Forcing tool for locked doors, gates and the like

In gaining forced entry to a residence, business and the like, the combination of

• a door having a door knob preventing entry into a residence, business and the like,
• an access tool for smashing against said door knob including
• a pair of telescoping cylinders having a common axis of symmetry and including an outer guiding cylinder concentric of an inner drive cylinder, said outer guiding cylinder including a side wall defining an open activation end and an open hoisting end,
• a hoisting handle of U-shaped cross section attached to said outer cylinder adjacent to said hoisting end of said outer cylinder, said hoisting handle including a pair of transverse legs having openings near the termini thereof,
• a bolt means including a bolt shank extending through said diametrically opposed openings in said side wall of said outer guiding cylinder and through said openings in said transverse legs of said handle, whereby said hoisting handle is pivotable attached with respect to said outer cylinder so as to provide different orientation for use by either a left- or right-handed person,
• a compression spring positioned within said outer cylinder having a first end coil in contact with said bolt shank and a second end coil opposite to said first end coil,
• said inner drive cylinder including a side wall having a stepped end wall formed near a mid-region thereof, and being open at both ends remote from said stepped end wall, said end wall having a first broad surface facing said compression spring in bearing contact with said second end coil and a second broad surface facing in an opposite direction to said compression spring,
• an anvil bolt attached to said central opening of said end wall, said anvil bolt cantilevering from said second broad surface of said end wall and terminating in an enlarged bolt head,
• a unitary trigger mechanism and carrying handle attached to said outer cylinder near a mid-region thereof for aiding in single user manipulation of said tool as well as for disconnectably connecting said outer and inner cylinders to provide a locked ("cocked") state between said cylinders and to provide a release state whereby in said release state, said inner cylinder undergoes rectilinear travel relative to said outer cylinder wherein at least said anvil bolt attached to said stepped end wall is caused to contact said door knob of said door with surprising force to gain forced entry therethrough.

• a unitary trigger mechanism and to carrying handle attached to said outer cylinder near a mid-region thereof for aiding in single user manipulation of said tool as well as for disconnectably onnecting said outer and inner cylinders to provide locking between said cylinders to provide a locked state and to provide a release state whereby said release state, said inner cylinder undergoes rectilinear travel relative to said outer cylinder wherein at least said bulbous means is caused to contact said door knob of said door with surprising force.
