Complete Specification Left, 31st May, 1895--Accepted, 20th July, 1895
I JOHN KEMP STARLEY of the Meteor Works Coventry in the County of
Warwick Cycle Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:-
This invention has for its object an improved method of constructing wrenches
with adjustable jaws and particularly relates to the manner in which the slide or
guiding portion of the wrench in which the moving part of the jaws work is
formed.
Hitherto the moveable part or sliding jaw has been made to work or travel
through a hole or slot cut or formed entirely through the body of the handle
portion of the wrench such construction being more costly and more difficult to
effect than that which propose to adopt.
Instead of the hole or socket before described I cut out or form in the flat of
the jaw end of the wrench and transversely of same or at a right angle with the
face of the jaws a V shaped or dovetailed groove, channel or slot of a depth
corresponding usually to the thickness of the sliding part or jaw the head of
which is thickened out so as to correspond with the rigid or fixed part or head of
the jaws.
The sliding jaw may be arranged and controlled by the ordinary worm or screw
or by other well known means.

I JOHN KEMP STARLEY of the Meteor Works Coventry in the County of
Warwick England do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what
manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described in and by the
following statement :-
This invention has for its object an improved method of constructing adjustable
wrenches or spanners and particularly relates to the manner in which the sliding
or guiding portion of the wrench proper in which the moving or sliding portion of
the jaws works is formed.
Hitherto the moving or sliding portion of the jaw has been made to work or
travel through or in a hole or slot cut or formed entirely through the body of the
handle portion of the wrench or spanuer, such construction being more costly than
that which is described in this Specification.
In order to more clearly shew the nature of my invention I have caused to be
attached to this Specification a sheet of drawings to which I shall hereafter refer
and on which
Figure 1. is a side view of a wrench or spanner constructed according to my

page_text: Figure 2 is an end view of jaw end of wrench.
Figure 3. is a plan on top of Figure 1.
Figures 4. 5. 6. 7 shew different views of sliding jaw.
Figure 8 is a similar view to Figure 1. with sliding jaw removed.
In making my improved wrench, instead of cutting or forming the hole or socket
guide quite through the body of the handle portion of the wrench I cut or form
on one side of the flat of the jaw end of the wrench A and transversely to same
a (preferably) V shaped or dovetailed groove or slot B. of suitable depth and
usually as shewn by Figures 3 and 8 (extending to half the thickness of the
metal).
I
To move or slide in this groove is the detached jaw piece and tail as shown by
Figures 4. 5. 6 and 7. consisting of the head C to correspond with the fixed
portion of jaw D on the handle A the thinner sliding part E and the serrated or
racked edge F. engaging with the worm screw H. in the usual manner for the
adjustment of the jaws or other suitable means of adjustment may be employed.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what [
claim is.
Constructing adjustable wrenches or spanners in such a manner that the moving
part of the jaw slides in a groove or guide channel cut out of one side of the flat
of the jaw end of the wrench proper, substantially as hereinbefore described with
reference to the accompanying drawings.
