Patented Nov. 21, 1950 T ED 2; 2 14 re realm Jesse W. Simmons, Lewi ston Maine Application April 15, 1947, Serial No. 741,571
4 Claims. 1
This invention relates to wrenches and more specifically to that type of wrench adapted for inserting a screw-eye bolt.
An object of this invention is toprovide a screw-eye Wrench of simple construction and which allows the quick and easy insertion of a screw-eye bolt.
Another object of this invention is to provide a wrench for use with lag screws or bolts having openings in the head thereof for permitting insertion of the wrench.
A further object is to provide a screw-eye wrench which is inexpensive to manufacture and which is adaptable to different size screw-eye bolts.
Other and further objects and features of the invention will be apparent from the following description, when considered in connection with the accompanying drawings in which:
Fig. 1 is a side elevational view of the wrench comprising the present invention, shown partly in section to disclose the handle construction, and as applied to a screw-eye bolt.
Fig. 2 is a front elevational view of the screw eye wrench shown partly in section taken generally on line 22 of Fig. l in the direction of the arrows.
The screw-eye wrench, generally designated A, comprises a straight shank or body portion ill.
An end of this shank portion is bent at H to form a handle l2. A sleeve member I3 is placed over the handle portion [2 and rotatably secured thereon by means of a slot and key arrangement I4 at the outer end of the handle l2.
Adjacent the opposite end of the shank portion It an arcuate or curved portion 15 is provided. This curved portion is for insertion in the head or eye of a screw-eye bolt It. The are or curve of this portion is so constructed as to fit the opening in a screw-eye bolt or lag screw. On the outer edge 20 of the curved portion l5 adjacent the shank Hi there is a knob or projection l! which by coaction with the curved portion prevents the wrench from slipping when in use.
The wrench in itself may be made of any suitable material but preferably of metal. As shown in the drawings the sleeve member 13 is separate from the handle portion l2 and is adapted to revolve around the latter freely. This sleeve may be constructed of rubber or other suitable material to insure a good grip for turning the wrench.
In operation the tip portion [8 of the screw eye bolt it would preferably be started in the wall or other body l9 prior toutilization of the wrench. After such a start the curved portion It would be inserted in the head or eye portion of the screw-eye bolt as shown in Fig. 2 so that the inner edge 2! of the curved portion contacts one side of the screw-eye and the knob H, on the outer edge 20 of the curved portion, contacts the opposite side thereof. The sleeve [3 on the handle portion [2 can then be revolved in such a manner as to turn the wrench in the direction of the arrows in Fig. 2 or in a clockwise direction. Since the screw-eye bolt is threaded such a turning will cause the bolt to screw into the body I9 rapidly and easily.
It is to be understood that the wrench may be constructed in various cross sectiona1 sizes to more readily adapt the wrench to different size bolts.
I claim:
1. A screw-eye wrench or the like comprising a, straight shank portion, handle means on one end of said shank portion, an arcuate portion on the opposite end of said shank portion and a projection on the outside edge of said arcuate portion adjacent the point of merger with said straight shank portion whereby a screw-eye bolt may be easily and quickly inserted in a member without slippage by coaction of said arcuate portion and said projection with a screw-eye when said wrench is operatively associated with the screw-eye.
2. A screw-eye wrench or the like comprising a straight shank portion, handle means on one end of said shank portion and an arcuate portion adjacent the opposite end of said shank portion said arcuate portion being in a plane at right angles to the axis of said handle means and means on said arcuate portion for preventing slippage of said wrench in a screw-eye whereby a screw-eye bolt may be easily and quickly inserted in a member.
3. A screw-eye wrench or the like comprising a straight shank portion, handle means formed on an end of said shank portion at right angles thereto, an arcuate portion on the opposite end of said shank portion formed in a plane at right angles to the axis of said handle means, and a projection on the outside edge of said arcuate portion adjacent the point where said arcuate portion merges with said straight shank portion, said projection being adapted to abut against an edge of a screw-eye when said arcuate portion is inserted ina screw-eye, said arcuate portion and said projection coacting to prevent slippage of said wrench when inserting a screweye therewith.
4. A wrench for inserting a screw-eye comprising a straight shank portion, an end of said straight shank portion being bent at right angles to the remainder thereof. a rotatable sleeve on said bent portion forming a handle for the wrench, the other end of said shank portion being bent in an arcuate shape, and a projection on the outside edge of said arcuate shaped portion adjacent the point where said arcuate shaped portion merges with said straight shank portion, said arcuate shaped portion being adapted to be inserted in said screw-eye and whereby said screw-eye will be engaged on one side by the in- REFERENCES CITED The following references are of record in the file of this patent:
