Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to a hand tool, and more particularly to a mason's hand tool.
- a mason's hand tool of the prior art comprises a blade 10 ′ , a handle 20 ′ , and a head cap 25 30 ′ .
- the handle 20 ′ is made of a plastic material and is devoid of a skidproof surface enabling the hand of a person to get a firm grip on the handle 20 ′ .
- the head cap 25 30 ′ is fastened with the head end of the handle 20 ′ by rivet or adhesive and is therefore vulnerable to being detached from the head end of the handle 20 ′ especially at the time when the head cap 25 30 ′ is used by a mason to hit a nail or screw that is not completely fastened onto something.
- the primary objective of the present invention is therefore to provide an improved hand tool which is free from the drawbacks of the prior art hand tool described above.
- a hand tool comprising a blade, a handle, and a head cap.
- the handle is provided with a skidproof surface to enable the hand of a person to get a firm grip on the handle.
- the handle and the head cap are made integrally of a rigid plastic material by injection molding.
- FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of a hand tool of the prior art.
- FIG. 2 shows an exploded view of the hand tool of the prior art.
- FIG. 3 shows a perspective view of a hand tool of the preferred embodiment of the present invention.
- FIG. 4 shows a perspective view of an embodiment of a head cap of the hand tool of the present invention.
- FIG. 5 shows a perspective view of another embodiment of a head cap of the hand tool of the present invention.
- FIG. 6 shows a side view, partly sectioned, of the hand grip of the present invention having the head cap in FIG. 4 .
- FIG. 7 shows a side view, partly sectioned, of another partial grip of the present invention having the head cap in FIG. 5 4 .
- a hand tool embodied in the present invention is composed of a blade 10 , a handle 20 , and a head cap 30 .
- the handle 20 is fastened at one end thereof with the blade 10 which is used in spreading cement mortar or things of that nature.
- the cap 30 is fastened with the head end of the handle 20 .
- the handle 20 and the head cap 30 are made integrally of a rigid plastic material by injection molding.
- the handle 20 is provided on the outer surface of the one end thereof with a skidproof area 12 providing friction to enable the thumb and the index finger to hold the skidproof area 12 securely.
- the head cap 30 may be provided with a plurality of protrusions 31 each having a retaining head 32 which is greater in diameter than the protrusions 31 , as shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 7 .
- the head cap 30 is thus securely attached to the handle 20 , best shown in FIGS. 5 and 7.
- the head cap 30 is provided with a plurality of threaded holes 35 and bolts 33 which are engaged with the threaded holes 35 .
- Each bolt 33 has a head 34 which provides a similar function the retaining head 32 of FIG. 5 .
- the head cap 30 is thus securely fastened with the handle 20 , thanks to the protrusions 31 or the bolts 33 which are securely anchored in the head end of the handle 20 .
- the head cap 30 of the present invention is not vulnerable to being separated from the head end of the handle 20 even if the head cap 30 is used to hit a nail or screw that is not completely fastened onto something.
