Patent Number Date Title Name City Description
RE10,145 Jul. 04, 1882 Adjustable Socket Wrench Felix Chantrell Bridgeport, CT The adjustable socket works by a central left- and -right hand threaded bolt with a central knurl. Produced as a solid "T" handle socket wrench - known examples marked "PATD. FEB. 28 82 HAZELTINE & CHANTRELL BRIDGEPORT" -- or as a brace wrench with a socket using this design. In 1900, SMITH & EGGE was advertising the wrench.
The adjusting screw with left- and right-hand threads also appears in John Chantrell's bit brace (patent no. 284,276).
696,405 Apr. 01, 1902 Clamping Wrench Richard A. Breul Bridgeport, CT The movable jaw has an internal clamping pawl, and a clamping set screw with sliding "T" handle. Tightening the clamping set screw secures the adjustment, and "raises" the jaw tip to more firmly grip the work piece.
A supplemental pipe gripping piece can clamp on to the movable jaw.
Produced by Smith & Egge Mfg. as the "GIANT."
A stop on the end of the handle bar prevents the jaw from sliding off when the clamping set screw is loosened.
