Abstract

Abstract An elongated cylindrical handle has a diametrical bore formed therethrough intermediate the ends thereof. A shower arm wrench body of hollow cylindrical configuration has an inner diameter equal to the diameter of the handle and an outer diameter greater than the diameter of the handle and is internally threaded and extends coaxially with a first end of the handle. A plurality of planar strips are equiangularly spaced from each other and taper downward to a second, opposite, end of the handle from an area spaced from the second end. The second end is insertable into a gas log lighter flange for tightening such flange. An axial bore formed in the handle from the second end accommodates the stem of a log lighter valve and has a plurality of equiangularly spaced grooves formed therein at the second end of the handle. A torque handle of shaft-like configuration is releasably accommodated in the diametrical bore of the handle for applying a torque thereto.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim 171 words
A multipurpose tub wrench, comprising an elongated substantially cylindrical handle having spaced opposite first and second ends, said handle having a diametrical bore formed therethrough intermediate the ends thereof; a shower arm wrench body of hollow cylindrical configuration having an inner diameter substantially equal to the diameter of the handle, said wrench body being internally threaded and extending coaxially with the first end of the handle; a plurality of substantially planar strips equiangularly spaced from each other and tapering downward to the second end of the handle from an area spaced from the second end, said second end being insertable into a gas log lighter flange for tightening said flange, and an axial bore formed in the handle from the second end for accommodating the stem of a log lighter valve, the axial bore having a plurality of equiangularly spaced grooves formed therein at the second end of the handle; and a torque handle of shaft-like configuration removably accommodated in the diametrical bore of the handle for applying a torque thereto.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 171 words
A multipurpose tub wrench, comprising an elongated substantially cylindrical handle having spaced opposite first and second ends, said handle having a diametrical bore formed therethrough intermediate the ends thereof; a shower arm wrench body of hollow cylindrical configuration having an inner diameter substantially equal to the diameter of the handle, said wrench body being internally threaded and extending coaxially with the first end of the handle; a plurality of substantially planar strips equiangularly spaced from each other and tapering downward to the second end of the handle from an area spaced from the second end, said second end being insertable into a gas log lighter flange for tightening said flange, and an axial bore formed in the handle from the second end for accommodating the stem of a log lighter valve, the axial bore having a plurality of equiangularly spaced grooves formed therein at the second end of the handle; and a torque handle of shaft-like configuration removably accommodated in the diametrical bore of the handle for applying a torque thereto.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 74 words
A multipurpose tub wrench as claimed in claim 1, wherein the torque handle has spaced opposite first and second ends, a standard screwdriver blade formed at its first end, a pair of Philips screwdriver blades formed at its second end, and a plurality of equiangularly spaced lugs extending radially from the torque handle intermediate the first and second ends thereof and accommodatable in the grooves formed in the second end of the elongated handle.
