        Appeal No. 2006-0054                                                          
        Application No. 10/007,189                                                    

        longitudinal outer end of the wrench when the parts are assembled             
        and an opposite second inner end, said left and right parts                   
        respectively having walls defining differently-sized, non-circular            
        sockets in the first outer ends thereof to be located at the                  
        opposite longitudinal ends of the assembled parts and applied over            
        differently sized elements to be rotated by the wrench, said                  
        sockets each having an end opening thereat onto the exterior of the           
        part involved so that the socket can be applied over and its                  
        defining walls interlock with a selected element of corresponding             
        size to be rotated by said wrench and an opposite end opening onto            
        a first smaller driver member-receiving bore in turn opening upon a           
        second ball member-forming part-receiving bore, said first smaller            
        driver member-receiving bore having bore-defining walls adapted to            
        interlock with an external driver member means sized to be inserted           
        into the open end of the associated larger outer socket and then              
        moved inwardly into the associated driver member-receiving bore               
        where it interlocks with said left or right part involved so that             
        so that rotation of the driver member will rotate the wrench and              
        turn said element enveloped by said socket at the other end of the            
        assembled wrench;                                                             
            a ball member-forming part adapted to be secured to and                   
        between the said second inner ends of said left and right external            
        driver member means-receiving parts, the second inner ends of the             
        left and right parts respectively having walls defining a pair of             
        ball member-receiving surfaces, at least one of which forms a                 
        ball-receiving bore; said ball member-forming part having a ball-             
        forming end adapted to adjustably fit in said ball-receiving bore             
        of one of said left and right parts and an [sic] a second end                 
        adapted to be fixedly mounted against the ball member-receiving               
        surfaces of the other of said left and right parts; and                       
            pivot-forming first and second means permitting the pivoting              
        of said ball-forming end of said ball member-forming part in the              
        ball-receiving bore involved at least in a plane which includes a             
        longitudinal axis extending between said outer ends of the wrench.
