WRENCH RACK Filed Oct. 26, 1931 II INVENTOR J ATTORNEY Patented June 7, 1932 UNITED STATES JOHN E. WHITTAKER, OF ST. LOUIS, OKLAHOMA WRENCH RACK Application filed October 26, 1931.
The invention relates to a rack construc tion and more particularly to a rod wrench rack for use at oil Wells.
The primary object of the invention is the provision of a rack of this character wherein the same can be detachably engaged upon a stand pipe or upright and to be disposed in a position for the hanging of rod wrenches thereon so that these will be held for easy access by a workman, as the wrenches will be supported for selection by such workman with dispatch, the rack being of novel form so that it can be removably connected with a support to be disposed at the proper height convenient to the workman and is also readily portable as well as susceptible of adjustment.
Another object of the invention is the provision of a rack of this character, wherein the clamp for attachment thereof is of novel form and is secured to a vertical support so that the rack will be firmly held and will support a number of wrenches, such as rod wrenches for free accessibility of the same.
A further object of the invention is the provision of a rack of thischarac-ter, which is extremely simple in construction, thoroughly reliable and eflicient in its purpose, the wrenches when engaged thereon will be supported and prevented from accidental dropping therefrom, the said rack being strong, durable and inexpensive to manufacture.
With these and other objects in view, this invention consists in certain novel features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter more fully described and claimed.
In the accompanying drawing Figure 1 is a top plan View of a rack con-' structed in accordance with the invention, the same being shown applied to a pipe or support, the latter being shown in horizontal section while several rod wrenches are disclosed by dotted lines in position upon the rack.
Figure 2 is a sectional view on the line 22 of Figure 1 looking in the direction of the arrows.
Figure 3 is a sectional view on the line 3-3 of Figure 1 looking in the direction of Serial No. 571,211.
the arrows, the retaining wedge for the clamp of the rack being shown by dotted lines in hanging position and by full lines engaged in the clamp.
Similar reference characters denote corresponding parts throughout the several views of the drawing:
Referring to the drawing in detail the rack comprises a frame A, including a hanger rod or bar 5 formed with pairs of spaced reversely directed extensions 6 and 7 respectively,
these being preferably integral with said bar or rod. Adj oined with the extension 6 in any suitable manner is apair of outwardly and upwardly curved side brackets 8, each being formed with a perforated boss 9 removable from its upper end and in which is fastened as at 10 a brace 11, this being made fast to vthe extension 7 on the bar or rod 5.
or red 5 as clearly illustrated in the drawing 7 so that such wrenches are racked in this fashion for free accessability.
The rod 5 is threaded at 15 for a distance of the extended ends 15 of said rod or bar for the engagement of the same in a bifurcated or forked clamp 17 which is designed for styling a stand pipe or vertical upright 18 and this clamp 17 is transversely slotted at 19 to accommodate the wedging key 20 carried by a chain 21 attached at 22 to said clamp, the wedging key being adapted to work against the pipe or upright 18 when inserted and turned into the slots 20 in the clamp 17 when the latter embraces the pipe or upright so that the clamp will be firmly and securely engaged therewith.
The threaded end 16 of the rod or bar 5 carries a jamb nut 23 engaging the thread 15 and working against the clamp 17 so that in this manner the latter and the rod or bar 5 can be adjustably coupled together. Thus in the use of the jamb nut 23 on the end 16 of the rod or bar 5, the rack can be angularly adjusted relative to a horizontal plane for the reception and racking of the wrenches B in a fashion as is shown in the drawing. These wrenches when racked are readily accessible for use by a workman. The braces 11 for the brackets 8 will prevent the wrenches B when racked from working off of the rail 13 to eliminate accidental dropping of the wrenches from the rack.
By use of the clamp 17 and its wedging key 20 the said rack can be attached and de tached in a convenient manner to and from a pipe or upright 18 with dispatch.
The wedging key 20 permits the clamp to be firmly engaged with pipes or uprights 18 slightly varying in cross sectional area or size and this key operates to secure the clamp thereon.
What is claimed is A rack of the kind described comprising a clamp for detachable engagement with an upright, a rod adjustably engaged with the clamp, side brackets carried by the rod, a hanger rail carried by the said brackets for accommodating rod wrenches thereon with the same resting upon said rod, means on the rod and coacting with the clamp to sustain the rod adjustably connected with said clamp, and a wedging key associated with the clamp for firmly securing the latter to an upright.
In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.
JOHN E. WHI'TTAKER.
