Description:
The focus of the patent is the effectiveness of an angle bend in a rotatible wrench handle to do meaningful work in places of limited access. The specifications include a rehearsal of the considerations leading to the bend being 7 1/2 degrees.

The specifications & drawings relate this principle to a variety of wrench heads, including open end, box end, and ratchet.

Alloy Artifacts shows an example of WILLIAMS S-20C sliding "T" handle employing this principle.
