Filed sept. 21, 1956, ser. No. 612,563 g z ciaima.- (0.11.1537) t `from soft material.` 1i Tools ofsoft materials, the m'ost popular `one Vof which' has` been Vberyllium copper, are claimedv by their producers to'bespark-proof, although they are notcompletely spark-proof, wherebyfthere'is a'possibility'of.danger.y in their use. r 1
.'Presentlyavailable safety tools havefurther disadvantages in that they are` frequently made over-sized in an attemptrto overcome their weakness whereby they will not workproperlyin confined places. They have a furyther disadvantage in that their. life is Vvery short as they are easily damaged beyond usability, and'they are of no value where severe strain must be exerted to do a job. f ,For these reasonsv steel tools are being used in place of, the recommended safety tools in `violation of safety codes. i ,J It is an' object of this' invention to provide tools that are completely spark-proof to eliminate. all possibility 'of sparking and explosion, and which are also as hard as a le and as tough as conventional steel tools.
A further object', of this invention isftoprprovide tools which are not Asubject tok corrosion, showing little or no reaction t acids. Y v i I am aware thatrthere arev many tools, already on the vmarket,having coresv surroundedY with coating material,
however none have coatings suitable for my safety tools. Such tools have coatings Ywhich are neither sufficiently hard nor suliicieritly'thick to serve the purposes of the tools of ,myv invention.'4 ,n
j'ItisQa further 'objective'to provide tools so constructed l -o provide Iassurance againstthe possibility of the ycoatirig-being'jworn awayin normal use whereby the tools would be. no longerY safqwherepthere is danger of explosion from spark. t, e
Patented Apr. 4, 1961 sparks in my opinion, and also is the cause of the visible orange light of a toolrspark. The orange light does not come from electricity atrall, nor even from magnetic permeability, but does come fromY the super-heat of oxida-A tion.
Because of this theory I haveV proceeded to develop tools having a tough corre surrounded with arspark-proof, corrosion-proof case, the case being formed of a nonsteel material which is non-corrosive whereby its fragments will not unite with the oxygen in the air even though theyhave reachedvthekindiing temperature of steel whereby the super-heat'from oxidation lvis neverzgenf erated and the tool is thereby more safe. t t Accordingly it is possible by this concept to use acasing material which is actually of a greater hardness than steel whereby a greater amount of Vforce is required tol knock a fragment of it loose from vthe tool than in the caseV of a fragment of steel, nevertheless the fragment of my casing can reach a temperature higher than the kindling temperature of 'a kfragment of steel and yet will noty kindle or oxidizebecause' of its vnon-corrosive characteristics, thereby having a lesser tendency to oxidize. Safety tools have heretofore been' mad'eof expensive materials such as beryllium copper kand these expensive materials have been used throughouteach such tool. It is an object of my invention to provide a tool made with a relatively inexpensive core and coated with a sparkproof, corrosive-proof case, in this way substantially reducing the cost of safety tools. i
' A further object of my invention is in the provision of a tool having an inexpensive core, having a spark# l proof, corrosion-proof casing at the ends or other Yworkas being electrical sparks. At the same time they have .thought of these sparks as being caused by the steel conlwhen held to a grinding wheel.
It has beena common test of a tool, in determining whether it isa safetool to use in explosion danger areas,
toapply a magnet to the tool. If the magnet is attracted to the tool it is believed to contain too high a percentage of steel to be a safe tool. Y i It is my theory that toolsparks are caused'by a fragf'ment of the tool being torn awayv from the remainder of the tool with sufficient force for causing the fragment It is my further; concept that the fragment then oxidizes and the oxidationvprocess causes it. to reachfa temperature far in excessief its ing surfaces of -the tool and having a very inexpensive' spark-proof` plastic` coating on handle areas, and other non-working areas of the tool in order to furtherfconserve expensive spark-proof metal coating material to make the'tools still more inexpensive. Other and further objects and advantages of the present invention will be apparent from the following detailed description', drawings and claims, the scope of thein vention not being limited to the drawings lthemselves as the drawings are only for the purpose of illustrating a way in which the principles of this invention can be applied.
