Automatic slide hammer attachment

A dent removing tool having means for attaching onto a rotary power source comprising:

• a slide hammer having an elongated body with impacting means mounted for reciprocal movement thereon,
• screw means mounted on one end of said elongated body for enabling said slide hammer to engage, penetrate and disengage from an intended workpiece,
• an impact-receiving member mounted on the opposite end of said elongated member,
• mounting means on said elongated body for attaching said slide hammer to a rotary power source, said mounting means including bearing means to allow relative longitudinal movement of said elongated body therethrough, and further including an impact-transmitting member to transmit impacts from said impacting means to said impact-receiving member and said elongated member,
• a driving connection between said elongated body and said rotary power source for imparting rotary force to said elongated body as well as allowing longitudinal movement between said elongated body and said rotary power source,
• whereby said impact-transmitting member and said impact-receiving member may be separated from one another when rotary force is imparted to said elongated member may be placed in contact with one another when an impact is imparted to said impact-transmitting member.
