Description

HWORK Feb. 20, 1951 INVENTOR. STAN LEY SCHWORK Patented Feb. 20, 1951 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE NAIL-CUTTING TOOL Stanley Schwork, Bangor, Pa.
Application May 17, 1946, Serial No. 670,557
2 Claims. (01. 30314) This invention relates to nail ripping tools, and more particularly to improvements in tools for ripping nails from slate roofs and the like.
It is an object of the invention to provide a tool for pushing and pulling without danger of the hand slipping off of the handle, the tool being provided also with means for pulling nails without bending the nails.
A further object is the provision of a nail ripping tool having heads to receive blows from a hammer for cutting off nails, the heads being so arranged that blows from a hammer will have no tendency to crack a slate roof.
A further object is the provision of a slate roof nail ripping tool which is heavier than the usual ripping tools and ordinarily does not require the use of a hammer to remove nails.
These and other objects are attained by the novel construction and arrangement of parts hereinafter described and illustrated by the accompanying drawings, forming a part hereof, and in which:
Fig. 1 is an elevational view of the nail ripping tool.
Fig. 2 is a plan view of the tool.
Fig. 3 is a sectional view taken on line 33 of Fig. 1.
Fig. 4 is a bottom view of the portion shown by lines 44 of Fig. 1.
Referring to the drawings, the tool is shown to comprise a support I having fixed to the upper portion thereof a handle 2, and fixed to the lower portion thereof a plate 3. The forward end of the plate 3 is arrow shaped at 4, having forward angularly cutting edges 5 and rear cutting edges 6. In the center of the portion 4 there is a diamond shaped aperture with four cutting edges 1.
The handle 2 has a downturned portion 8 (see Figs. 1 and 4), provided with a forked end 9 for pulling nails. The portion 8 also acts as a guard for the knuckles. The handle 2 has a rear head H] for striking with a hammer, to cooperate with the nail puller 9.
The forward end of the handle 2 also has a striking head H, which is curved slightly upward so that blows from a hammer will not force the tool downward preventing cracking of slate beneath the tool.
The tool is considerably heavier than the usual nail ripping tool, and will rip out the majority of nails without using a hammer. The diamond shaped cutter in the center of the blade will either cut a nail or pull it out.
From the above description it will be seen that there has been provided a simple and effective tool for ripping nails from slate roofs and the like. The tool ordinarily can be efiectively employed without using a hammer, but in certain instances when a hammer is necessary, means are provided for receiving blows from a hammer without danger of cracking a slate roof.
The above description is to be considered as illustrative and not limitative of the invention, of which modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as set forth in the appended claims.
The invention having been described, what is claimed is:
1. In a nail cutting tool, a support, a flat plate connected to the lower end of said support and extending forwardly therefrom, said plate having cutting edges thereon for cutting nails, a handle arranged in spaced relation above said plate and secured to the upper end of said support, said handle having a downturned portion serving as a guard for the hand of the user of the tool as the handle is struck.
2. In a nail cutting tool, a support, a flat plate connected to the lower end of said support and extending forwardly therefrom, said plate having cutting edges thereon for cutting nails, a handle arranged in spaced relation above said plate and secured to the upper end of said support, said handle having a downturned portion serving as a guard for the hand of the user of the tool as the handle is struck, said handle being inclined whereby its rear end is arranged above the front end thereof. v
STANLEY SCHWORK.
