Abstract
A tool for attaching and removing threaded fittings of the type typically used to attach hoses, such as hydraulic hoses, characterized by an extended longitudinal body which is open along a length of the body to accept a hose which has a fitting on it. An adaptor is mounted on an end of the body. The adaptor accepts and rotates a fastener which is part of the hose fitting, such as a six point fastener. The adaptor has an open portion to accept the hose. The opposite end of the body accepts a drive tool, such as a ratchet or a pneumatic wrench.
Claims6
A tool for attaching and removing a fitting which is attached to a hose, comprising:
- a generally hollow, extended and longitudinal body having an opening therein along a length thereof from a first end of said body to a point along a length of said body, but is not open along said length of said body to a second end thereof;
- an adaptor which is removably mounted to said first end of said body, wherein said adaptor has an opening which extends from a first end of said adaptor to a second end of said adaptor, wherein said opening of said adaptor intersects the opening of said generally hollow extended and longitudinal body, and wherein said adaptor has a connector which extends from said adaptor toward said body, and said connector engages a receptacle of said body;
- wherein said generally hollow, extended and longitudinal body is mounted to said adaptor by male-female engagement means;
- and
- wherein said connector extend s past said male-female engagement means and into an interior of said body.
A tool for attaching and removing a fitting that is attached to a hose, comprising;
- a generally hollow, extended and longitudinal body having a longitudinal slot along one side thereof for accepting a hose, said generally hollow, extended and longitudinal body having a first end and a second end, said second end of said generally hollow, extended and longitudinal body having an aperture for accepting a drive tool;
- an adaptor which is removably mounted to a first end of said generally hollow, extended and longitudinal body, said adaptor having an opening for accepting and engaging a fastener and wherein said adaptor has a connector which extends from said adaptor toward said body, and said connector engages a receptacle of said body;
- wherein said longitudinal slot extends through said first end and intersects said opening in said adaptor;
- wherein said generally hollow, extended and longitudinal body is mounted to said adaptor by male-female engagement means;
- and
- wherein said connector extends past said male-female engagement means and into an interior of said body.
