ABSTRACT:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an assembled opener having an illumination device, and especially relates to an assembled opener having a simple structure, which may be assembled easily, thereby, the front portion of a tool portion has a preferred illumination so that a user may easily operate a screw.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
A prior art assembled opener with an illumination device is shown in FIG.
7
. The primary structure thereof includes a handle a, a linkage portion b, and a tool portion c. The tool portion c may be a flat head opener, a cruciform opener, or a hexagonal opener, for example. An embedding head is installed in front of the handle a, which serves to directly or indirectly be combined with the tail portion of the linkage portion b. Another embedded head at the other end of the linkage portion b is for combining with the tool portion c. Therefore, a practical manual tool is formed.
The linkage portion is a hollow cylinder, and the rear end thereof is installed with a lamp set d. The front end of the lamp set d has a light guide structure e. The light guide structure has a defect in that due to the construction of the linkage portion b, while light within the linkage portion b transmits to the tool portion c from the light guide structure e (or a trench in the lateral side), a part of the light will be blocked by the tool portion c, and thus a shadow is formed. This is a defect in need of improvement.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Accordingly, the object of the present invention is to provide an assembled opener having an illumination device such as a lamp installed in the assembled opener. After the lamp is actuated, light will pass through a plurality of through holes of the front portion thereof and the tool portion so as to project to a screw head to be rotated, thus no shadow area is formed and the user may conveniently operate a screw.
Another object of the present invention is to provide an assembled opener with an illumination device having a simple structure. The battery can be easily changed and the lamp is easily enabled and disabled.
In order to attain the aforementioned objects, the present invention provides an assembled opener with an illumination device comprising a handle, a linkage portion, and a tool portion, wherein an illumination device is installed within the linkage portion for forming an assembled opener with an illumination device. A polygonal combining groove is formed on the rear side of the front portion of the linkage portion and a hole penetrating to the embedding head is formed on the center of the combining groove. The front end of the rear portion has a junction with respect to the combining groove, the depth of the junction being shorter than that of the combining groove. Thus, a lamp set and a battery set, are sequentially installed therebetween. In addition, a through hole is formed on the center of the tool portion.
By the aforementioned structure, when the front portion and rear portion of the linkage portion according to the present invention are combined in a predetermined position, the lamp set of the present invention will be actuated. Then, light will pass through the through holes of the front portion and the tool portion, avoiding a shadow area for convenient use. Moreover, an insulating cover covers the outer side of the battery. Other than the aforementioned insulating effect, batteries can be connected in series regardless of the number of the batteries. Thus the user may conveniently remove and replace the batteries. Moreover, manufacturing costs can be greatly reduced.
The present invention will be better understood and its numerous objects and advantages will become apparent to those skilled in the art by referencing to the following drawings in which:
