Adjustable Wrench
US Patent:
6289773, Sep 18, 2001
Filed:
May 6, 2000
Appl. No.:
9/565991
Inventors:
Michael J. Patry - Edmond OK
Michael W. Blasdel - Edmond OK
Michael W. Blasdel - Edmond OK
International Classification:
B25B 1358
US Classification:
81185
Abstract:
An improved adjustable wrench (10) having a body (12) that is divided into a handle portion (14) and a head portion (16). The head portion has an opening (20) defined by a first jaw member (22), a second jaw member (24), and a back portion (26). The first jaw member has a planar surface (32) that is spaced a predetermined distance from, and is parallel to and facing, a corresponding planar surface (34) on the second jaw member. A plurality of inch-increment shims (50) and a plurality of metric-increment shims (52) and an adapter shim (54), each having a hole (56) near one end, are pivotably coupled by a bolt (40) to the first and second jaw members. The bolt divides the opening into a shim-storage region (64) and a fastener-receiving region (62). The shims are selectively pivoted from the shim-storage region to the fastener-receiving region, thereby adapting the wrench for use on either inch or metric unit fasteners and also incrementally adjusting the width of the fastener-receiving region, enabling the wrench to be used on a wide range of fastener sizes while maintaining a minimum overall size and weight.
Outgoing Mail Signal Device
US Patent:
5524818, Jun 11, 1996
Filed:
Nov 9, 1995
Appl. No.:
8/555782
Inventors:
Michael J. Patry - Edmond OK
Michael W. Blasdel - Edmond OK
Michael W. Blasdel - Edmond OK
International Classification:
B65D 9100
US Classification:
232 35
Abstract:
An improved outgoing mail signal device for use on rural mailboxes which are partially enclosed by decorative structures such as those composed of brick (or stone) and mortar. The device comprises a support bracket mounted to the door of the mailbox and a signal arm pivotably coupled to the bracket. In operation, the signal arm is rotated up to a stable, over-centered, raised position to indicate the presence of outgoing mail. Upon opening the door, the signal arm returns to the lowered position automatically under the action of gravity. The device has only two stable rest positions, fully raised and fully lowered, for unambiguous signaling. To a viewer located to the side of the mailbox, the signal arm is highly visible when in the raised position and hidden from view when in the lowered position.
