TOOL FOR HOLDING A FASTENER WHILE STARTING IT INTO WORK Filed July 3,1955
INVENTOR. W/LL/AM. 5 8/6415, //d BY TOOL FOR HOLDING A FASTENER WHILE STARTING IT INTO WORK William B. Biblis, North Lawrence, Ohio Application July 3, 1953, Serial No. 365,867
2 Claims. (Cl. 149.8)
This invention relates to a tool for holding a fastener While starting it into work and has for its primary object to support a fastening element such as a nail, screw, or corrugated fastener in a position to be driven into work.
Another object is to facilitate the release of the fastener after it has been started into the work so that it may be driven home.
The above and other objects may be attained by employing this invention which embodies among its features a pair of jaws having mating fastener receiving recesses in adjacent edges, a pivot connecting the jaws together adjacent one end of the tool, and yielding means connecting the opposite ends of the jaws and urging said jaws toward one another and into clamping engagement with fasteners seated in the recesses.
Other features include a pair of substantially semicircular guards, a hinge coupling said guards together intermediate their ends of movement in intersecting arcuate paths from an open position in which the guards lie in spaced parallel relation, to a closed position in which the guards define a tubular sheath, jaws carried by the guards adjacent one end of the tool, and the jaws having mating fastener receiving recesses extending therethrough.
Still other features include a relatively flat elongated body, an arm carried by the body and extending outwardly therefrom adjacent one end thereof, said arm having an internally screw threaded handle receiving opening extending therethrough in parallel relation to the body, a foot carried by the body and extending our.- wardly therefrom adjacent the end thereof remote from and in a direction opposite the arm, a fixed jaw carried by the foot and having fastener receiving recesses extending therethrough and opening through the edge thereof remote from the body, and a movable jaw carried by the foot for movement toward and away from the fixed jaw for cooperating with the fixed jaw in holding a fastener during its introduction into work.
In the drawings:
Figure 1 is a plan view of a fastener holder embody ing the features of this invention;
Figure 2 is a side view in elevation of the holder illustrated in Figure 1;
Figure 3 is a bottom plan view of the holder;
Figure 4 is a sectional view taken substantially on the line 4-4 of Figure 2.
Referring to the drawings in detail, this improved fastener holder designated generally comprises a pair of jaw members 12 and 14 hingedly connected together adjacent one end by a hinge 16 and having in adjacent faces recesses 20 and 22 for receiving the shanks of fasteners such as screws or nails. The jaws are also provided intermediate their ends in adjacent faces with undulations 24 and 26 respectively which mate with one another for receiving a conventional corrugated fastener.
Formed in the jaw 12 is an internally screw threaded recess 28 for the reception of the threaded end 30 of a handle 32.
Carried by the jaw 14 and extending outwardly from the end thereof remote from the hinge 16 is a pin 34, and formed in the jaw 12 is an internally screw threaded opening 36 in which is threaded a set screw 38 which is adapted to impinge on the threaded end 30 of the handle 32 to lock the handle against rotation once the parts have been assembled. This set screw also serves as an anchor for one end of a retractile coil spring 40, the 0pposite end of which is connected to the pin 34 to yieldingly hold the jaws 12 and 14 together.
In use, it will be understood that fasteners may be supported in the recesses 20 and 22 or 24 and 26 of the jaw members 12 and 14 and by resting the closed jaw members on the work, the fasteners may be started into the work without requiring any preliminary preparation of the work, and after the fastener has been started into the work, the jaw members may be opened against the efiort of the spring 40 to free the fastener for removal of the tool so as to leave the fastener free for driving home.
While in the foregoing there has been shown and described the preferred embodiment of this invention, it is to be understood that minor changes in the details of construction, combination and arrangement of parts may be resorted to without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as claimed.
What is claimed is:
1. A tool for holding a fastener while starting it into work comprising a pair of jaws having mating fastener receiving recesses in adjacent edges, a pivot connecting the jaws together adjacent one end of the tool, and yielding means connecting the opposite ends of the jaws and urging said jaws toward one another and into clamping engagement with fasteners seated in the recesses, one of said jaws having an internally screw threaded socket extending thereinto, and a handle threadedly engaged with the threads in the socket and extending outwardly from the tool adjacent one end thereof.
2. A tool for holding a fastener while starting it into work comprising a pair of jaws having mating fastener receiving recesses in adjacent edges, a pivot connecting the jaws together adjacent one end of the tool, yielding means connecting the opposite ends of the jaws and urging said jaws toward one another and into clamping engagement with fasteners seated in the recesses, one of said jaws having an internally screw threaded opening extending therethrough in parallel relation to the pivot, a substantially L-shaped handle threadedly engaged in the opening, and a set screw extending into the jaw having the threaded opening and impinging on the handle to hold said handle against rotation in the threaded opening.
