Abstract
An adjustable nut wrench comprising a handle section and a slide guided element that is pushed by a spring to a position where abutment surfaces are paralleled to two or three nut's sides. A first embodiment of the wrench comprises two paralleled abutment surfaces which set by the angle of maximal 60 degrees to a direction of the sliding element movement. A second embodiment of the wrench has three abutment surfaces located by the angle of 60 degrees to each other and one of them is sliding.
Claims8
An adjustable nut wrench comprising a base element and a sliding element, said base element comprising a handle section extending in longitudinal direction and a first abutment section protruding from the handle section;
- and the sliding element comprising a longitudinal sliding section extending parallel to the longitudinal handle section and being slide guided on the handle section, and a second abutment section protruding from the sliding section;
- and the first and second abutment sections each comprising an abutment surface, and the abutment surfaces being arranged face to face to each other for clamping a nut between the abutment surfaces of the first and second abutment sections and a spring forces abutment surfaces to each other,
- wherein said abutment surface of the second abutment section is aligned in an angle between 20 and 60 degrees approximately between the abutment surface and a longitudinal direction of the handle section and at least the abutment surface of the sliding section has high level of friction that allows the wrench to be self clamping without any auxiliary locking or suppressing means,
- and wherein in a case of an external location the first abutment surface the working wrench rotation direction is from the abutment surface to the handle, an opposite direction is idle,
- and wherein in a case of an internal location the first abutment surface the working rotation direction of the wrench is from handle to the first abutment surface, an opposite direction is idle,
- and wherein the sliding section can be freely moved by hand or by spring when the wrench is not in the working position.
An adjustable nut wrench comprising a base element and a sliding element, said base element comprising a handle section extending in a longitudinal direction and a first abutment section with two abutment surfaces located by 60 degrees to each other and protruding from the handle section;
- and a second sliding abutment section with a flat abutment surface located by 60 degrees angle approximately to both abutment surfaces of the first abutment section and protruding from the sliding section;
- wherein the abutment surface of the second abutment section is set by an angle between 20 and 60 degrees approximately to a direction of the sliding element movement and at least the abutment surface of the sliding element has high level of friction that makes the wrench self locking;
- and wherein the working rotation direction of the wrench is from the abutment surface to the handle, opposite direction is idle.
