JAMES R. KIDD, OF FEEDING HILLS, MASSACHUSETTS.
CiZAW-HAMMER ATTACHMENT.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented June 18, 1912.
Application filed July 5, 1910. Serial No. 570,303.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JAMES R. KIDD, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Feeding Hills, in the county of Hampden and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Claw-Hammer Attachments, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.
This invention relates to improvements in attachments to hammers, and comprises a nail holding yoke.
The primary object of my invention is to provide a nail holder for a carpenters hammer.
Another object is to provide a device ar ranged to be secured to a hammer ina manner so that a nail can be held to the poll of the hammer.
Another object is to provide a hammer with a nail holding yoke, having two outstanding wedges arranged to enter the helve, forming integral parts of the yoke.
With the above and other objects in view, the present invention consists in the combination and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter more fully described and particularly pointed out in the appended claim, it being understood that changes in the specific structure shown and described may be made within the scope of the claim, without departing from the spirit of the invention.
In the drawings forming a part of this specification, and in which like numerals of reference indicate similar parts in the several views :-Figure 1, shows a perspective view of a hammerhead provided with my nail holding attachment. Fig. 2 shows an edge view of the nail holding yoke detached. Fig. 3, is a section on line 3-3 of Fig. 1.
In constructing scaffolds, buildings and the like,.it often happens that the carpen ters in connection with certain work must use one hand to hold themselves to the sup port. The starting of a nail then becomes a difficult matter and in my present invention I provide a light, neat hammer attachment, which upon opposite sides has flanged nail receiving channels, provided with two wedges serving to expand the helve within the eye in securing the same to the hammer head.
In the accompanying drawings numeral 1 designates the helve and 2 the poll of a hammer, to which is secured one of my nail holding yokes made of sheet metal. This yoke has the head forming section 3, from which extends the two similar inwardly bent side members 4, 4, each having a V shaped flanged slot, the flanges 5 being curved outward a distance sufficient to permit the ready introduction of a nail head the V shaped entering through the head section 3. One of the members, 4, is provided with an opening to receive the securing screw, 6, enterlng the helve, to assist in holding the yoke to the hammer. As shown, the top forming portion of the yoke 3 is provided wlth two V shaped slits, so that the metal between the slits may be stamped clownwardly to form the pointed wedges, 7 arranged to enter the eye of the hammer and asslst in expanding the helve, While at the same time aiding in securely holding the yoke to the hammer. As shown, the wedges 7, extend in the direction of the side members 4.
Now, if it should be required to drive a nail at a point so far outward that the operator could not reach the same without using one hand to support himself, a nail as a; would be carried into one of the flanged nail receiving channels and the hammer would then be' given a smart stroke, partially driving the nail in position. The yoke would then be drawn off of the nail when the operation of driving the nail can be continued. It is, of course, understood that where the operator may use one hand in holding the nail and the other in wielding the hammer, the attachment is not necessary. These yokes, it is of course understood, are made of various sizes and preferably of sheet steel, and while they are light and can be attached to any hammer, they are inexpensive, durable and eflicient.
Having thus described my said invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by United States Letters Patent, is:
As a new article of manufacture, the herein described attachment for hammers, comprising a yoke formed from a single strip of sheet metal and adapted to be applied to the head of a hammer with the cross bar thereof extending across the end of the hammer and the arms extending along opposite sides of the handle to hold the device in position upon the handle, spurs being stamped from the cross bar and bent inwardly so as to be embedded in the end of the handle When the device is applied to a hainmer, In testimony whereof I am my signature, While the arms are provided with flared in presence of two Witnesses. and longitudinally disposed slots which open through the ends of the before men- JAMES KIDD' 5 tioned cross bar and have raised side flanges Witnesses:
adapted to engage the head of the nail or JOHN F. JENNINGS,
like member. JOHN J. MURRAY.
