Detachable wrench handle assembly
View Patent ↗The present invention is directed to a detachable handle assembly for providing a mechanical device capable of utilization in securing and un-securing a work attachment, such as a blade or bit, to a hand-tool. The assembly includes a body portion for grasping, when implemented as an auxiliary handle for a hand-tool such as a power tool or a pneumatic tool.
1. A detachable auxiliary handle assembly, comprising:
a generally cylindrical body suited for grasping;
an attachment device, disposed generally on an end of the generally cylindrical body, said attachment device being configured to attach the handle to a hand-held power tool;
a hand guard disposed adjacent the attachment device on the generally cylindrical body; and
a mechanical device connected to the hand guard and spaced from the generally cylindrical body portion, said mechanical device comprising a truncated portion of the hand guard and two projections;
wherein the generally cylindrical body is configured to be held by a user's hand to manipulate the mechanical device which is configured for at least one of securing and un-securing a work attachment to the hand-held power tool.
2. The handle assembly of claim 1 , wherein the assembly is a removable auxiliary handle.
3. The handle assembly of claim 1 , wherein the attachment device is a threaded shaft which extends coaxially with an axis of said generally cylindrical body portion.
4. The handle assembly of claim 1 , wherein the handle assembly is configured for attachment to at least one of a drill, a grinder, and a reciprocating saw.
5. The handle assembly of claim 1 , wherein the handle assembly is configured to attach to at least one of a pneumatic angle grinder and an electric angle grinder.
6. The detachable auxiliary handle of claim 1 , wherein the mechanical device is a spanner wrench.
7. The detachable auxiliary handle of claim 1 , wherein the mechanical device is configured to secure/unsecure at least one of a blade, a brush and a grinding stone.
8. A detachable auxiliary handle, comprising:
a generally cylindrical body configured for being grasped;
a threaded shaft, disposed generally on a first end of the body, said threaded shaft being configured to attach the detachable auxiliary handle into a threaded recess included in an angle grinder;
a hand guard disposed adjacent the threaded shaft on the generally cylindrical body; and
a mechanical device connected to the hand guard and spaced from the generally cylindrical body. said mechanical device comprising a truncated portion of the hand quard and two projections; and
a spanner wrench connected to a second end of the generally cylindrical body portion,
wherein the generally cylindrical body is configured to be held by a user's hand to manipulate the spanner wrench or the mechanical device which are configured for at least one of securing and un-securing a work attachment, and
wherein the first end of the body is on a substantially opposite end of the body from the second end of the body.
