Abstract

Provided is a screwdriver. The screwdriver includes: a driver bit; a first main gear axially coupled to the driver bit; first side gears meshed with the first main gear; a second main gear disposed on a same shaft of the first main gear; second side gears meshed with the second main gear and one end of the first side gear; a coupling shaft having one end axially coupled to the second main gear; a front body for applying a rotary power to the second main gear; a rear body connected to the other end of the coupling shaft and rotatably coupled to one end of the front body for transferring power in a driver bit shaft direction; and a clutch interposed between the second main gear and the rear body for blocking a rotary power to be transferred from the front body to the second main gear.

Claims

1. A screwdriver comprising:

a driver bit for rotating a screw;

a first main gear axially coupled to one end of the driver bit;

at least one of first side gears meshed with an outer circumference of the first main gear;

a second main gear disposed on a same shaft of the first main gear with a predetermined distance separated;

at least one of second side gears meshed with an outer circumference of the second main gear and meshed with an outer circumference of one end of the first side gear at the same time;

a coupling shaft having one end axially coupled to the second main gear;

a front body housing the first and second main gears, the first and second side gears, and the coupling shaft for applying a rotary power to the second main gear by rotating itself in response to control of a user;

a rear body connected to the other end of the coupling shaft, and rotatably coupled to one end of the front body for transferring power in a shaft direction of a driver bit; and

a clutch interposed between the second main gear and the rear body for blocking a rotary power to be transferred from the front body to the second main gear if the power is transferred in the shaft direction of the driver bit from the rear body.

2. The screwdriver of claim 1, wherein a gear groove is formed at the front body to receive predetermine portions of outer circumference of the first and second side gears.

3. The screwdriver of claim 2, wherein the front body is formed to be tapered in the driver bit direction to provide an enhanced grip to a user.

4. The screwdriver of claim 2, wherein a plurality of grip holes are formed on the outer surface of the front body to prevent the screwdriver from being slipped.

5. The screwdriver of claim 1, wherein the front body is formed to be tapered in the driver bit direction to provide an enhanced grip to a user.

6. The screwdriver of claim 1, wherein a plurality of grip holes are formed on the outer surface of the front body to prevent the screwdriver from being slipped.
