The "Allen screw" name for the socket head cap screw and "Allen key" for the wrench originate from the products of the Allen Manufacturing Company of Hartford, Connecticut. According to Bates, it is widely reported that the company trademarked the name "Allen wrench or key" for its range of hex wrenches in 1943.
The Allen wrench trademark of the Allen Manufacturing Company owas taken out in 1943, Allen became such a successful brand of hex key that many consumers in following decades have assumed (reasonably but incorrectly) that the internal-wrenching hexagon drive was invented by someone named Allen.
