| Description: |  | Machine translation; "Quick-release device such as a wrench, vice, etc. Quick-clamping wrenches of such a nature have become known that when the handle is turned, the movable jaw is automatically released during unclamping by a limited movement of an intermediate link provided with threaded strips, but its free-hand adjustment is canceled again during tightening." 
Wrench produced under this patent marketed as "RAPID", along with a round-headed sliding wedge-adjust wrench {DE-340,985 } marketed as "VELOX." The ads showing these wrenches identify sellers rather than the manufacturer.
Comparable U.S. patent 1,382,247 includes provisions for employing a version of this adjustment means for a bench vise; that aspect is addressed in German patent DE-336,796. 
Note: some machine translation with transliterate "Schäfer" into "Schaefer." |  |
