Abstract
A torque releasing clutch for a screw driver blade is installed in a connect rod, including a spring, ball holes for fitting steel balls, and a washer respectively in the holes to restrict the spring and the steel balls within the groove of the clutch so that the clutch moves forward and backward regularly. When a screw is driven in an object for a preset depth, the clutch may push forward the screw driver blade so that the torque-releasing steel balls may release the screw driver blade in time. Then, even if the screw driver should still have some torque, it might only rotate the connect rod idly, keeping the driver blade immovable. Thus the remaining torque might not damage the blade slot of the screw, in addition to avoiding the remaining torque returning to a user of the screw driver and harming the user.
