Definitions
- This invention relates generally to a wrench, and more specifically to a wrench for thread cutting nuts.
- the primary object of this invention is to provide a new and improved type of wrench for thread cutting nuts.
- Another object of this invention is to provide a wrench which is adaptable to accommodate the various types of handles, and also various size thread cutting nuts.
- a further object of this invention is to produce a simple and inexpensive device and yet one which will be exceedingly elfective for the purpose for which it is designed.
- Figure 1 is a perspective view of the wrench comprising the present invention, illustrating a thread cutting nut secured to the wrench, and a handle attached for turning this wrench;
- Figure 2 is a perspective view of the nut engaging portion of the wrench
- Figure 3 is a perspective view illustrating a handle engaging portion of the wrench
- Figure 4 is a vertical sectional view taken through the wrench and illustrating its use in attaching a nut to an automobile medallion for example;
- Figure 5 is a perspective view of a thread cutting nut for which the wrench was adapted for use.
- the numeral generally designates the wrench comprising the present invention.
- a thread cutting nut 12 is engaged by this wrench, and a wrench handle 14 engages this Wrench.
- the wrench 10 comprises a cylindrical body portion 16 having a central longitudinally extending bore therethrough, this bore having a polygonal shaped lower section 18, and a circular upper portion 20.
- a counterbore 22 is formed at the upper portion of lower section 18.
- the upper portion of the wrench 10 has two pairs of U-- shaped slots or grooves 24 and 26 formed on the upper surface thereof. It will be noticed that the slots 24 are formed deeper than slots 26, so as to accommodate a smaller thread cutting nut. Thus, the particular wrench illustrated in Figure 2 is adapted to accommodate two size thread cutting nuts. However, it will of course be realized, that these wrenches may be designed to accommodate a great number of different size thread cutting nuts.
- Thread cutting nut 12 generally comprises a flat circular portion 28 having upstanding flanges 30 diametrically spaced about the peripheral edge of portion 28. Downwardly depending pointed sections 32 extend downwardly from the peripheral edge of flat portion 28 at a point adjacent flanges 30.
- An offset slot 34 is formed United States Patent Ofiice centrally inthread cutting nut 12, and this slot has extending inwardly about the edges thereof, thread cutting points 36, which act to cut threads onto a rod, when thread cutting nut 12 is rotated thereon.
- a handle 14 is attached to wrench 10.
- This handle 14 generally consists of a centrally disposed shaft 38, having an extension 40 of crosssection so as to adapt itself for insertion into bore 18, extending from the outer end of shaft 38 thereof.
- the ratchet mechanism 42 is attached at the other end of shaft 38, and another shaft 44 extends outwardly therefrom.
- a hand-engaging portion 46 extends transversely of shaft 44 so as to more easily adapt handle proper 14 for turning.
- the thread cutting nut 12 In use, the thread cutting nut 12 would be secured onto the wrench, by snapping flanges 30 into one set of slots, either 24 or 26 depending on the size. Then, as may be seen in Fig. 4, by means of wrench 10, the nut 12 may be threaded onto projecting stud 48, and as the wrench turns the thread cutting nut, threads 50 are cut into stud 48, by. the sharp points 36. In this manner, the name plate 52 may be secured to support 54.
- a wrench for use particularly with fasteners of the type formed of a circular plate having a central opening formed therein and opposed upwardly extending flanges attached to the plate, said wrench comprising a body having a bore formed in one end thereof, said bore being of sufficient dimensions to accommodate for relative rotation therein a rod to which the fastener is to be connected, 2. pair of opposed grooves disposed in said one end of the body and having the inner surfaces thereof spaced'aparta suflicient distance for permitting the flanges to be frictionally engaged therein, whereby movement of said fastener is obtained by moving the wrench in the desired*directionfwith thefasterier engaged therewith.
