Abstract
The invention relates to a tool (1) for forcing a door comprising: —an elongated shaft (2) having a front end and a rear end; —a handgrip (10) located between the front end and the rear end of the shaft; and—a head (5) fixed to the shaft at the front end thereof, the head having a base part (6) provided with a striking surface (7) on a first side for receiving impacts from a striking tool and a wedge part (8) extending from the base part on the opposite side thereof essentially perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis of the shaft.
Claims18
A tool for forcing a door, wherein the tool (1) comprises:
- an elongated shaft (2) having a front end (3) and a rear end (4);
- a first handgrip (10) located between the front end (3) and the rear end (4) of the shaft (2);
- and
- a head (5) fixed to the shaft (2) at the front end (3) thereof, the head (5) having a base part (6) provided with a striking surface (7) on a first side for receiving impacts from a striking tool and a wedge part (8) extending from the base part (6) on the opposite side thereof essentially perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis of the shaft (2),
- the tool (1) comprises a second handgrip (11) located between the first handgrip (10) and the rear end (4) of the shaft (2);
- and
- the shaft (2) is provided with a support member (30) located between the first handgrip (10) and the second handgrip (11), the support member (30) protruding from the shaft (2) on the same side of the shaft as the wedge part (8) so as to allow the support member (30) to abut against a door surface and thereby support the shaft (2) against the door surface when the tip (9) of the wedge part (8), by a person holding the tool (1) with the hands grasping said handgrips (10, 11), is pressed into a slot formed between a door and its doorframe.
A tool for forcing a door, wherein the tool (1) comprises:
- an elongated shaft (2) having a front end (3) and a rear end (4);
- a handgrip (10) located between the front end (3) and the rear end (4) of the shaft (2);
- and
- a head (5) fixed to the shaft (2) at the front end (3) thereof, the head (5) having a base part (6) provided with a striking surface (7) on a first side for receiving impacts from a striking tool and a wedge part (8) extending from the base part (6) on the opposite side thereof essentially perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis of the shaft (2),
- said handgrip (10) is located at a distance from and parallel to the shaft (2);
- a guiding surface (20) is provided between the striking surface (7) on the head (5) and the front end (18) of said handgrip (10), the guiding surface (20) being inclined from the front end (18) of the handgrip (10) towards the striking surface (7) so as to direct a hitting striking tool away from the handgrip (10) and thereby prevent the hand of a person grasping the handgrip from being hit by the striking tool;
- and
- the wedge part (8) comprises a top surface (40), a bottom surface (41) and two side walls (42, 43) extending between the top surface (40) and the bottom surface (41) on opposite sides of the wedge part, each one of said side walls (42, 43) being provided with cutting edges (44) extending in parallel to each other or at least essentially in parallel to each other between the bottom surface (41) and the top surface (40).
