HAND HAMMER AND TAMPER.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed May 29, 1909.
Patented Jan. 25, 1910. Serial No. 499,222.
To all whom it may concern'. v
Be it known that I, Ann-run M. LlND, a citizen of the United States, residing at Devils Lake, in the county of Ramsey and State of North Dakota, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hand ammers and Tampers, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing.
This invention relates to hand rammers and tampons, and it has for its object the n'oduction of a novel and efficient device or ,firmly packing soil, gravel and con crete, etc.
Through. experience I have found that in using the ordinary packer or rannner, even when thin layers of soil are used, that a crust is formed and the soil will be fairly compact on the top for a depth of an inch or less, and the underlying material will be oractioally as loose. as when deposited. By using. the tool, as hereinafter described, I obviate this and cause the material to be packed fromthe bottom upward.
Another object of this invention the production of a hand rammer, which is sim 1c in construction ellicient in o )eration p and consists of a minimum which handle is held in With these and othi' objects in view this invention consists of certain novel constructions, combinations, and arrangements of parts as will be hereinafter described and claimed.
Inthe drawings: Figure .l is a top plan view of the body of the rummer; Fig. 2 is a bottom plan view of the same; Fig. 25 is a transverse'section of the raminer; Fig. t is another embodimentof the same; Fig. 5 is a bottom plan view ofone of the detachable cone-shaped lugs secured to a portion of the body portion of the rammer.
Referring to the drawing by numerals, 1 designates the body which is provided upon the upper face thereof with inclined sides 2.
- Upon the top of the bodyand formed integral therewith is formed an upwardly-extending portion 3, which is provided with a socket 4 in which is positioned a handle 5, the socketet by men us of a pin 6, which passes through the upwardly-extending portion 3 and the handle hand firmly secures the handle within the socket 4. Upon the bottom of the body por tion 1 which has an extended horizontal surface are formed a plurality of integral denumber of parts.
pending cone-shaped lugs 7, which are spaced apart in any desired formation, as, for instance, as shown in Fig. 2.
13v having the lugs secured to the bottom of t e body 1 as before specified, when the tool is used, lugs will, when engaging the earth or soil penetrate therein, and thereby prevent a crust from being formed 11 on the top, as very often happens when a p ain surface is used for packing soil. By having the lugs penetrating through the top layer orv surface the same will cause the soil or gravel to be packed firmly not only upon the top surface but also from the bottom upward, especially when thin layers of earth are used. Of course, the tool will have the .same eli'cct when comparatively thick layers are used for by having the lugs cone-shaped and tapering toward the lower ends the same will not allow a crust to form and will'pack the soil evenly.
In Fig. 4, I have shown a modification of I my invention. 'To the body ortion 1 are secured depending cone-shaped ugs 7 which are provided upon the top thereof with a latcrally-cxtending flange 8 and said lugs 7* are firmly secured to the base 1 by means of rivets 9, which pass through the flanges 8 of the cone-shapcd depending lugs and firmly secure said lugs to the body portion.
From the foregoing description, it will be obvious that I have provided a sim 1e and comparatively cheaply constructe hand rammer. In mypreferred embodiment, I have shown the tool formed in a single piece, that is to say, having the ln s formed intogral upon thobody thereof an an upwardlyextending integral socket p0 tion formed upon the top t hereof adapted to receive a handle. it will also be obvious that I have provided a tool, which will readil pack soil, gravel or concrete and will not al ow a crust to be formed upon the top and will ack the same uniformly throughout its dept What I claim is:
1. A hand tamping implement, comprismg a body portion having an extended horizontal bottom, and lu s projecting from said bottom, each in the s ape of a frustum of a cone, said lugs bein spaced apart and spread over the bottom 0 the body portion, and a handle on the top of the body portion.
2. A hand tamping implement, comprising a body portion havin an extended horizontal bottom, and dctac able lugs project- -tion, said lugs being spaced ing from said 190mm, each of the lugs being in the shape of a frustum 0f a, cone and haw ing a fiangd top secured to said body p01- apart and spread over the bettom of the bedy portion and a,
handle projecting from the top of the body Ir icesthpoiiy whereof I hereunto affix; my signature in presence of two wltnesses.
