A reversing device for a ratchet wrench comprises a body of the ratchet wrench, a ratchet wheel, a left engaging member, a right engaging member, a left spring, a right spring, a control member, and a control cover. Both of the left and right engaging members, when subjected to a force, will not be in contact with the control member, so that, the problem that the left or right engaging member, when subjected to a force, will push the control member to reversely rotate and cause slippage, can be solved. |

1. A reversing device for a ratchet wrench, comprising:
a body of the ratchet wrench including a handle portion, a head portion connected to the handle portion, a receiving cavity formed in the head portion, a left groove, a right groove, a left pivot groove, a right pivot groove which are formed on an inner surface of the receiving cavity, and a hole formed in the bottom of the receiving cavity; a ratchet wheel pivotally disposed in the head portion and including a work portion, a first pivot portion inserted in the hole, a ratchet portion connected to the first pivot portion and pivotally disposed in the receiving cavity, and a second pivot portion connected to the ratchet portion; a left engaging member pivotally disposed in the head portion and including a left pivot portion pivotally disposed in the left pivot groove, a left toothed portion selectively engaged with the ratchet portion, a left abutting surface formed between the left pivot portion and the left toothed portion and located toward the ratchet portion, and a left push surface formed between the left pivot portion and the left toothed portion and located toward the left groove; a right engaging member pivotally disposed in the head portion and including a right pivot portion pivotally disposed in the right pivot groove, a right toothed portion selectively engaged with the ratchet portion, a right abutting surface formed between the right pivot portion and the right toothed portion and located toward the ratchet portion, and a right push surface formed between the right pivot portion and the right toothed portion and located toward the right groove; a left spring disposed between the left engaging member and the left groove and including a first left end to be abutted against the left groove, and a second left end which is pushed against the left push surface to push the left toothed portion to move toward the ratchet portion; a right spring disposed between the right engaging member and the right groove and including a first right end to be abutted against the right groove, and a second right end which is pushed against the right push surface to push the right toothed portion to move toward the ratchet portion; a control member pivotally disposed in the head portion and including a first pivot hole for insertion of the second pivot portion of the ratchet wheel, a left protrusion selectively pushed against the left abutting surface of the left engaging member, a left concave portion for accommodation of the left pivot portion of the left engaging member, a right protrusion selectively pushed against the right abutting surface of the right engaging member, a right concave portion for accommodation of the right pivot portion of the right engaging member; and a control cover pivotally disposed in the head portion to cover the receiving cavity and including a second pivot hole for insertion of the second pivot portion, and an inserting portion inserted in the control member to push the control member to rotate; when the control cover turns the control member to a first position, the left and right protrusions of the control member are pushed against the left and right abutting surfaces of the left and right engaging members to make the left and right toothed portions of the left and right engaging members disengage from the ratchet portion of the ratchet wheel; when the control cover turns the control member to a second position, the left protrusion of the control member is pushed against the left abutting surface of the left engaging member to make the left toothed portion disengage from the ratchet portion of the ratchet wheel, the right protrusion of the control member is not pushed against the right abutting surface of the right engaging member to make the right toothed portion of the right engaging member engage with the ratchet portion of the ratchet wheel; when the control cover turns the control member to a third position, where the right protrusion of the control member is pushed against the right abutting surface of the right engaging member to make the right toothed portion disengage from the ratchet portion of the ratchet wheel, and the left protrusion of the control member is not pushed against the left abutting surface of the left engaging member to make the left toothed portion of the left engaging member engage with the ratchet portion of the ratchet wheel. |
