Claims
- 1. A substrate mounted hand tool comprising:
- a substrate member having a substantially planar surface;
- a stationary jaw positioned on said substrate surface and removably engaged to said substrate;
- a movable jaw;
- a slide bar, said movable jaw being mounted to said slide bar;
- support means for supporting said slide bar positioned adjacent to said substrate and removably engaged to said substrate; said stationary jaw being spaced away from said support means and facing said movable jaw;
- one-way drive means for releasably engaging and, when engaged, for advancing said slide bar and said movable jaw to an advanced position and holding said movable jaw in said advanced position, said one-way drive means having at least a driving lever; and
- a longitudinally extending clamping handle pivotably mounted at said support means and contacting said driving lever and extending transverse to said slide bar when said one-way drive means is released from said slide bar and extending generally parallel to said slide bar to cause said one-way drive means to be engaged with said slide bar.
- 2. Apparatus in accordance with claim 1 having receiving means in said support means spaced from said one-way drive means, a release tab pivotable at said receiving means and having an engaging portion adjacent to said slide bar extending outwardly from said support means and away from said clamping handle for releasably engaging said slide bar.
- 3. Apparatus in accordance with claim 1 wherein said stationary jaw and said support means are provided with respective mounting posts of essentially the same cross-section and said substrate is provided at its planar surface with a plurality of apertures of the same but slightly larger cross-section than that of the posts, said mounting posts being inserted in separate apertures of said substrate and being removably engaged therewith.
- 4. Apparatus in accordance with claim 1 wherein said stationary jaw and said support means are provided with respective mounting posts of essentially the same circular cross-section and said substrate is provided at its planar surface with a plurality of apertures of the circular cross-section slightly larger than the cross-section of the posts, said mounting posts being inserted in separate apertures of said substrate and being rotatably engaged therewith.
- 5. Apparatus in accordance with claim 3 wherein the mounting post of said support means extends transverse to the said slide bar.
- 6. Apparatus in accordance with claim 1 wherein said substrate is provided with a plurality of apertures and said support means is provided with a mounting post for removably engaging an aperture of said substrate.
- 7. A substrate mounted hand tool comprising:
- a substrate member having a substantially planar surface with a plurality of apertures;
- a stationary jaw having a mounting post positioned on said substrate surface and removably engaged to said substrate by way of said mounting post;
- a movable jaw;
- a slide bar, said movable jaw being mounted on one end of said slide bar, said slide bar being slidably movable to bring said movable jaw toward and away from said stationary jaw;
- support means for slidably supporting said slide bar, said stationary jaw being spaced away from said support means and positioned opposite said movable jaw;
- a mounting post of circular cross-section affixed to said support means for removably engaging said substrate at one of said apertures;
- one-way drive means for releasably engaging and, when engaged, for advancing said slide bar and attached movable jaw to an advanced position and holding said movable jaw in said advanced position,
- said one-way drive means having a driving lever, and a release tab lever releasably engaged to said slide bar to restrain movement of said slide bar away from said stationary jaw;
- a longitudinally extending handle pivotably mounted to said support means and contacting said driving lever and extending transverse to said slide bar when said one-way drive means is released from said slide bar and extending generally parallel to said slide bar to cause said one-way drive means to be engaged with said slide bar,
- whereby pivotal motion of said longitudinally extending handle toward said slide bar results in said driving lever engaging and moving said slide rod and said movable jaw toward said stationary jaw.
- 8. A hand tool comprising:
- a movable jaw;
- a slide bar, said movable jaw being mounted to said slide bar;
- support means for supporting said slide bar; adapted to removably engage a substrate;
- one-way drive means for releasably engaging and, when engaged, for advancing said slide bar and said movable jaw to an advanced position and holding said movable jaw in said advanced position, said one-way drive means having at least a driving lever; and
- a longitudinally extending clamping handle pivotably mounted at said support means and contacting said driving lever and extending transverse to said slide bar when said one-way drive means is released from said slide bar and extending generally parallel to said slide bar to cause said one-way drive means to be engaged with said slide bar.
- 9. Apparatus in accordance with claim 8 having receiving means in said support means spaced from said one-way drive means, a release tab pivotable at said receiving means and having an engaging portion adjacent to said slide bar extending outwardly from said support means and away from said clamping handle for releasably engaging said slide bar.
- 10. Apparatus in accordance with claim 8 wherein said support means is provided with a respective mounting post of circular cross-section.
- 11. Apparatus in accordance with claim 8 wherein the mounting post of said support means extends transverse to the said slide bar.
