ist l l HRLES LEK, OF CENTERVILLE, IOWA.
COMBINATION root.
Application fliedV May 2?, 1922. serial No. 564,135.
To all whom t may conce/rn.'
Be it known that I, CHARLES Laak, a citizen ofthe llnited States, residing. at Centerville, in thecounty of 'Appanoose vand State of `lowa, have' invented certain new and useful Improvements in Combinat-ion Tools, of which the following is a specilication.
My invention relates to combination tools, and the main object of the invention is to provide a single implement which may be used as hammer, nail or staple puller, chisel, wire cutter, multiple wrench, and wire stretcher.
Another object is to construct the iinplement so that it will be immediately available for any of the above enumerated functions without the need of resetting it or in any other manner changing the same.
ln the accompanying drawing, one embodiment of the invention is illustrated and:
Figure 1 is a side elevation of the implement partly in section,
Fig. 2 is an end view thereof,
Fig. 3 is a top plan view of Fig. 1, and
Fig. 4 is a fragmentary side elevation.
The implement consist-s of a head rigidly secured on a handle 11 in the usual manner. The head is provided with a primary hammer base 12 at one end, projecting considerably outside of the head, and with a lower or secondary hammer base 13 adjacent thereto, thus forming what might be termed a stepped hammer base. To the rear of the secondary hammer base 13 is situated a chisel edge 111 which is slightly lower than the base 13.
The opposite end of the head 10 is bifurcated whereby apair of jaws 15 are provided, the inner faces of which converge inwardly to form a V-shaped cut while their outer faces are parallel. The thin ends of the jaws 15 merge into the straight flat wall 21 at the rear end of the head` said wall projecting perpendicularly therefrom. Ap#
proaching ledges 16 are formed at the end of the rear wall 21 adjacent the merging point of the jaws with the wall. These ledges are intended to engage with a nail or staple for pulling the same, as indicated in dotted lines at 17. Similarly, the narrow opening at the inner end of the jaws is intended to engage with a nail as indicated by dotted lines at 18. The forward faces of the jaws are arcuate, as at. 19, thereby providing a variable leverage for pulling the nail 17 when the .head 10 is rolled on'the arcuate surface of the aws.
rlhe sides of the head V10V are perforated, one side, as seen in Fig. 1, having a larger opening or side window than the other side, as seen in Fig. 4. The opening or window in the lirst side has two straight sides, as at 2O and along the rear wall 21, respectively, and forming right angles with each other and a third side 22 which is curved, as seen in Fig. 1. By means of this arrangement, a permanent wrench opening is pro-vided for a nut, as indicated in dot-and-dash lines at 23, in the same ligure. The other side of the head has a stepped aperture or window having six straight sides at right angles to each other one of which coinciding with the front face of the wall 21, and the other with a straight side 2O of the first window forming an L-shaped opening 24 which, as will be readily understood, is adapted to engage a small nut, indicated by dot-anddash lines at 25, and a larger nut indicated by dot-and-dash lines at 261 in Fig. 4.
At 29 is shown a small notch at the right side of the hammer base 12. This notch is adapted to receive a nail 30 (see Fig. 1) to embrace the shank thereof and to prevent it from falling sidewise oil' the base 13 when the head of the nail is resting on the latter. It should here be noted that the hammer, o-r more particularly the base 13, is magnetized, so that an iron nail will adhere there to, the notch 29 being used to hold the nail upright.
The implement may be used in the following manner.
For driving nails, the nail 30 is first placed with its head resting on the base 13 (see Fig. 1) and the shank of the nail inserted in the notch 29. In this manner, the hammer may be turned in any direction while the nail attaches thereto, attracted by the magnetic force in the hammer, and kept upright by the notch 29. llVith a slight blow, the nail is now inserted in a board or other wooden part to be nailed so that the nail will be driven in sufficiently to stay, and the hammer may thereupon be used in the usual manner to drive the nail in completely by means of the base 12.
The jaws may also be used to engage the barbs 27 of a barb wire 28 for stretching the wire, when the arcuate surface 19 is made to roll on the post to which the wire is intended to be secured while using the handle ll as a lever.
As a wrench, the implement may be utilized as alread)r described, when at least f three different-sized bolt heads or nuts may be turned, as indicated in Figs. l
and 4f of the drawing. Y
Having thus described the invention, what .is claimed as new is:
In a claw hammer having,r ahead, a wall at the rear end of said headprojecting perpendicularly therefrom, claws at the forward end of said head having arcuate forward faces curving rearwardly, said claws oining said wall at the outer end thereof, the opposing faces of said claws forming a V-shaped cut, transverse ledges beingl formed at the junction of said wall and said claws, the adjacent faces of said wall, said head, and said Claws providing a transverse window through the hammer.
In testimony whereof I aix my signature.
