Self-releasing clamping tool

A self-releasing clamping tool comprising:

• an adapter plate;
• a planetary gear assembly;
• a plurality of alignment indicia;
• the planetary gear assembly comprising a central gear and a plurality of adjustable-bolt-pattern gears;
• the adapter plate comprising an inner annular body, a central opening, and a connector plate;
• each of the plurality of adjustable-bolt-pattern gears comprising a base gear, a support stud, a release mechanism, and at least one alignment marker;
• the inner annular body being concentrically positioned within the connector plate;
• the inner annular body being adjacently connected onto a rear surface of the connector plate;
• the central opening normally traversing through the connector plate;
• the central opening being concentrically positioned within the inner annular body;
• the central gear being rotatably mounted to a front surface of the connector plate;
• the plurality of adjustable-bolt-pattern gears being distributed around the central gear;
• the plurality of adjustable-bolt-pattern gears being detachably and rotatably mounted to the front surface of the connector plate;
• the plurality of adjustable-bolt-pattern gears being mechanically engaged to the central gear;
• a first depth of the inner annular body is greater than 10 millimeters,
• the release mechanism being concentrically connected to the base gear;
• the support stud being terminally mounted to the base gear;
• the release mechanism and the support stud being oppositely oriented from each other about the base gear;
• the support stud being positioned offset from the release mechanism;
• the plurality of alignment indicia being distributed around the central gear;
• the alignment marker being superimposed onto the base gear;
• and
• the alignment marker for each of the plurality of adjustable-bolt-pattern gears being aligned to a corresponding alignment indicium from the plurality of alignment indicia.
