Qwuemtoz JOHN ALEXANDER LESLIE, OF ANTELOPE, OREGON.
HAMMER.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Mar. 3, 1914.
Application filed August 5 1913. Serial No. 783,108.
T 0 all whom it may concern Be it known that 1, JOHN A. LESLIE, a native-born citizen of the United States, residing at Antelope, in the county of Wasco and State of Oregon, have invented new and useful Improvements in Hammers, of which the following is a specification.
The invention relates to an improvement in hammers and particularly to a hammer of that type in which the driving head is capable of adjustment from its normal position at right angles to the handle to a position in line therewith, whereby in such latter position the hammer is peculiarly adapted for extracting nails without the usual bending thereof.
a The main object of the present invention is the provision of a hammer in which the driving section is rotatably mounted-uponthe head proper, so that it may be moved to a position at right angles to the handle or into a position in alinement therewith, means being provided whereby the driving section may be locked in either position against the possibility of accidental movement in the use of the tool.
The invention in its preferred form of details will be described in the following specification, reference being had particularly to the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a side elevation of a hammer constructed in accordance with the invention, the handle thereof being partly broken away. Fig. 2 is a top plan viewthereof. Fig. 3 is a sectional view on the line 33 of Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a detail perspective view of one 'ofthe sections of the hammer head. Fig. 5 is a View similar to Fig. 3 showing a slightly modified form. r
In the accompanying drawings, the improved hammer comprises the usual handle 6 on which is secured a head a which, except for the detail of my improvement, is of the usual construction. The head presents what may be termed a fixed section 7 and a movable section or driving butt 12, the former having the usual socket 8 to, receive the end of the handle and being formed with a laterally extending usual type of extracting claw 9. A
That portion of the section 7 in line with being partially rounded to form a seat. The
hammer section 12 is provided at the end nemote from the striking head 13 with spaced parallel wings 11 to snugly fit the cut away portion and ride against the rounded wall thereof. The head wings are provided with registering openings 13 and 14, one of the openings 14 in the headbeing plane and countersunk and the other interiorly threaded. A pivot bolt 15 is passed through the openings to pivotally support the hammer section, said bolt having a head 16 to fit in the countersunk opening 14 and terminally threaded to cooperate with the other opening 14. The head section 7 is formed adjacent the cut away portion 10 and preferably below the same with an enlargement 17 having a longitudinal bore 18 to receive a coil spring 19. a locking bolt 20 being slidably mounted in the bore and bearing at one end upon the spring, the
opposite end of the bolt being designed to engage either of two radial recesses 21 in the periphery of the adjacent Wing 11,
whereby the hammer section 12 may be locked in either of its two operative positions. The bolt is preferably provided with a projection 22 serving as a means for conveniently operating the bolt when it is desired to change position of the hammer section. The head section 7 is further provided with a laterally projecting lug 22 serving as a stop to limit the position of the hammer section when the latter is in normal or right angled relation to the handle.
In the form illustrated in Fig. 5 of the drawing the section 7 has secured to one side thereof a leaf spring 23'by means of a rivet 24 which engages one end of said spring. The other end of said spring has secured thereto, by means of a suitable fastener 25, a block 26 which is adapted to normally engage in the notch 27 formed in the section 7 and also engage in one of a pair of recesses 28 in the wings 11 and formed similar to the recesses 21. The leaf spring 23 is-slightly extended beyond the block 26 to provide a finger catch 29 whereby said block may be readily disengaged from the sections to permit of the ad ustan ularly related positions, and means for 1 100 'ng the butt in either of such positions with relation to the head.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of'two witnesses.
