging from the rod, wherein when the jacket is moved rearward to the rear position, the C-clip engages with the first coupling groove, and the coupling end of the rod is located outside of the jacket, and wherein when the jacket is moved forward to the front position, the C-clip engages with the second coupling groove, the receiving hole of the jacket is located outside of the rod, and the stopper edge abuts the C-clip to prevent the jacket in the front position from moving forward along the longitudinal axis.
