Abstract
A thread restoration tool (10), including: a first (30A) and second (30B) jaw, being horizontally rotatable (72B) one in relation to the other, for gripping the thread (22) in between; at least one knife (20A, 20B), extending from at least one of the first (30A) and second (30B) jaws, for being inserted into the thread (22) by the gripping; a vertical to horizontal convertor (208), for converting vertical motion of a vertically positioned rod (36) to the horizontal rotating of one of the jaws (30A, 30B) in relation to the other, thereby the gripping of the thread (22) is operable via the top (44A) of the rod (36) being disposed above the thread (22), thereby reducing occupied space (220) around the thread (22), required for the gripping.

A thread restoration tool (10), comprising:
- a first (30A) and a second (30B) jaw, being horizontally rotatable (72B) one in relation to the other, for gripping said thread (22) in between;
- at least one knife (20A, 20B), extending from at least one of said first (30A) and second (30B) jaws, for being inserted into said thread (22) by said gripping;
- a vertical to horizontal convertor (208), for converting vertical motion of a vertically positioned rod (36) to said horizontal rotating of one of said jaws (30A, 30B) in relation to the other,
- thereby said gripping of said thread (22) is operable via a top (44A) of said rod (36) being disposed above said thread (22),
- thereby reducing space (220) around said thread (22), occupied by said thread restoration tool (10),
- wherein said vertical to horizontal convertor (208) comprises:
- a top tilted surface (206) of a plate (32) extending from said first jaw (30A);
- and
- a bottom tilted surface (44B) of said rod (36), for vertically pressing said top tilted surface (206) of said plate (32),
- thereby horizontally moving (46) said plate (32) and said first jaw (30A).
