text: In a carpenters claw hammer, a forged steel head including a medial body portion having a generally rectangular opening extending completely therethrough, an impact head proper integral with the body portion and projecting outwardly from one end thereof, a bifurcated nail-pulling claw region integral with the body portion and projecting outwardly from the opposite end thereof, and a tubular sleeve-like extension integral with the body portion, projecting laterally outwardly therefrom, and through which extension the rectangular opening extends, said sleeve-like extension being adapted for reception therethrough of the distal end of an elongated handle shank with the shank projecting through the extension and into the opening and substantially filling the extension and opening, said medial body portion having substantially flat sides which are inclined toward each other in the direction of extent of said handle shank, said nailpulling claw region including two counterpart divergent claws which taper in thickness outwardly away from said body portion and slope with respect to the axis of said shank in a direction so that their inside surfaces extend generally at an acute angle to the axis of the shank, said claws defining therebetween a bifurcation presenting a relatively sharp crotch which is disposed substantially midway between the proximate and distal ends of the claw region, said claw region being recessed on the inner side thereof and in the vicinity of the bifurcation and providing adjacent opposed nail head-engaging sides which are formed on the two claws respectively and intersect the outside surfaces of the claws to define opposed feather edges adapted to underlie and engage a nail head during nailpulling operations, and a narrow elongated imperforate vibration-inhibiting rib formed on the inside surface of each claw .and extending from the sleeve-like extension, across the juncture between such extension and the body portion, and along the claw region past said crotch and terminating at a point intermediate the distal end of the claw and said crotch, said rib being of less transverse thickness than the transverse thickness of the inside surface of the claw on which it is formed, being spaced inwardly from the side edges of the claw and, insofar as its width is concerned, closely hugging the trough region existing between the claw and body portion of the head and following the contour thereof.
text: In a claw hammer, an integral one-piece forged steel head and shank assembly including a head portion from which there projects outwardly an elongated shank portion the free end region of which constitutes a handle for manipulation of the hammer, said head portion being formed with an impact head proper at one end thereof, a bifurcated nail-pulling claw region at the other end thereof, and a medial body portion from which the shank portion extends outwardly, said medial body portion having substantially flat sides which are inclined toward each other in the direction of said shank portion and being formed with a relatively deep socket which is rectangular in cross section and the axis of which is in alignment with the longitudinal axis of said shank portion, said socket being of such depth that it extends completely through said head portion and into the adjacent end of the shank portion so as to define, in combination with said shank portion, relatively thin front and rear side walls in the vicinity of the impact head proper and of the claw region respectively, and, in combination with said fiat sides, relatively thin lateral side walls respectively, said nail-pulling claw region including two counterpart claws each of which tapers in thickness outwardly away from said rear wall and slopes with respect to the axis of the elongated shank portion in .a direction so that its inside surface extends generally at an acute angle to the axis of the shank portion, said claws defining therebetween a relatively sharp crotch which is disposed substantially midway between the proximate and distal end of the claw region, said claw region being recessed on the inner side thereof and in the vicinity of the bifurcation and providing adjacent nail head-engaging sides which are formed on the two claws, respectively, and intersect the outside surfaces of the claws to define opposed feather edges adapted to underlie and engage a nail head during nail-pulling operations, and a narrow elongated imperforate vibrationinhibiting rib integrally formed on the inside surface of each claw and extending from the body portion along the claw region past said crotch and terminating at a point intermediate the distal end of the claw and said crotch, said rib being of less transverse thickness than the transverse thickness of the inside surface of the claw on which it is formed, being spaced inwardly from the side edges of the claw and, insofar as its width is concerned, closely hugging the trough region existing between the claw and body portion of the head and following the contour thereof.
