  • Patent number: 9993911
    Abstract: The jaw easily allows an insert to be installed or removed. Roughly circular, an insert will be held captive by the pins or semi-circles in the jaw engaging with a groove in the inserts circumference. This will allow the insert to rotate even with a part of its circle not engaged. This will allow an insert to be open ended. This open ended feature will allow this tool to rotate a fastener like a nut even if the end of the threaded portion, perhaps a bolt, cannot be accessed. Once installed the insert will be able to be turned in a circular motion with heavy torque by either manual or powered means.

  • Publication number: 20050121880
    Abstract: This invention is an attractive cover for trailer hitch components which mounts on the receiver tube. It is especially useful for those vehicles whose trailer hitch is visible through an opening in the bumper fascia of the vehicle. These exposed components are generally unattractive. On these vehicles this invention will complete and fill-in the bumper fascia opening with a material that complements the vehicles own bumper covering. This invention mounts on the receiver tube and encloses and protects the receiver tube, safety chain anchors, electrical connections and other trailer hitch components. This invention will help to protect trailer components from blows and rough handling, corrosion, being clogged with mud and dirt and UV damage due to sunlight. It will prevent harm to people from striking the hitch and will smooth the outline of a vehicle reducing the turbulence around the vehicle and making it more gas efficient.
