JOHN HARVEY FREDERICKS, OF LOCK HAVEN, PENNSYLVANIA.
HAMMER.
SPECIFICATION forming part Of Letters Patent NO. 470,889, dated March 15, 1892.
Application filed June 9, 1891. Serial No. 395,621. (No model.)
To on whom it may concern.-
Be it known that 1, JOHN HARVEY FREDER- ICKS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Lock Haven, in the county of Clinton and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Hammers, which improvement is fully set forth in the following specification and accompanying drawings.
My invention consists in providing the handle of a hammer with a sleeve of elastic material, such as soft rubber, whereby an easy and firm grip is provided, and with novel means for balancing the same.
Figure 1 represents a side elevation of a handle embodying my invention. Fig. 2 represents a side elevation of a detached portion thereof. Fig. 3 represents a longitudinal section of the portion shown in Fig. 2. Fig. 4 represents a transverse section on line at m, Fig. 1.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the several figures.
Referring to the drawings, A designates the head of a hammer, and B the handle thereof, which parts are formed together preferably of cast malleable iron. In the handle is a longitudinally extending recess 0, within which is forcibly held a filling-piece D, of wood or other suitable light material, by which provision the handle is reduced in weight and a proper balance of the hammer established.
E designates a sleeve of soft rubber, which encircles the filling-piece and the portion of the handle around the same and adjacent to the ends of the recess C, it being noticed that the parts incased by said sleeve are concealed,
and the sleeve constitutes the grip of the hammer. On the handle adjacent to the ends of the sleeve are beads or shoulders F, which circumscribe said ends, whereby the sleeve is prevented from shifting. It will be seen that the sleeve provides a grip of a yielding nature, the same being easy and gentle to the hand, and permits the hand to take a firm hold of the handle without liability to slip thereon.
In practice the sleeve is stretched prior to application of the handle, so as to contract thereupon and thus tightly grasp the same.
The filling-piece D hugs the walls of the recess C and retains its position without rivets or similar fastenings other than said walls.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure byLetters Patent, is
1. A hammer-handle having a longitudinal recess therein, a filling-piece in said recess, and a sleeve of elastic material embracing the sides of the filling-piece and adjacent portions of the handle, substantially as described.
2. A ham mer-handle having a longitudinal recess, a filling-piece in said recess, an elastic sleeve encircling the filling-piece and the handle surrounding the same, and beads or shoulders on the portion of the handle adjacent to the end of the sleeve, said parts being combined, substantially as described.
JOHN HARVEY FREDERIOKS.
