Abstract:
1. A pry bar sliding fulcrum assembly in combination with a prybar, the combination comprising: a prybar having a handle, an end, a shaft between said handle and end, and a bend between said end and said shaft; and an adjustable fulcrum assembly comprising a fulcrum and a saddle; and said fulcrum having sides, a front wall, a rear wall, a bar mating wall, a surface mating wall having a partially acuate form, and a proximal pivot hole through said sides nearer said rear wall; and said bar mating wall having a shape which at least partially mates with said prybar bend; and said saddle having a partially “U” shaped strap with at least two legs, said legs having an interior dimension between said legs substantially equivalent to or slightly larger than said prybar shaft and slidably positioned around said shaft; and said fulcrum and saddle having a retainer through said saddle and said proximal pivot hole of said fulcrum which pivotally secures said fulcrum with said saddle and allows said fulcrum assembly to slide on said shaft; and said bar mating wall having a gap between said retainer and said rear wall and said shaft whereby said fulcrum may pivot on said saddle without binding with said shaft whereby said fulcrum assembly may slide from near said handle towards said end, substantially mate with said bend, and thereafter allow placement of said surface mating wall onto a work surface and provision of a greater force and displacement of said end when a force is applied onto said handle.
