Abstract
An apparatus for rotating a fastening element comprising a polygonal section such as a hexagonal nut or bolt from an arbitrary angular position to a predetermined angular position. The apparatus comprises a base member having a pocket for receiving the fastening element so as to freely rotatable therein, and a pair of positioning slides arranged on opposite sides of said pocket so as to be displaceable in parallel and opposite directions. The positioning slides have parallel positioning surfaces facing each other and provided with arcuate recesses arranged so that opposite corners of the fastening element when in its arbitrary position project thereinto. When the positioning slides are displaced in opposite directions, the walls of the recesses cooperate with the projecting corners of the fastening element so as to rotate the fastening element from its arbitrary angular position to the predetermined angular position.
