DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

[0033] The present invention is further described with the accompanying drawings as follows.

[0034] Referring to FIG. 1 of the drawings, the split-type impact hand tool of the present invention includes a handle 1, an impact rod 2, an outer sleeve 3, an impact head 4, a cushion pad 5, a tool head 6 and an inner hole slot 7.

[0035] The outer sleeve 3 has a central opening 31 at a first end opened through to a sleeve receiving cavity 32. The impact rod 2 is inserted into the sleeve receiving cavity 32 through the central opening 31 of the outer sleeve 3. The cushion pad 5 is provided inside the outer sleeve 3 at a vertical center axis. The cushion pad 5 is a rubber pad having a shape of one of a circular shape, a square shape or a plum shape and an overall thickness of 3-10 mm, and has a periphery portion 51 adhered to an inner wall 33 of the outer sleeve 3. The thickness of the cushion pad 5 may be varied based on a length of the impact rod 2. The periphery portion 51 of the cushion pad 5 is glued to the inner wall 33 of the outer sleeve 3 so that the outer sleeve 3 and the cushion pad 5 are bonded together to form an integrated body. The tool head 6 is installed to a second end of the outer sleeve 3 through the inner hole slot 7 provided at the second end of the outer sleeve 3 and internal thread 72 is provided at an inner wall 71 of the inner hole slot 7.

[0036] The tool head 6 comprises a connecting rod 6-1, a working head 6-2, a working rod portion 6-4 and a connecting sleeve 6-3. The connecting rod 6-1 and the connecting sleeve 6-3 is integrally connected to form a stepped hollow structure defining a connecting cavity 613. The connecting rod 6-1 has an outer wall 611 and an external thread 612 matching with the internal thread 72 of the inner hole slot 7. The connecting sleeve 6-3 has a connecting sleeve outer wall 631 provided with anti-slip surface 632. The working head 6-2 and a working rod portion 6-4 is a one-piece structure. The working rod portion 6-4 is inserted into the connecting cavity 613 of the stepped hollow structure and a rubber filler 615 is provided to fill the gap between the working rod portion 6-4 and an inner wall 614 of the connecting rod 6-1.

[0037] Preferably, the impact head 4 provided at one end the impact rod 2 inside the outer sleeve 3 has a tapered structure. The impact rod 2 and the impact head 4 are a one-piece structure. The impact rod 2 has a free end coupled with a handle 1. The handle 1 is made of rubber material and is bonded to the impact rod 2 to form an integral structure.

[0038] The connecting rod 6-1 has a free end and an end plate provided at the free end. The central portion of the end plate is an outward circular protrusion. The working rod portion 6-4 has a length greater than a length of the connecting rod 6-1 by 0.5-1 mm. The protruded portion of the working rod portion 6-4 is positioned inside the outward circular protrusion. The outward circular protrusion is in direct contact with the cushion pad. When the cushion pad is acted on by an impacting force from the impact head's side, the other side of the cushion pad directly acts on the circular protrusion and the free end of the working rod portion.

[0039] The tool head 6 and the outer sleeve 3 are detachably connected together so that different types of tool heads may be selected and installed according to actual needs.

Embodiment 1

[0040] Referring to FIG. 2 of the drawings, the working head 6-2 is a shovel body having a flat trapezoidal structure, a cutting edge is provided at a front end and a working hole is provided at a junction between the working head 6-2 and the connecting rod 6-1.

Embodiment 2

[0041] Referring to FIG. 3 of the drawings, the working head 6-2 is a shovel body having a flat polygonal structure, a concave cutting edge with a curvature of 150-170 is provided at a front end and a working hole is provided at a junction between the working head 6-2 and the connecting rod 6-1.

Embodiment 3

[0042] Referring to FIG. 4 of the drawings, the working head 6-2 is a prismatic structure with a polygonal cross-section, and a working hole is provided at a junction between the working head 6-2 and the connecting rod 6-1. Preferably, the working head is a triangular pyramid or a quadrangular pyramid.

[0043] The inner hole slot 7 has a bottom portion 73 and a filling layer 74 for buffering is provided at the bottom portion 73 of the inner hole slot 7. The filling layer 74 has a thickness of 1-3 mm.

[0044] After the tool head 6 is screwed into the inner hole slot 7 through the internal thread and the external thread, the free end of the connecting rod directly presses the filling layer. When the impact head impacts the cushion pad, the entire outer sleeve will carry the tool head to impact on the working part. At the same time, the filling layer can further provide buffering effect and resonance effect to the connecting rod, thus increasing the impact force, reducing the hard fiction between the connecting rod and the inner hole slot, and prolonging the service life of the tool.

[0045] The impact hand tool of the present invention is simple and efficient to use, and can effectively avoid injury or inaccurate point of contact. The application of the impact hand tool is very wide, which is applicable for building cleaning, post-casting modification, opening trunking on wall, tiling, slag cleaning, ice cutting for winter fishing, hacking firewood, picking oyster, surface cleaning of marine facilities, and etc.

[0046] One skilled in the art will understand that the embodiment of the present invention as shown in the drawings and described above is exemplary only and not intended to be limiting.

[0047] It will thus be seen that the objects of the present invention have been fully and effectively accomplished. Its embodiments have been shown and described for the purposes of illustrating the functional and structural principles of the present invention and is subject to change without departure from such principles. Therefore, this invention includes all modifications encompassed within the spirit and scope of the following claims.
