Abstract

See full text

A ratcheting device is provided, comprising a sleeve member defining an axially-disposed tool bore and having a rotatably fixed gear member. A ratchet body defines an axial sleeve bore for receiving the sleeve and gear members, and two parallel ratchet member bores extending transversely to the sleeve bore through a respective opening in an outward circumferential surface of the ratchet body. The ratchet member bores are opposed about and intersect the sleeve bore. A control ferrule extends coaxially about the ratchet body. First and second ratchet members received by the ratchet member bores are normally biased outwardly toward the corresponding opening, and each includes a gear element for engaging the gear member. A bearing device is engaged with the end of the respective ratchet member toward the opening. The bearing devices cooperate with the control ferrule to control the ratcheting direction or to prevent rotation of the sleeve member with respect to the ratchet body.
