DOUBLE SHULDER FEMALE SOCKET AND METHOD FOR OPTIMIZING A TORQUE TRANSMITTING RELATION BETWEEN A SOCKET WRENCH AND A DOUBLE SHOULDERED NUT

摘要

A double shoulder female socket that engages the maximum contact surface area of a double shouldered nut to transmit the optimal torque from an attached wrench socket. The double shoulder female socket includes a first shoulder and a second shoulder that engage the respective shoulders, cap, and outer walls of the double shouldered nut, so as to maximize contact and inhibit slippage and stripping. The double shoulder female socket further includes at least one first guidance channel and second guidance channel on the respective corner points that grip the nut and help guide the nut into the most efficient coupling configuration with the double shoulder female socket.

1. A double shoulder female socket for optimizing the torque transmitting relation between a wrench and a double shouldered nut, the socket comprising:
a housing, the housing defined by a mount end having a mount opening, and a nut end having a nut opening, the nut opening disposed axially opposite the mount opening; a first sidewall, the first sidewall defined by a plurality of first points and at least one first guidance channel, the first sidewall disposed to extend along the length of the housing from the nut opening to a first shoulder, the first shoulder disposed substantially perpendicular to the first sidewall; and a second sidewall, the second sidewall defined by a plurality of second points and at least one second guidance channel, the second sidewall disposed to extend along the length of the housing from the first shoulder to a second shoulder, the second shoulder disposed substantially perpendicular to the first sidewall.
