Abstract

See full text

An improved parallel-jaws locking wrench/plier with toggle action includes a body element, a fixed jaw, and a moving jaw capable of moving rectilinearly by means of an action cam, which is pivotally connected to a locking lever coupling respectively to the upper ends of a fulcrum bar and a releasing lever thereof. A handle secured to the body element has an axially adjustable element to regulate the opening of the jaws. Close to the pivot of the releasing lever are two outstanding members disposed respectively opposite sides thereof. Gripping the locking lever towards the handle till being stopped by the two outstanding members hitting said handle will toggle continuous gripping/clamping action on a workpiece. Gripping the releasing lever towards the handle will render the two outstanding members to serve as fulcrums, providing the former with leverage to force the toggle linkage back to its relaxing condition to release the workpiece. The releasing action requires only one hand.
