Abstract
A chalk fine tool is provided having a tear-drop shaped body which houses a chalk line spool and chalk for coating the chalk line and a handle connected to the body and acting as a reservoir for additional chalk. The reservoir feeds the cavity in the body. The flow of chalk is controlled between the reservoir and the cavity. The handle advantageously acts to maintain the operator's hands away from the hand crank used to retract the chalk line and provides an extended reach with the tool for improved ergonomics when using the tool. The chalk line tool can be manufactured with the handle or can be retrofit with parts which are supplied as a kit.
Claims (16)
1. A chalk line toot comprising:
a body having a cavity defined therein for housing a spool around which a chalk line is extensibly and retractably wound, adapted for containing chalk for coating the chalk line and having a port at a first end through which the chalk line is extended and retracted; and a handle extending from a second end of the body and having a reservoir defined therein, the reservoir acting to hold chalk, the reservoir being fluidly connected to the cavity in the body.
a body having a cavity defined therein for housing a spool around which a chalk line is extensibly and retractably wound, adapted for containing chalk for coating the chalk line and having a port at a first end through which the chalk line is extended and retracted; and a handle extending from a second end of the body and having a reservoir defined therein, the reservoir acting to hold chalk, the reservoir being fluidly connected to the cavity in the body.
2. The chalk line tool as described in claim 1 wherein the handle further comprises:
a port for the addition of chalk thereto; and a plug for removeably sealing the port.
a port for the addition of chalk thereto; and a plug for removeably sealing the port.
3. The chalk line tool as described in claim 1 wherein:
the body further comprises a body base and a body top;
the handle comprised a handle base and a handle top; and the body base and the handle base being contiguous.
the body further comprises a body base and a body top;
the handle comprised a handle base and a handle top; and the body base and the handle base being contiguous.
4. The chalk line tool as described in claim 3 wherein the body top and the handle top are contiguous.
5. The chalk line tool as described in claim 1 further comprising a channel between the cavity and the reservoir for restricting the amount of chalk entering the body from the reservoir.
6. The chalk line tool as described in claim 1 further comprising a brake for actuating freewheeling of the spool for controlling release of chalk line from the spool.
7. The chalk line tool as described in claim 6 wherein the brake further comprises:
a plurality of teeth formed about the spool; and a projection protruding inward through the body for alternately engaging one of a plurality of spaces formed between the plurality of teeth formed about the spool.
a plurality of teeth formed about the spool; and a projection protruding inward through the body for alternately engaging one of a plurality of spaces formed between the plurality of teeth formed about the spool.
8. The chalk line tool as described in claim 7 wherein the projection is attached to a trigger extending through an opening in the body, the trigger being biased to normally project into engagement with the one of a plurality of spaces; wherein when the trigger is actuated the projection is released from the one of a plurality of spaces permitting the spool to freewheel:
9. The chalk line as described in claim 1 further comprising:
a base and a top for forming the body and defining a cavity therebetween for housing a chalk line, a spool and chalk, the base having a body end portion and a handle end portion; and a handle top portion;
wherein when the handle top portion is fastened to the base handle end portion a reservoir is formed therebetween, the reservoir capable of holding a supply of chalk therein and being fluidly connected to the cavity for supplying chalk thereto.
a base and a top for forming the body and defining a cavity therebetween for housing a chalk line, a spool and chalk, the base having a body end portion and a handle end portion; and a handle top portion;
wherein when the handle top portion is fastened to the base handle end portion a reservoir is formed therebetween, the reservoir capable of holding a supply of chalk therein and being fluidly connected to the cavity for supplying chalk thereto.
10. The chalk line tool as described in claim 9 further comprising a plate positioned between the handle end portion of the base and the handle top portion for restricting the flow of chalk between the reservoir and the cavity.
11. A chalk line tool comprising:
a body having a base and a top for forming the body and defining a cavity therebetween, the body housing a spool around which a chalk line is retractably wound, adapted for containing chalk for coating the chalk line and having a port a first end through which the chalk line is extended and retracted, the base having a body end portion and a handle end portion; and a handle top portion;
wherein when the handle top portion is fastened to the base handle end portion a reservoir is formed therebetween, the reservoir capable of holding a supply of chalk therein and being fluidly connected to the cavity for supplying chalk thereto.
a body having a base and a top for forming the body and defining a cavity therebetween, the body housing a spool around which a chalk line is retractably wound, adapted for containing chalk for coating the chalk line and having a port a first end through which the chalk line is extended and retracted, the base having a body end portion and a handle end portion; and a handle top portion;
wherein when the handle top portion is fastened to the base handle end portion a reservoir is formed therebetween, the reservoir capable of holding a supply of chalk therein and being fluidly connected to the cavity for supplying chalk thereto.
12. The chalk line tool as described in claim 11 further comprising a plate positioned between the handle end portion of the base and the handle top portion for restricting the flow of chalk between the reservoir and the cavity.
13. A kit adapted for use with an existing chalk line tool, the existing tool having a body having a body base and a body top for defining a cavity therebetween adapted for containing chalk, the body housing a spool around which a chalk line is retractably wound and having a port at a first end through which the chalk line is extended and retracted, the kit comprising:
a base having a body end portion and a handle end portion, the body end portion being adapted for forming the body base in co-operation with the body top of the existing chalk line tool after removal of the existing body base from the existing chalk line tool; and a handle top portion for fastening to the handle end portion forming a reservoir therebetween for holding a supply of chalk therein and being fluidly connected to the cavity for supplying chalk thereto.
a base having a body end portion and a handle end portion, the body end portion being adapted for forming the body base in co-operation with the body top of the existing chalk line tool after removal of the existing body base from the existing chalk line tool; and a handle top portion for fastening to the handle end portion forming a reservoir therebetween for holding a supply of chalk therein and being fluidly connected to the cavity for supplying chalk thereto.
14. The chalk line tool as described in claim 13 further comprising brake means for actuating freewheeling of the spoof for controlling release of chalk line from the spool.
15. The chalk line tool as described in claim 13 further comprising a plate for positioning between the handle top portion and the body top for sealing between the base, the handle top portion and the body top.
16. The chalk line tool as described in claim 15 wherein the plate restricts the flow of chalk between the reservoir and the cavity.
