ABSTRACT:
For uprightly attached vehicular wheels, the horizontal wheel-depth is so large that two workmen are required to remove and re-install the bolts attaching the wheel to the axle assembly. The novel wrench-holding fixture herein, which is removably installed vertically alongside the wheel well, eliminates the need for that secondary workman heretofore employed for holding the elongate bolt wrench parallel to the wheel geometric-center. The wrench-holding fixture includes a vertically upright jig-plate having a plurality of strategically positioned and readily accessible downwardly extending slots terminating as wrench-resting shelves horizontally alignable with the several wheel bolt locations. Sturdy riser means (such as radiating bottomlegs) and a vertically radiating topleg components permit the fixture to be manually frictionally installed to the horizontally circular wheel ridge and in a condition wherein the jig-plate wrench-resting shelves are adapted to steadily maintain the elongate bolt wrench in horizontal condition for manipulation by a lever wielding unassisted workman. The wrench-holding fixture might include other optionally employable features ancillary to the construction, installation, and use of the wrench-holding fixture.
