Abstract

A wrench combination device includes three open-jawed wrench sockets. A first open jawed wrench socket is at one end of the device, and a second open jawed wrench socket, which is substantially identical to the first, is at an extreme opposite end. A third open jawed wrench socket is centered between and is inline with the first and second open-jawed wrench sockets, and has two portals. The first portal is open at two opposite ends and extends normal to a plane passing through the first and second open jawed wrench sockets. The second portal opens on one side of the third socket and extends in the plane passing through the first and second open jawed wrench sockets.

Claims (36)

1. A wrench combination device comprising:

a first open-jawed wrench socket at a first end of said device;

a second wrench socket disposed at a second end of said device, said second end being at an extreme opposite end relative to said first end;

a third open-jawed wrench socket centered between and inline with said first and said second open-jawed wrench sockets, said third open-jawed wrench socket comprising two portals:

a first portal open at two opposite ends which extends normal to a plane passing through said first and said second open-jawed wrench sockets; and

a second portal open on a single side of said third open-jawed wrench socket extending in said plane passing through said first and said second open-jawed wrench sockets,

wherein said first portal of said third open-jawed wrench socket is enclosed on a majority of sides,

wherein each side of said majority of sides is substantially flat and has an equal non-right angle to at least one adjacent side of said majority of sides, and said second portal has a length equal to each side of said majority of sides of said third open-jawed wrench socket.

2. A wrench combination device comprising:

a first-jawed wrench socket at a first end of said device;

a second wrench socket disposed at a second end of said device, said second end being at an extreme opposite end relative to said first end;

a third opened-jawed wrench socket centered between and inline with said first and said second open-jawed wrench sockets, said third open-jawed wrench socket comprising two portals:

a first portal open at two opposite ends which extends normal to a plane passing through said first and said second open-jawed wrench sockets; and

a second portal open on a single side of said third open-jawed wrench socket extending in said plane passing through said first and said second open-jawed wrench sockets,

wherein said first portal of said third open-jawed wrench socket is enclosed on a majority of sides,

wherein a shape formed by a combination of said second portal and said majority of sides of said third open-jawed wrench socket forms a regular polygon shape,

wherein each side of said majority of sides of said third open-jawed wrench socket has embedded therein a magnet,

wherein every horizontally-oriented plane passing through one magnet of said magnets also passes through each other magnet of said magnets,

wherein each said magnet, excepting for those closest to a spaced apart region, is at a substantially identical angle to each adjacent magnet,

wherein each said magnet applies a strongest magnetic force on a most adjacent side relative to said magnet.

3. The wrench combination of claim 2 , wherein each side of said majority of sides of said third open-jawed wrench socket has a substantially identical magnetic force applied thereto by each said respective magnet.

4. A wrench combination device comprising:

a first open-jawed wrench socket at a first end of said device;

a second wrench socket disposed at a second end of said device, said second end being at an extreme opposite end relative to said first end;

a third open-jawed wrench socket centered between and inline with said first and said second open-jawed wrench sockets, said third open-jawed wrench socket comprising two portals:

a first portal open at two opposite ends which extends normal to a plane passing through said first and said second open-jawed wrench sockets; and

a second portal open on a single side of said third open-jawed wrench socket extending in said plane passing through said first and said second open-jawed wrench sockets,

wherein said first portal of said third open-jawed wrench socket is enclosed on a majority of sides,

wherein a shape formed by a combination of said second portal and said majority of sides of said third open-jawed wrench socket forms a regular polygon shape,

wherein each side of said majority of sides of said third open-jawed wrench socket has embedded therein a magnet,

wherein every horizontally-oriented plane passing through one magnet of said magnets also passes through each other magnet of said magnets,

wherein each said magnet, excepting for those closest to a spaced apart region, is at a substantially identical angle to each adjacent magnet,

wherein a combination of said respective magnetic forces of each said respective magnet secures a nut situated within said third-open jawed wrench,

wherein magnetic force emanating alone or in combination from said magnets causes a nut situated within said third open-jawed wrench and on a threaded rod to be held in place relative to said threaded rod and to said device when pulled by a force due to Earth gravity.

5. The wrench combination device of claim 4 , wherein said magnets are of a strength such that said device remains connected to and partially encircling said nut situated within said third open-jawed wrench and on said threaded rod when a force from a normal adult human arm shifts said device around said nut without removing said device from said nut.

6. The wrench combination device of claim 5 , wherein said magnets are of a strength such that, when a force from a normal adult human arm shifts said device around said nut situated within said third open-jawed wrench and on said threaded rod without removing said device from said nut, said magnetic force pulls said nut such that a midpoint of any substantially unbroken side of said nut is held against a midpoint of a respective side of said majority of sides of said third open jawed wrench socket.
