VILLIAM E. KLEOKNER, 4OF HIOKSVILLE, OHIO.
AXLE-NUT WRENCH.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 570,933, dated November 10, 1896.
Application filed March 6, 1896.
To a/ZZ whom t may concern:
Be it known that l, WILLIAM E. KLECKNER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Hicksville,in the county of Defiance and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvementsin Axle-Nut Wrenches and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
This invention relates to an axle nut wrench, and it contemplates improving such devices by providing a cheap and effective means whereby the nut will be removed from the axle-spindle by simply turning the Wheel backwardly, applied by reversing` the direction of movement of the wheel, and the device itself will remain in engagement with the wheel when the latter has been removed from the spindle, and will in turn hold the nut in properposition within the wheel-band.
The invention and its many advantages will appear from the following description and claims when taken in connection with the annexed drawings, in which- Figure l is a longitudinal sectional View through a wheel-hub and my improvements applied thereto. Fig. 2 is a sectional view taken in the plane indicated by the dotted linea: c: on Fig. l. Fig. 3 is a sectional view taken at right angles to Fig. 2 and at the point vindicated by the dotted line y y on Fig. l, and Fig. 4 is a perspective view of my device with the parts separated and the operating-screw removed.
Referring by letter to said drawings, A indicates a wheel-hub, B indicates an axlespindle, and C indicates a nut, all of which may be of the form and construction usually employed. Such parts constitute no part of my invention, but are here shown simply for the purpose of illustrating the application of my improved device. l D indicates the hub-band,\\1hich may be also of the character .usually employed.
Myimproved wrench comprises a stationary or iixed jaw a, and a slidable jaw h. The stationary jaw has an angular socket c, composed of the end wall d and the lateral walls e. On the outer side of the wall CZ is fixed or formed thereon the lug or branch f, which is screw-tapped transversely at a suitable disserial No. 582,124. (No model.)
nominate it, has an open wall, as shown, and extending horizon tally from this open side or wall is a slide branch 7L, which is designed to receive the slidable jaw b, the latter being slotted for the purpose, as shown at i. This slidable jaw, as well as the fixed jaw, is beveled on its outer side, as shown, so as to snugly engage the inner side of the hub-band at opposite points, as will be presently described. The slidable jaw is of a width slightly less than the width of the nut socket or seat, so that it may partly enter said socket 0r close the open side thereof. This jaw is also provided at its opposite or lower end with an aperture jfor the purpose of receiving one end of the operating-screw E, which latter has its bearing in the screw-tapped aperture g of the lug or branch f. screw, which takes through said threaded lug or branch, is provided at one end with a crossbar or handle 7c for the grasp of the operator, and its opposite end is here shown as reduced and shouldered at Z, and the reduced portion is passed through the aperture j of the slidable jaw and secured by means of a pin m and a Washer n.
It is obvious that the screw may be swiveled or connected loosely to the slidable jaw by other means, and l do not wish to confine myself to the particular construction shown for the purpose.
' I-provide two opposite walls of the socket or nut-seat with friction-springs F, which are here shown as composed of iiat spring metal and curved so as to permit the nut to readily enter and hold the same from casual displace` ment.
In operation when it is desired to remove a wheel from its axle or spindle the screw should be turned so as to draw in the slidable jaw sufficient to permit the jaws to enter within the band D of the hub and receive the nut. The screw should then be turned so as to force outwardly the slidable jaw and bring the outer side into frictional contact with the inner side of the hub-band. By then rotating the wheel backwardly it will be seen that the nut will be screwed off from the spindle, but by reason of the device being fixed to the This operating- ICO hub-band the Wheel, the device, and the nut will all remain intact. To replace the Wheel, it is simply necessary to turn it forwardly or .in a reverse direction, and after the nut has been screwed home by then manipulating the screw of the device, so as to release the jaws from contact with 'the hub-band, said ed t0 engage the inner side of a hub-band, and the operatin g-screw conncct' n g said jaws, substantially as specified.
2. The fixed or stationary jaw having its outer side beveled and carrying the nut seat 0r socket provided With friction-springs, and y having the lug or branch provided With the screwtapped aperture g, and also having the slidable branch or bearing 72 the slidable j aw b, having the slot vl, yand also beveled on its outer side, and the screw E, bearing in the threaded aperture g, and secured at one end in the aperture j, of the slidable jaw, substantially as specified.
In testimony whereof I affix niy signature in presence of two Witnesses.
VILLIAM E. KLECKNER.
