Abstract
The invention is directed to a manipulating device for remotely-controlled anipulation of tools such as an impact wrench or the like. The device includes a support structure for the tool and suspension means for engaging a load hook of a crane pulley or a power manipulator. The support structure includes two side pieces arranged parallel with one another and fixed laterally to the tool. The side pieces contain longitudinally extending slots which connect the end locations which correspond to the horizontal and vertical working positions of the composite assembly made up of the tool and support. The suspension means includes a carrying yoke which can be displaced relative to the support structure. The yoke is guided at its lower end in the longitudinally extending slots. The manipulating device can be moved between its horizontal and vertical working positions without the need for any additional mechanical holding or moving components.
