Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
121 words
A C-clamp comprising a generally C-shaped frame formed by a pair of arms joined by a shank, a clamping screw having actuating means at its outer end and threadably engaging a threaded hole through one arm of same frame, said one arm having a hexagonal wrenchable potion thereon coaxial with said clamping screw, said hexagonal portion being sized to fit standard open end and box wrenches and extending toward the outer end of the clamping screw and capable of receiving torque applied thereto by a standard size open end or box wrench, whereby the C-clamp can be effectively and safely held against rotation by a chosen one of said wrenches while clamping forces are applied by rotation of the clamping screw.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
121 words
A C-clamp comprising a generally C-shaped frame formed by a pair of arms joined by a shank, a clamping screw having actuating means at its outer end and threadably engaging a threaded hole through one arm of same frame, said one arm having a hexagonal wrenchable potion thereon coaxial with said clamping screw, said hexagonal portion being sized to fit standard open end and box wrenches and extending toward the outer end of the clamping screw and capable of receiving torque applied thereto by a standard size open end or box wrench, whereby the C-clamp can be effectively and safely held against rotation by a chosen one of said wrenches while clamping forces are applied by rotation of the clamping screw.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
20 words
A C-clamp as defined in claim 1, wherein the hexagonal portion extends from the outer side of the one arm.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
19 words
A C-clamp as defined in claim 1, wherein the hexagonal portion extends throughout the length of the threaded hole.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
81 words
A C-clamp as defined in claims 1, 2, or 3, wherein a second clamping screw having actuating means at its outer end is threadably carried by a threaded hole in the other of said pair of arms, a second hexagonal wrenchable portion extending toward the outer end of the second clamping screw to enable a standard size box wrench to be applied to the second hexagonal portion, the second hexagonal portion being sized to fit standard open end and box wrenches.
