Abstract
A tool comprised of two or more components each composed of differing materials with one component being less dense and the other component having working surface characteristics. The first component may be made of a titanium alloy.
Claims26
A hand-held hammer comprising:
- an elongated handle having two ends;
- a tool head attached to a first handle end, the head comprising titanium or titanium alloy;
- and
- the head having a striking surface, the striking surface being harder than the titanium or titanium alloy of the head.
1 more element
A striking tool comprising:
- an elongated handle having two ends;
- a tool head attached to a first handle end, the head comprising titanium or titanium alloy;
- and
- the head having a striking surface, the striking surface being harder than the titanium or titanium alloy of the head;
- wherein the striking surface is shrink fit onto the tool head.
2 more elements
A striking tool comprising:
- an elongated handle having two ends;
- a tool head attached to a first handle end, the head comprising titanium or titanium alloy;
- and
- the head having a striking surface, the striking surface being harder than the titanium or titanium alloy of the head;
- wherein the striking surface is threadably attached to the tool head.
2 more elements
A striking tool comprising:
- an elongated handle having two ends;
- a tool head attached to a first handle end, the head comprising titanium or titanium alloy;

1 more element
A striking tool comprising:
- an elongated handle having two ends;
- a tool attached to a first handle end, the head comprising titanium or titanium alloy;
- the head having a steel striking surface, the striking surface being harder than the titanium or titanium alloy of the head;
- wherein the striking surface is wedge-shaped;
- and
- wherein the striking tool further comprises the head having a void for controlling the location of the center of gravity of the head, the void containing a portion of a high density material.
3 more elements
A hand-held hammer comprising:
- an elongated handle having two ends;
- a tool head attached to a first handle end, the head comprising titanium or titanium alloy;
- and
- a striking surface attached to the head, the striking surface being made of a hardenable steel, the striking surface having a hardness of at least about 40 Rockwell C.
1 more element
A striking tool comprising:
- an elongated handle having two ends;
- a tool head attached to a first handle end, the head comprising titanium or titanium alloy;
- a striking surface attached to the head, the striking surface being made of a hardenable steel, the striking surface having a hardness of at least about 40 Rockwell C;
- wherein the head has a void for controlling the location of the center of gravity of the head, the void containing a portion of a high density material such as tungsten.
1 more element
