Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Aug. 27, 1907.
Application filed December 17,1906. Serial No. 348,229.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, CYEUs S. VAUGHN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Union .l-lill, in the county ol Hudson, State o New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Wrenches; and I do hereby declare the following to be a iull, 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.
lt is the purpose of this invention to provide improvements in open end Wrenches in which the jaws are made adjustable.
The nature ol' the invention is clearly disclosed by the device portrayed in the annexed drawings, forming a part ol this specification, in view ol which the invention will irst be described with respect to its construction and inode of use, and then be pointed out in the subjoined claim.
Oi the said drawings-Figure 1 is an edge elevation. Fig. 2 is a side elevation, a part being represented as broken away. Fig. 3 is a side View of the adjustable jaw detached. Fig. 4 is a horizontal section in the plane 4 4, Fig. 2.
Similar numerals oi reference designate similar parts or features, as the case may be, wherever they occur.
ln the drawings 10 designates the iixed or rigid jaw on the head l1 with which the handle l2 of the wrench is integrally Connected.
13 designates the adjustable jaw provided with a screw threaded shank 14 extending forward at an angle oi ninety degrees to its face 15. The lower portion-16 oi the jaw is rounded corresponding to the rounded form in cross section of the shank, and above said rounded portion the sides of the jaw are reduced so as to iorm a web, 17, with shoulders 1S at the sides thereabove. A hole is made through the head from edge to edge below the jaws to receive the shank l-i and rounded portion 1G oi the adjustable jaw.
19 designates a recess formed through the head from side to side to receive the milled nutv 20, having an interiorly threaded hole ier-med through it to receive the threaded shank 14, a slot being formed above the hole made for said shank for the reception of the web 17 of the adjustable jaw, the shoulders 18 resting on the faces 2l of the head which lie at a right angle to the plane of the faces 15 and 22 oi the jaws. Under this construction it will be Seen that by turning the milled nut 20 the shank 14 and consequently the jaw 13 may be adjusted nearer to or iartlier from the fixed jawlO, for reasons Well understood.
An interiorly screw-threaded hole 23 is iormed in the hea d near the outer edge at a point where it intersects the slot made for the reception of the web 17 of the movable jaw and the outlet portion ot the latter is slotted from its outer edge inward, as at 24. A screw, 25, is tapped in the hole 23, the shank of which screw enters the slot 24 when the jaw 13 is adjusted outward or away from the jaw 10, and so limits the extent oi' the opening oi the jaws. This is an important feature of the invention, since it not only prevents the adjustable jaw from being disengaged from the head but prevents it from being adjusted so far outward that its bearing in the head would be insuflicient to sustain it it the use oi the wrench were undertaken under the circumstances and considerable power were exerted on the handle.
An open-ended wrench comprising a head provided with a fixed jaw, an adjustable jaw having a shank extending at a right angle from its own face and toward the face of the Iixed jaw, and movable in the head to adjust it with respect to the fixed jaw, the base of the adjustable jaw being reduced on its sides below the jaw proper and on a plane parallel with its shank, forming a web provided with a slot opening through the outer end of the weby a screw engaged in the slot to prevent the movable jaw and its head from being adjusted out of connection with the head, and a single handle integrally connected with the head and extending in a direction slightly inclined from the plane of the faces of the jaws.
ln testimony whereof, I affix my signature, in presence of two witnesses.
