To all whom it may concern.

Be it known that I, JoHN D. FETTER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Conshohocken, in the county of Montgomery and State of Pennsylvania, have invented new and useful Improvements in Drills and Wrenches, of which the following is a speci fication.

This invention relates to tools, and has for an object the provision of a tool in which there is included a pipe wrench, a socket wrench, and a drill,.all combined in a single tool.

Another object of the invention is the provision of a tool of this character having means for remov'ably holding a variety of attachments for adapting the tool for various uses, the said attachments having a ratchet engagement with the tool handle, so that the tool may be used as an ordinary ratchet wrench or drill.

Another object of the invention is the provision of a combined wrench and drill, which is exceedingly simple in construction and operation, strong and durable in character, and consists of a small number of parts, which will not easily become broken or out of repair.

Other objects and advantages of-the invention will appear as the following description is read in connection with the accompanying drawings.

In the drawings:

Figure 1 is an edge view of a tool embodying the present invention, the said tool being shown for use as a pipe wrench.

Fig. 2 is a view at right angles to Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is an enlarged sectional view approximately on the line 3-3 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 4 is a view similar to Fig. 1 showing the arrangement of the tool for use as a socket wrench, parts being shown in section.

Fig. 5 is an enlarged section approximately on the line 5-5 of Fig. 4.

Fig. 6 is a view of the tool converted into a drill.

Fig. 7 is an enlarged section on the line 7-7 of Fig. 6.

Fig. 8 is a longitudinal sectional view at right angles to Fig. 6.

Fig. 9 is a detail perspective view of the spanner.

Fig. 10 is a similar view of the clip.

Fig. 11 is a like view of one end of the tool handle.

v Referring to the drawings in wherein like characters of reference denote corresponding parts, the tool, as illustrated, includes a handle 15, one end of which is formed with an oiiset extension 16, having an aperture 17 therein.

Pivotally secured upon a pin 18, which passes through the aperture 17, is a spanner 19, one end of which is provided with spaced apertured ears 20, for the reception of the extension 16 and pin 18, so that the said spanner will be pivotally mounted upon the handle 15. The opposite end of the spanner is provided with transversely disposed lugs 21, which are adapted to receive between them a substantially U-shaped clip 22. The arms of this clip are formed at one end with oppositely located openings 23, for the reception of the pin 18, the said arms being located upon each side of the ears 20 of the spanner. The spanner is curved, as illustrated in the drawings, and when its free end is not engaged with the clip 22, will form a yoke at the end of the handle 15, for the reception of various attachments, which may convert the tool into a socket wrench or drill. The lugs 21 are .so spaced with respect to the clip 22 as to provide a limited pivotal movement of the spanner when engaged by the clip.

The end of the handle 15 is formed with laterally extending portions 24, which are toothed, as indicated at 25, so that when the tool is used as a pipe wrench these teeth will engage and bite into the pipe, their arrangement being such as to grip the pipe when the wrench is rotated in one direction and to release the pipe when rotated in an opposite direction. This provides a ratchet movement.

When it is desired to convert the tool into a socket wrench, the clip is disengaged from the spanner, so as to permit of the insertion within the yoke of the tool of a socketed member 26. This member may be of either single formation, as shown in Fig. 4, or double, as shown in Fig. 12. In the former event there is provided a single socket 27, while the spanner 19 surrounds the reduced portion of the said member in a manner to is a similar view of a drill holder. 1s a vlew of an extension memdetail,

permit the teeth to engage teeth 28 formed around the periphery of the reduced portion. These teeth are so disposed With respect to the teeth 25 as to engage when the wrench is rotated in one direction and to be disengaged when rotated in an opposite direction. The double-socketed member 26 (Fig. 12) has its opposite ends provided with sockets 29 and 30 otditlerent sizes, and intermediate its ends is provided with spaced flanges 31, between which the spanner 19 is received. Teeth 32 are provided between the flanges 31 for engagement with the teeth 25 of the handle.

In Fig. 1a there is illustrated an extension socketed member, which comprises a shank 33, having at one end a socket 3 1 and at its opposite end teeth 35 for engagement with the teeth 25, while a flange 36 provides a shoulder against which .the edge of the spanner 19 is adapted to bear.

In Figs. 6, 7, and 8, the tool as illustrated. is used as a drill. For this purpose there is provided a socketed member 37, one'end of which is provided with a tapered socket 38. The opposite end of the member 37 is pro vided with a threaded socket 39 for the reception of an adjusting screw 10, which is adapted to lit the drill to the work. This screw is operated by a pin ll, which is normally housed withina socket 42 formed in the handle, and is adapted to be received in an opening 43 provided in the screw 40, when the said screw is adjusted. The screw is provided with tapered extremity 44, so as to permit of ease of rotation and which acts as a drill. The member 37 is provided intermediate its ends with spaced flanges 45, be tween which are located teeth &6 for engagement with the teeth 25 of the handle 15. The tool when used as a drill operates in the same manner as when used as a socket Wrench, the teeth 25 engaging the teeth at) when rotated in one direction and disengaged when rotated in an opposite direction.

The invention is susceptible of various changes in its term, proportions, and minor details of construction; and the right is herein reserved to make such changes as properly fall within the scope of the appended claims.

Having described the invention, what is claimed is:

1. A tool comprising a handle, a spanner having one end pivotally secured thereto, a ii-shaped clip pivotally secured to and embracing the handle and detachably engaging the opposite end 01" the spanner, a socketed member positioned within the spanner, and interengaging means between the handle and socketed member.

2. A tool comprising a handle, a spanner having'one-end pivotally secured thereto, a clip pivotally secured to the handle for engagement around the spanner, spaced shoul ders provided on the spanner andpositioned upon each side of the clip to permit of a limited sliding engagement between the spanner and clip, a socketed member positioned within the spanner, and interengaging means between the handle and socketed member. I V

3. A tool comprising a'handle, a spanner having one end pivotally secured thereto, a clip pivotally secured to the handle for engagement around the spanner, spaced'shoulders provided on the spanner and positioned upon each side of the clip to permit of a limited sliding engagement between-the spanner and clip, a socketed member positioned within the spanner, and a ratchet engagement between the handle and socketed member.

4. A tool comprising a handle, a spanner having one end pivotally secured thereto, a clip pivotally secured to the handle spaced shoulders located upon the free end" ofthe spanner and defining a notch for receiving the clip for detachable connection with the spanner, a socketed member positioned within the spanner, and interengaging means between the handle and socketed member.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.

JOHN D. FETTER.
