Having reference now to the drawings, there is generally indicated at IIJ a sleeve having a female tures in the bifurcationsv 51 threaded portion Il at one extremity to which is 50 threadedly secured a second sleeve l2, the opposite end of which is threadedly'engaged with a female thread I3 of handle member I4 provided with extending lugs l5, to whichis pivotally secured, as on a pivot pin I6, a second handle member` l1.

i A slightly modied form of construction is disclosed in Figure 8, wherein a member 49a, adapted to be substituted for member 49, issimilarly provided with a semi-circular extending portion 48a adapted to engage in the recess 41,` and provided with'hexagonal apertures 50a and 5Ia, instead of the circular holes or apertures of the member 49.

A stop member, or spacer, 60 comprised of an extending portion 6| having a right angularly disposed lug 62 thereon, and a cylindrical portion 63,

is adapted to be positioned about sleeve I2 and held in position, as by a set screw 64 passed `through a suitable threaded bore therein.

' desired angular relationship, in conformity to the configuration of the pipe is achieved. lA bolt is then positioned either through apertures 35, 50 and42, or apertures 31, 5l and 43, it here being `pointed out that the rst set of aperturesvis adapted to be utilized for bolts or rivets having.

heads, the head being adapted to t within the cup-shaped portion of member 45, and-the second set of apertures adapted particularly for the use of nat-headed rivets or bolts, or the like.

is compressed wthrespect to the handle member i4, such movement causing inward movementA of the rods 20, 22 and 55, thus moving the member 49 and disaligning apertures 5d and 5I with re-` spect to apertures 36 and 31, and 42 and 43, and effectively clamping the rivet or bolt in position within the recesses, until such time as it is suitably located in the desired position. In the event a rivet is used, after the riveting block has been positioned therebehind, or in the event a bolt is used, after a nut-has been secured thereon, the handle member I1 is released, and the spring 25, abutting nut 23, forces the parts back into position, thus realigning the apertures 5i] and 5I and the apertures 36 and 31, and 4-2 and 43, whereupon the instrument may be `readily removed from the positioned bolt and withdrawn for reuse.

Now, from the foregoing, it will be seen that there is herein provided a device which is sturdy and durable in construction, reliable and eiiicient in operation, and relatively simple and inexpensive to manufacture and operate, which accomplishes allof the objects of this invention and others, including many advantages of great practical utility and commercial importance.

I claim:

l. In a device of the character described, in combination, a sleeve, two spaced plates having aligned apertures therein secured to said sleeve, a plate having apertures therein positioned between said 'lrst-mentioned plates, and means extending throughsaid'sleeve for moving said lastmentioned plate to disalign said apertures.

`2.v In a device of the character described, in combination, a sleeve, two spaced plates having aligned apertures therein secured to said sleeve,

a plate having apertures therein positioned between said iirst-mentioned plates, and means extending through said sleeve for moving said lastmentioned plate to disalign said apertures, said last-mentioned means including a rod terminating in a handle member at the extremity of said sleeve.

3. In a device of the character described, in combination, a sleeve, two spaced plates having aligned apertures therein secured to said sleeve, a plate having apertures therein positioned between said first-mentioned plates, means extending through said sleeve for moving said lastmentioned plate to disalign said apertures, said last-mentioned means including a rod terminating in a handie member at'the extremity of said sleeve, and resilient means for returning said plate to position to align said apertures.

4. In a device of the character described, in combination, a sleeve, a second sleeve pivotally secured thereto, .two spaced plates having apertures therein secured to said'second sleeve, a plate having apertures therein positioned between said first-mentioned plates, and means extending through said sleeves for moving said last-mentioned plate to disalign said apertures.
