Abstract
Various embodiments of a handle for tools, such as driving tools, such as screwdrivers, are provided. The embodiments shown and described herein include varying radii along the longitudinal axis of the handle, thereby facilitating the user interfacing with the handle, and thus also the tool, in different methods of use, such as quicker rotation, lower torque, and higher torque.
Claims7
A screwdriver comprising:
- a handle extending along a longitudinal axis from a first end to a second end, the handle defining:
- a first radius with respect to the longitudinal axis at a first distance from the first end to the second end;
- a second radius with respect to the longitudinal axis at a second distance from the first end to the second end that is greater than the first distance, wherein the second radius is greater than the first radius;
- a third radius with respect to the longitudinal axis at a third distance from the first end to the second end that is greater than the second distance, wherein the third radius is less than the first radius, wherein an exterior surface of the handle at the third distance from the first end to the second end is parallel to the longitudinal axis;
- and
- a fourth radius with respect to the longitudinal axis at a fourth distance from the first end to the second end that is greater than the third distance, wherein the fourth radius is less than the third radius;
- and
- an operative component rigidly coupled to the second end, the operative component is configured to interface with a fastener.
