Ihave shown 'l range in size without the necessity of special a filler-block C between these plates, but with adjustment of any part.

This iiller-block is secured by upon the pull upon the handle and also by rivets C2 and is provided witha lug C at its 8 5 the use of a spring to automatically close the outer end extending toward the back side, jawsu on the article to be gripped. thus keeping the body of the block away I wi l now .describe my invention as it is from the web a, forming a socket ,for the reshown in the drawings. The principal jaw', ception of the jaw-closing springE. This is Y.

or the 'one which may properly be called the a' helically-coiled wire spring bearing at one 9o fixed or fulcrum jaw, comprises two end against the lug C (which is equivalent to separated plate members A, these preferably bearing against the jaw A) and at the other 49 being f iXedly connected with each other by end bearing against the swinging lug B. Prefother means than the pivots. The preferred erably the bearing of the spring against the form of construction is to make both of a `sinaw B should be iixed against accidental disy9 5 gle plate bent into shape, leaving a connectplacement. I have shown this as secured by ing-Web a at the back. This jaw has two a pin F, which enters the coil of the spring givots 1 and 2. The other or swinging jaw and is pivoted to the rear of the j awby a pin is journaled on that one of the pivots 1 f. IThis construction forms an inclosed which is nearest that end of the principal jaw pocket in which the spring may lie securely roo A, which is provided with gri ping-surfaces. protected against accldent "or displacement Both jaws are provided wit gripping-surno matter vhow the Wrench is used.

For such purposes 1. .A Wrench comprising a jaw having two 105 Iprefer to dispose the teeth in an inclined or separated plate members and two pivots, a

i a complementary jaw tween said plate members, and having a toothed segment, andahandle-lever also pivf toothed segment of the j aw.

' separated plate members connected by a vervalso pivoted to and betweensaid plate y. members and having a i two separated plate members and an intecomplementary jaw journaled upon one of said pivots between said plates and having a toothed segment, a handle journaled upon the other pivot between said plates and having a toothed segment engaging said toothed segment upon the jaw and a spring lying between said plate members and acting. upon said jaws to close them.

2. A'wrench comprising a jaw having two separated plate members and two pivots, a complementary jaw journaled upon one of bers at the back and engaging both jaws to close them.

5. A wrench comprising a jaw having two separated plate members connected at their back and having two pivots, a jaw jouiiialed between said plates upon one of said pivots and provided with a toothed segment on its inner end, the outer end oi' said jaw being adapted when closed to swing between the two plates constituting the other jaw, a handle journaled between said plates on the other pivot and having a toothed segment meshing with the toothed segment of the other jaw, and a spring lying between said plates at the back and engaging both-jaws to close them.

6. A wrench comprising a jaw having two separated plate members connected by a web at their back edges, a iiller-block secured between said plates at their outer portions and forming a spring-retaining socket along the connecting-web, a jaw pivoted between said plate members, and engaging said last-ineiitioiied jaw, and a handle-lever pivoted between the rear portions of said plate members, said liaiidle-lever and the pivoted jaw being connected to swing together.
