United States Patent 3,463,210 TOOL FOR HOLDING AND TURNING A BGLT 0R SCREW Daniel A. Gerardi, 157 Grove St, Stamford, Conn. 06902 Filed Feb. 1, 1968, Ser. No. 702,360 Int. Cl. B25b 23/08 US. Cl. 14552 2 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE An elongated screw holder and turner having an upper end with a ring shaped top serving as a handle and a bottom end with three flexible L-shaped prongs for engaging the slot and the underside of bolts or screws of different sizes.
The object of this device is to provide a tool that will improve this art as much as possible, that is easier and better to use and that is very simple, very efficient and very inexpensive. Seemingly, this field can still be further improved.
The accompanying drawings and specifications will fully illustrate and describe the invention. And also, similar numerals and characters refer to similar parts throughout.
In the drawing: FIGURE 1 is a side view of my device. FIGURE 2 is a side view of the bottom portion. FIGURE 3 is an enlarged side view of the upper and bottom portions. FIGURE 4 is an enlarged front view of the upper and bottom portions. In FIGURE 4, the ring top 1 is turned or changed only for a better illustration.
The drawings show in detail the tool A, the ring top 1, the bottom end 2, the prongs 3, 4, and 5, the bolt head 6, the bolt slot 7, the bolt 8, the bolt shank 9 and the metal covering or band 10.
Referring to the drawings: The tool A is my device or invention. The tool A has an elongated body made of round spring wire bent and twisted for fastening. As shown in FIGURE 2, the metal covering or metal bands 10 may also be used for fastening instead of the twisting. Any other suitable materials may also be used.
The upper end of the tool A forms the handle and has the ring shaped top 1 with a round opening for hanging on a wall nail.
ICC.
The bottom end 2 has the outward extending and flexi ble L- shaped prongs 3, 4 and 5 which are self-adjusting and adapted to engage the bolt head 6.
The center prong 4 fits into the bolt slot 7 and the two outer prongs 3 and 5 are made to engage the underside of the bolt head 6 around the bolt shank 9. These three said prongs combined function to firmly hold and to turn the bolt 8 or screw or the like. As already mentioned, the prongs 3, 4 and 5 extend outwardly and are flexible enough to engage the bolts 8 of different sizes. The drawings clearly show how the tool A is set to operate.
As a result, the tool A further improves this art, provides much easier and better means, is very useful and is undoubtedly very simple, very eflicient and very inexpensive.
The tool A may be changed or modified without departing from the scope thereof and also represents all devices subject to the very same uses and conditions.
Having described my invention, I hereby make the following claims, substantially as illustrated and described:
1. A screw holding and turning tool comprising, an elongated body made of round spring wire shaped by bending and fastened by twisting, said body having an upper end and a bottom end, said upper end serving as a handle and having a ring shaped top, said bottom end having three flexible L-shaped prongs extending outwardly for engaging the slot and the head of a bolt, the laterally extending portion of one of the said L-shaped prongs being disposed between the laterally extending portion of the other two L-shaped prongs and is spaced above the plane defined by the laterally extending portions of the said other two L-shaped prongs whereby the said prongs are adapted for firmly holding and turning a bolt or screw.
2. A screw holding and turning tool of the type specified in claim 1 wherein the said three L-shaped prongs have a flexibility adapted for engaging bolts or screw of diflerent sizes.
