Wrench capable of applying driving force on object effectively
11577371 · 2023-02-14 · ·

A wrench has a first segment and a second segment pivotally coupled together. The second segment is selectively positionable at various fixed pivotal positions relative to the first segment. The first and the second segments engage with a locking device. The first segment has a first joining end forming a first positioning surface and a second positioning surface. The locking device includes a catch selectively engagable and disengagable from the first and the second positioning surfaces. The catch has a body section abutting against the first positioning surface in a direction radial to the axis of rotation when the first segment is at a first fixed pivotal position relative to the second segment. The first body section is abutted against the second positioning surface in a direction radial to the axis of rotation when the first segment is at a second fixed pivotal position relative to the second segment.

Stud removal tool having jaws with retaining ribs
11707821 · 2023-07-25 · ·

A tool for unscrewing a stud has a body with cam surfaces in a bore. A recess extends through the cam surfaces. Jaws have outer sides in engagement with one of the cam surfaces and inner sides containing teeth. An outward protruding rib on the outer side of each of the jaws inserts into the recess. Rotation of the body in a first direction causes the cam surfaces to slide in the first direction along the outer sides of the jaws, pushing the jaws to a gripping position. Rotation of the body in a second direction causes the cam surfaces to slide in the second direction along the outer sides of the jaws, enabling the jaws to move to a retracted position.

Open-end ratcheting wrench
09827652 · 2017-11-28 · ·

The present invention may be used for rotating a polygonal object. A first wrench member may have a handle with two ends with a fixed jaw attached at a first end and with a cavity formed in the fixed jaw and first end. A second wrench member may be a movable jaw with a curved jaw attached to a ratcheting element. The ratcheting element may be slidably positioned in the cavity to position the curved jaw opposite the fixed jaw. The second wrench member may be constrained by the cavity and a cavity insert member to slide in said cavity about the center of an arc. The cavity insert member is positioned between a rearward wall of the cavity and the ratcheting element and retains the ratcheting element within the cavity.

A cleat removal wrench is provided having a pair of cleat engagement members projecting arced, terminal edges to a plane subjacent relative to a pair of handle portions. The terminal edges are disposed to distribute force applied at the handle portions to the base or shank of a cleat to garner purchase at the cleat base or shank and enable application of torque and thereby more easily remove and replace cleats on sporting footwear.

Reciprocating wrench for quick combining fastener
11325225 · 2022-05-10 ·

A reciprocating wrench for quick combining fastener includes a main body, a claw, and an elastic positioning device therebetween. The main body includes a concavely-shaped first jaw opening, which has a pivot end at an end thereof. The claw includes a concavely-shaped second jaw opening, which has a pivotal combination portion at an end thereof. The pivotal combination portion is pivotally connected with the pivot end, such that the claw and the main body pivotally move with respect to each other. The elastic positioning device allows the claw to optionally rotate toward a closing direction or remain in the opening status. Therefore, the claw is able to remain in the opening status for combining the fastener.
