Abstract:
A method for handling logs, wherein the method comprises the following steps:—retrieving or generating a unique code at a first moment;—establishing, by means of a position determining device, position information as to the geographical position of a portable, hand-held log marking tool (1) at said first moment;—applying the code as a corresponding code marking on a log by means of the log marking tool at a second moment and automatically establishing a time value representing the time elapsed between said first moment and said second moment;—comparing said time value with a predetermined time threshold value; and—storing the code as an authenticated code in a database associated to the position information when said time value is smaller than the time threshold value. The invention also relates to a log marking tool (1) for use in such a method.
Abstract:
A safety hammer is provided that may be designed to prevent injuries caused by flying nails when users accidentally fail to strike nails on their heads. The present invention may provide for a wooden handle with finger grooves. The wooden handle may be reinforced with a steel rod to add strength and attach the handle to the tempered steel head. Close to the end used for striking nails, the present invention may provide for a pin configured to attach the metal shield to the end used for striking nails. The track in the shield may fit over the pin to ensure the pin is positioned correctly around the face of the present invention's hammer face. In some embodiments, the shield may be secured by magnets, which may be embedded around the present invention's hammer head. The present invention may also provide for a fulcrum point that may be oriented above the nail removal portion of the present invention.
Abstract:
A torch tail cap includes a tail cap base which has a middle portion provided with an inner cavity, a life hammer which is axially inserted into the inner cavity of the tail cap base, and a retractable ring which is rotationally installed on the periphery of the tail cap base and is connected with the life hammer. The retractable ring drives the life hammer to extend out of or retract back into the inner cavity during rotation. The life hammer can be conveniently accommodated in the tail cap when not in use.
Abstract:
An example hammer disclosed herein includes a handle. The hammer also includes a head comprising a neck. The neck has a tapered receiving surface and an end face. The hammer further includes a cap comprising a tapered mounting surface. The mounting surface is surrounding and engaging the receiving surface to permanently affix the cap to the neck. A first circumference of engagement at a first end of a length of engagement between the mounting surface and the receiving surface is greater than a second circumference of engagement at a second end of the length of engagement. The first end is farther from the end face of the neck than the second end.
Abstract:
Striking tools are disclosed that include an aluminum head. Striking surfaces may be securely attached to the head by a bushing or other means. In this way, light weight striking tools may be made with greater durability.
Abstract:
An automotive safety device is provided including a housing and a removable support assembly having a base and a plurality of support members pivotally attached to the base and moveable between a first, closed position and a second, open position. In the second position, the support members allow the device to be freestanding. A first light source is arranged on the housing such that the device may function as an emergency roadside light. The device further includes a tire pressure gauge, including a pressure sensor, a processor, and a display, wherein the processor is configured to output a value on the display indicative of a measured pressure.
Abstract:
A striking tool for pounding or hammering is revealed. The striking tool includes a handle, a neck and a head. The neck is extended from one end of the handle and the head is formed by extension of one end of the neck. The neck has resilience. The head consists of a first head threaded with a first striking element and a second head threaded with a second striking element. The design of the structure minimizes bounce of the handle.
Abstract:
A forming and framing hammer comprises an elongate handle and a head fixed to the top end of the handle. The head has three striking surfaces: two on a striking body and one on the side of the head. The third striking surface is cushioned by a neoprene bushing to reduce vibration in the handle of the hammer. The head has two pulling tools for pulling nails. The bottom of the handle accepts interchangeable tools.
Abstract:
A tool has a mechanism for absorbing energy transmitted to a hand grip, comprising a support body, a handle, an elastic return member and an interchangeable head as a base unit which is capable of accommodating additional fittings depending on the specific application. A lower part of the cylindrical body has a shouldered part having a diameter larger than its upper part so as to allow positioning and support of a ring associated with the handle. The handle has an internal shouldered part with an upper face constituting the support for the elastic return member. The interchangeable striking head comprises a part centered in the ring and a neck that fits inside an internal bore of the body. The striking head rests directly on the body in order to transmit the entire striking force to the body, and the handle extends rearwardly as the hand grip.
Abstract:
A multifunctional tool with interchangeable tips includes a handle, a cover, at least one interchangeable tip and at least one removable securing means. The interchangeable tip is clamped at various points between the cover and the handle because the cavities of the handle and of the cover are not surfaces of revolution, whereas the diametrical recess of the interchangeable tip is a surface of revolution. The teeth of the handle engage the teeth of the cover, the parallel faces of said teeth meshing axially with respect to the tips preventing the cover from sliding off the handle. At least one removable securing means firmly secures the interchangeable tips and the cover to the handle.
