Patent ID: 7673848

Claim:
A pry bar sliding fulcrum assembly comprising: an adjustable fulcrum assembly comprising a fulcrum and a saddle; and said fulcrum having sides, a front wall, a rear wall, a bar mating wall, and a surface mating wall having a partially arcuate form; and said bar mating wall having a shape capable of at least partially mating with an arcuate bend near a broadened end of a pry bar; and said saddle having a partially “U” shaped strap with at least two legs, said legs having an interior dimension between said legs substantially equivalent to or slightly larger than a pry bar shaft and slidably positionable around said pry bar shaft; and said fulcrum and saddle having a retainer which pivotally secures said fulcrum with said saddle and allows said fulcrum assembly to slide on said pry bar shaft; and said bar mating wall having a gap relative to said pry bar shaft, between said retainer and said rear wall, whereby said fulcrum may pivot on said saddle without binding with said shaft whereby said fulcrum assembly may slide from near a pry bar handle towards a pry bar end, at least partially mate with said bend, and thereafter allow placement of said surface mating wall onto a work surface and provision of a greater force and displacement of said pry bar end when a force is applied onto said pry bar handle a spring between said bar mating wall and said pry bar shaft wherein said spring is located in a recess of said bar mating wall distal from said front wall; and said spring providing a positive mating force between said bar mating wall and said pry bar whereby said assembly is frictionally held with said pry bar when slid.
