Description: |
| "This invention relates to finger tip wrenches comprising a finger embracing portion and a nut engaging portion positioned relative to each other whereby the finger tip of the user can readily position and hold a nut on a bolt in hard to reach places."
Spring action of the bent sheet metal forming the sides of the socket along with surrounding resilient material helps hold hex nuts in place in these.
The patent number appears on the print material accompanying sets of "Touch 'N' Hold" fingertip wrenches. These were available several years prior to this patent, and may have evolved from Faso's earlier patent 2,585,641.
Patent nos. 1,524,869, 2,611,953, 2,735,321 and GB-564,439 are cited as references. |
