Preferably, a mating slot matches with the wrench hole and is arranged on the outer wall of the adjustment wrench support. The cross section of the mating slot is preferably triangular. Preferably, the wrench body is made of plastic or metal. The pore diameter of the sockets on the left and right side may vary dependant on actual conditions and also can be different dimensions.
The adjustable wrench optionally has the adjustable button retained to the wrench body by the adjustment cover. The adjustable button has a protrusion on an underside of the adjustable button that protrudes into and engages a helical groove formed on the adjustment screw bolt. A thread angle of the helical groove is preferably less than a thread angle of the adjustment threaded sleeve. A pitch of the helical groove is preferably less than a pitch of the adjustment threaded sleeve. A lead of the helical groove is preferably more than a lead of the adjustment threaded sleeve.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
As indicated in FIGS. 1-3, an adjustable wrench has a wrench body 1. Sockets 2 are arranged at two ends of the wrench body 1. An adjustment screw bolt 3 is arranged on the wrench body 1. An adjustable wrench support 4 matches with sockets 2 separately arranged on two ends of the adjustment screw bolts 3. An adjustment threaded sleeve 5 is arranged between the adjustment wrench support 4 and the adjustment screw bolt 3. The adjustment screw sleeve 5 is screwed with the threaded wall 6 of the inner wall of the wrench body 1. An adjustable button 7 fixed with the adjustment screw bolt 3 is arranged on the adjustment screw bolt 3. The spacing between the sockets 2 and the adjustable wrench support 4 can be adjusted with the adjustable button 7 and the diameters of the socket 2 made as adjustable size openings at two ends of the wrench body 1 can vary relative to each other.
An adjustment placement frame 8 is arranged in the wrench body 1. The adjustment screw bolt 3 is arranged in the adjustment placement frame 8. An adjustment placement slot 9 to be placed and adjusted with the adjustable button 7 arranged on the adjustment placement frame 8. The adjustment placement slot 9 is arranged in an adjustment cover 10. The adjustment cover 10 is fixed with the wrench body 1. A screw placement slot 11 is separately arranged on the two ends of the wrench body 1. The screw placement slot 11 can be placed and adjusted with the adjustment screw sleeve 5 through a placement rod 12. A mating slot 13 matches with the wrench hole 2 arranged on the outer wall of the adjustment wrench support 4. The cross section of the mating slot 13 is triangular. The wrench body 1 is made of plastic or metal.
As seen in FIG. 1, the adjustable button 7 is mounted in the wrench body 1 so that adjustable button slides relative to the wrench body. The adjustable button 7 can be retained to the wrench body 1 by the adjustment cover 10. The adjustable button 7 has a protrusion that protrudes into a helical groove 14 formed on the adjustment screw bolt 3. With the adjustment cover 10 removed, the helical groove 14 is seen on a middle portion of the adjustment screw bolt 3. The adjustable button protrusion 15 travels along the helical groove 14 as the user moves the adjustable button 7 along the adjustment placement slot 9. Since the helical groove 14 is helical rather than straight, the translational motion of the adjustable button 7 actuates a rotational motion of the adjustment screw bolt 3. The turning of the adjustment screw bolt turns the adjustment placement slot 11 on both ends, and the adjustment placement slot 11 then rotates to impart rotation to the placement rod 12. When the placement rod 12 rotates, the adjustment threaded sleeve 5 is rotated so that the adjustment threaded sleeve 5 cooperates with the sidewalls of the adjustment placement frame 8 to push the adjustable wrench support 4.
The adjustable wrench support 4 is mounted in the adjustment placement frame 8 so that it translates relative to the adjustment placement frame 8. The adjustable wrench support is pivotally connected to the adjustment threaded sleeve 5 so that the adjustment threaded sleeve 5 rotates relative to the adjustable wrench support 4. The adjustable wrench support 4 does not rotate relative to the wrench body 1. The adjustment threaded sleeve 5 rotates relative to the wrench body 1. The placement rod 12 is rigidly mounted to the adjustment threaded sleeve 5. The placement rod 12 slides along the screw placement slot 11 when the adjustable button 7 is actuated. The adjustment screw bolt 3 is preferably held in a pair of adjustment screw bolt bearings 16.
More specifically, the helical groove can be formed in the adjustment screw bolt by casting, or by milling. The pitch of the helical groove is preferably less than the pitch of the adjustment threaded sleeve. The lead of the helical groove is preferably more than the lead of the adjustment threaded sleeve. Also, the thread angle of the helical groove is preferably less than the thread angle of the adjustment threaded sleeve.
