Adaptable wrench for damage fastener engagement head
An improved open-ended wrench that is adaptable for engaging hexagonal head nuts with non-specific engagement surfaces. The wrench provides a handle with an open working end having opposed flat jaw working surfaces with a positional work piece engagement cavity there between. A contact enabling contoured notch cutout in each flat inside working surface with corresponding standard and non-standard support and torque engagement surface respectively inwardly from the junction of the concave cavity portion.
1. A one-piece open end wrench head with upper and lower jaw portions in spaced parallel relation, each having a pair of respective parallel inner engagement surfaces therewithin,
a concave cavity within said wrench head from said respective jaw portions,
said respective pairs of inner engagement surfaces being flat, said upper jaw portion inner engagement surfaces pairs extending respectively inwardly from an open end of said wrench head and outwardly from said concave cavity,
said lower jaw portion inner engagement surface pairs extending respectively inwardly from an open end of said wrench head and outwardly from an angular upstanding fastener registration surface at the junction of said concave cavity,
a pair of engagement notches in spaced vertical offset relation to one another between said respective inner pairs of jaw portion engagement surfaces,
each of said engagement notches having a tapered recess therein in oppositely disposed facing relation to one another,
a fastener head engagement portion at a junction of said concave cavity and said flat engagement surface extending from said engagement notch in said upper jaw inner engagement surface.
2. The wrench head of claim 1 wherein said upper jaw portion's pair of inner engagement surfaces are flat on horizontal planes extending from said open end of said wrench head to a fastener head engagement point.
3. The wrench head of claim 1 wherein said lower jaw portion's respective flat inner engagement surface extending inwardly from said open end of said wrench head is on a respective lower horizontal plane than said pairs flat engagement surface extending from said engagement notch to said angular upstanding fastener registration surface at the junction of said concave cavity.
4. The wrench head of claim 1 wherein said flat engagement surface extending from said lower jaw portion engagement notch is longer than said flat engagement surface extending from said upper jaw portion engagement notch to said concave cavity.
