MULTI-USE HAMMER DEVICE AND METHOD FIELD OF THE INVENTION

摘要

A slide and pull hammer device includes three major components, namely, a guide sleeve, a drive bar and an impact head. The drive bar is inserted within the guide sleeve. The impact head is secured within the distal end of the guide sleeve, and has a portion which protrudes beyond the guide sleeve distal end. The drive bar is operable to impact both a distal end and a proximal end of the guide sleeve to apply force to objects in at least two opposite force directions. One force applied by the device includes a hammering or compression force, and another force applied by the device includes a tension or withdrawing force.

主权项

1. A slide hammer comprising:
a guide sleeve having a distal end and a proximal end, and an inner surface defining a longitudinal passageway therein, the guide sleeve further comprising a first delimiting member located at the distal end and a second delimiting member located at the proximal end; an impact head secured to the distal end of the guide sleeve; a drive bar slidably secured within the longitudinal passageway of the guide sleeve, the drive bar comprising a proximal end, a distal end, and a predetermined length there between, the proximal end comprising an extension which extends beyond the proximal end of said guide sleeve; and wherein contact between the impact head and the first delimiting member defines a position of maximum insertion of the drive bar within the guide sleeve and contact between the impact head and the second delimiting member defines a maximum withdrawn position of the drive bar from within the guide sleeve.
