Patent number: 6279427Abstract: A uniquely designed torque wrench having a torque body, the torque body attached to a drive head, with the head having an opening through its center, for fitting over a nut, such as a multi-sided jam nut positioned on a compresor shaft. The drive head further provides a portion which can be disengaged and opened, to define a gate which can allow the jam nut to be positioned within the opening, and the gate portion resecured, to define the head secured around the jam nut. There is further provided a hydraulic cylinder secured between the wrench body and the head so that under hydraulic pressure, the head is rotated which in turn imparts sufficient rotation to the jam nut under sufficient pressure to torque up the nut to the desired foot pounds required. Another embodiment includes an adaptor insertable into the opening of the torque wrench for accommodating a certain jam nut configuration, so that the tool can be used on the varied types of jam nut designs.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 1999Date of Patent: August 28, 2001Assignee: Francis Torq/Lite, Inc.Inventor: Dale Francis
