Description: |
| The patent is for the latch and associated features for setting the size and holding the grip of a chain wrench or tongs. The implied size of the latch suggests the tool is for larger scale pipe as used in oil exploration and production.
Subsequent Bessolo patent nos. 1,651,575, 1,651,576 and 1,651,577 appear to be improvements to this design or alternative latch arrangements for a similar design.
Bessolo patented two other tongs designs -- see nos. 1,447,920 and 1,611,808.
