Definitions

  • the invention relates to a hand-held striking tool, such as an ax, a hatchet or a hoe, consisting of a head with a cutting edge and a handle, having the features of the preamble of claim 1.
  • Known axes have as a handle a more or less long handle, so that with appropriate momentum can be taken on the workpiece to be machined.
  • a problem with the known axes and other hand-held tools with a long handle is that even slight changes in angle when carrying out the blow, in which the handle is held with one hand or both hands, can result in the blade not hitting there, where the user of the ax wanted it. In an emergency, this can go so far that the ax passes on the workpiece and / or rebounds from this, so that the risk of injury can not be excluded.
  • the DE 91 06 993 U1 shows a generic impact tool in the form of a hammer, on the handle in the handle area a substantially hemispherical hand guard is provided.
  • the grip area and thus the hand guard are arranged at (usual) distance from the hammer head.
  • Hand tools whose spaced from the tool head arranged handle area is associated with a bow-shaped hand guard, are from the BE 1011505 A and the US 2007/0056144 A known.
  • a generic impact tool with an ankle protection is from the US 2004/244545 A1 known.
  • the stem is formed with the usual length, so that the tool is detected at a distance from his head, and the above problems arise.
  • the invention is based on the object to present a percussion tool of the type mentioned, with which the risk of "failures" is avoided.
  • the grip region of the handle is arranged directly adjacent to the tool head, that the curved plate in the form of a concave shape which is concave towards the handle a shield formed hand guard, which occupies substantially the entire length of the handle, is connected at one end to the handle in the region of the tool head between the head of the tool and the tool head end of the handle that the other end of the hand guard forming plate at the free end attached to the handle, for example screwed, is that the handguard consists at least partially of transparent material.
  • the handle - in whatever form it is formed - is located immediately adjacent to the head of the tool, that consists above problem of "failures” or blows that do not hit exactly where they should, no more.
  • a hand guard is provided on the handle.
  • This hand guard which extends along the handle to the head of the tool, prevents the hand from hitting the workpiece unintentionally when the punch is being punched.
  • the head of the ax, hatchet, hoe or the like formed od impact tool according to the invention has a particularly slender designed cutting edge, the slender region of the cutting needs to be provided only in its outermost region, so that it is readily possible to staple the tool, in particular the ax, with a targeted impact on the workpiece (piece of wood to be split and the like) and then, for example, using the ax in the manner of a split wedge hit the head of the ax with a hammer or the like or it is struck with the head of the ax first on the chopping block, so that the piece of wood is split under the impact and its sudden stopping when hitting the chopping block.
  • sighting devices of the type of sight and grain or of a sighting line or sighting projections can be provided on the head.
  • the hand guard does not obstruct the view when using the tool, it is transparent.
  • the hand guard is at least partially formed as a grid or made of transparent material (plastic).
  • the handle or at least its portion to be gripped by the hand of a user of the tool is shaped to at least approximately conform to the inner shape of a hand closed around the handle.
  • the handle is designed so that it has an outer shape which is adapted to the shape of a hand embracing it or at least approximated, a particularly secure holding and guiding the impact tool according to the invention is ensured.
  • Fig. 1 a first embodiment in an oblique view
  • Fig. 2 the embodiment of Fig. 1 in a different perspective
  • 3 and 4 an embodiment of a tool with trough-shaped hand protection, which extends over the entire length of the handle
  • Fig. 5 an embodiment of a handguard similar to that of 3 and 4 in a removable embodiment
  • Fig. 6 another handguard in removable embodiment.
  • FIG. 1 ax shown has a head 1 with cutting edge 3 and the head 1 immediately adjacent a handle 5 and a hand guard 7th
  • the handle 5 may be formed as a curved rod.
  • the hand guard 7 is disposed between the free end of the handle 5 and head 1 of the ax and in in Fig. 1 shown embodiment as seen from the handle 5 ago concave curved shield formed.
  • sighting devices can be provided on the head 1 of the ax.
  • a sighting device in the form of a grain and on the end of the head 1 facing away from the cutting edge 3 (the house of the head) can be provided in the form of a sight.
  • Fig. 1 and 2 shown tool has a short handle 5, which connects directly to the tool head 1.
  • the handle 5 is pointing tool head side facing down in the position of use surrounded by a handguard 7, in which in the Fig. 2 and 3 shown embodiment is formed as a curved plate, which is connected at one end directly between the head 1 of the tool and the tool head end of the handle 5.
  • the other end of the hand guard 7 forming plate is attached to the free end of the handle 5, for example screwed.
  • the hand guard 7 is formed as an elongated, boat-shaped trough or tub. It can be provided that the hand guard 7 is formed by a curved basket 17, in particular a grid basket, which in the in 3 and 4 embodiment shown by a sheet material 18, for example, leather or the like, is closed.
  • the hand protection 7 of the 3 and 4 can, as in the 3 and 4 shown fixed fix, eg screwed, riveted or otherwise as permanently attached to the handle 5.
  • the hand guard 7, as in Fig. 5 shown, is removable to replace him if necessary against other embodiments of the hand guard 7 can.
  • the free end of the handle 5 is inserted into a bag-like receiving pocket 35 of the hand guard 7 and the other end of the hand guard 7 with a band 37 attached to the handle 5 by the handle 5 or stem (in the open-top there well 39) of the hand guard 7 is inserted and the band 37 is placed over the stem and fixed to the hand guard 7.
  • the hand guard 7 is formed at both ends with troughs 39, in which the stem 5 is inserted, to then with bands 37, as described above, to be determined.
  • the hand guard 7, which is provided between the free end of the handle 5 and the tool head 1, may be wholly or partially transparent.
  • the hand guard 7 is formed as a grid or the hand guard 7, in particular if it is designed as a shield ( Fig. 1 ), formed of transparent material.
  • This embodiment of a transparent hand guard 7 has the advantage that the tool, in particular its head 1, is seen through the hand guard when the blow is executed. Thus, an additional increase in the accuracy of the tool according to the invention is ensured.
  • a transparent hand guard 7 can also with the Fig. 3 to 6 can be achieved by the lining of the basket 17 made of transparent material, such as a transparent plastic film, is made.
  • a measure may be provided in the tool according to the invention, which means that the tool is always detected by hand at the desired and advantageous for the use of the tool body of the handle (stem), for example, by choosing a shape there, the the inner contour of a hand closed to the handle substantially corresponds.
  • a sighting device for "aiming" when exporters of a blow can also be provided.
  • an embodiment in which the hand guard with the tool is not fixed, but in the manner of a glove on the tool gripping the hand is touched, so that even in such cases, the beneficial and injury-preventing protection given to the hand of the user.
  • the handle 5 may, like the hand guard 7, be formed of different materials, with wood, plastic or metal are considered in the first place.
  • the head 1 of the ax can have a cutting edge 3 which has a region which is slender with respect to the remaining part of the head 1 of the ax.
