Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Adapters are described which enable a wide array of tools to be secured and/or mounted in a chain pipe vise. Also described are methods of using adapters with chain pipe vises in order to stably mount tools in the chain pipe vise.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An adapter for mounting a tool to a chain vise, the adapter comprising: a stanchion defining a first end and a second opposite end; at least one leg extending outward from the stanchion; a key extending outward from the stanchion, wherein the key extends outward from a center axis of the stanchion at an angle of from 20° to 40°; wherein the stanchion is sized and shaped to be received and engaged with the chain vise, and the leg is configured to contact a support surface associated with the chain vise. 2. The adapter of claim 1 further comprising: at least one support, each support extending laterally outward from the stanchion, each support defining a distal end. 3. The adapter of claim 2 further comprising: at least one adjustable coupling, each coupling engaged at the distal end of a respective support. 4. The adapter of claim 2 wherein each support extends transverse to a center axis of the stanchion. 5. The adapter of claim 3 wherein each adjustable coupling includes a mount engaged at the distal end of a respective support and a linearly displaceable member engaged with the mount. 6. The adapter of claim 5 wherein the linearly displaceable member includes a handle and an engagement end for affixment to a tool. 7. The adapter of claim 1 wherein the key extends outward from the stanchion such that upon proper axial placement of the adapter relative to the chain vise, the key contacts the chain vise. 8. The adapter of claim 1 wherein the adapter is integral with a tool.
