PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Tube Wrench and Spanner.
I SAMUEL BUCKLEY Tool Maker Hooley Hill Tool Works Guidebridge near
Manchester do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
A semicircle slotted or double toothed grip, formed at the upper part of the handle,
in this slot the reduced portion of the head or hook slides by means of a rivet through
both the upper slotted portion of the handle and the lower part of the hoad or hook,
thus enabling it to take various sizes of tubes. The slotted or double toothed grip
prevents the flattening of the tubes under great pressure and also secures a more
certain grip or bite on the tube. I also make the upper portion of the handle and
head the same width so as to enable it to act as a spanner for lock nuts or other
nuts.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Tube Wrench and Spanner.
I SAMUEL BUCKLEY Tool Maker Hooley Hill Tool Works Guidebridge near
Manchester do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the
same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement :-
A semi-circular slotted or double toothed grip formed at the upper part of the
handle. In this slot the reduced portion of the head or hook slides by means of a
rivet passing through the upper slotted portion of the handle and the lower head or
hook thus enabling it to take various sizes of tubes. The slotted or double grip
prevents the flattening of the tubes under the great pressure and also secures a more
certain grip or bite on the tube. I also make the upper portion of the handle and
head the same width so as to enable it to act as a spanner for lock nuts or other
nuts.
Referring to the drawing filed with my Provisional Specification-a is a semi-
circular slotted arm or "double toothed grip" formed at the upper part of the handle
6 and serrated on its double curved edge as illustrated.
In the slot c formed in this arm a and upon a rivet or pin d passing through the
same is mounted a specially formed head or hook e the lower part of which is reduced
in thickness to pass within the slot c whilst the upper or hook part is of about the
same width as that of the slotted arm. This "double toothed grip" arrangement not
only enables me to present a much wider gripping surface for gripping various sizes
of tubes or pipes and so preventing the flattening of the said tubes under the great
pressure exercised and also securing a more certain grip or bite on the tubes but by
having a projecting shoulder f formed on each side of the head e I am enabled to use
the same tool as a spanner for lock nuts or other screw nuts which may be gripped
between either of such shoulders fand the serrated edge of the double tooth grip a.
Having thus particularly described and ascertained the nature of this my
said invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that
what I claim is :-
1st. The improved arrangement and construction of combined Tube Wrench and
Spanner substantially as herein before described and illustrated on the accompanying
drawing.
•

page_text: 2nd. In a combined Tube Wrench and Spanner the employment of a
"double
toothed slotted grip" formed at the extremity of the handle and adapted to receive a
specially formed head provided with shoulders substantially as and for the purposes
herein before described and illustrated on the accompanying drawing.
