NAIL OR TACK HOLDING ATTACHMENT FOR HAMMERS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Iatent No. 469,710, dated March 1, 1892.
Application filed April 20, 1891. Serial No. 389,580. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that we, JOHN F. MUNN and JOHN P. WV. ROWE, both of the city of Troy, county of Rensselaer, and State of New York, have jointly invented a new and useful Improvement in Nail or Tack Holding Attachments for Hammers, of which the following is a specification.
Our invention relates to a device adapted to be attached to hammer-heads, by which nails or tacks to be driven by the latter may be placed in the attachment to be driven instead of being heldbythe fingers when struck with the hammer, our invention being more particularly adapted to be used in connection tack-hammers, although it may be used with upon hammers employed to drive nails.
Our invention consists, as will be more fully detailed hereinafter in connection with its illustration, of a strap adapted to be bent around the neck of the hammer-head adjacent to the socket-body of the latter and secured thereat, said strap being provided with a loop arranged in each of its opposite sides with a nail or tack holder made in the form of a loop, with its ends each hooked into one of the loops formed in the strap sides, with the tack or nail holder made with a flat end that is at right angles to the sides and parallel to the head-face of the hammer, and having therein an angular bend, into which the shank of the nail or tack may be passed and held, and which tack or nail holder by the connection its ends make with the strap is on its outer end adapted to swing out away from the hammer-face to hold a nail or tack inserted therein, and vthen to be pushed in over the head-face so as to hold the nail or tack in contact therewith for driving.
Accompanying this specification to form a part of it there is a sheet of drawings containing three figures illustrating our invention, with the same designation of parts by letter reference used in all of them.
Of the illustrations, Figure l is a perspective of our nail or tack holding attachment as separate from the hammer. Fig. 2 is a perspective of the device as attached to a hammer and with the nail or tack holder swung off from the hammer-head face for the insertion of a tack or nail. Fig. 3 shows a tack as inserted in the holder and thelatter swung in over the hammer-head face in a position for driving.
The several parts of the device thus illus- 'trated are designated by letter reference, and
socket-body; 71 its head; D, the face of the head, and h part of the hammer-handle.
The letter A designates our nail or tack holding attachment made with a strap S adapted to encircle the neck of the hammerhead. This strap S is made with two end loops 6 e, and the letter to designates a securing-wire, which is passed through theend loops 6 of the strap, and then at the ends a bent over and down toward each other to secure the strap to the neck of the hammerhead. This strap S has also two side loops Z, one of which is made in each of its opposite sides.
The letter N designates the nail-holder, which at its ends 0 c hooks into the loops Z, oppositely made in the sides of the strap S This nail-holder has a fiat bend b in its outer end, which is at right angles to its sides m, and so that when swung in over the hammerhead face on its hinged connection with the strap this bend b will be parallel to the face of the hammer-head, as shown at Fig. 3.
The letter V designates a V-form bend made in the flat bend b of the nail or tack holder.
The function of this bend V is to receivewhen forced therein a tack or nail, as shown at Fig. 3, with the head of the tack between the hammer-head face and the holder when grasping the shank of the tack.
As thus constructed and shown at Fig. 1, the attachment can be applied to hammers having different sizes of neck by passing the strap S on over the neck, and then drawing up the ends of the strap by means of the wire to until the strap is in close engagement with the hammer-neck, and then pinching in toward each other the ends a. When this has been done, the nail or tack holder being hooked into the loops Z of the strap can be swung out from off the hammer-head face, as shown at Fig. 2, to have a nail or tack inserted and then swung in over the hammer-head face, as shown at Fig. 3, in which condition the nail is in position to be driven in to secure the same, when the holder is freed from the nail by drawing the hammer away from the latter, when the hammer is again applied to the nail to complete the driving of the latter. As thus constructed and applied to a hammer, nails and carpet-tacks can be driven without the risk of bruising the fingers.
The nail-holder is preferably made of wire.
Having thus described our invention,what we claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patout, is-
In a nail-holding attachment for hammers, the combination, with a strap having a loopform eye at each of its opposite sides and constructed to encircle and be connected with a hammer-head, substantially as described, of
