| 20100282031 | SOCKET FOR SOCKET WRENCH AND METHOD FOR FIXING MEMBER TO BE FASTENED | 11-11-2010 |
| 20110132151 | WRENCH SOCKET - A wrench socket for use on fasteners such as pipework fittings where closed pipework or other obstructions would normally prevent the use of a ring wrench or closed sockets has a plurality of swivel arms pivotally mounted to a socket main body. The swivel jaws can be opened and closed as required around pipework and the fastener. Formations on the swivel arms align with one another when the swivel arms are closed allowing engagement by a drive bar that locks the swivel arms together. The swivel arms cooperate with the socket main body to define a polygonal fastener receiving aperture. The socket main body can be made thin profile to allow the wrench socket to be used in close proximity to obstructions that would prevent the operation of prior art wrenches and wrench sockets. | 06-09-2011 |
| 20110167965 | NON-SLIP AND ANTI-BURRING GAS CYLINDER SPANNER - A non-slip and anti-burring gas cylinder spanner for tightening and loosening hose coupling nuts used with gas cylinder valves includes a body with a handle extending opposite a head. A nut engaging portion within the head defines an internal aperture having at least five nut engaging sides dimensioned and configured to engage corresponding sides of a hexagonal nut so the sides of the nut engaging element have increased contact points with the sides of the nut, preventing slippage and burring. A backing plate attached to the head is positioned over a part of the nut engaging element so the backing plate indicates correct spanner/nut positioning and prevents slippage of the spanner relative to the nut when tightening or loosening. The nut engaging element and the backing plate combination prevents rotational and side slippage of the spanner relative to the nut and burring of the nut when tightening and loosening. | 07-14-2011 |
