Patent ID: 7089833

Claim:
A device utilizing compressed air for loosening or tightening fasteners that are located in hard to access areas comprising: a stabilizing fixture having a U-shaped head with two prongs extending from one end of a rod, a lever rotatably associated with said U-shaped head, said lever residing between said two prongs and extending from said U-shaped head, an adapter associated to a the lever through said two prongs whereby said lever is rotatably driven at one end to cause synchronous rotation of said adapter relative to said U-shaped head; a restraining ring member residing on a portion of said adapter that has passed through first U-shaped head prong, the lever, and second U-shaped prong, said adaptor being constrained to rotate by said U-shaped head, said adaptor being able to accommodate sockets of variable sizes and shapes, said lever and said adaptor achieving a synchronous motion with said socket to transmit torque to said socket, a transfer fixture having a four pronged head that is removeably associated with a pneumatic hammer forcing said lever to rotate in an arcuate path of motion to enable said socket to loosen or tighten said fasteners, said lever having a solid cylinder to permit removable attachment between the transfer fixture and the lever, whereby said four pronged removeably attached fixture and a pneumatic hammer shank enable transfer of force to said lever, and said stabilizing fixture having said rod remotely located from said socket whereby an operator can use his free hand for support for the purpose of loosening or tightening fasteners.
