Method for making a magnetic handle for hand tools

Abstract

A method for making magnetic handles includes step 1 of mixing magnetic powders into plastic material; step 2 of plastic injecting the mixture of the magnetic powders and the plastic material into a handle; step 3 of magnetizing the handle by being connected with electric poles, and step 4 of final fishing the handle.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates to a method for making a hand tool that has a magnetic handle which can be conveniently attached onto a metal surface.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] A conventional hand tool generally includes a handle and a shank which is fixed to the handle. There is no specific place for positioning the hand tool which could roll away from the users such that the users cannot find the tool immediately. FIG. 1 shows that the handle 10 of a hand tool includes two magnets 11 connected thereto so that the handle 10 can be attracted onto a metal surface by the magnets 11. The magnets 11 are easily broken when the magnets 11 are hit by a hard object. Besides, the handle 10 can only be attracted onto a metal surface by the portion where the magnets 11 are located so that the users have to check the positions of the magnets 11 before the tool is to be attracted onto the metal surface.

[0003] The present invention intends to provide a method that mixes magnetic powders into material of the handle and the mixture is ejected by a machine to be a handle. The handle is then magnetized by electric ways so that the handle is magnetic.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0004] In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method for making magnetic handles and comprises the following steps:

[0005] step 1: mixing magnetic powders into plastic material;

[0006] step 2: plastic injecting the mixture of the magnetic powders and the plastic material into a handle;

[0007] step 3: magnetizing the handle by being connected with electric poles, and

[0008] step 4: final fishing the handle.

[0009] The present invention will become more obvious from the following description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings which show, for purposes of illustration only, a preferred embodiment in accordance with the present invention.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0010] FIG. 1 is a perspective view to show two conventional magnetic handles of hand tools;

[0011] FIG. 2 shows steps of the method of the present invention; and

[0012] FIG. 3 shows that the handles made by the method of the present invention are attracted onto a metal surface.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

[0013] Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3, the method for making magnetic handles comprises step 1 of mixing magnetic powders or small magnetic pieces into plastic material; step 2 of injecting the mixture of the magnetic powders and the plastic material into a handle 20 by way of plastic injecting; step 3 of magnetizing the handle 20 by being connected with electric poles, and step 4 of final fishing the handle 20.

[0014] The whole handle 20 is magnetic so that the users need not to check the orientation of the handle 20 before positioning onto a metal surface.

[0015] While we have shown and described the embodiment in accordance with the present invention, it should be clear to those skilled in the art that further embodiments may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
