QUICK-ADJUSTABLE WRENCH.
Specificationof Letters Patent.
Patented Aug. 5, 1919.
Application filed December 1, 1917. Serial No. 204,839.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, WILLIAM LOUIS BnssoLo, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of San Diego, in the county of San Diego and State of California, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Quick Adjustable Wrenches, of which the following is a specification.
My present invention relates generally to wrenches, and particularly to one of that type having engaging jaws one of which is movable with respect to the other, my improvements relating to the connection between the parts brought about by their particular construction and relation whereby the movable jaw may be quickly and accurately positioned without the necessity of rotating parts and other more or less complicated and expensive connections.
These improvements are preferably embodied in the construction as shown in the accompanying drawing, forming a part of this specification and wherein:
Figure 1 is a side elevation thereof.
Fig. 2 is a horizontal section taken substantially on line 22 of Fig. 1, looking in the direction of the arrow.
Fig. 3 is a similar view looking in the opposite direction, and
Fig. 4 is a vertical section taken substantially on line 4-4 of Fig. 1.
In the invention as thus shown, the rigid jaw 10 has its shank in two parts, that part upon which it is directly mounted and as indicated at 11, being threaded and extended through and engaged by an adjusting nut 12, the latter of which is movably mounted within the cut-out portion of an otherwise substantially solid adjusting bracket 13, to which the adjacent end of the other part 14 of the shank of the jaw 10 is pivotally connected at 15. The movable jaw 16 is slidably mounted upon the portion 11 of the shank of the jaw 10 and is freely shiftable at all times between the jaw 10 and the upper or outer face of the adjusting bracket 18. It is obvious that in this construction, in which the movable shank 17 is pivotally connected at its outer end at 18 to the movable jaw and is provided with ratchet teeth 19 engaging similar ratchet teeth 20 of the portion 14 of the jaw 10, the jaw 10 may be suitably spaced in the first instance, from the movable jaw 16 by virtue of its adjustment through the action of the adjusting nut 12 engaging the threaded portion of the part 11 of its shank.
It is also obvious that the construction of the invention as thus explained provides for more rigid manufacture as well as for greater convenience and effect in use.
I claim:
1. A wrench comprising a pair of shanks arranged to parallel one another and provided with relatively engaging ratchet teeth, a jaw rigidly disposed at one end of said shanks, a aw pivotally connected to one end of the other shank and slidably engaging a portion of the shank of the first jaw, said shank of said rigid jaw being in two parts having pivotal connections and means for adjusting one of said shank parts with respect to the other.
2. A wrench comprising a pair of shanks arranged to parallel one another and one of which includes a portion having with the other shank, relatively engaging teeth, the other portion of said first named shank having a threaded section, an adjusting bracket having a rotating nut and through which and through said nut the threaded section of said shank portion extends, a pivotal connection between the said adjusting bracket and the toothed portion of said shank, a jaw rigid with the threaded portion of said shank, and a second jaw slidably adjustable upon the threaded portion of said shank between the said adjusting bracket and the said rigid head, and to which one end of the other shank is pivotally connected.
WILLIAM LOUIS BESSOLO.
