A shovel head counterweight for a helmet has been described. The counterweight has a mass that acts to counterbalance other objects attached to a helmet, such as night vision goggles. The shape and thin profile of the counterweight distributes the mass across the surface of the helmet to decrease strain on the user's neck. In addition, the underside of the counterweight is contoured to snuggly fit against the curvatures of the helmet. The counterweight also has one or more fasteners for removably attaching the counterweight to the helmet. The fastener(s) can also be used to attach a bar for use as a shovel. The counterweight has a digging edge for shoveling and a concave underside for scooping dirt or other material. |

This invention is generally directed to a new connecting structure for connecting the bodies of hand-operated tools to their handles. It solves the technical difficulty in standardizing the connection of hand-operated tools and handles. The technical strategy involves separating the connecting structure to the connecting segment and handle fix segment. The axial opening of the handle fix segment fits the shape of handle, and handle is installed into the handle fix segment. The present invention has the advantages of simple design, convenience for mass manufacture, ease and reliability in connecting, assembling, and adjusting standardized connection process, and cost-efficiency in production and transportation. |

A process for manufacturing a hand tool includes the steps of assembling a tool handle to a molded composite handle adapter to form a tool handle assembly, and attaching the assembly to a tool head utilizing removable fasteners. The tool handle assembly is formed by utilizing a portion of the tool handle as an insert in the mold for the handle adapter. A handle receiving socket is formed during the molding process around the inserted end of the tool handle shaft, to securely fasten the tool handle to the handle adapter. The handle adapter has an enlarged base that is seated on a platform of the tool head. Threaded fasteners, such as machine screws, are received within the handle adapter and locked in place to attach a tool handle assembly to the tool head. A shim may be disposed between the tool head and the handle adapter to facilitate use of the tool handle assembly with a number of different tool heads. |
