Patent Application
20170014982
The disclosure relates to removal devices and more particularly pertains to a new removal device for removing a pin from a hinge.
An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above by generally comprising a handle. A member is coupled to the handle wherein the member may be positioned to abut a pin in a hinge. The handle may be struck when the member is positioned to abut the pin thereby facilitating the pin to be urged upwardly in the hinge. A grip is positioned around the handle wherein the grip may enhance a grip of the handle.
There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the disclosure in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are additional features of the disclosure that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.
The objects of the disclosure, along with the various features of novelty which characterize the disclosure, are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this disclosure.
The disclosure will be better understood and objects other than those set forth above will become apparent when consideration is given to the following detailed description thereof. Such description makes reference to the annexed drawings wherein:
With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to
As best illustrated in
The peripheral edge 18 curves outwardly from a center 24 of the handle 12 adjacent to the front side 20 to define a round portion 26 of the handle 12. The back side 22 curves inwardly toward the front side 20 to define a groove 28 in the handle 12. The groove 28 may receive a shaft 30 of a pin 32. The pin 32 may be a hinge pin of a door or the like and the groove 28 is substantially parabolic.
A member 34 is coupled to the handle 12 and the member 34 extends away from the top surface 14. The member 34 is positioned on the round portion 26 and the member 34 is positioned adjacent to the front side 20. The member 34 has a distal end 36 with respect to the top surface 14 and the distal end 36 may be positioned to abut a bottom end 37 of the pin 32 when the pin 32 is installed in a hinge 38. The hinge 38 may be a door hinge or the like.
The member 34 has a plurality of sections 40 and each of the sections 40 is cylindrical. Each of the sections 40 has a decreasing diameter with respect to each other between the top surface 14 of the handle 12 and the distal end 36 of the member 34. The bottom surface 16 may be struck when the member 34 is positioned to abut the pin 32 thereby facilitating the pin 32 to be urged upwardly in the hinge 38. A grip 42 is positioned around the handle 12 thereby enhancing a grip of the handle 12. The grip 42 is centrally positioned between the front side 20 and the back side 22.
In use, the distal end 36 of the member 34 is positioned to abut the bottom end 38 of the pin 21. The bottom surface 16 of the handle 12 is struck such that the pin 21 is urged upwardly in the hinge 38 thereby spacing a head 44 of the pin 32 from a top 46 of the hinge 38. The back side 22 of the handle 12 is positioned against the pin 32 such that the pin 32 is positioned within the groove 28. The handle 12 is positioned between the head 44 of the pin 32 and the top 46 of the hinge 38. The handle 12 is struck such that the pin 32 is urged out of the hinge 38 thereby facilitating the pin 32 to be removed from the hinge 38.
With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure.
Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
