An adjustable wrench (1, 90) is disclosed. The adjustable wrench (1, 90) is used for an assembly part. The adjustable wrench (1, 90) includes a frame (10A, 10B, 10C), an adjustable member (20A, 20B, 20C), and an engaging element (40A, 40B). The adjustable member (20A, 20B, 20C) is adjacent to the frame (10A, 10B, 10C) to form a space (30) between an inner side of the frame (10A, 10B, 10C), wherein the adjustable member (20A, 20B, 20C) further has a rack (21). The engaging element (40A, 40B) is adjacent to the adjustable member (20A, 20B, 20C) and has an engaging portion (41, 42) that meshes with the rack (21) such that, after the adjustable member (20A, 20B, 20C) slides, a position of the engaging portion (41, 42) meshed with the rack (21) is changed so as to change the size of the space (30); thus, the space (30) can be adjusted to match assembly parts of different specifications.

A self-energizing and de-energizing adjustable gripping tool for engaging a workpiece to impart movement thereto includes a first element and second element connected for relative angular movement. The second element includes an actuation portion having a plurality of slots. Each of the slots includes a first section and a second section wherein the first and second sections each define divergent paths. The first element includes a gripping portion having a plurality of gripping elements and a plurality of aligning elements. Each gripping element has a pin connected thereto. One of the aligning elements is disposed between a pair of adjacent gripping elements. One of the force transfer elements engages one first section and one of the aligning elements engages one second section such that movement of the second element relative to the first element results in the first sections contacting each of the force transfer elements to actuate the gripping elements and the second sections contacting the aligning elements to maintain orientation of the first element with respect to the second element.

An adjustable socket (10) is disclosed as including a driver (16) having inclined slideways (18) on which jaws (20) are mounted for inward and outward adjusting movement by an adjuster (24) supported on the driver and having an annular flange (26) that projects into jaw slots (22). The adjuster (24) preferably has a two piece construction including a jaw operating member (32) on which the annular flange (26) is provided, a rotatable adjusting member (34) supported on the driver for rotational adjustment, and a press fit connection (36) that secures the jaw operating member (32) to the adjusting member (34) upon assembly. A shoulder (44) on one of the members (32, 34), preferably on the adjusting member (34), axially engages the other member to prevent movement therebetween as the adjustable socket is loaded. The jaw slots (22) and the annular flange (26) preferably extend radially without any axial component to prevent binding during adjustment and use. Both the jaws (20) and the slideways (18) that mount the jaws on the driver (16) have round shapes along the inclined directions of the jaw movement, and the jaws (20) have inwardly facing flat gripping surfaces (66) whose orientation is maintained by the slidable engagement of the annular flange (26) within the jaw slots (22).

Adjustable socket (10) for rotatively driving bolts and nuts including a plurality of jaws (18) mounted on a rotatable driver (16) for quick action adjustment between fully opened and fully closed positions upon rotation of an adjuster (22) no more than one revolution. Each jaw has an inclined camming surface (28) that is slidably engaged by a jaw positioner (20) upon axial movement thereof in response to rotation of the adjuster so as to provide radial adjustment of the jaw positions. A spring (30) biases the jaws in an outward radial direction into engagement with the positioner. In one embodiment, the jaw positioner comprises a sleeve (20) which preferably has apertures (62) that receive the jaws, and the adjuster has a 360` helical locking surface (26) that cooperates with a 360` locking surface (24) on the driver in an axially opposed relationship to provide locking action and jaw adjustment. Another embodiment of the socket includes a unitary sleeve having a jaw positioner end that slidably engages the camming surfaces on the jaws and an adjuster end that is rotatably adjustable to adjust the jaw positions under the control of axially engaged locking surfaces on the driver and the adjuster end of the sleeve. Combined radial and axial jaw movement upon adjusting prevents jamming in both embodiments.

A collar system (50) for being rotatably mounted upon a shaft and thus enabling tensioning of springs (57) mounted upon rotatable shafts. The collar system (50) comprises a secondary attachment portion (54) adapted for mechanical connection to one end of said spring (57) mounted upon said shaft; a primary attachment portion (51) on said collar (50) having longitudinally (C) extending splines (52) formed on the outer periphery of said primary attachment portion (51); and said primary attachment portion (51) is provided with at least one groove (53) propagating transverse (D) to said splines (52). It is also disclosed a method for adjusting tension in springs (57) mounted upon rotatable shafts and a wrench assembly (1) suitable for performing the method.
摘要:
A method for adjusting tension in springs (57) mounted upon rotatable shafts is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of, applying a first and a second wrench (1, 1') for splined engagement with a collar (50) of said shaft so as to hold the collar (50) against movement in an undesired direction. The collar (50) being connected to at least one spring (57). Furthermore, the step of adjusting tension in said at least one spring (57) by winding said collar (50) with at least one of said wrenches (1, 1') until an appropriate tension of the spring (57) is achieved. It is also disclosed a wrench assembly (1) and a collar system (50) suitable for performing the method.
摘要:
An apparatus for gripping a down hole tubular for support and rotation, or a string of such tubulars, includes a body element (10) adapted to be rotated at high torques either by a top head drive or a rotary table of an earth drilling machine. Gripping elements (28) are mounted in a central cavity of the body element (10), and each gripping element (28) includes a lower gripping portion (30) shaped to engage a tapered shoulder of a length of drill pipe to support the drill pipe and an upper gripping portion (50) shaped to engage the tool joint of the drill pipe to rotate the drill pipe.
