Referring more pertieuierly te the drawing-5 indicates the heed oit the hammer provided with the neuei opening 5 inte which' :is secured the liendie '3" in ordinary and Well known manner. -ile dew 8 is deined by the provision oT- e siot which is shown entends diegonsiiy from e goointof e'pjig'roxiy =e o' the cutting' edge soVA mately'eentrei ot tile head 5, and opens at one side thereof. @Wing to the particular disposition of the slot 9 the claw 8 Consists or reiativeiy tong and short claw 'members l end 1l respectively 'for the purpose which Will hereinafter oedescribed. The outerv Wall ot the member l0 and the inner -Wall E2 of thelslot 0 nregcurved outwnrdlyin opposite directions from a' pointin line with tielinner end of ttiersiot thotighout the re-i maining portion of' the length o' the mem' ber to provide an end vportion of relative mexin'ium width which is sharpened to'proride a cutting edge 1B for theitool. The inner wail 14 of the' member 11 is curved in the Seme direction-as the Well 12 and ter-- minates et the point ot juncture 'with the outer walt 15 of said member rearwardly of 'the plane ot the cuttingy edge 13 so its-not' to come ingcontact with the material` being ent. und to further provide for thisend it wlltbe noted that the Width o the cutting edge 13 exceeds that ot any other portion ot the hed and termina-tes atione end approximately in line with the outer Walll l5 of the member 11. 0f course as Will be r edily understood the claw is edapted` for extracting nails and the like, ont it will be manifest that by the specific disposition of the slot 9 provision is made for themember, 10 whose Construction is such as todpermit of its use in the capacity 01"' unex;- lmtchet or the iike. t will be further obvious thatv owing to the reativediniensin of the members l0 and 1l and the arrangement of the slot 9, the said member 11 termintes considerably rearwardly of the ciitting edge 13 so esto be protected'trom yinjuring and in` tei-tering with the 'work by coming 4in contact with the same when the deviceis used as an ax or the iike.

It is'ioelieved that from the oregoingdeserijotion.I when considered. in connection with thedrewing, the nature'of my invention will be tinderstood by those skilled in l wo
