Definitions

the invention relates to a handle for tools.
handles for tools there are a variety of handles for tools, in which the handle is adapted both in cross-section and in longitudinal section to the size of a standard accepted hand and the function of the tool.
emphasis was placed primarily on the shape.
certain surface properties have been optimized to improve the grip, to ensure a certain comfort for the user.
two-component handles consist of two areas, namely an inner area which is made of a hard material to achieve the required grip strength and a second area which is made of a softer material to a certain extent To ensure comfort for the user.
the invention has for its object to provide a handle for tools that offers improved comfort for the user.
the invention provides a handle for tools, wherein the handle has at least three areas, each with different hardness.
the individual areas of the handle have so different deformable areas on. This makes it possible for the grip to yield, for example when a user accesses more at one point than at another.
the arrangement of the areas is chosen so that even for a hand of the user, which differs from the standard shape and the standard size, a better grip of the handle is achieved.
the first region is made of a material that is hard and the material of the second region soft, wherein the material of the second region has a higher hardness than the material of the third region.
the first, hard area of the handle ensures the required grip and is used to attach the shank of the tool in the handle.
the second and third portions of the handle allow the handle to conform to the anatomy of the hand. This prevents pinching that normally occurs when the handle is made of a hard, non-deformable material.
the second and third areas are preferably limited to a certain depth of the handle. This allows a strength required for connection to the tool to be given in the first, hard area.
the material of the third region is preferably a gel and designed as a cushion.
Gels are known for the design of the surface of tool handles and have properties that are advantageous for this application, namely a not so fast recovery and a compliance that seems particularly suitable.
FIG 1 shows a handle 10 for tools, wherein for a tool two identically shaped handles 10 are used, as shown in Figure 2 is sketched.
the handle 10 shown here is used in particular for pliers.
Each handle 10 has three areas, namely a first area 12, a second area 16 and a third area 18, wherein the areas 12, 16, 18 form a flush surface.
the areas 12, 16 and 18 are made of plastic and each have a different hardness.
the three areas 12, 16, 18 are shown here as continuous areas. However, the areas may also include multiple sections, which in addition do not need to be contiguous.
the first region 12 is made of hard material, in particular hard plastic, and is produced by injection molding.
the second region 16 is also made of plastic, but of soft material. This material ensures in particular for a good grip.
the material of the third region 18 is a gel and formed as a cushion.
the material used for the third region 18 is the same material as used in bicycle saddles. Gels have properties suitable for use as handles, namely, not too fast rebound and high compliance.
the third area 18 is connected to the handle 10 by spraying or placed on the handle 10 by insertion. These methods are known per se, therefore will not be discussed here.
the material of the third region 18 has a lower hardness than the material of the second region 16. As a result, the third region 18 is more deformable than the second region 16.
the first portion 12 has a recess 14 ( Figure 2) at one end of the handle 10 in which the shank (not shown) of the tool is mounted.
the Recess 14 is preferably formed during injection molding of the first region 12.
the shank of the tool is press-fitted or fixed by suitable adhesive.
connection of the shaft with the respective handle 10 can also be done by insert molding of the shaft (not shown).
the first portion 12 receives the shank (not shown) of the tool, it is necessary that the second and third portions 16, 18 are limited to a certain depth of the handle 10. Namely, to ensure a permanent connection, it is important that the shank (not shown) of the tool is embedded in the non-deformable material of the first region 12.
the shape of the grip 10 for pliers or similar tools is known.
the shape of the handle 10 is adapted to the anatomy of the hand and therefore has a curved upper edge according to FIG.
the handle 10 has a protruding portion 19 which delimits the handle 10 toward the tool.
the protruding portion 19 is known for handles 10.
the protruding portion 19 may prevent the hand from touching and injuring the tool.
the hand In the operation of the tool, the hand, in particular in the area between the thumb and forefinger, on the protruding portion 19 of the handle 10 at. Since at the protruding portion 19 of the handle 10, the hand rests during the entire operation of the tool and also the adjacent area of the hand between the thumb and forefinger is particularly sensitive, the risk of pinching is large. Therefore, the protruding portion 19 of the handle 10 on the hand-facing side of deformable material, in particular the previously described gel of the third region 18, while you back of the protruding portion 19, so the hand-facing side, from the first region 12 of Hard material is around To ensure the required strength for receiving the tool and to serve the support of the hand.
the second region 16 is arranged.
the second region 18 may have a non-slip surface to increase the grip and thereby improve the operation of the tool, so that even with wet and dirty hands, an easy operation is possible.
Each handle 10 has a portion 20 which is of the same material as the first portion 12.
the portion 20 prevents a part of the hand, in particular a finger, can get between the two handles 10 and is trapped.
a hole 22 is shown, wherein the second handle 10 has an identical hole 22.
a spring (not shown) is known to be disposed between the two handles 10 and may thus assist in pulling the tool apart.
the handle 10 can adapt to the anatomy of the hand.
the operation of the handle 10 is pleasant and crushing points on the hand avoided.
