HAMMER.
.Specifieation of Letters Patent. Patent d A 4 19.22
Application filed November 11, 1320. Serial No. 4 23,382.
To aZZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, Cnns rnn H. FISHER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Council Bluffs, in the county of Pottawattamie and State of Iowa, have invented tools and more particularly to carpenters" hammers. I
Briefly stated, this invention-aims to provide a carpenters hammer having a novel form of nail-set whereby a nailofany siZe' may be detachably connected to the hammer preparatory to driving the nail intolelevatedf work. That is tosay, theiinproved hammer is capable of holding the nailwhile the-same lS being driven lntothe' work a sufiicient CllSf tance to hold the nail in position-whe-reby furtherblows may: be struck fondriyi th nailfhomea L A further Qb ect ott'th'e invention isto provide a carpenters hammer having siin ple means whereby dirt and small bitsof wood will be prevented fromclogging the nail-set attachment. I
' it still further object of the invention isto provide ahammer having simple-means whereby a nail may be removed from a piece of work. V The invention forming the subject matter ofthis application aims also to provide ahammer having means whereby the same may be employed as a wrench.
A further-object of the invention is to provide a hammer which is eflicient in use, neatiu appearance, and cheap to manufacture.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will be apparent during the course of the following description.
in the accompanying drawing forming a part of this application and in which like numerals are employed to designate like parts throughout the same:
Figure l is a fragmentary perspective of a hammer embodying the invention,
Fig. 2 is a detail sectional view through the same, and
Fir 3 is a fragmentary side elevation of a hatchet having the improved nail-set.
In the drawing, wherein for the purpose of illustration is shown a preferred embodiment of the invention, the numeral 5 designates a hammer handle to which is connected a hammer head designated the. numeral 6. The hammer headis, as usuah provided with an attaclnng shank ,8 having a longitudinally extending opening: 10' through which the forward portion offithehandle'is extended. A striking eleinentlZis formed integral with the attaching shank 8 and proects laterally from the same.
As illustrated in Fig. 1 of the drawings,
one side face of theattaching shanki 8' is provided with a pair of "convergingf'inwardly-extendmg retainin'gflanges Id'which cooperate with the adjacent portionof the shank in forming a socket l6adapted for the reception ofithe head er a naill' The socket is opens'out'through the forwardend' of the shank8 ofanail;"
It frequently occurs tliatn; nail is to be driven into apiece of work out of reach of both hands 'of the workman and, therefore, the workman is unable"toholdthefnail wliile starting the same. In such case, the nail, maybe connected to the hammer headby' insertlng' the head of the naili'n the socket 16. NVhen-thus insertedin thefsocket,"the
" overhanging flanges 14 will securely hold the nail in position. The rear end ofthe hammer handle may nowbe'grasped by the workman and-by swingingthe hammer head, 1n the direction of the worlgtlie nail willbe driven into the work a sufiicient distance to hold the same in position. Further blows may then be struck upon the nail by the striking element 12'. When starting the nail, the hammerhead maybe given somewhat of a slanting blow'so that the flanges 14 will be withdrawn from engagement with the nail. Further, as illustrated in Fig. '2,the bottom wall of the socket is inclined so that as the hammer head is given a slanting blow the flanges 14 will be effectively withdrawn from engagement with the head of the nail. In other words, the socket 16 decreases in depth and width in the direction of its inner end so as to firmly grip the head of the nail as well as the shank of the same.
is illustrated in Fig. l, a second pair of flanges 20 are formed on the side face of the attaching shank 8 and cooperate with the adjacent portion of the face of the shank in forming a socket 22 adapted for the reception of the head of a nail to be removed from a piece of work. With reference to Fig. 2, it will be observed that the socket 16 is in communication with the socket 22 so and receives head shankSand the iiangesare, parallel so as to that any dirt or small bits of wood which may lodge in the socket 16 may be readily passed off throu h the socket 22. a
As illustrate shank 8 is provided with a longitudinally curved jaw 24 having a gradually'reduced slhtflfi adapted to receive the shanks of nails wrench.
With reference to the foregoing descriptionj taken in connection with the accompalaying drawing, it will be apparent that i hfl l mer' constructed in accordance with invention. is ,{capab1e of a variety of ;T may be operated quite as heely as without the nail setting and re moving means, .SlIlCG. such means do notinter'fere [with themse of the hammer. in any way. The basewalls of the sockets 1 6 and 2% 1; which xconnect the opposed faces u of the permit nailsotvarious sizes to be connected mat s-flang s ils;
rain the 'form of ithe invention illustrated 3, the hatchet head 30 is; provided 7 withL -a cutting bladet 32 having the usual 35 notch 34 adapted for the reception of nails What! the jnailsrg'are to beremoved. The
hatchet head 3Q isformedfin one sidewith flanges; 36. whichcorrespond to the'flanges 14 which are employed for holding the nail in position when.starting the latter. The hatchet head BO'isalso provided with converging flanges 38 which correspond to the flanges 20 illustratedin Figs. 1 and 2.
One side of the attaching shank 40 of the head 30 and the adjacent edge of the blade 32 are formed with teeth 42 which provide a means whereby the head may be employed as-a wrench for gripping pipes, etc;
in Fig. 1, the attaching.
The blade 32 is formed with a transverse opening or aperture 44 through which a wire may be passed when the head is used as a wire splicer. A similar hole is seen in the jaw 24 of the hammer head in Fig. 1.
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new is:
1. A hammer comprising a head, a pair of converging flanges formed on one side of said head and defining asocket opening out through the forward end of said head, said socketbeing adapted for the reception of nail heads, the bottom wall of said socket being inclined whereby the depth of the socket is gradually decreased in the direction of its inner end.
2. A hammer comprising a head having an attaching portion a pair of flanges formed on one side oi said attaching portionand defining a socket, the opposed edges of theflanges converging inwardly, and a second pair'of flanges formed on said attaching portion and defining a second socket having-communication with said first-named socket, the opposed edges of the second flanges divergm from the inner ends of the first flanges. said first and second named sockets opening out through opposite ends ofthehead. i p a 3. A hammer comprising a head having 1 an attaching portion, a air of come g flanges formed on one s1 e of said attac mg portion and defining a socket, and a second pair of flanges formed on said attaching portion and defining a. Se ond socket having communication with said first-named wokat,
said first and second named sockets opening out through opposite ends of the head, the
connecting base walls ofsaid first and second named sockets being parallel.
4.'Thecombination with a head having a blade and an attaching shank, one side of said shank and the adjacent edge of said blade being provided with teeth, of means formed on said head for gripping a nail, and a handle connected to said head.
In testimony whereof I afiix mysignature.
