A compound tool comprising a shank, gripping members carried
thereby, a crosshead upon the shank, said head having
ears each provided with a bearing shoulder and a bearing
lug, a stem pivotally mounted between and extending beyond
the ears, a grip movable longitudinally upon the stem,
means movable with the grip for frictionally engaging
the bearing shoulder and lug, said grip, means, shoulder
and lug constituting support engaging devices, and means
for shifting the grip longitudinally upon the stem, and
for holding it against movement. |

A
compound tool comprising a shank, gripping members carried
thereby, a cross head upon the shank and having spaced
ears, said ears being provided with a bearing shoulder
and spaced bearing lugs, a stem pivotally mounted between
the ears and extending there-beyond, a grip slidably mounted
upon the stem, a collar carried thereby and shiftable
into engagement with the bearing shoulder and lugs, said
shoulder, lugs and collar constituting means for gripping
opposite faces of a supporting structure, and means engaging
the stem for shifting the grip relative thereto and holding
the collar in engaging position. |
|
3.
|
|
A
compound tool comprising a clamping structure including
a shank, a cross-head upon the shank, said cross-head
having spaced marginal bearing shoulders, a stem pivotally
connected to the cross-head, a grip movable longitudinally
upon the stem, means movable with the grip for projecting
between and frictionally engaging the bearings, said grip,
means and bearings constituting support-engaging devices,
and means for shifting the grip longitudinally upon the
stem and for holding it against movement. |
|
4.
|
|
A
compound tool comprising a shank, clamping members carried
thereby, a cross head upon the shank and having spaced
projecting portions, a stem pivotally mounted between
and extending beyond the said projections and having an
integral nose cooperating with one of said projections
to constitute a wire-cutter, a grip slidably mounted on
the stem, a collar movable therewith and shiftable into
engagement with said projecting portions to hold the grip
and stem against movement relative to the cross head,
and means engaging the stem for locking the collar and
cross head in engagement. |
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto
