Abstract

Slide hammer comprising: a shank and a weight, the weight being slidably arranged on the shank, the shank having a tool attachment section at a first axial end and a handle at a second axial end opposite from the first axial end, the handle extending away from the shank on at least a first radial side of the shank, wherein the handle comprises at least a first grip on the first radial side of the shank, wherein the at least first grip is attached to the shank with a shaft, and wherein the shaft is arranged in a bore extending longitudinally within the at least on grip.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A Slide hammer comprising: a shank and a weight, the weight being slidably arranged on the shank, the shank having a tool attachment section at a first axial end and a handle at a second axial end opposite from the first axial end, the handle extending away from the shank on at least a first radial side of the shank, wherein the handle comprises at least a first grip on the first radial side of the shank, wherein the at least first grip is attached to the shank with a shaft, and wherein the shaft is arranged in a bore extending longitudinally within the at least on grip, and wherein the bore is stepped with a first section extending from a first axial end face facing the shank into the grip and with a second section extending from a second axial end face facing away from the shank into the grip, wherein the first section has a smaller diameter than the second section and wherein an annular shoulder radially extends between the first section and the second section.

2. The slide hammer according to claim 1 , wherein the handle comprises a second grip on a second radial side of the shank across from the first radial side, wherein the first grip and the second grip are attached to the shank with the shaft that extends through a cross bore in the shank.

3. The slide hammer according to claim 2 , wherein the first and second grip are identical.

4. The slide hammer according to claim 1 , wherein the shaft and the at least first grip are removably attached to the shank.

5. The slide hammer according to claim 4 , wherein the shaft is threadedly attached to the shank and clamps the grip against the shank.

6. The slide hammer according to claim 2 , wherein the bore is stepped with a first section extending from a first axial end face facing the shank into the grip and with a second section extending from a second axial end face facing away from the shank into the grip, wherein the first section has a smaller diameter than the second section and wherein an annular shoulder radially extends between the first section and the second section, wherein the shaft is a bolt comprising a head, a thread opposite from the head and a nut, and wherein the head abuts against the annular shoulder of the first grip and the nut abuts against the annular shoulder of the second grip.

7. The slide hammer according to claim 6 , wherein the second section of the bore is longer than the height of the head and the height of the nut.

8. A Slide comprising: a shank and a weight, the weight being slidably arranged on the shank, the shank having a tool attachment section at a first axial end and a handle at a second axial end opposite from the first axial end, the handle extending away from the shank on at least a first radial side of the shank, wherein the handle comprises at least a first grip on the first radial side of the shank, wherein the at least first grip is attached to the shank with a shaft, and wherein the shaft is arranged in a bore extending longitudinally within the at least on grip, wherein, extending longitudinally along the outside of the at least first grip, the at least first grip has a first outside section adjacent to the shank and a second outside section away from the shank, wherein the first and second outside sections have the shape of a concave cylinder, and wherein the at least first grip has a first axial end face abutting the shank and a second axial end face opposite from the first axial end face, and wherein the first axial end face has a groove extending across the first axial end face and parallel to the axial extension of the shank and wherein a section of the radial side surface of the shank is arranged in the groove, wherein the groove has a bottom and side surfaces on either side of the bottom, wherein the side surfaces are from the group consisting of flat and rounded side surfaces, wherein flat side surfaces are each abutting the shank along a line and rounded side surfaces have a radius that corresponds to the radius of the shank where the grips are attached.

9. The slide hammer according to claim 8 , wherein the first and second outside sections have a minimum diameter which is bigger than a diameter of the shank where the grips are attached.

10. The slide hammer according to claim 1 , wherein the outside of the at least first grip is covered with a shock absorbing material.
