In this patent recreation, I work on a type of alligator wrench designed to work with tapered fasteners. Do I know of any tapered fasteners? No. Does that mean the person who originally designed this wrench in 1911 as insane? Possibly.
You can view the original patent here: patents.google.com/patent/US9...
All major parts were made of 1" thick 4140 steel hardened to 47 HRc. I tried to cut the serrated swivel-jaw portion with the metal planer, but switched to machining on the milling machine after one face because my arm was going to fall off.
I chose not to polish this wrench to a mirror finish as it already looks too much like something you would put in a dark place while bending over.
In the end, it worked well and the spring action of the swivel jaw would be useful in modern pipe wrenches.

One of the assignees of his patents, the Central Tool Company, is still in business in Rhode Island and still making tools in the USA.

My great-grandfather showed me a picture of this tool many years ago and said it was designed specifically for tightening up the special tapered nuts that hold the spikes on the head of the Statue of Liberty. He told me that at the time, there was some concern that they were loosening during the winter gales, and the spikes might fall off. A man was sent up with one of these tools and they've had no trouble ever since.

Many manufacturing plants had chemical processes back in the day with those kinds of nozzles (just smaller). Often for washing/cleaning. The tool rooms often fabricated and installed the nozzles on site, hence a tool like this. Cranston, RI (where the patent was filed) was know for textiles, ropes, cables, and paper. All of those industries use tapered mandrels or nozzles

One step at a time. I built a 3D printer for $60 way back when I was homeless, it took years to get it working right with junk parts but I eventually used that to make an MPCNC, and am now using the MPCNC to make 6 axis robots. I'll never have a big heavy lathe or mill for super high accuracy since just picking up the chuck would probably give me a hernia and I have nowhere to put them, but it's a lot of fun even on a smaller scale, and I'm constantly surprised by what a tiny tabletop CNC can do, with some tuning and rigidity improvements (I just put a piece of angle iron in the rails and filled them with epoxy, and it can cut pretty thick steel now, albeit slowly)

Definitely 1 of the strangest looking tools I've seen. My guess is it was conceived for a very job specific use. Like when a completely new designed aircraft or vehicle is being produced and the engineers need 1 specific tool for a certain section to do something that no other tool can do. For instance when they were building the SR-71 Blackbird they had to invent brand new tools and machines to work and shape the metal for the airframe because the titanium was so hard that nothing that was in use or invented at the time could handle the job. Just a guess.

Cool tool. I have seen some threaded, cone shaped nozzles for water and air jets, low pressure stuff. They did not have a machined face for a typical wrench, just a nice smooth cone. Perfect application. Normal? Nope, but this tool is probably what some of the comments suggest, specialty tool. It's the "need a tool, make a tool" taken to another level. A pipe wrench with one articulating/rotating jaw would be a cool modification, adjustable as well. You could pull it off.

Possibly teeth on old mining equipment, where once it's worn out, there may not be flats on the base anymore, and all that's left is a lump of metal shaped like a gum drop. I could also see it for installing or removing fuses on artillery shells, where the nose of the shell screws in, and you potentially have nothing but a smooth cone to work with. This was just after WWI afterall.

@44R0Ndin
@44R0Ndin 2 роки тому
If the opposing jaw was also cut, you'd have to design in a joint that allows the two halves of the jaw to be separated in order to extract the thing you were just turning with it, and then you'd end up with something approximating channel-lock pliers or a plumber's wrench. If you've noticed, the jaw of plumbers' wrenches always has a lot of play in relation to the handle. This is intentional, because it is critical to being able to get the wrench to release from what it was turning. The specific design of both the wrench's system of attaching the moving jaw to the handle, and the serrations in both the jaw and the opposing gripping face on the handle, both allow the plumber's wrench to act as a ratchet when properly adjusted. Most people that aren't familiar with them tighten the jaw too much. They're also not really intended to hold hex-head fasteners as the jaws being parallel is never guaranteed and always sub-optimal from a "grip strength" perspective, but they will in a pinch.

My guess is that this is more useful as a pipe wrench than as a wrench for fasteners. It's easier to "get in" if things are inaccessible because you don't have to reach around the pipe as with a regular pipe wrench, but can access things from the front. It also doesn't need adjustment.

Absolutely beautiful watching you work, and I am not questioning that the patent described it as a solid square chunk for the jaw. This question is more for my own education... is there a reason not to use a stack of square "washers" to build up that stack? Especially with the spring washer tensioner, I would think it would be even better for applying grip to irregularly shaped items, would be simpler to mill a single 45° edge (sharper bite) as in the illustration rather than the 90° valley that is required without a highly specialized milling bit. It would make replacement easier and more cost efficent since you could remove damaged washers, slide undamaged ones down, and purchase more to top off the stack from your tool company. Given the shape, I'd definitely expect the body to be cast with minimal machining, but again, you made a piece of art that also demonstrates the tools basic usability as well.

Pretty cool , like you said it is unusual at best. I'm wondering if maybe it might have been used in the railroad trade to keep from having to carry a lot of tools from one end of the train to the other, what do you think? Thanks,

Nice~ Specializedtools on Reddit might want to know about this. A bunch of square washers stacked loose on the fastener pivot thing would work. Then the edges could be left as stamped out of sheet metal and it would be fine. - Guessing this kind of bespoke tool is what this patent is supposed to industrialize.

15:20 was your spring washer intentionally bend in reverse? Usually they're bend the other way so the accompanying nut doesn't unscrew and the washer edges dig in. But the way it's bent would allow possible unscrewing.

Perhaps there were many poorly written and joke patents coming into the office. Your predecessors had to draw the line somewhere.

It is the spring washer that makes it work so good I think. That little movement permits the better indentation of the jaw on flat surfaces and the grip as well.
