ABSTRACT:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates generally to a lighting device of the socket wrench, and more particularly to a structure designed for adjusting the illuminating angle of the lighting device of the socket wrench.
BACKGROUND
The socket wrench is an ubiquitous hand tool; it is a very useful hand tool that is commonly used in the work shop, factory, school, and private home. The conventional socket wrench is provided with a lighting device to facilitate the operating of the socket wrench in a dark or poorly-lit place. The lighting device of the conventional socket wrench is defective in design because the lighting device is not provided with a means to adjust the angle at which the lighting device illuminates, thereby undermining the maneuverability of the socket wrench in the dark or poor-lit work place.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is therefore the primary objective of the present invention to provide a socket wrench with a lighting device which is free from the shortcoming of the lighting device of the socket wrench of the prior art.
In keeping with the principle of the present invention, the foregoing objective of the present invention is attained by a socket wrench comprising a socket, a handle, and a handle body in which an illuminating element is disposed. The handle is provided with a threaded hole and a threaded rod which is engaged with the threaded hole. The illuminating element has an extension guide body which is put through a swiveling tube capable of being actuated by the threaded rod to adjust the illuminating angle of the illuminating element in relation to the position level of the socket of the socket wrench.
The foregoing objective, features and functions of the present invention will be more readily understood upon a thoughtful deliberation of the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.
