Abstract
An improved socket having a drive end opening being so dimensioned for receiving a drive anvil, the opening comprising a plurality of bounding surfaces parallel to a central axis and being disposed in diametrically opposed pairs about the axis, where the diametrically opposed pairs of bounding surfaces include: at least two pairs of flat side surfaces being parallel to each other about the central axis; at least two pairs of curved recess surfaces forming respective inner corners of the drive end opening; and adjacent pairs of outwardly diverging transition surfaces transitioning between respectively adjacent pairs of the flat side surfaces and the curved recess surfaces. The improved socket increases corner radius for minimizing stress concentration at the corners and provides outwardly diverging transition surfaces for relocating the areas of maximum stress away from the corners.
