COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Combination Tool Primarily for Cyclists' Use.
LOUIS WIESE, Manufacturer, of Bielefeld in the Kingdom of Prussia and German
Empire 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 :-
This Invention has principally for its object to provide in one instrument a key
which will be applicable for regulating and for screwing and unscrewing the various
removable parts of cycles the tool being in itself a screw driver, nipple drawer,
hammer, box and other spanner, pliers for drawing nails et cetera. The key con-
stituting the Invention is illustrated in side elevation at figure 1 and in front elevation
at figure 2 of the appended drawings certain parts of the apparatus being in their
open position in the said figures. Figure 3 is a side elevation shewing the like parts
closed and figures 4 to 9 inclusive are details hereinafter referred to.
The key consists of two jaws A B. commonly used in French Keys and one of
which (the jaw A) is fixed on the end of a spindle C whilst the other (the jaw B) is
capable of sliding on the said spindle its position being regulated by the screw D.
which passes through a tapped hole made in the jaw B. the upper end of the screw
being secured in the jaw A.
To guide the movements of the jaw B it has a pin E projecting from it which pin
passes through a collar or sleeve F formed or secured on the spindle C. At its lower
end the spindle C. is shaped to constitute a screw driver as indicated at G. figures 1
and 2 and immediately above the part G. the spindle has a key or feather H fixed in
one side as shewn. In conjunction with the spindle C. key heads and box spanners N
are provided. Each of the key heads and box spanners has a notch I at its upper
end into which the feather H enters to gear the key or spanner with the spindle C,
the lower ends of the keys or spanners being as indicated by figures 1 to 9 of the
drawings made of any desired shape to suit the various forms of heads of the pins
studs or other parts for screwing and unscrewing which they are used the said keys
or spanners being exchanged on the spindle according to requirements.
The jaw A has an adjustable lever K jointed to it at L and the jaws A and B are
each indented on their meeting surfaces as indicated at M the indentations serving
when the jaws are screwed together to hold the head of a nail for its extraction the

page_text: lever K when the tool is used for this purpose being turned out as shewn by figure 3
to afford a purchase.
When required to screw the jaws A B firmly together the pin E may be unscrewed
from the jaw B and inserted through the eye in the head of the screw D to give
additional power.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said Invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is :-
1. The combination of apparatus constituting the "universal" key hereinbefore
described with reference to the drawings annexed.
2. The combination of the Spindle C and jaws A B each constructed and furnished
as set forth with reference to the appended drawings.
3. The combination of the Spindle C with the interchangable keys or box spanners N
substantially as set forth.
