Abstract: A bracket assembly is put to use in a cooking apparatus or else a food service table support system for attaching to a rail of a balcony or deck, or a tailgate of a pickup truck (or other vehicle, even the tailgate of a UTV or trailer, tube inserted inside the hitch receiver of a motor vehicle, or hung off the side of a passenger door of a motor vehicle.

Abstract: A clamp for fiberglass boats is adjustable where the contact points are on any of the fiberglass hull, the fiberglass deck (which meets the hull at a seam covered by a rub rail), and/or the fiberglass gunwale (which is part of the deck and, if low enough, is called a toe rail). The clamp has an outer jaw for contacting the hull below the rub rail, and inner jaw that is reached over and around the gunwale for contacting the deck inside the gunwale, an optional auxiliary jaw for contacting the outside of the gunwale, and an optional stand-off resting on the crown of the gunwale. Preferably the jaws and stand-off are the terminations of linkages which can be re-configured in an indefinite variety of re-configurations.

Abstract: An adjustable wrench is provided which provides several advantageous aspects. One aspect of the wrench is to facilitate rapid adjustment of the jaws, which are typically spring biased toward one another. Another aspect is the ability to adjust the jaws according to Metric system measurements or English system measurements or the like. A further aspect is the quick and effective tightening of the jaws.

Abstract: A framing hammer assembly enables a user to tend to nail work within tight spaces. The hammer assembly comprises a three-dimensional hammer head, an elongate hammer handle, and a select tool attachment assembly. The hammer head comprises first and second nail-striking heads, a fulcrum, and a nail-pulling claw. The first nail-striking head and the second nail-striking head are orthogonally situated relative to one another for enabling a user to drive nails within tight spaces. The hammer handle comprises a head-engagement portion, a second handle end, and a hand-grip portion. The select tool attachment assembly comprises a select tool accessory and certain fastening structure for fastening the select tool accessory to the second handle end. The select tool accessory is interchangeable with a plurality of secondary tool accessories for selectively providing a lever arm and for enabling the user to remove driven nails or similar other hardware within tight spaces.

Abstract: An adjustable wrench has a handle having a fixed jaw, a movable jaw, an adjusting worm and an adjusting device. The adjusting worm is received in an opening of the handle and engages with the movable jaw to drive the movable jaw to move along the guiding slot. The adjusting device has an axle portion received in a through hole of the adjusting worm and a wheel portion positioned beside the adjusting worm. The adjusting device is pivoted on the handle via a shaft to be turned along a rotation axle and the adjusting worm is turned along a rotation axle. The rotation axles of the adjusting device and the adjusting worm deviate from each other whereby the adjusting device is turned to move the adjusting worm toward or away from the movable jaw.

Abstract: An adjustable wrench has a ratcheting feature by which its movable jaw retracts away from its fixed jaw when the handle is pulled in one direction, enabling the wrench to slip over the facets of a polygon-shaped nut, but which locks the jaws in position when the wrench handle is turned in the opposite direction. A jaw adjustment screw is positioned for rotation in the wrench head and is axially movable with the lower jaw, but only when a support wedge is slidingly retracted out from its normal position supporting the bottom end of the adjustment screw. The tool can have a ruled edge adjacent to the jaw for indicating jaw opening size. Another feature is a slidable fence device on the fixed jaw, to be moved slidably over a face of the nut when the wrench is in place, providing a stop against sliding of the wrench off the nut.

Abstract: A pair of pliers includes a head and a handle pivotally connected to the head which includes three parts. A movable jaw is movably received between the first part and the third part of the head and a first spring is connected between the movable jaw and the second part. The movable jaw has a toothed portion defined in one of two sides thereof. A pawl member is movably received between the first part and the second part with a second spring connected to the pawl member and the second part. The pawl member is moved along an inclined surface of the second part and has a toothed side which is disengagably matched with the toothed portion of the movable jaw by rotating the handle.

Abstract: The invention provides an adjustable spanner having one fixed jaw (11) and one movable jaw (12), the fixed jaw being mounted on or formed integrally with the body or handle (10) of the spanner, and the movable jaw being arranged to slide in the body or handle of the spanner relative to the fixed jaw, in which the movable jaw (12) is provided with a first set of serrations (15) and a locking member (17) provided with a second set of secretions (16) is movably mounted in the body of the spanner to move between a locking position in which said second set of serrations engage with said first set of serrations to lock the movable jaw (12) in an operative position, and a release position in which the second set of serrations are clear of said first set of serrations to allow adjusting movement of the movable jaw; wherein releasable locking means (21) is provided for locking the locking member (17) positively in said locking position.

Abstract: A sliding jaw pipe wrench has a jaw adjustment mechanism comprising a longitudinally extending series of transverse recesses formed in one surface of a elongate shank on which the movable jaw of the wrench is formed. The shank is received in a retaining pocket in the wrench handle on which the stationary jaw is formed, and the handle includes a transverse locking pin for engagement in, and disengagement from the respective recesses to retain the movable jaw in position when engaged in a recess and allow the shank to be moved to adjust the jaws when disengaged from the recesses. The locking pin is operated by a trigger-like lever pivoted on the handle and connected to a locking pin by an elongate actuating rod. The wrench is provided with a fine adjustment mechanism in the form of a stud threaded transversely through an aperture in the handle so that the inner end of the stud can be tightened against an edge of the shank opposite the recesses.

Abstract: An adjustable wrench having a shank forming a handle and provided with a fixed jaw toward and away from which slides a movable jaw mounted on the shank. The movable jaw is selectively locked in a desired position relative to the fixed jaw by a lock arrangement including a latch disposed on the shank for movement substantially relative to the movable jaw and provided with teeth which can engage teeth provided on the movable jaw.
