A hinge pin remover tool comprising a housing block, an internal gear train for providing a high mechanical force advantage in a direction vertical and parallel with the housing block, front grooved face surface, to activate a vertical and horizontal movable pry head mechanism having a disc-beveled pry wedge, the jaw face end section adapted to be forced into a wedged interference contact position within the narrow gap space intersection that is formed between the front undershoulder of a hinge pin head and the hinge pin barrel enclosure top surface of a door hinge assembly. When the gear train is activated, the gear train forces the pry head mechanism to wedge the jaw face, disc-beveled pry wedge into the gap space intersection between the hinge pin front undershoulder and hinge pin barrel enclosure top surface to thereby push the hinge pin shaft vertically upward for subsequent removal from the hinge pin barrel housing enclosure.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates generally to the field of hand tools, and more particularly to a tool hand tool for the removal of a hinge pin from a door hinge assembly.
2. Background Discussion
The present invention can be more readily understood by a consideration of the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 illustrates perspective view of the invention.
FIG. 2 shows a top view of the in removal tool.
As shown in FIG. 1, a door hinge pin removal tool 10 has a housing block assembly 40 comprising a housing block subassembly 42 with an internal core cavity 44 adapted to hold and contain gear train subassembly 60, a pry head subassembly mechanism 100 attached to the vertical top end of the gear train subassembly 60 by a connecting rod 80, a retaining positional ring 140 extension protruding horizontally outward and attached to the front face surface 48 of the housing block subassembly 42 for engaging the hinge pin back undershoulder surface 26, and adapted for positioning the hinge pin removal tool 10 in proper spaced relationship to the hinge pin housing barrel 21, and driving means 150, removably attached to the drive gear shaft 62 of the gear train subassembly 60 for driving the drive gear teeth 64 against the rack gear teeth 72, to move the rack gear base bar 68 vertically upward in combination with the pry head subassembly mechanism 100, forward surface portion 105 of the jaw face end section 102.
The hinge assembly 20 comprises a hinge pin 22, a hinge pin barrel enclosure 21 enclosing the hinge pin 22, and flanges 29 for attachment to a door or similar object. The hinge pin 22 has a hinge pin shoulderhead with a front undershoulder area 24 and back undershoulder area 26, and a pin shaft 28. The hinge pin shaft 28 is generally inserted into and contained by the hinge pin barrel enclosure 21 and hinge pin flanges 29 to form the hinge assembly 20 for door mounting. In a hinge assembly, a narrow space gap 32 is normally formed and present between the intersection of the hinge pin head undershoulder 23 and the hinge pin barrel horizontal top surface 30 of the hinge pin barrel housing enclosure 21.
The housing block subassembly 42 has a front face 48, rear face 54, side face 58, top face 47, and bottom face 46. A longitudinal vertical hole is bored through the top face 47 and extends centrally downward between the housing top face 47 and bottom face 46, thereby forming an internal core cavity 44 to accommodate gear train subassembly 60. The back housing face 54 of the housing block subassembly 42 is provided with an in-line drive shaft through-hole 56 to accommodate the drive gear shaft 62 of the gear train subassembly 60, and protrudes externally outward from the housing block back surface 54 for detachably connecting the drive gear shaft to a rotational driving means 150. The front face surface 48 of the housing block subassembly 42 is provided with a longitudinal, semi-circular, centrally located, recessed groove channel 52 extending vertically downward between the housing block top face surface 47, and bottom face surface 46, and is adapted to receive and restrain the hinge pin barrel housing 21 of the hinge assembly 20, and to hold the door hinge pin removal tool 10 in position to achieve vertical alignment and mating contact with the hinge pin barrel enclosure 21 of the hinge assembly 20.
