Abstract: A protective pad assembly for removably positioning on an arm or a leg of a user of the protective pad assembly for protecting an elbow or a knee of the user. The protective pad assembly comprises an outer protective unit including a protective cushion pad configured to protect the elbow or the knee of the user from impact, and a self-retaining device mounted to the outer protective unit for retaining the outer protective unit on the arm or leg of the user. The self-retaining device includes a resilient retaining split-ring clamp having two opposite free ends spaced from one another. The free ends of the resilient retaining split-ring clamp are circumferentially expandable or contractable relative to one another for retaining the protective pad on an arm or a leg of the user of the protective pad assembly over one of the elbow and the knee thereof.

Abstract: A protective pad assembly for removably positioning on an arm or a leg of a user of the protective pad assembly for protecting an elbow or a knee of the user. The protective pad assembly comprises an inner member adapted to be positioned adjacent the elbow or the knee of the user so as to encircle the arm or the leg of the user, at least inner securing component mounted to the inner member, an outer protective pad adapted to be positioned over the elbow or the knee of the user and aligned with the elbow or the knee of the user, and at least one outer securing component mounted to the outer protective pad. The at least one outer securing component is releasably attachable to the at least one inner securing component. The outer protective pad is configured to be disposed over the inner member.

Abstract: A protective pad assembly for releasably attaching to a garment. The protective pad assembly comprises an inner member adapted to be disposed inside the garment, two inner securing components mounted to the inner member and provided to be disposed inside the garment, an outer member provided to be disposed outside the garment, and two outer securing components mounted to the outer member and provided to be disposed outside the garment. The outer member includes an elastic band member attached to the two outer securing components. A distance between the outer securing components of the elastic band member in a relaxed state is less than a distance between the two inner securing components mounted to the inner member. The distance between the two outer securing components of the elastic band member in a stretched state is equal to the distance between the two inner securing components mounted to the inner member.

Abstract: A protective pad assembly is provided for releasably attaching to a garment worn by a user of the protective pad assembly over a body part of the user. The protective pad assembly includes a pad, and a securing device including an exterior securing component configured to be disposed outside of the garment and an interior securing component configured to be disposed inside of the garment in substantial alignment with the exterior securing component. The exterior securing component or the interior securing component includes a male member, and the other of the exterior securing component or the interior securing component includes a female member configured to be releasably mechanically mated to the male member with the garment worn by the user captured therebetween.

Abstract: An adjustable wrench comprising a head portion defining a stationary jaw and a mounting slot in the head portion extending in the direction of a transverse axis thereof, and a movable jaw member mounted to the head portion for reciprocating movement along the transverse axis. The movable jaw member includes a movable jaw in alignment with the stationary jaw and a gear rack having a toothed segment. The gear rack is slidably mounted in the mounting slot. The adjustable wrench further comprises a bearing guide device including at least two bearing guides disposed in a space between an outer wall of the gear rack and an inner wall of the mounting slot so that at least one of the bearing guides is arranged on one side of the gear rack and at least one of the bearing guides is arranged on the opposite side of the gear rack.

Abstract: A powered adjustable jaw wrench comprises a wrench body having a handle portion and a head portion defining a stationary jaw, a movable jaw reciprocally mounted to the head portion, a driven mechanism operably connected to the movable jaw, and a drive mechanism mounted to the body member and including a power source and an indexing mechanism. The driven mechanism includes a worm driving the movable jaw and an indexing wheel operably connected to the worm gear. The indexing mechanism is driven by the power source and includes an oscillating pallet member. The pallet member incrementally drives the indexing wheel so as to convert an oscillating movement of the pallet member into an incremental rotatable movement of the indexing wheel.

Abstract: An adjustable wrench comprising a moveable jaw, a stationary jaw, and a worm gear driving the moveable jaw. The worm gear is, in turn, meshed with a rack of the moveable jaw and is driven by a reversible servomotor. Activation of the servomotor produces linear reciprocating motion of the moveable jaw. The adjustable wrench further includes a positioning device provided for limiting a travel of the moveable jaw in at least one direction away from or toward the stationary jaw. Preferably, the positioning device includes a first preset stop for limiting a travel of the moveable jaw in the direction toward the stationary jaw to define an inward limit of travel of the moveable jaw and a second preset stop for limiting a travel of the moveable jaw the directions away from the stationary jaw to define an outward limit of travel of the moveable jaw.

Abstract: An adjustable jaw end power wrench, in which the adjustable jaw is operated by a worm gear, the worm gear is meshed with the rack of the movable jaw and the worm gear is driven by a reversible electric servomotor. Activation of the servomotor produces linear reciprocating motion of the adjustable jaw. Batteries in a wrench handle provide the power for the electric movement and a control switch controls the function of the wrench. The powered adjustable jaw wrench includes an anti-jamming coupling device provided for un-jamming the wrench when “binding” occurs between the adjustable jaw gear rack and the worm gear.

Abstract: An adjustable jaw end wrench, in which the adjustable jaw is operated by a worm gear, the worm gear is meshed with the rack of the movable jaw and the worm gear is driven by an electric motor. Linear motion propelling the jaw open and/or closed is produced by the electric motor. Batteries in the handle provide the power for the electric movement and a DPDT (Double Pole Double Throw) switch controls the function of the wrench.
