Hand tool and a core reinforced molded synthetic material handle therefor

摘要

A molded synthetic material tool handle comprises a synthetic material molded around an elongated reinforcing core. A tool carrying section is located at one end of the handle and a hand holding section extends from the tool carrying section. The tool carrying section includes a separator portion which is laterally spaced along the reinforcing core at a location between the end of the hand holding section and the free end of the core to form laterally spaced bonding material fill areas located on opposed sides of the separator portion. A sealing member is contiguously fit into a shoulder located at the end of the hand holding section. The sealing member acts as an expansion joint between the tool head and tool handle when connection is made with a high impact resin material.
