Tool for removing dents

Abstract

A tool for removing dents includes a first upper handle extending transversely and connected to a first downwardly extending rigid bar portion and a second lower handle extending transversely and connected to a second upwardly extending rigid bar portion, both portions interconnect a first lateral rigid bar portion disposed in a first X-Y plane between the first upper handle and the second lower handle. The handles are both on a first side of a second Y-Z plane and the handles extend generally in an opposing Z direction from one another. A second rigid upper bar portion extends generally in a Z direction opposing forming a U shape between the downwardly extending rigid bar portions, and the second rigid upper bar portion is on a second side of the second Y-Z plane. A rigid nose head extends from an end of the second rigid bar portion in a selectable fixable position.

1 . A tool for removing dents, which comprises:
 a rigid member having a first upper handle extending transversely and connected to a first downwardly extending rigid bar portion and a second lower handle extending transversely and connected to a second upwardly extending rigid bar portion, said first downwardly extending rigid bar portion and said second upwardly extending rigid bar portion interconnect a first end of a first lateral rigid bar portion disposed in a first X-Y plane between said first upper handle and said second lower handle and wherein said first lateral rigid bar portion extends laterally outwardly to a second end thereof, and a second Y-Z plane is defined through said first lateral rigid bar portion normal to said first X-Y plane and said handles are both on a first side of said second Y-Z plane wherein said first upper handle and said second lower handle extend generally in an opposing Z direction from one another;   a second rigid upper bar portion connects to said second end of said first lateral bar portion and extends generally in a Z direction opposing said downwardly extending rigid bar portion thus forming a U shape between said downwardly extending rigid bar portion, said first lateral rigid bar portion and said second rigid upper bar portion, and said second rigid upper bar portion is on a second side of said second Y-Z plane; and   a rigid nose head extending from an end of said second rigid bar portion.   
     
     
         2 . The tool of  claim 1 , wherein said rigid nose head extends inward generally in a direction toward said second Y-Z plane. 
     
     
         3 . The tool of  claim 1 , wherein said rigid nose head extends outward generally in a direction away from said second Y-Z plane. 
     
     
         4 . The tool of  claim 1 , wherein said rigid nose head includes a rounded aspect. 
     
     
         5 . The tool of  claim 1 , wherein said handles are one of integrally and separately connected as part of respective rigid handle bar portions and extend in a generally Y direction relative to said first X-Y plane. 
     
     
         6 . The tool of  claim 1 , wherein said rigid nose head is removably connected to said second second rigid upper bar portion. 
     
     
         7 . The tool of  claim 6 , wherein said end of said second rigid bar portion includes one of a threaded and a polygonal receiving surface for a complementary formed end of said rigid nose head. 
     
     
         8 . The tool of  claim 1 , wherein said handles include an enhanced gripping surface. 
     
     
         9 . The tool of  claim 6 , which includes a collar having a detent mechanism employed adjacent said second end of said second rigid upper bar portion to assist in removably receipt of a shank of said rigid nose head. 
     
     
         10 . A tool for removing dents, which comprises:
 a rigid member having a first upper handle extending transversely and connected to a first downwardly extending rigid bar portion and a second lower handle extending transversely and connected to a second upwardly extending rigid bar portion, said first downwardly extending rigid bar portion and said second upwardly extending rigid bar portion interconnect a first end of a first lateral rigid bar portion disposed in a first X-Y plane between said first upper handle and said second lower handle and wherein said first lateral rigid bar portion extends laterally outwardly to a second end thereof, and a second Y-Z plane is defined through said first lateral rigid bar portion normal to said first X-Y plane and said handles are both on a first side of said second Y-Z plane wherein said first upper handle and said second lower handle extend generally in an opposing Z direction from one another;   a second rigid upper bar portion connects to said second end of said first lateral bar portion and extends generally in a Z direction opposing said downwardly extending rigid bar portion thus forming a U shape between said downwardly extending rigid bar portion, said first lateral rigid bar portion and said second rigid upper bar portion, and said second rigid upper bar portion is on a second side of said second Y-Z plane; and   a rigid nose head removably connected to and extending from an end of said second rigid bar portion.   
     
     
         11 . The tool of  claim 10 , which includes a collar having a detent mechanism employed adjacent said second end of said second rigid upper bar portion to assist in removably receipt of a shank of said rigid nose head. 
     
     
         12 . The tool of  claim 11 , wherein said end of said second rigid bar portion includes one of a threaded and a polygonal receiving surface for a complementary formed end of said rigid nose head. 
     
     
         13 . The tool of  claim 10 , wherein said handles are one of integrally and separately connected as part of respective rigid handle bar portions and extend in a generally Y direction relative to said first X-Y plane.
