Abstract
A socket wrench includes a generally cylindrical main body having a socket. A pair of opposed arms extending radially from the main body.
Description
TITLE OF THE INVENTION:
Socket Wrench NAMES) OF INVENTOR(S):
Enrique Bernel FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a socket wrench.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The preferred tool for removing a fastener that secures a rotary blade to a power saw is a socket wrench. When other tools are used, such as a crescent wrench or a pair of pliers, the fastener can become damaged. It is not practical, however, to store with a power saw a conventional socket wrench set having a handle, an adaptor and a plurality of alternative detachable sockets. A more specialized tool is required.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
What is required is an alternative form of socket wrench.
According to the present invention there is provided a socket wrench which includes a generally cylindrical main body having a socket . A pair of opposed arms extending radially from the main body.
A rotatable fastener can be positioned in the socket of the socket wrench, described above, and the body rotated by means of the opposed arms to tighten or loosen the fastener.
The socket wrench, as described, is compact and efficient to perform a specialized task.
Although beneficial results can be obtained through the use of the socket wrench, as described above, even more beneficial results may be obtained when a magnet is positioned at a remote end of the socket. The magnet holds the socket wrench in position on the rotatable fastener. This enables the ' 2 user to adjust his or her hand position during use. It also provides an option of leaving the wrench magnetically attached to the fastener during transport or, in appropriate circumstances, during use.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
These and other features of the invention will become more apparent from the following description in which reference is made to the appended drawings, wherein:
FIGURE 1 is a perspective view of a socket wrench constructed in accordance with the teachings of the present invention.
FIGURE 2 is a side elevation view of the socket wrench illustrated in FIGURE 1.
FIGURE 3 is a bottom plan view of the socket wrench illustrated in FIGURE 1.
FIGURE 4 is a top plan view of the socket wrench illustrated in FIGURE 1.
FIGURE 5 is an end elevation view of the socket wrench illustrated in FIGURE 1.
FIGURE 6 is a side elevation view, in section, of the rocket wrench illustrated in FIGURE 1.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
The preferred embodiment, a socket wrench generally identified by reference numeral 10, will now be described with reference to FIGURES 1 through 6.
Referring to FIGURE l, socket wrench 10 has a generally cylindrical main body 12 with a socket 14. Depending upon the intended application, socket 14 will vary in size and configuration. A pair of opposed arms 16 extend radially from main body 12. Referring to FIGURE 6, a magnet 18 is positioned at a remote end 20 of socket 14.
The use and operation of socket wrench 10 will now be described with reference to FIGURES 1 through 6. Referring to FIGURE 6, a fastener 22 is illustrated which, together with a positioning washer 24 holds a saw blade 26 onto a power saw 28.
In order to tighten or loosen fastener 22, socket 14 in main body 12 is positioned over fastener 22. Once socket 14 is positioned over fastener 22, main body is held in position by magnetic attraction between fastener 22 and magnet 18. Main body 12 is then rotated by means of opposed arms 16 to tighten or loosen fastener 22.
Socket wrench 10 facilitates the rapid removal of fastener 2.2 so that saw blade 26 can be replaced. It does so without causing damage to fastener 22. It is preferred fastener 22 be left in place magnetically attached to fastener 22 of power saw 2 8 at all times . When maintained as a combination considerable time can be saved at construction sites in replacing saw blades.
It will be apparent to one skilled in the art that modifications may be made to the illustrated embodiment without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as hereinafter defined in the Claims.
