FIRE DEPARTIENT 1mm TOOL Filed Nov. 2, 1927' INVENTOR, CZ'ZT 7776/Yea Patented Feb. 26,

FIRE-DEPARTMENT HAND TOOL.
Application filed November 2, 1927. Serial No.'230,597.
This invention relates to a hand'tool designed for fire-department use.
A fireman, in his fire-fighting duty, cannot be hampered by carrying several different tools each having a single function, since this equipment would be an impediment to his activity at work and materially reduce his efliciency as a the fighter.
In his work a. fireman is called upon to employ a wrench to turn on and turn off water-plug valves, to use a tool for connecting and for disconnecting a hose coupling, to use an implement to break glass, and has to grasp and carry, in the best manner possible, empty (flat) hose and hose filled with water under pressure and sometimes icecoated. He is called upon to, extricate trapped individuals and to attempt to carry one or more individuals some actively resisting, some unconscious, and some lifeless. There are other exigencies too numerous to mention.
-Being well acquainted with the practices of men of fire. departments at Work, my object is to provide a. tool to meet, by reason of its construction and arrangement of elements, many of the firemans tasks and at the same time not impose an undesired burden of weight or awkwardness of application.
Other objects, advantages, and features of construction, combination, and arrangement of parts will be made manifest in the following specification of the herewith illustrated embociment; it being understood that modifications, varial'ions, and adaptations may resorted to within the spirit, scope, and
principle of'the invention as it is more di-.
rectly claimed hereinafter.
The drawing is a perspective of the tool as used to support a hose line.
The implement consists of a hose spanner wrench 2 whose head is extended into a handle or shank part 3 which terminates in a hook lthe plane of which lies at a rightangle to the spanner head 2. Preferably there is interposed between the shank 3 and the end hook l; a valve-stem socket wrench 5.
The hook 4 has its bow provided with a flat hammering face 6.
One of the important features of the invention is the provision of. a closed loop or eye 10 on one side of the handle 3 and intermediate its shank part. The loop is disbelt when he has attached the stra posed perpendicular to the shank and also at a right-angle to its axis so that the loop will f t comfortably between the second and third fingers of a hand grasping the shank 3. At the connection of the loop to the shank 3 are roundcd base fillets 11 to give strength to.
the parts and also to afford a comfortable grip forthe lingers.
Swiveled on the loop 10 is a strong strap 12 of flexible material, having an open-end hitch hook 13 which is adapted to be slipped across the strap 12 to form a bight about a section of hose H which can thereby beeasily hauled around from place to place, or up ladders and fire-escapes and stairs. The hook 4 can be caught over the firemans to the hose and thus leave his hands -ree for climbing or other use, or the hook 4 can be thrown onto a suitable convenient support and left to suspend the hose held in the strap 12. An important use of the strap 12 is that, in emergency, the fireman may attach it around the Wrist or legs of a human and thereby drag himor her while carrying another over a shoulder, in cases of rescue.
Another use of the hook and strap combination is in cases Where all escape is cut off the fireman or other individual can hang I suspended with the strap 12 caught around coated hose.
The hook 4 is useful for knocking out and for tearing down'lath, shingles, light partitions, and for pulling hot timbers in rescuing individuals who are pinned down, and when removing bodies of fire victims. The strap may be used in many cases for dragging away timbers, iron elements, and other dbris.
H The invention claimed is:
1. A firemans hand tool having a handle shank with an integral loop member extending out at one side and between its ends, a strap attached to said loop and adapted to be attached to a body or object to be hauled or suspended, and a suspending hook on one end of the handle whereby the tool may be a load in the strap.
ENT OFFICE.-
lass 2. A firemans Wrench having a handle shank' With an lnt eigral'loop ext-endlng out on one side and dlsposed at a r1ghtang1e to 7 the axis (if the shank so that the 1665p will lie betweri the"fi1'1gers of a hand grasping'r h the'shank, and a grappling strap attached to the loop. 7 r
' 3. A firemans hand tool including a shank which is provided with a perpendicular, transverse strap-receiving 100p, and having 10 on on' nd a hook by which the todl may be stispen'dd.
