I, PAUL GASTON HEULLE, of 24, Rue Desobry, Saint Denis, in the Department
of the Seine, in the Republic of France, Coppersmith, do hereby declare the nature
of this invention to be as follows:
My invention relates to a new or improved spanner or key for nuts, characterised
by a jointed head, and a retaining catch peculiarly mounted in such manner that a
nut can be screwed or unscrewed in every position which is met with in practice.
My system of key will be clearly understood by the following description and by
reference to the drawings hereto annexed, in which:-
Figure 1 is a side view of the spanner or key.
Figure 2 is a plan or edge view of the same.
Figure 3 is a similar view to Figure 1, but with the head of the spanner or key
inclined.
In the several figures like parts are indicated by similar letters of reference.
As will be seen from the drawings, my system of spanner or key comprises a
handle a forming at one end a fork in which is jointed on an axis b, the head c of
the key, and upon another axis a the pawl e forming a catch.
fixed.
This catch e engages the teeth f¹ cut in a solid sector f formed or
with the head of the spanner or key in such manner that the latter can be
placed and maintained in any desired position with relation to the handle a.
The catch e is formed with a thumb piece e¹ and is kept up to its work by a
coiled spring g
The head of the spanner or key carries two claws, one h fixed and the other i
movable.
The movable claw i is provided with a sliding tenon j which is moved in a
corresponding groove by means of an endless screw k acting on this claw by means
of a toothed rack / which the tenon j carries for this purpose.
I also reserve to myself the application of my invention to spanners or keys
having two fixed claws.
The forms, details, accessories, materials and dimensions of my spanner or key
may evidently be varied without departing from the principle of my invention.

of the Seine, in the Republic of France, Coppersmith, do hereby declare the nature
of this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed to be par-
ticularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:―
My invention relates to a new or improved spanner or key for nuts, characterised
by a jointed head and a retaining catch peculiarly mounted in such manner that a
nut can be screwed or unscrewed in every position which is met with in practice....
My system of key will be clearly understood by the following description and
by reference to the drawings accompanying mv Provisional Specification in
which:-
Figure 1 is a side view of the spanner or key.
Figure 2 is a plan or edge view of the same.
Figure 3 is a similar view to Figure 1, but with the head of the spanner or key
inclined.
In the several figures like parts are indicated by similar letters of reference.
As will be seen from the drawings my system of spanner or key comprises a
handle a forming at one end a fork in which is jointed on an axis 6, the head c of
the key and upon another axis d the pawl e forming a catch.
This catch e engages the ratchet teeth f1 cut in a solid sector f formed or fixed
with the head of the spanner or key in such manner that the latter can be placed
and maintained in any desired position with relation to the handle a.
The catch e is formed with a thumb piece e¹ and is kept up to its work by a
coiled spring g
The head of the spanner or key carries two claws one h fixed and the other i
movable.
The movable claw i is provided with a sliding tenon j which is moved in a
corresponding groove, by means of an endless screw & acting on this claw by means
of a toothed rack 7 which the tenon j carries for this purpose.
I also reserve to myself the application of my invention to spanners or keys
having two fixed claws.
The forms, details, accessories, materials and dimensions of my spanner or key
may evidently be varied without departing from the principle of my invention.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:
A shifting spanner for nuts comprising a head c mounted on an axis of motion h
in a fork in the handle and a ratchet f and a catch e or like devices of such a kind
as will support the head in any desired position substantially as herein shown and
described and for the purpose stated.
