Abstract
A multi-purpose impact tool includes an elongated guide bar including cylindrical top and bottom ends and an intermediate section having a polygonal cross section; an annular guide disc on a cylindrical top end of the bar, a head for mounting on the bottom end of the bar for delivering an impact force from the tool; a cylindrical sleeve for sliding on the guide disc for impacting the head; a plug in the bottom end of the sleeve with a polygonal hole for receiving the intermediate section of the bar and preventing rotation of the sleeve on the bar; and a lock on the upper end of the sleeve for locking the guide bar in the sleeve when the tool is not in use.
Claims5
A multi-purpose impact tool comprising:
- an elongated guide bar including cylindrical top and bottom ends, an intermediate section having a polygonal cross section;
- an annular guide disc on the cylindrical top end of said guide bar;
- a head for mounting on the cylindrical bottom end of said guide bar, said head having an impact surface at a bottom end thereof for delivering an impact force from the tool;
- a cylindrical steel sleeve for sliding on said guide disc, said sleeve having an open top end and a bottom end defining a contact surface, whereby, when the sleeve is reciprocated on said guide bar, said contact surface reciprocates against said head to deliver said impact force;
- a plug in the bottom end of said sleeve;
- a polygonal hole in said plug for receiving said guide bar whereby the sleeve cannot rotate relative to the guide bar when the sleeved is reciprocated on the guide bar;
- and
- a lock on an upper end of said sleeve for locking the guide bar in the sleeve when the impact device is not in use.
