Having a few thoughts kicking around in my head and not getting anywhere, I did a web search and found this site www.freepatentsonline.com Hadn't come across it before and have just spent ages looking through different inventions. Following the recent deletion of a topic I looked up 6508315 and now can understand why it might have been taken down. John |

dear john thank you for the replie i have been trying to get as many of these plans, blue prints. that i can what i am looking for is a different way to make one. a whole lot less expansive. some thing the average person can build. thank you Richard Westerfield |

Good luck Richard, there are many ways of approaching this tool and a search through the patents should give you a broad idea of what has been done before. John |

John & Richard, Can you give details about the mechanism you wish to build? There are numerous means of converting pressure into hammer-strokes -- as well as purely mechanical means as well. What are the requirements? What are the limitations? If we can construct a product specification, the design (tends) to follow moderately easily. |

A patent only grants a licence to commercially exploit an invention or device. Anyone can make an exact copy of one for their own use. |
