Dislodgement device

A dislodgement device comprising:

• a handle formed to be held by one hand of a user;
• a grip formed at one end so as to be held by the other hand of a user and defining a pair of slide bar openings at its other end;
• a weight member formed centrally with a shank opening;
• a pair of slide bars extending through the slide bar openings in said grip, fixed on one side of said grip to opposite sides of said weight member and fixed on the opposite side of said grip to said handle, whereby to enable the handle to draw the weight member against the grip;
• a pair of tongs formed distally with jaws to impact against a surface of an object to be dislodged, and a yoke pivotally connected proximally to said tongs whereby to serve as a fulcrum for said tongs;
• and
• a shank connected to said yoke and slidably disposed through the weight member, connecting the tongs to the grip whereby drawing of the weight member against the grip transmits a hammering force to the jaws of said tongs.

A device for dislodging a cap that is close fit over the top of an upright pipe, comprising:

• a handle formed to be held by one hand of a user;
• a grip formed to be held by the other hand of a user disposed below said handle and having at least one opening;
• a weight member disposed below said grip;
• weight member support means slidably disposed through the opening in said the grip, connecting the weight member to the handle whereby to enable the handle to draw the weight member against the grip;
• a pair of tongs disposed below said weight member and formed distally with jaws to impact against a horizontally disposed surface of said cap;
• and
• tongs support means slidably disposed through the weight member, connecting the tongs to the grip whereby drawing of the weight member against the grip transmits a hammering force to the jaws of said tongs;
• said tongs including a plurality of pivotally connected links and formed with distal elongate arms terminating at said jaws, whereby said tongs tend to close when freely suspended from said impactor support means.

• a pair of tongs formed distally with jaws to impact against a horizontally disposed surface of said cap, and a yoke pivotally connected proximally to said tongs whereby to serve as a fulcrum for said tongs;
• and
• a shank connected to said yoke and slidably disposed through the weight member, connecting the tongs to the grip whereby drawing of the weight member against the grip transmits a hammering force to the jaws of said tongs.

• an impactor;
• and
• a shank connected to said impactor and slidably disposed through said weight member, connecting the impactor to the grip whereby drawing of the weight member against the grip transmits a hammering force to the impactor.
