WRENCH.
Specification of Letters Patent.
- Patented July 2o, 1921.
Application filed March 14, 1921. Serial No. 451,956.
To all wizom it may concern Be it known that I, SILAs L. TAYLOR, a citizen of the United States, residing at VVileyville, in the county of Wetzel and State of W est Virginia, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Wrenches, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to new and useful improvements in wrenches, and the primary object of the invention is to provide a wrench which will automatically adjust itself to any size nut to which the same is adapted to be applied and which will also fit or grip any size pipe or rod to which it is applied.
Another object of the invention resides in providing a wrench of this character which is composed of few and simple parts and which will most eii'ectively carry out the purpose for whichthe same is designed.
A still further object resides in providing a device which is simple and durable in construction, inexpensive to manufacture and one which will be very efficient in use.
In the accompanying drawing forming a part of this application- Figure 1 is a plan view of my improved wrench with the jaws in open position;
Fig. 2 is a similar view with the jaws in closed position;
Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the sliding jaw with the wrench removed;
Fig. 4 is a similar view of the stationary jaw; and
Fig. 5'is a side elevation of the wrench.
In describing the invention I shall refer to the drawings in which similar reference characters designate corresponding parts throughout the several views and in which the numeral '1 designates a shank provided with a sleeve '2, the outer end of said shank having what will be termed for convenience a stationary jaw 3 thereon. Slidably received in the sleeve 2 is a shank 4; upon the outer end of which is formed an. additional jaw 5 which for convenience will be termed the movable jaw. The shank 4 is off-set adjacent the jaw 5 to provide a shoulder 6 which abuts the outer edge of the sleeve 2 to limit the inward sliding movement of the shank and the jaw.
The inner end of the shank 1 is curved outwardly to form a projection 7 and pivotally connected with the inner end of the shank 4: is a link 8. A handle member 9 is prov ded, the inner end of which is somewhat Y-shaped to provide the projections 1 and 11, said projections being respectively pivoted to the projection 7 and one end of the link 8.
Thus, it will be seen that the handle 9 has pivotal connection with the shank of the stationary jaw and also has pivotal connection with the link, which in turn is connected with the slidable or movable jaw, and by a movement of this handle member 9 in one direction or the other the jaw 5 is moved outwardly or inwardly with respect to the stationary jaw 3.
From the foregoing it will be seen that it is only necessary to move the handle 9 in one direction to open the jaws and permit the same to receive a nut, a pipe or other member therebetween, and by a movement of the handle in the opposite direction, these jaws are gripped against the member therebetween so that said member may be turned or acted upon as desired.
While I have shown the jaws 3 and 5 fiat it will be understood that the same may be corrugated or toothed if found desirable.
Thus it will be seen that I have provided a simple, inexpensive and eflicient means for carrying out the objects of the invention, and while I have particularly described the elements best adapted to perform the functions set forth, it is obvious that various changes in form, proportion and in the minor details of construction may be resorted to without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the principles of the invention.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim is A wrench of the class described, comprising a stationary jaw, a shank formed thereon and provided with an elongated sleeve, the end of said shank opposite said jaw being curved outwardly to form a projection thereon, a movable jaw, a shank formed thereon slidably arranged in said sleeve, a
handle member having its innerend portion designed Y-shaped to form a palrof projections, one projection of said handle member being pivoted to the projection on the first mentioned shank, and a link member pivoted at its one end to the inner end of the second mentioned shank and pivoted at its opposite end to the other projection on said handle member, whereby through oscillation of the handle member said movable jaw is disposed to its open and closed position.
In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.
SILAS L. TAYLOR.