Other embodiments of the invention utilizing the same or equivalent principles may be used and structural changes may be made as desired by thoseskill'edyyin the art without departing frornjthel presentiriventionand'the purviewrof the ,appendedrclaims f I In the drawings:

kindlingtemperature. This super-heat, as I prefer to call '#,isthe real cause of explosion danger from safety tool Referring to the drawing, 1n Figure la wrench 8 is shown having a core 1i) having a'suitable preferably metallic sparkproof coating material 12 in accordance with'my invention and'covering the workingsurfaces of the wrench. lSuch a coating caribe vapproximately 1A.; inch if desired. Y
A suitableplastic coating 14 encases the handle por-* tion .of the wrench 16v and can be of greater thicknessV` `than the coating v12, if desired, without excess'cost, for
' example approximately 17525.
In Figure 2 a wrench 20 is shown having a core 21 having a working surface coating 22 and a handle or non-working surface coating 24, both of a same suitable sparkproof material such as ay metal. The coating 22 is of approximately a 1454 inch thicknessV or more if desired although the handle coatingv 24 can be of much lesser thickness when hard metal is used, as shown,
such as between ve and ten thousandths or more since' the wear on a nonworking surface is muchV less.
Process of manufacture I prefer to coat my cores by the metallizing process which is the spraying of the coating material on the core. Thereafter the tool can be subjected to heat until the coating is sintered, causing the coating to form a continuous, impervious protective casing. The sintering step is necessary `because the metallizing spraying causes the coating to be relatively porous whereas the sintering causes it to be a continuous coating in which the individual particles strongly adhere.
I use either boron or silicon, or both, as an ingredient of the formula of the casing material because either boron or silicon function as a flux in the sintering process.
The boron and silicon serve two purposes because after they have served their purpose as a flux they serve the further purpose of being hardening agents.
I prefer totuse boron as the ux and hardening agent because then the coating can be sintered in the atmosphere whereas with most of the other hardening agents, sintering must be carried out in ovens with reduced oxygen. It is necessary to have a liux to prevent steel from oxidizing until such time as the coating has reached a temperature suicient for sintering. Y
However, when an oven is used of the type having gas in it which does not have substantial oxygen content, then it is possible to use coating .materials which do not contain flux.
In such ways of manufacture and when ux is unnecessary, 'it is possible to use other hardening agents such as aluminum oxide, ferrous zinc, tungsten, molybdenum, tantalum or the various carbide alloys.
Another and preferred process of applying the coating is to coat the tool with the casing material by applying the `coating material like paint by mixing the powdered coating material with a suitable vehicle, such as thermoplastic acrylic resin, then sintering the coating as above described, the resin burning away in the sintering process, to leave a continuous coating of metal.
A further way of applying the coating is in the application of powdered coating material to the core by pressing the powdered material around the core in a die. Following this the tool is removed from the die and is then heated until the coating is sintered.
A further method of manufacture would be in applying the casing material to the core in a mold and then sintering the casing material while the tool is still in the same mold and before removing it.
Butryrate and vinyl plastisol symbolize the plastic group that might be used `on nonvvorking surfaces. Other plastics might be used. AFor instance acrylic or epoxy resins mixed with powdered Ametals would make suitable coatings or handlesfornonworking surfaces.
From the foregoing description, it is thought to be obvious that safety tools constructed in accordance with my invention are particularly well adapted for use, by
i reason of the convenience andfaclity with which they may be assembled' and operated, and it will also be obvious that my invention is susceptible of some change and modification without departing from the principles and spirit thereof, and for this reason I do not wish to be understood as limiting myself to the precise arrangement and formation of the several parts herein shown in carrying out my invention in practice, except as claimed.
I claim:
