Abstract
A masonry block tool for picking up, transporting and laying webbed masonry blocks, comprising a main handle member, a pair of aligned cross handle members integral with the main handle member, a downwardly projecting and forward angling tongue member fixable to the main handle member and disposed such that the tongue member lies in a plane perpendicular to the center line of the cross handle members, a downwardly projecting end blade member integral with the end of the main handle member at the end thereof opposite the cross handle members and disposed such that the end blade member and the main handle member are at right angles where joined and such that the end blade member is disposed in a plane lying perpendicular to the plane in which the tongue member lies.
Claims10
A masonry block tool for picking up, transporting and laying webbed masonry blocks, comprising:
- a main handle member with a first end and a second end;
- a pair of aligned cross handle members integral with said main handle member and disposed at right angles thereto at a location along said main handle member closer to said first end than to said second end;
- a downwardly projecting and forward angling tongue member integral with said main handle member at a point closer to said second end than to said first end of said main handle member and disposed such that said tongue member lies in a plane perpendicular to the center line of said cross handle members;
- and
- a downwardly projecting end blade member with a top end and a bottom end, said end blade member being integral with said second end of said main handle member at said top end of said end blade member and disposed such that said end blade member and said main handle member are at right angles at said second end and such that said end blade member is disposed in a plane lying perpendicular to the plane in which said tongue member lies.
A masonry block tool for picking up, transporting and laying webbed masonry blocks, comprising:
- a main handle member with a first end and a second end;
- a pair of aligned cross handle members integral with said main handle member and disposed at right angles thereto at a location along said main handle member closer to said first end than to said second end;
- a downwardly projecting and forward angling tongue member with means to adjustably fix said tongue member to said main handle member along a locus of points that are closer to said second end than to said first end of said main handle member, said means disposing said tongue member such that when fixed it lies in a plane perpendicular to the center line of said cross handle members;
- and
- a downwardly projecting end blade member with a top end and a bottom end, said end blade member being integral with said second end of said main handle member at said top end of said end blade member and disposed such that said end blade member and said main handle member are at right angles at said second end and such that said end blade member is disposed in a plane lying perpendicular to the plane in which said tongue member lies.
