The disclosure relates to tool extension devices and more particularly pertains to a new tool extension device for preventing threaded tool handles from loosening on an extension pole.
The prior art relates to tool extension devices.
An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above by generally comprising a plurality of painting tools comprising a paint brush, a paint roller, and a paint scraper. Each of the painting tools has a tool handle having a threaded female handle aperture. An extension pole has a threaded male pole end coupled to a pole top side. A locking tool extension apparatus comprises a sleeve body having a sleeve top side, a sleeve sidewall, and a sleeve bottom side. The sleeve bottom side has a threaded female receiving aperture extending towards the sleeve top side. The female receiving aperture selectively receives the threaded male pole end of the extension pole. A threaded male extension end is coupled to the sleeve body. The male extension end is centrally coupled to the sleeve top side. The male extension end is selectively engageable with the threaded female handle aperture of the tool handle. A first spring lock washer is coupled to the sleeve body. The first spring lock washer is coupled to the sleeve top side around the male extension end. The first spring lock washer prevents the tool handle from unintentionally loosening on the male extension end.
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
In use, the desired painting tool 12 is selected from the plurality of painting tools 12. The male plug end 28 of the sleeve top side 44 is engaged with the painting tool 12. The threaded male pole end 36 of the extension pole 34 is engaged with the female receiving aperture 50 of the sleeve bottom side 48. The first spring lock washer 54 and the second spring lock washer 56 keep the tool handle 12 and the extension pole 34 from unintentionally loosing, respectively.
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.
