Abstract
A new and improved lever arm apparatus for door closers and the like is adapted to be detachably mounted on a rotary shaft and includes a lever arm formed of a thin piece of flat metal having a key-shaped opening dimensioned to receive a portion of the shaft extended transversely between opposite faces of the arm. A wedge plate or hub is adapted to be detachably mounted on one face of the lever arm and is also formed with a key-shaped opening for receiving a shaft. At least one removable fastener is provided for securing the wedge plate to the lever arm at a point outwardly of the openings and the hub or wedge plate includes a sloping cam surface engaged by the fastener for rotatably shifting the relative positions of the lever arm and wedge plate to tightly clamp the flatted surface of the key-shaped openings against the rotary shaft with a scissors-type pinching action.
