Abstract: The ratcheting box wrench includes a box wrench that includes a ratcheting socket inside of the wrench opening. The ratcheting socket is in mechanical connection with a square drive that is provided at a distal end of the handle such that a square drive bit is able to rotate the ratcheting socket. Moreover, the square drive bit is affixed to the square drive provided at the distal end of the handle, and rotation of the square drive shall drive the ratcheting socket provided inside of the wrench opening of the box wrench portion of the ratcheting box wrench.

Abstract: A fluid-operated tool has a link provided with an engaging element for engaging and turning a threaded connector and turnable about a pivot axis of the engaging element, a housing, a fluid-operated drive including a cylinder-piston unit with a cylinder formed in the housing, a piston reciprocatingly movable in the cylinder and a piston rod connected with the piston, the piston rod being also connected with the link, so that when the drive is actuated by a pressure fluid the piston rod is displaced and turn the link about the pivot axis, the housing being connected with the link exclusively by the piston rod.

Abstract: A tool bit selection device as an accessory for a hand held commercial drill motor is disclosed. The selection device is in the form of a chambered cylinder that is supported on the face of the drill motor. The chambers of the cylinder hold individual tool bits that are adapted to be placed on the driving end of a drive spindle of the drill motor. The support and alignment of the selection device on the drill motor permits the compliance of the tool bit and the drive spindle in pitch, yaw, roll and radial offset. The selection device merely stores and positions the tool bits and does not provide bearing support of the tool bit when in working position.

Abstract: A hand tool for use with spring-hinge type spectacles to facilitate removal and replacement of temple screws pivotally connecting apertured hinge ear portions of companion hinge parts mounted on the lens frame and the forwardmost ends of the temple members, including a pistol shaped tool body member having a slide channel portion and a forwardly extending rigid support arm, an elongated post pivotally mounted on the support arm, a lens frame holding subassembly adjustably supported on the post including a lens-engaging pad and a lens restraining arm in spaced overlying relation to lens-engaging surface portions of the pad, and a temple holding subassembly comprising a pair of confronting temple gripper pads spaced to define an upwardly opening temple-receiving recess therebetween. A pad adjusting mechanism is provided for moving the gripper pads toward and away from each other to grip and release a temple member located therebetween.

Abstract: This invention provides a system for shaping eyeglasses, utilizing a moveable die member and a supporting die member which, when brought together with an eyeglass temple therebetween, causes the eyeglass temple to bend to the desired shape. In one form there is disclosed a pliers-type device that has a male die member on one jaw and a female die member on the other jaw having a groove to hold the eyeglass temple in place. A projection or cusp in the groove of the female member causes a crimp to be formed in the eyeglass temple when the jaws are closed. This cusp corresponds to a hollow or indentation behind a typical human ear.

Abstract: A ring removal tool has a pair of handles joined by a pivot and biased to a first position by a spring assembly. A pair of head portions on like ends of the handles together from a head with a cylindrical inner surface and a conical outer surface. The tool can be placed about the finger near the ring and the head slipped between the finger and ring. With the ring cut, the tool can exert sufficient force to spread the ring to such size as to enable it to be readily removed from the finger without inflicting harm to the finger.
