FIELD OF THE INVENTION

Disclosed herein is a hoe handle lightening apparatus with nut- bolt system. This invention relates specifically to device that holds the hoe handle and the hoe blade firmly together. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

This invention pertains to means for fixing tool-blades, more particularly hoe-blades on handles; and it consists in the peculiar and advantageous construction hereinafter described, and particularly pointed out in the claims appended. The prior art, typically include a garden hoe head or hoe blade, and hoe handle.

This invention relates to an improved coupling and bolt construction for quick attachment and detachment of various tool heads on a single handle, or alternately for replacing or substituting successive handles. In the known art, the garden hoe work head is mounted by inserting shims or staples in the socket for tightly mounting the handle and the head firmly together. No matter how tightly the wooden handle is inserted to the socket of the hoe blade the handle loosens from the socket and gradually the blade and the handle gets detached. It is a huge mess for a famer to tighten theliandle every time when he needs to use the tool. This is because the non-uniform engagement between handle and socket and/or further splitting the wooden handle and consequently promoting greater disintegration thereof. While obviously cylindrical or conical handle ends might be preferred because of forming a better initial fit, in contrast oval or rectangular socket sections have often been used because-the actual coupling 1 means employed did not prevent the conical handle from turning in the socket after a little use. And of course such looseness was frequently the forerunner of subsequent separation or breakage between the tool head usually destroyed any latent or potential possibility of making such units interchangeable, with the practical result that if either the handle or head does not immediately fly off or separate, but upon the operator observing the loose condition, the coupling can readily be tightened, in a new position if necessary, in a moment of time. In other words, more than a minimal or initial looseness is necessary to permit disengagement of the handle and socket, and such condition usually attracts the attention of the operator in time to correct it.

In order to overcome the loosening problem the farmers use hoe with iron or galvanized iron (GI) handles with handle welded to hoe blade. The problem with the iron or GI pipe is that the handle becomes slippery. Another problem with the welded hoe is the chance of breakage and resultant injury. In hilly areas the farmers use to lay electric line aground to prevent the wild animals from destroying the agriculture. The iron handle of the hoe may also cost the life of the farmer due to such unsafe electric line. Therefore welded iron or GI handle is not a substitute for wooden handle of the hoe. Therefore iron handle is not a preferred alternative for wooden handle. The object of the invention is to preserve the traditional wooden handle and at the same time to overcome the problems of the traditional hoe.

The objects of the invention will become apparent after consideration of the following description of the invention and its preferred embodiments detailed hereinafter.

SUMMMARY OF THE INVENTION

It is the principal object of the present invention to loosening of the wooden handle of the traditional hoe. It is also the primary purpose of the invention to ensure that the materials used for the manufacture of the invention are easily available and environmentally friendly. The handle of hoe getting loose every time is a serious concern for a framer. The object of invention extends to all type of tools in which similar handle and head system like a hoe is used.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The following description with reference to the accompanying drawings is provided to assist in a comprehensive understanding of exemplary embodiments of the invention as defined by the claims and their equivalents. It includes various specific details to assist in that understanding but these are to be regarded as merely exemplary. Accordingly, those of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that various changes and modifications of the embodiments described herein can be made without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention. In addition, descriptions of well-known functions and constructions are omitted for clarity and conciseness.
The terms and words used in the following description and claims are not limited to the bibliographical meanings, but, are merely used by the inventor to enable a clear and consistent understanding of the invention. Accordingly, it should be apparent to those skilled in the art that the following description of exemplary embodiments of the present invention are provided for illustration purpose only and not for the purpose of limiting the invention as defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.

It is to be understood that the singular forms "a," "an," and "the" include plural referents unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. Thus, for example, reference to "a component surface" includes reference to one or more of such surfaces.

Figs. 1 discussed below, and the various embodiments used to describe the principles of the present disclosure in this patent document are by way of illustration only and should not be construed in any way that would limit the scope of the disclosure. Those skilled in the art will understand that the principles of the present disclosure may be implemented in any suitably arranged communications system. The terms used to describe various embodiments are exemplary. It should be understood that these are provided to merely aid the understanding of the description, and that their use and definitions in no way limit the scope of the invention. Terms first, second, and the like are used to differentiate between objects having the same terminology and are in no way intended to represent a chronological order, unless where explicitly stated otherwise. A set is defined as a non-empty set including at least one element.

An aspect of the present invention is to address at least the above-mentioned problems and/or disadvantages and to provide at least the advantages described below.

Accordingly, an aspect of the present invention is that a Hoe handle tightening assembly with nut- bolt system consisting essentially of a transversely apertured, tubular socket member open at either both or at receiving end to receive a correspondingly shaped and transversely apertured, attachment end of a handle inserted therein and the tubular socket member being shaped like a coupling of which upper member is separate from the hoe head and the upper couple of the tubular socket member is connected to the lower couple on the either side by headed nuts and bolts and having locking means including headed bolts and the coupling, which bolts when tightened the inserted handle and upper socket member exerts pressure on the handle and the handle is tightly locked inside the socket.

A particular feature of such construction is that the handle could be removed from the hoe head by merely loosening the nut as shown in figure-1. In this connection, an especially advantageous aspect is that the handle could be tightened by tightening the headed bolt whenever the handle gets loosen due to regular work. Likewise illustrated the couple arrangement could be used in long handled, short handled hoe and all types of hoes.

While the preferred embodiments of the invention have been described above, it will be recognized and understood that various modifications may be made therein and the appended claims are intended to cover all such modifications which may fall within the spirit and scope of the invention.

I Claim,
