This invention relates to compound tools of the monkey-wrench type and has for an object to provide a wrench embodying an unusual number of combinations and elements, each one performing its function in an improved manner and presenting improved utility.

A further object of the invention is to provide a new form of quick-acting slidingjaw wrench with improved means for minute adjustment after such quick-acting adjustment.

A further object of the invention is to provide improved features in combination with the wrench elements, whereby the device serves the purpose of many implements, making the carrying of a single implement sufficient for many needs.

With these and other objects in view the device comprises certain novel units, elements, parts, and combinations as will be hereinafter more fully described and claimed.

In the drawings:

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the implement;

Fig. 2 is a view of a fragment of the implement in side elevation, a part being broken away to show the relation of the nut with the rack;

Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional view taken on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2;

Fig. 4 is a view in elevation of the hasp and nut; and

Fig. 5 is a sectional view taken on'line 5-5 of Fig, 2, showing the means for looking the hasp relative to the sliding jaw.

Like characters of reference indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views.

The improved implement which forms the subject-matter of this application comprises a handle 10 having a head 11 thereon, and with a sliding jaw shown as an entirety at 12. The head 11 comprises at one end a hammer member 13 and in the end face an undercut V-shaped slot 14 adapted for en-- with the concavity Specification ofLetters Patent. 1 Pat'gnt d Ap 25 1922 I Application-filed January 11,1921.
