Patent number: 7017458Abstract: Self adjusting grooved pliers include a first section having a jaw portion and a channel formed therethrough, adjacent the jaw portion and a second section having a jaw portion and a pivot extending therefrom. The pivot is slidably received in the channel to allow wider or narrower association between the jaw portion of the first section and the jaw portion of the second section. The pivot pivotally couples the first section to the second section for movement between an open position and a gripping position. A plurality of grooves is formed in the first section and a tongue extends from the second section. The tongue is received in one of the plurality of grooves, locking the pivot in position within the channel only upon the first section and the second section reaching the gripping position. A biasing assembly acts on the pivot, urging the pivot upward in the channel toward the jaw portion of the first section.Type: GrantFiled: August 1, 2003Date of Patent: March 28, 2006Inventors: Daniel L. Poole, Robert N. Poole

Patent number: 6938525Abstract: A pipe wrench is disclosed, the pipe wrench having a uniquely handy control lever and one-way ratchet for very rapid adjustment of wrench position. The wrench also has a pivoting upper jaw that further aids a user in adjusting and tightening the wrench while using only one hand. The wrench may also be used as a hand tool, for instance for clamping an object or workpiece for performing work on the object.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2001Date of Patent: September 6, 2005Assignee: Irwin Industrial Tool CompanyInventors: Daniel L. Poole, Robert N. Poole

Patent number: 6935034Abstract: A self-contained line generating device uses a laser diode and a lens to project a fan-shaped beam of visible light. The lens is useful for receiving light and transmitting light in an asymmetrical planar beam. The light is useful for aligning objects in a vertical or a horizontal line. The generator also includes a substantially flat face and leveling devices for leveling and orienting the generator onto a flat surface. Retractable pins enable a user to easily mount the line generator onto a wall and align objects.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2003Date of Patent: August 30, 2005Assignee: Irwin Industrial Tool CompanyInventors: Fabrice J. Malard, Ryan K. Hopper, Daniel L. Poole, Robert N. Poole

Patent number: 6860179Abstract: A clamp device is disclosed having a first member having a handle portion and a jaw portion. A second member has a handle portion and a jaw portion. The handle portion and jaw portion of the second member define a notch extending from an inner surface of the handle portion of the second member at least partially into the jaw portion of the second member, the second member being formed as a single piece. A pivot is pivotally coupling the first member and the second member intermediate their respective handle portion and jaw portion for opposed pivotal motion. An arcuate clamp bar has a first end coupled to the first member and a second end, an arc of the arcuate clamp bar being concentric with the pivot. A brake lever has an end pivotally coupled to the second member at the notch. The end contacts the jaw portion of the second member. The brake lever has an aperture with the arcuate clamp bar extending therethrough.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2002Date of Patent: March 1, 2005Assignee: Irwin Industrial Tool CompanyInventors: Ryan K. Hopper, Walter J. Sedlacek, Daniel L. Poole, Robert N. Poole

Publication number: 20040255729Abstract: An adjustable pliers wrench including a fixture having a handle and an opposing stationary jaw, a co-acting jaw pivoted to the fixture and a lever pivoted to the co-acting jaw. A guide is attached proximate the handle and a locking element is arranged on the guide for reciprocal and canting movement. At least one attached biasing element urges the locking element toward the stationary jaw. An arm is pivoted to the lever and a cam is pivoted to the arm and to the locking element so as to be movable between a first condition permitting the locking element to reciprocate along the guide and a second condition bearing against the guide and canting the locking element into frictional engagement against the guide.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 19, 2004Publication date: December 23, 2004Inventors: Daniel L.
