Definitions
- a long standing mechanics problem has been the removal from bolts or the like of nuts which have become frozen thereon for one reason or another.
- This general problem is particularly recurrent in the field of automotive mechanics, due to the harsh and widely changing self generated and ambient temperature and weather conditions. Often, the only way the nut can be removed is actually to cut it from the bolt.
- a cutting tool which utilizes lever action for the application of compressive cutting force in accordance with the principles of the present invention.
- a unitary structural housing 101 is configured with an upwardly depending arm 108 and two downwardly depending flanges 102 and 103.
- the upward portion of the housing 101 is adapted to receive a screw adjustable chisel mechanism 104 having a pointed member 106 which actually accomplishes the nut cutting.
- the housing 101 is penetrated to receive a slidable plunger member 107 including an upward platform portion and a shaft portion.
- Another noteworthy feature of the present invention relates to the configuration shown for the lever 111. Not only does the curved, tapering shape enhance the compactness of the overall device, but furthermore the rounded ends which make limited contact with the screw 113 and the bottom of the plunger 107 substantially reduce the friction incurred, and therefore proportionally enhance efficiency of the cutting operation.
