Patent number: 7665390Abstract: A striking tool is disclosed that comprises a generally U-shaped or V-shaped handle constructed of a substantially resilient material and having a head fixed at one end thereof. A second end of the handle has a hand grip or gripping region adapted to be grasped by a human hand. The second end of the U-shaped or V-shaped handle includes a flange, or stop member, to inhibit the handle from slipping out of the grasping hand. The hand grip may include a lip at a lower end thereof, such that a pinky finger of the hand may be comfortably placed on either side of the lip while the hand grasps the hand grip. The resilient material construction of the handle permits a first end of the handle to flex slightly towards and away from the second end of the handle. Accordingly, during use, the striking tool provides a damped recoil and improved striking action, imparting less shock to the hand, wrist, elbow, shoulder, and other parts of the body, as compared to a conventional striking tool.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2008Date of Patent: February 23, 2010Inventor: Charles J.
