  • this invention relates to an improved, adjustable clicktype torque wrench, that is, that particular type or class of torque wrench which is such that when a predetermined, set force is transmitted by the wrench onto a related piece of work, certain parts within the wrench structure move rapidly from a normal position to an actuated, stopped, position and in such a manner that a slight movement, impact and audibly click-like sound is transmitted by the wrench, to signal the operator that the desired, set torque has been reached and applied to the work.

  • the ordinary torque wrenches of the specific type or class here concerned with involve an elongate tubular lever arms with front and rear ends, hand grip means at the rear end of the arms and work engaging heads adjacent the front ends of the arms.
  • the heads have elongate pivot arms or cranks projecting rearwardly and freely into and through the forward portions of the lever arms.
  • the forward portions of the pivot arms or cranks are pivotally mounted to the forward ends of the lever arms and have flat rearwardly disposed seats at their rear ends.
  • rearward of the cranks are longitudinally shiftable slide blocks with flat forwardly disposed seats. Cam blocks with flat front and rear faces are engaged with and between the seats on the cranks and blocks.
  • elongate compression springs are arranged to engage the blocks and normally yieldingly urging the blocks forwardly toward the cranks, with the flat cam faces in flat pressure engagement with the crank and block seats.
  • manually operable setting means are provided-which means engage the springs and are operable to vary the amount of force exerted by the springs onto and through the blocks.
