  • Patent number: 3955450
    Abstract: An adjustable wrench for torqueing and ratcheting a symmetrical convex polygon member, such as a square, hexagon, or octagon, the wrench having a body with a fixed jaw and a movable jaw, one of the jaws having a torqueing are defined by intersecting torqueing surfaces which engage the planar surfaces on the member to be rotated and having also, outwardly from such torqueing surfaces, a first and second ratcheting surface for engaging adjacent surfaces on the member to be rotated, the outermost ratcheting surface being of a length less than 1/2 the length of the one side of the member to be ratcheted, and the other jaw having a member engaging area including torqueing surface corresponding to the torqueing surfaces of the first mentioned jaw and having a planar outer ratcheting surface which is parallel with the outermost ratcheting surface of the other jaw, such that the spacing between the jaws may be adjusted so that the member may be engaged between the torqueing surfaces of the two jaws for applying torqu

  • Patent number: 3948061
    Abstract: A centrifugal refrigeration unit which comprises a rotatable shaft carrying two spiral tubular assemblies, one on each end. Each assembly comprises two spiral tubes. At one end the assembly acts as a condenser, and at the other end as an evaporator. Means are provided for directing separate streams of air across the condenser and evaporator assemblies. Numbering the spirals from the condenser end as first, second, third and fourth, and considering the rotation of the shaft clockwise as seen from the condenser end, the first spiral expands outwardly from the shaft in a counterclockwise direction. The second spiral expands outwardly from the shaft in a clockwise direction. The third expands in a counterclockwise direction, and the fourth expands in a clockwise direction. The shaft is hollow and the small ends of the first and fourth spirals are connected through the hollow shaft.
