Claims
I claim:
1. A combination pray bar and nail puller comprising a straight
central shaft having opposite ends of different design for nail
pulling and bar praying purposes wherein one end includes nail
puller flattened at its edges with a V-shaped notch, said one end
being aligned at an obtuse angle to the shaft axis offsetting the
nail puller laterally of the shaft, and wherein the opposite end
comprises a U-shaped portion having a terminal member at right
angles to the shaft and extending laterally beyond the shaft, said
member including a nail puller extending generally in the direction
of said one end the two said nail pullers having axiis arranged in
a common plane passing through the shaft axis.
2. The combination as in claim 1 wherein the second said nail
puller is set at an obtuse angle to the terminal member.
Description
This invention relates generally to prying bars and nail
pullers.
A principal object of the present invention is to provide a pry bar
and nail puller that is specifically designed to perform prying
operations in an improved manner.
Another object is to provide a pry bar and nail puller which is
designed in several different models including a regular, a cane
type and a round headed type.
Yet another object is to provide a pry bar and nail puller which is
adaptable for gaining access into out-of-the-way difficult-to-reach
areas.
Yet another object is to provide a pry bar and nail puller which is
easy on the arm of a person for eliminating excessive exertion.
Other objects are to provide a pry bar and nail puller which is
simple in design, inexpensive to manufacture, rugged in
construction, easy to use and efficient in operation.
These and other objects will be readily evident upon a study of the
following specification and the accompanying drawing wherein:
FIG. 1 is a side view of a pry bar and nail puller of one
design.
FIG. 2 is a similar view of a cane type of pry bar and nail
puller.
FIG. 3 is a similar design of a round headed type thereof.
Referring now to the drawing in detail, and more particularly to
FIG. 1 at this time, the reference numeral 10 represents a pry bar
and nail puller according to the present invention wherein there is
a regular pry bar model 11 which is comprised of a single steel bar
that is straight along a major center portion 12 and which is
specially configurated at its opposite ends 13 and 14. At end 13
the bar has a bend 15 at a slight angle so that a short leg 16
projects therefrom angularly. At the terminal end, the leg 16 is
flattened as shown at 17 and the end edge 18 has a central notch 19
of V-shaped character so to form a nail puller. At its opposite end
14, there is a right angle bend 20 adjacent which there is a
U-shaped portion 21 which at its other end has a right angle bend
22 from which there is a short terminal extension 23 that is
flattened and which at its end edge 24 has a V-shaped notch 25 to
serve as a nail puller. The regular model is 3 feet and 8 inches
long overall.
Referring now to FIG. 3, a round headed model 27 is also identical
to the regular model except as follows: at one end 14 there is a
circular loop 28 formed at the bend 20. Also this model is 3 feet
and 6 inches in length overall.
In operative use, it is evident that each of the models of the pry
bar and nail puller can be used to perform various prying actions
and remove nails under various different conditions to obtain
leverage so to pry.
While various changes may be made in the detail construction, it is
to be understood that such changes will be within the spirit and
scope of the present invention.
