DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0011] FIG. 1 exemplarily illustrates a top perspective view of the combined hammer and pryer apparatus 100, and FIG. 2 exemplarily illustrates a bottom perspective view of the combined hammer and pryer apparatus 100. Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the combined hammer and pryer apparatus 100 comprises an arcuate body 101 with opposing ends 101a and 101b defined for either hammering or prying operations. The combined hammer and pryer apparatus 100 is a combination device which enables a user to selectively apply during prying and hammering operations. The opposing ends 101a and 101b of the combined hammer and pryer apparatus 100 are fabricated in different shapes where one shape provides for prying operation and the other shape provides for hammering operation. The design of the combined hammer and pryer apparatus 100 enables the user to reduce time of individual prying and hammering operations as well as allows the user to transport the tools easily.

[0012] The combined hammer and pryer apparatus 100 comprises the arcuate body 101, a hammer section 102, and at least two pry ends 103 and 104. The hammer section 102 is defined at a first end 101a of opposing ends 101a and 101b of the arcuate body 101, where the hammer section 102 is configured to insert a fastener 201 on one solid body or a combination of solid bodies 202, for example, two metallic sheets or wooden planks. The fastener 201 is, for example, a screw, a nail, or a bolt. The pry ends 103 and 104 are defined on the opposing ends 101a and 101b of the arcuate body 101, where one of the pry ends 103 is defined rearwardly to the hammer section 102, where the pry ends 103 and 104 are configured to gradually remove a fastener 201 from one solid body or the combination of solid bodies 202.

[0013] FIG. 3 exemplarily illustrates a bottom perspective view of the combined hammer and pryer apparatus 100, FIG. 4 exemplarily illustrates a perspective view of the combined hammer and pryer apparatus 100, showing the hammering action to fasten two solid bodies 202, and FIG. 5 exemplarily illustrates a perspective view of the combined hammer and pryer apparatus 100, showing prying initiation to remove the fastener 201 between two solid bodies 202. Referring to FIGS. 3-5, in an embodiment, the pry ends 103 and 104 comprise a pry initiation end 103 and a pry finishing end 104. The pry initiation end 103 is of a generally wedge shape and is defined at a first end 101a of the opposing ends 101a and 101b of the arcuate body 101 and rearwardly to the hammer section 102, where the pry initiation end 103 is configured to initiate a removal of the fastener inserted between the solid bodies 202. The user uses the pry initiation end 103 to initiate the removal of the fastener 201 where the fastener 201 is partially raised from the fastened condition. Now, the pry finishing end 104 is of a generally hook shape and is defined at a second end 101b of the opposing ends 101a and 101b of the arcuate body 101, where the pry finishing end 104 is configured to completely remove the fastener 201 from between the solid bodies 202, where the user engages the pry finishing end 104 underneath the partially removed fastener 201 as mentioned before, and completely removes the fastener 201 by applying leverage on the arcuate body 101. In an embodiment, the combined hammer and pryer apparatus 100 is made of a metal. In an embodiment, the combined hammer and pryer apparatus 100 is of multiple dimensions. In an embodiment, the combined hammer and pryer apparatus 100 is made of a metal.

[0014] FIG. 6 exemplarily illustrates a perspective view of an embodiment of the combined hammer and pry apparatus 100, showing V shaped grooves 105 positioned on the opposing pry ends 103 and 104. In an embodiment, the combined hammer and pryer apparatus 100 further comprises a generally V shaped groove 105 positioned on each of the pry ends 103 and 104 on the opposing ends 101a and 101b of the arcuate body 101, where the V shaped grooves 103 and 104 are configured to assist in gradually removing the fastener 201 from one of the solid body and the combination of solid bodies 202. The V shaped grooves 105 are designed to provide better grip around the fastener 201, which further provides additional stability while the fastener 201 is being pulled out of a solid body 202.
