Description: |
| In this patent, the jaw surface with the gripping teeth is in line with the handle rather than at an angle (as in pat. no. 167,368). The gripping teeth are on a replaceable bit.
The application had gone through a couple of renewals and modifications between 1896 and the final grant in 1912.
The wrench citing this patent has a different arrangement for the jaw insert with the gripping teeth. |
