DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Referring to the drawings and initially to FIGS. 1-6, a dual-directional socket connector structure in accordance with a first embodiment of the present invention comprises a base 10, and two drive rods 20 and 30.

The base 10 has a first end formed with a drive head 11 protruded outward therefrom. A circular hole 13 is axially formed in the drive head 11, and a ball receiving hole 16 is transversely formed in the drive head 11. The base 10 has a second end formed with a drive head 12 protruded outward therefrom. A circular hole 14 is axially formed in the drive head 12, and a ball receiving hole 17 is transversely formed in the drive head 12. A connecting hole 15 is formed in the base 10, and is communicated with the circular holes 13 and 14. The connecting hole 15 has a diameter smaller than that of the circular hole 13 and 14.

The drive rod 20 is slidably mounted in the circular hole 13, and is formed with a bi-directional ball receiving cavity 21, and a push bar 22. The bi-directional ball receiving cavity 21 aligns with the ball receiving hole 16. A ball 40 is received in the ball receiving hole 16, and is locked in a space formed by the ball receiving hole 16 of the drive head 11 and the bi-directional ball receiving cavity 21 of the drive rod 20.

The drive rod 30 is slidably mounted in the circular hole 14, and is formed with a bi-directional ball receiving cavity 31, and a push hole 32. The bi-directional ball receiving cavity 31 aligns with the ball receiving hole 17. A ball 40 is received in the ball receiving hole 17, and is locked in a space formed by the ball receiving hole 17 of the drive head 12 and the bidirectional ball receiving cavity 31 of the drive rod 30.

The push bar 22 of the drive rod 20Lis in turn extended through an elastic member 50 received in the circular hole 13, the connecting hole 15, an elastic member 50 received in the circular hole 14, and is inserted into the push hole 32 of the drive rod 30.

In operation, referring to FIGS. 4 and 5, if the drive head 12 is fitted into a socket (not shown), the drive rod 20 may be pressed to compress the elastic member 50 and to move the drive rod 30, thereby aligning the upper end of the bidirectional ball receiving cavity 31 of the drive rod 30 with the ball receiving hole 17 of the drive head 12, so that the ball 40 may be retracted into the upper end of the bi-directional ball receiving cavity 31 of the drive rod 30. Thus, the drive head 12 may be detached from the socket easily and quickly, without having to apply a large force for detaching the drive head 12 from the socket. The drive rod 20 may then be released, and may be returned to its original position as shown in FIG. 4 by the restoring force of the elastic member 50.

Alternatively, referring to FIGS. 4 and 6, if the drive head 11 is fitted into a socket (not shown), the drive rod 30 may be pressed to compress the elastic member 50 and to move the drive rod 20, thereby aligning the lower end of the bi-directional ball receiving cavity 21 of the drive rod 20 with the ball receiving hole 16 of the drive head 11, so that the ball 40 may be retracted into the lower end of the bi-directional ball receiving cavity 21 of the drive rod 20. Thus, the drive head 11 may be detached from the socket easily and quickly, without having to apply a large force for detaching the drive head 11 from the socket. The drive rod 30 may then be released, and may be returned to its original position as shown in FIG. 4 by the restoring force of the elastic member 50.

The drive heads 11 and 12 may have different sizes, so that the dual-directional socket connector structure in accordance with the present invention may be used to fit sockets of two different sizes.

Referring to FIG. 7, the dual-directional socket connector structure in accordance with the present invention may co-operate with a ratchet wrench 60. The base 10 of the dual-directional socket connector structure has an outer periphery formed with annular teeth 18 received in the receiving recess 61 of the ratchet wrench 60 and engaged with the reversible structure of the ratchet wrench 60.

Referring to FIG. 8, the base 10 of the dual-directional socket connector structure in accordance with the present invention has one side provided with an elongated drive rod 19 for driving and rotating a socket in an energy saving manner.

Referring to FIG. 9, the base 10 of the dual-directional socket connector structure in accordance with the present invention has one side formed with a hole for insertion of an elongated drive rod 70 for driving and rotating a socket in an energy saving manner.

Referring to FIGS. 10-12, the dual-directional socket connector structure in accordance with a second embodiment of the present invention only comprises a drive rod 30 which is formed by integrally combining the original two drive rods 20 and 30. The drive rod 30 has two ends each formed with a bi-directional ball receiving cavity 31, and a mediate portion formed with an annular flange 33 on which the two elastic members 50 are rested. The connecting hole 15 is undefined. A washer 80 is mounted on one end of the drive rod 30, thereby preventing the drive rod 30 vibrating in the circular hole 14 of the drive head 12.

In operation, referring to FIGS. 11 and 12 with reference to FIG. 10, the drive rod 30 may be pressed to compress the elastic member 50 and to move in the circular holes 13 and 14, thereby aligning the upper end of the bi-directional ball receiving cavity 31 of the drive rod 30 with the ball receiving hole 16 and 17 of the drive head 11 and 12, so that the ball 40 may be retracted into the upper end of the bi-directional ball receiving cavity 31 of the drive rod 30. Thus, the drive head 12 may be detached from the socket easily and quickly, without having to apply a large force for detaching the drive head 12 from the socket. The drive rod 30 may then be released, and may be returned to its original position as shown in FIG. 11 by the restoring force of the elastic member 50.

Referring to FIGS. 13-15, the dual-directional socket connector structure in accordance with a third embodiment of the present invention only comprises a drive rod 30 which is formed by integrally combining the original two drive rods 20 and 30. The drive rod 30 has two ends each formed with a bi-directional ball receiving cavity 31, and a mediate portion formed with an annular flange 33 on which the two elastic members 50 are rested. The connecting hole 15 is undefined. The drive head 12 is separated from the base 10, and is secured in a square seat 101 formed in the base 10. A washer 80 is mounted on one end of the drive rod 30, thereby preventing the drive rod 30 vibrating in the circular hole 14 of the drive head 12.

In operation, referring to FIGS. 14 and 15 with reference to FIG. 13, the drive rod 30 may be pressed to compress the elastic member 50 and to move in the circular holes 13 and 14, thereby aligning the upper end of the bi-directional ball receiving cavity 31 of the drive rod 30 with the ball receiving hole 16 and 17 of the drive head 11 and 12, so that the ball 40 may be retracted into the upper end of the bi-directional ball receiving cavity 31 of the drive rod 30. Thus, the drive head 12 may be detached from the socket easily and quickly, without having to apply a large force for detaching the drive head 12 from the socket. The drive rod 30 may then be released, and may be returned to its original position as shown in FIG. 14 by the restoring force of the elastic member 50.

Accordingly, in the dual-directional socket connector structure in accordance with the present invention, when the first drive head is fitted into a socket, the drive rod of the second drive head may be pressed, so as to detach the first drive head from the socket easily and quickly, so that the dual-directional socket connector structure of the present invention may be used to fit sockets of two different sizes.

Although the invention has been explained in relation to its preferred embodiment as mentioned above, it is to be understood that many other possible modifications and variations can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. It is, therefore, contemplated that the appended claim or claims will cover such modifications and variations that fall within the true scope of the invention.
