[NVENTOR a citizen of the .Wallace,

.Todllwhom it mayconcemz v t BENEDICT GOODMAN, or WALLACE, Kansas WRENCH.

' Be itknown that I, BnNEDIorGoommN, United States, residing at in the countyofWa'llace'and State of Kansas, have inveritedfcertainnew and useful Improvements'in W'renches and I do.

hereby declarethe following to be a full,

' clear, and exact description-of the invention, 7 such as wlll'enable others skilled in the art to whlch 'it apperta-ins tomake and use the same i Q My in vfention relates to new and useful improvements 1n wrenches and my ob ectis to provide an instrunient'in this class that is inexpensive to manufacture. V WllllG- my lnventlon, as above ind cated,

simple in construction, readily actuated and consistsof a wrench, yet IfhZLVG-SllOWIl and I medium of a threaded shaft 14:, which shaft described in connection therewith. certain adjunctive parts which adapt it as a general utility tool, as will be readily understood.

{Other objects'and advantages will be herenafter referred to. and more pointed out in the claim.

In the accompanying drawings forming part of this application, Figure 1 15 a plan v ew of'my improved tool, showing the; parts 1111111911 operative position. Fig. 21s .a' sectional view thereof as seen on line 2+2, Fig;

1. Fig. 3 is a s'ectional view as seen on, line 3 '-3, Fig. 11 Fig. 4 isa plan view 'of a-cutting plate removed from the tool, and,Fig.

-5 is an elevation of a slightly modifiedform of nut and pipe wrench. Referring to the drawings inwhich, simi- 12.! reference numerals designate corresponding parts throughout theseveral views, 1 .--i ndi cates the headof myimproved tool a while on the opposite side of the head formed shanks 4, said shanks serving as a which is preferably formed into a pol1;2,

which poll is adapted'to be used for driving nails, tacks and the like, one portion of the head being provided with claw 3, which is etc.,

adapted to be used for extracting nails,

are

handle'forthe tool.. The" shanksare separa'ted at their oute-r'ends and are attached-to v a cross bar 5, said bar extending beyond the shanks and having attached thereto a wrench fran'ie 6, one arm of the frame being pivoted to-oneend of the cross bar, while the oppositearm attached'to the opposite end. of the bar by means of a screwbolt 7.

The inner faces of the arms of the wrench frame are preferably flattened to form a guide for a follow block 8, the ends of said Specification of Letters Patent.

in which the corner of a nut 13 is adapted to extend, when the device turning a nut, while the providing the V-shaped the surface of a round object and hold the same. against rotation in the wrench frame properly seated is employed for edges formed by The follow block 8 is operated through the extends through the crossbar 5 and between the. separated ends of the shanks 4 ,the inner end of the shaft being'provided with a disk 15 by means of which the. shaft may be readily rotated for moving said follow block inwardly and byrerersing the movement of "said screw the follow block may'b'e moved outwardly. The screw 14 is adapted to engage or bear upon the follow block- 8 and is therefore readily removable from said follow block for a purpose hereinafter indi- -cated.

In Fig. 5 of the drawings I have showna modified form. of wrench frame, in which instance the frame 24: is formed in two-sec.-

tions and'hinged together as shown-at 25,

one of .the arms of the frame 24 being notch will engage hingedly secured to one end of the cross bar 26, as shown at 27, while the opposite arm of the frame is secured 'to. the opposite end of the cross bar by means of a bolt 28.

Instead of having the extensions 9 as shown. in Fig. 2 for retaining the, follow block in-posit-ion in the Wrench frame, the ends of" said follow bloek maybe formed in various ways for engaging the arms of the wrench frame, as :is thought "will be under-' stood.

Inemploying the tool, the screw 14 is turned until the same is. removed from the follow block 8, the screw 14 being then withdrawn from engagement with the frame 6, when said frame, togetl-ierwith the follow block is swung laterally upon its pivot. By

'now withdrawing 5 the follow block, the

frame 6 maybe strided upon the pipe or bolt from which it may be desired to remove a nut, and suitablyadjusted to the nut, said parts then being returned to their initial osition and the follow block also engage with said nut-by suitabl turning the screw 14 for clamping said f0 ow block in contact with said nut. It is now apparent that by suitably-manipulating the mstrunient the operation of turning the nut may be readily effected.

In th t form of wrench disclosed by Fig.

5, it is obvious that by'suitably applyi'n a screwdriver to the bolt 28, one arm of sai frame 24 may beireadiliyk detached from the cross bar 26 when said ame may beturned upon its axis 27, permitting the ready extending of one of Its arms in a plgz ing said frame to the object to be engaged a er which it is apparent, the parts may be readily secured in initial osition and the object thus be clamped in e ective position thereby.

It will thus be seen thatI have provided "a very cheap and economical form of tool and one wherein the various forms of the wrench'may be readily applied to use.

The.- features not descrlbed in' detail are shown as simply capable of use with the invention,

site lateral aeazav What I claim is:' K A device of thecharacter described, com= prising a handle, a frame consisting of lat- ,eral portions'hav-ing an approximately V- .shaped connecting portion therebetween, one

posed to the corresponding angle of the approximately V-shaped portion of said frame, and an adjusting and tightening screw threaded into said cross barand engaging said follow block. I

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
