Description

Technical field

[0001] The invention relates to an iron hammer which avoids causing hand pain or injuries due to vibrations during striking. State of the art

[0002] Fig. 11 shows a conventional iron hammer 60 comprising a head 61 and a handle 62, the head 61 having a first end 611 and a second end 612, the iron hammer 60 being capable of striking objects with at least the first end 611.

[0003] However, the conventional iron hammer 60 of the type mentioned above has the following deficiencies. The head 61 and the handle 62 of the iron hammer 60 are forged from a single piece of metal, such as iron or steel, so that the iron hammer as a whole is very heavy. Due to the heavy weight of the iron hammer 60, a large counterforce is generated when striking, which acts on the hand (see also Fig. 9). Therefore, the user may experience hand pain or injury due to the vibration generated when striking with the iron hammer 60, resulting in a lack of safety and comfort with the conventional iron hammer 60. Furthermore, the head 61 and the handle 62 are integrally connected, so a different mold must be manufactured when producing an iron hammer 60 with different functions. Therefore, the production of the iron hammer 60 requires greater cost and labor. Object of the invention

[0004] The invention is based on the object of creating an iron hammer which eliminates the deficiencies mentioned in the prior art. Technical solution

[0005] This object is achieved according to the invention by an iron hammer having the features of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments are the subject of the dependent claims.

[0006] The invention provides an iron hammer comprising a handle, a first tool head, and a second tool head. Different from the first and second tool heads, the handle is made of lightweight material and configured to extend longitudinally, the handle having a handle portion and a base portion, the handle portion and the base portion being connected to each other, an L-shaped recess being formed at one end of the base portion and an axle hole being formed at the other end thereof, said hole communicating with the recess, so that the first tool head can be assembled with the second tool head via the recess and the axle hole and mounted on the handle.An L-shaped support rim is formed on one end of the first tool head, on which a fixing hole is arranged. A first hole is provided on the top of the first tool head and communicates with the fixing hole. By supporting the support rim on the wall surface of the recess, the first tool head is first provisionally fixed to the stem and the fixing hole is directed towards the axle hole. The second tool head has a shaft, at the side end of which a connecting portion is arranged, in which a second hole is provided. By inserting the shaft into the axle hole and pressing the connecting portion into the fixing hole under pressure, the connecting portion will fit in the fixing hole with interference, whereby the first tool head and the second tool head are mounted together on the stem.By inserting a locking element into the first tool head via the first hole and connecting the first tool head to the connecting section, the shaft is prevented from gradually retracting due to strong vibrations.

[0007] The iron hammer according to the invention is characterized by the following: The connecting portion of the second tool head press-fits into the fixing hole of the first tool head, and when the press-fit is released, the shaft retracts the first and second tool heads, so that the first and second tool heads are more firmly connected to each other at the handle. The press-fit of the connecting portion into the fixing hole is advantageous compared to a screw connection in that the press-fit prevents the first and second tool heads from gradually loosening due to vibrations that occur during use of the iron hammer. When using the iron hammer, at least the second tool head is used for striking.Because the iron hammer is lightweight overall, no excessive counterforce is generated during the striking process that is transferred to the hand, resulting in energy-saving, safer, and more comfortable handling of the iron hammer. Thus, only mild vibrations are generated during the striking process, which do not cause pain or injury to the hand. With the iron hammer according to the invention, it is advantageously possible to design the handle, the first tool head, and the second tool head in different designs depending on the desired function and to combine them with one another as desired, so that the process for manufacturing the iron hammer is diverse and variable. Thus, it is not necessary to produce a separate mold for each iron hammer with different functions. The iron hammer can thus be manufactured with reduced costs and labor.

[0017] According to the invention, the first tool head 20 is a hammer head of a brick hammer (see Fig. 7).

[0018] According to the invention, the first tool head 20 is a hammer head of a locksmith’s hammer (see Fig. 8).

[0019] According to the invention, the hole diameter of the fixing hole 22 is slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the connecting portion 32, so that the connecting portion 32 is fitted into the fixing hole 22 by applying pressure and can sit in the fixing hole 22 with interference.

[0020] According to the invention, an opening 231 is widened in the upper region of the first hole 23 and the closure element 40 is formed by filling it with epoxy resin 41, wherein the opening 231, the first hole 23 and the second hole 33 can be filled with the epoxy resin 41 at the same time so that the opening 231 is closed without any problems (see Fig. 4 and Fig. 5).

[0021] In a further embodiment, an opening 231 in the upper region of the first hole 23 is widened and the closure element 40 is formed from epoxy resin 41 and a bolt 42, wherein the bolt 42 is first inserted into the first hole 23 and the second hole 33 and the opening 231 is further filled with the epoxy resin 41 and thereby closed (see Fig. 9 and Fig. 10).

[0022] According to the invention, the first tool head 20 is first brought to bear against a fixing surface 50 and then the connecting section 32 of the second tool head 30 is pressed into the fixing hole 22 of the first tool head 20 by a pressing machine in such a way that the connecting section 32 sits in the fixing hole 22 with an oversize (see also Fig. 3).

[0023] According to the invention, the pressing machine is a hydraulic press and the fixing surface 50 is a fixing and clamping device mounted on the hydraulic press.

[0024] The iron hammer according to the invention is characterized by the following: The connecting portion 32 of the second tool head 30 press-fits into the fixing hole 22 of the first tool head 20, and the shaft 31, when the press-fit is released, retracts the first and second tool heads 20, 30, so that the first and second tool heads 20, 30 are more firmly connected to each other on the handle 10. The press fit of the connecting portion 32 into the fixing hole 22 is advantageous compared to a screw connection in that the press fit prevents the first and second tool heads 20, 30 from gradually loosening due to vibrations that occur during use of the iron hammer. When using the iron hammer, at least the second tool head 30 is used for striking.Because the iron hammer is lightweight, no excessive counterforce is generated during the striking process, which is transmitted to the hand, resulting in energy-saving, safer, and more comfortable handling of the iron hammer. Thus, only mild vibrations are generated during the striking process (see also . Fig. 6) that do not cause pain or injury to the hand. With the iron hammer according to the invention, it is advantageously possible to design the handle 10, the first tool head 20, and the second tool head 30 in different designs depending on the desired function and to combine them with one another as desired, so that the process for manufacturing the iron hammer is diverse and variable. Thus, it is not necessary to produce a separate mold for each iron hammer with different functions. This allows the iron hammer to be manufactured with reduced cost and labor.
