Description: |
| A spring holds the jaws open. A sliding wedge on the movable jaw and a yoke pivoting from the fixed jaw provide the adjusting means. The patent was realized as malleable iron nut or pipe wrenches.
Vandegrift received another patent for a different quick-adjusting pipe wrench a week later (pat. no. 444,511). |
