Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a hand tool, comprising a head connected to a handle, the handle and / or the head being assigned lighting means for illuminating a workpiece and at least one energy store for the electrical supply of the lighting means, as well as a lighting means carrier for connection to a hand tool, wherein the head is a hammer head or an ax or hatchet blade.
  • Such hand tools with lighting elements are already widely known in the prior art. So show the scriptures CN 104416539 A , CN 105215946 A , CN 105666423 A , CN 108436845 A , CN 204322022 U , CN 204471326 U , CN 205237989 U , CN 205852851 U , CN 207344510 U , CN 207616512 U , CN 208930172 U or KR 20160099199 A to various hammers and hatchets, which implement lighting in their handle to enable use in the dark. Such lighting is described in the cited documents as diffuse, that is, it illuminates the entire area surrounding the hand tool in all directions.
  • none of these objects are suitable for supporting the user when striking in such a way that the workpiece is illuminated in particular, or even a striking track is specified which is fed to an illumination. If only manageable points are illuminated, they are only illuminated for a moment in the event of a strike, so that such a point of light is not helpful. With a diffuse lighting, the illumination is weak and does not help for a directed shot.
  • the present invention is based on the object of creating a hand tool in which an improved aiming accuracy and an observation of the workpiece even with poor visibility is made possible, as well as an identically acting lamp carrier that can be connected to a conventional hand tool.
  • a hand tool which is essentially made from a handle and a head, is assigned to the handle, the head or both lighting means which project an elongated light track.
  • This projection takes place in a common plane with the handle and the head, so that a guided movement of the hand tool is sensibly possible in this plane.
  • Such lighting will then discreetly illuminate the entire path of the blow and both specify the path of the blow and enable a good view of the workpiece.
  • the illuminated angle can be at least 90 °, preferably at least 180 ° and particularly preferably at least 270 °, with several illuminants being able to work together to achieve such an angle. These can be attached to the front, front and back of the handle at the same time in order to be able to shine unhindered and at the same time not to hinder the user.
  • Such a solution can particularly preferably be provided on hand tools which are guided in a striking arc, that is to say in particular a hammer, an ax or a hatchet.
  • the head of such a hand tool is a hammer head, an ax blade or a hatchet blade.
  • the lighting means are integrated into the hand tool itself. It will already be Hand tools with a hollow handle are offered if this is made of a sufficiently robust material. Then cavities can be provided in the material to accommodate lighting means, electronic or electrical components and an energy store, which can be received and stowed in the stem, but can also be arranged in a protected manner at the same time.
  • the energy store can either be installed in such a way that a receptacle for the energy store is accessible from the outside, or it can be connected to an externally led charging socket via which the energy store can be supplied with energy.
  • a second embodiment provides that the lighting means and the energy store with the associated electronic or electrical components are arranged in a detachable lighting means carrier.
  • This illuminant carrier can be designed in such a way that it can be assigned to the handle or also to the head of the hand tool.
  • a cover preferably made of an elastic material such as silicone, a cuff with a closure, be it a Velcro fastener, a buckle, loop or the like, or a clip housing that clamps on the due to form and force fit appears for a fastening Stalk or the head of the craft is held.
  • the illuminants, the energy storage device and the electronic and electrical components are exposed to strong vibrations when impacts are carried out, so that it makes sense to reduce the effects of the vibration as much as possible. This can be done by potting the components, for example with epoxy resin.
  • Light-emitting diodes so-called light-emitting diodes or LEDs
  • LEDs can be used as illuminants with some advantage. These are good against shocks secured, as they have no particularly delicate elements but are already largely impact-resistant. The same applies to luminescent elements, which light up due to a chemical reaction when energy is supplied. In principle, however, all lighting means, including glow elements, can be used in the invention.
  • Lasers in particular line lasers, can particularly preferably be used as illuminants. These can particularly well predetermine a shaped light track while deferring the illumination effect in order to enable a straight shot. At least one further laser can be added to this in order to produce a target cross, with further laser lines crossing the first laser line in the plane of the stem and head when they hit the workpiece.
  • the further laser lines move with particular advantage during the stroke, either due to a compensation of the projection angle during the stroke movement, or due to a mechanical adjustment during this.
  • a possibility of specifying and storing a zero position is advantageous for the personalization of the hand tool.
  • the lighting means used such as the laser
  • the invention also relates to the illuminant carrier as a separate unit. This can be assigned to conventional hand tools as required.
  • the lamp carrier as described above relate both to the lamp carrier, which is assigned to the hand tool, and to the separately designed lamp carrier.
  • Figure 1 shows a hand tool 1, which is designed as an ax. It essentially consists of a handle 2 and a head 3, the head 3 being forged and forming a ax blade. Above a typical grip position, an LED 6 is integrated in the handle 2, which, due to an upstream prism, which is not shown in detail here, emits a shaped light track 4.
  • the light track 4 is elongated and aligned in the plane of the handle 2 and the head 3, so that the user sees the entire arc of the stroke illuminated in front of him during a recovery process.
  • a battery compartment 5 is provided, in which an energy storage device, that is to say an accumulator or a battery, is inserted in an exchangeable manner. Electrical components within the handle are encapsulated with an epoxy resin so that the vibration of blows from the ax does not damage the connections between the components as well as the components themselves.
  • FIG. 2 shows an alternative embodiment, which is based on a conventional ax.
  • a sleeve 8, which carries the necessary electronic components, is attached to the handle 2.
  • These are particular a line laser 7 as a variant for using an LED 6, as well as an energy store, which supplies the line laser 7 with energy and the additional electrical and electronic components required for this.
  • the line laser 7 works in accordance with the LED 6 in that it projects a shaped light track in the plane of the handle 2 and the head 3 of the hand tool 1.
  • the cuff 8 can be fastened and released with the aid of fasteners 9, which are designed here as fastening straps that are placed around the handle 2 and tightened. This enables both an optional operation of the hand tool 1 with or without the invention and, in particular, a retrofitting of the invention to conventional hand tools 1.
  • a hand tool is thus described above, in which an improved aiming accuracy and an observation of the workpiece is made possible even with poor visibility, as well as a lamp carrier with the same effect for connection to a hand tool.
