Benefits of technology

[0031]The hand tool includes a handle and a tool head. The handle and tool head can be made to be removably connected together, or permanently connected together. For tough work conditions, a permanent connection between the handle and tool head can provide a more rugged and damage resistant tool construction.
[0044]Alternatively, and resilient rubber strip can be connected (e.g. adhered and / or mechanically fastened) to one or more edges of the prongs. For example, a one-side sticky back strip of resilient material including a release liner is use to apply a resilient surface to one or more edges of the prongs to increase the frictional engagement of the prongs with articles or objects.

Problems solved by technology

In these applications, workers are exposed to static electrical discharges or current when workers make contact with equipment or electrical current, which can result in severe injury or even death.

Embodiment Construction

[0058]The term “about” as used herein refers to a quantity, level, value, dimension, size, or amount that varies to some extent based on the context in which it is used. For example, such variation can be by as much as 5%. At the least, each numerical parameter can be construed in light of the number of reported significant digits and by applying ordinary rounding techniques.

[0059]Any number range recited herein relating to any physical feature, such as dimension, size, or thickness, are to be understood to include any integer within the recited range, unless otherwise indicated.

[0060]It should be understood that the terms “a” and “an” as used above and elsewhere herein refer to “one or more” of the enumerated components. It will be clear to one of ordinary skill in the art that the use of the singular includes the plural unless specifically stated otherwise. Therefore, the terms “a,”“an” and “at least one” are used interchangeably in this application.

Abstract

A hand tool including a handle and a tool head. The tool head is a V-shaped or modified V-shaped tool head.

Description

RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This is a Continuation application filed under 35 U.S.C. 120 as a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 13 / 450,839, with the filing date of Apr. 19, 2012, the entire content of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.FIELD[0002]A hand tool for multiple uses and applications, in particular for pushing, pulling, gripping, and / or manipulating objects or articles by a user. The hand tool includes a V-shaped or modified V-shaped tool head provided with one or more gripping or manipulating prongs and / or hooks.BACKGROUND[0003]There exists a need for a hand tool for pushing, pulling, gripping and / or manipulating objects. In particular, workers in a commercial or industrial setting often need a hand tool when working, for example, on an offshore oil rig, handling electrical power equipment, or when conducting manufacturing and maintenance operations. The uses for such a hand tool include pushing against surfaces, edges or corners of boxe...
