        Description: |  
| U.S. patent corresponding to French patent FR-2237730. The focus of the patent is a turnbuckle type adjusting mechanism for an adjustable pivot point locking plier wrench. 
The patent is also of interest because the curved spring (#13 in the drawings) appears in FACOM and "copy-cat" locking plier wrenches that otherwise correspond to French patent FR-1100195.
The French patent was granted to manufacturer FACOM. 
The patent cites patents FR-1100105, Swiss and British patents, and U.S. patents 2,543,922, 2,672,778, 2,777,347, 2,981,133, 3,733,627 and 3,831,207 as references. |
