GRIPSO VISE PLIERS (DEC. 1949 ad -- FLICKR)

Description: |
| The patent shares an adjustable center link with other L.C. Mead locking plier wrench patents. This patent's unique feature is the shape and location of the lock release lever.
One version of the H.R. BASFORD SAN FRANCISCO GRIPSO VISE PLIERS is an exact match for this patent, although the release lever is marked to reflect patent no. 2,514,130. Some GRIPSO VISE PLIERS also use Mead's March 6, 1951 patent (no. 2,543,922).
The specifications cite patent nos. 557,452, 557,453, 952,079, 1,294,689, 1,426,553, 1,568,934 and 2,462,709 as references. Cited in the specifications of patent no. 2,799,195. |
