Definitions
- the present invention relates to hand tools of the type "dynamometric wrenches" making it possible to provide bolting or screwing of mechanical assemblies to a recommended torque. This proceeds from the predetermined deformation of a spring. The amplitude of deformation of the spring, obtained with each stress, is constant. The torque variation effects are proportional to the length of spring subject to deformation after adjustment.
- this body is pierced with a transverse lumen intended to receive the intermediate elements 11 for driving the screws and nuts. Adjoining this receptacle is fitted a hoop 9 which maintains the thickest end of the leaf spring 8 along the body 1, and the assembly is secured by a bolted axis.
- the other end of the body receives a hollow pivoting handle 5 which partially fits in and envelops all the active elements of the key, cam 2 with its return spring, rocker arm 3 and damping block 4.
- An adjusting screw (which can, if necessary, be made inviolable by existing means for carburetor jets for example) allows the tool to be recalibrated according to wear.
- this reversible tool ensures both right tightening and left tightening. He is precise and faithful. Its construction is simple (reduced number of components and wide adjustment tolerances). His reduced head and slim body allow him the best access.
- the leaf spring releases part of the accumulated force by pushing back the rocker arm through its point of contact with the roller, and its return effect is stopped at its free end by the block. damper.
- the resulting shock constitutes the expected tactile and auditory signal.
- the leaf spring supports a residual tension lower than the nominal torque displayed since its free length increased while its torsion decreased. Consequently, the body of the tool retains its angular position, while even carried away by its momentum, the operator's hand only accentuates the rotational movement of the handle.
- This subsidiary effect is limited by the rise in tension of the leaf spring and, at the end of the stroke, by the contact of the safety stop with the body of the tool. It is during this period that the physiological reflex intervenes to interrupt the tightening action.

Abstract
L'invention concerne les outillages a main permettant le serrage de la boulonnerie mecanique a un couple determine. Elle procede de la deformation d'une lame de ressort de profit caracteristique (8). Elle revendique: la presence d'un dispositif de pseudo-debrayage de la poignee (5) par rapport au corps (1) de l'outil, l'elargissement de la gamme de valeurs de serrage, par l'adaptation de 3 jeux differents de l'ensemble constitue par la frette (9), le curseur (10) et la lame ressort (8), l'utilisation inconditionnelle dans le sens du desserrage, la presence d'une vis (7) de reglage et de correction d'usure. Ces dispositions constituent un progres appreciable dans la conception des cles dynamometriques commercialisees actuellement.The invention relates to hand tools for tightening the mechanical bolts to a determined torque. It proceeds from the deformation of a characteristic profit spring leaf (8). It claims: the presence of a pseudo-clutch device of the handle (5) relative to the body (1) of the tool, the widening of the range of tightening values, by the adaptation of 3 different games of the assembly constituted by the hoop (9), the cursor (10) and the leaf spring (8), the unconditional use in the direction of loosening, the presence of a screw (7) for adjusting and correcting d 'wear. These provisions constitute appreciable progress in the design of the dynamometric keys currently on the market.
