A coupling structure of a variable length shaft, comprises a pipe member having an end formed with a plurality of slits elongated in the axial direction to be capable of expanding and diminishing in diameter, an intermediate shaft spline-fitted in the end of the pipe member, and a ring member fitted on an outer periphery of the end of the pipe member, the intermediate shaft being fastened by the end of the pipe member. A holder is releasably attached to an end of the ring member to expand a diameter thereof and thereby reduce a slide frictional resistance of the pipe member against the intermediate shaft. When the holder is released, the ring member diminishes in diameter, and a fastening force of the pipe member on the intermediate shaft is increased.

A holder supported by an arm comprises a metallic reinforcing member and a plastic holder hole forming member filled in an opening formed in the reinforcing member. Holder holes are formed in the holder hole forming member, and a coil spring and electroconductive needle members are installed in each holder hole to thereby provide a contact probe having two moveable ends. Because the holder is essentially made of the metallic member, the mechanical strength of the holder can be improved over that formed strictly from plastic material. Therefore, the contact probe holder would not suffer from dimensional changes of the holder owing to aging compounded by temperature changes for testing (tests under high temperature conditions) and residual stress so that the change in the pitch of the holder holes can be avoided, and a high level of precision can be ensured. Therefore, the contact probe allows tests to be conducted in a stable manner over an extended period of time.

A screwdriver device where rotational torque directly applied to the device by an external force can be drastically reduced in screw tightening operation. The screwdriver device has characteristic construction means having a device body (1) and a male-type head section (21). The device body (1) is constructed by layering over each other piezoelectric elements (3, 4) in a screwdriver device (alpha2), the piezoelectric elements (3, 4) generating predetermined ultrasonic vibration with application of a predetermined AC voltage, and based on the ultrasonic vibration, the device body (1) excites mechanical vibration in a predetermined direction on a vibration end surface (1a) of the device body (1). The male-type head section (21) is formed so that it can fit in a female-type engraved marking (103) in a screw (beta1) and is integrally fixed with the device body (1) on the vibration end surface (1a) of the device body (1). The male-type head section (21) applies rotational torque, directly applied to the screwdriver device (alpha2) by an external force, to the screw (beta1) in which the female-type engraved marking (103) is fitted and contact, and also the male-type head section (21) transmits to the screwdriver device (alpha2) mechanical vibration in a predetermined direction excited by the device body (1).
