Description: |
| The shank of a monkey wrench has a "notch" to help support the "back strain" of the adjusting screw against a two-part ferule and handle. In the early 1870s, A.G. COES & Co. ads were featuring this "lock ferule."
In one phase of one of the lawsuits in the COLLINS v. COES patent infringement litigation, issue was taken with some of the "re-wording" in this reissue compared to the 52,968 original, and the claims in the "Jordan & Smith" patent 50,364 used by Collins & Co. |
