'y VlVIy `invention comprises certainnew and useful improvements in extension handles for double ended Vwrenches and it primarily has for its objects to provide a handle which will hold the wrench positively'agz-inst slipping, a handle that vis so simple that there yis nothing' to get out of Vorder v(no springs,
Aspring catches, screws,v or other delicate fastening devices), a handle which isselfadjusting', one which can be manufactured at a nominal cost, and one which can be used witli 'either straight orS wrenches. y :More specifically the invention resides in those novel features fof construction, combination and arrangement of parts, all of which will'be'iirst fully described, then be pointed out in the appended claims, refer- Y ence being had to the accompanyingdrawprojecting lug being provided to retain- 4o;
ing, in which: n
Figurel is aplan view of the invention, a Wrench being shown in place in dotted lines.y l j j v Figure 2'is a side elevation of the structure shown in Figure l.
Figure Sis an end elevationv of the extension handle per se.
of reference indicate like parts in all the figures,` l represents the handle proper whichl can be 'made in any desired length; the intention is-to make the implement `in sets of lengths of twenty-four inches,'sixteen inches, ten inches and eight inches respectively.` The implement also has a forwardly extended flat off-set portion 4 joined to the handle proper-by a short lateral portionl 2, which portion 2 constitutes a seat for the jaws of the wrench, a forwardly the wrench against lateral slipping off the portion v2 toward the side opposite the 0H- `set port-ion 4,
' 5 ydesignates the U-end or stirrup in which the shank 6v of the wrench isf-received, the head of the wrench havingV a portion 7 to engage the lat-eral portion 2 toward they rear to prevent slippage of the wrench forward, while slippage of the wrench backwardly is i Y prevented by the engagement'of the portion 2 withthe inner wall ofthe jaws 8 of the wrench, as best indicated in Figure 2 of the drawing. It will be noted that the U- shapedr stirrupis extended below the plane of the handle and the forward extension thereof, whereby when thev wrench is placed in position it will lie with its axis in sub- 'ranged-whereby when the wrench is p stantially the same direction as-the axis of the handle proper 'and' iia-twise against the fiat offset-portion of the, handle proper.
In use one end'of the wrench receives, in
lits mouth, the port-ion 2 of the extension .handle andthe shank of the wrench rests inthe stirrup "5. ,The Aconstruction of the yimplement is suchthat it will hold either aj flat double 'ended wrench Vor an S double ended' wrench with equal facility.
I I am aware that prior to my invention extensionhandles for wrenches have'been provided, but all thosewhich have come to my attention have involved relatively expensive 4constructions or lthe usel of spring latches or devices of special character for holding the wrench in place on the handle, thus adding to the cost of production of the article and in some instances limiting its utility. I therefore do not claim broadly an extension be secured in by Letters Patentk is:
.L An extension handle for wrenches comprising a handle proper, there being a Hat Y laterally off-set portion extending forward- In the drawing, in which like numerals;
lateral portion, said U-shaped stirrup being extended vbelow the plane of the handle and forward extension thereof and all bein ar- Faced, in position it will lie with its axis in substantially the same direction as the axis of the handle proper and iiatwise against said flat off-set portion, substantially as shown and described.
2. An extension handle for wrenches comprising a handle proper, there being a flat laterally off-set portion extending forwardly of and connected with the handle proper by a. short lateral portion, said forwardly rextending fiat offset portion having its axis parallel with the axis of the handle, the front of said extension having a laterally projecting U-shaped stirrup to receive the shank of the wrench whose jaws receive said lateral portion, said U-shaped stirrup being extended below the plane of the handle and forward extension thereof, all being arranged whereby when the wrench is placed handle for double ended wrenches but what I do claim and desire to :tightening or loosening a :nutQ
in position it will lie with its axis in suba stantially theY same direction as-the axis of the handle proper and latwise 'against said fiat olf-set portion, and a forwardly projeeting lug extending from the handle proper paralleling said flat off-set portion?,
of said handle member, and a hook on the end of said forward extension adapted to receive the body of said wrench and to retain thesame in a plane substantially paral lel with the side of said handle member, said lateral projection being avdaptedto engage the jaws; of the rearward extremity of said Wrench for retaining said wrench in a xed position relative tosaid tool while employ` ing the forward jaws of said wrench in 1. A handle extension for Wrenches comprising an integral bar disposed laterally Y' vintermediate its ends substantially at right angles to the longitudinal axis thereof 'for providing a stop for engaging the rearward jaw of a wrench, the end portion of` said laterally disposed portion being bent forwardly in a plane substantially parallel to the plane of the rearward portion of said handle, and a hook on the forwardextremity of said handle adapted vto engagek the shank of said wrenehintei'mediate the vends thereof for preventing lateral movement of the rearward portion of said wrench in onedireetien, said rearward portion of said wrench being restrained from lateral movement inthe other direction by engagement of the tip of one side of said rearward jaw with the side of the rearward portion ll Y or `said handle, and a hook onthe forward extremity of said handle adapted to engage the sides and one edge of the shank of said wrench intermediate its ends.
