Snap-On screwdriver patent ?

[old salvage]

Does anyone know what "Pat Pend" refers to on the orange handle driver ?
I dont think its for the handle itself because the black handle has a patent number for that and it has the older style logo.

nut shape design right under the handle?

But Klien also has this nut design on some screwdrivers. It's probably the orange color that they patented

The vast majority of Snap-on's patents relating to screwdrivers cover "The ornamental design for a screwdriver handle, as shown and described."

IIRC it was for the handle shape

Maybe they can have a Plomb/Plumb style battle with Rigid.

I've been looking for a patent like the one above and cant find anything.
Maybe its to have it reissued or something.

Thanks everyone.
