ABSTRACT:
The device hereof comprises a manually mobile firewood log splitter adapted in the preferred embodiment version to be operable by a single individual upon relocatable movement thereof as needed from one use location to another, which device incorporates as features thereof a wheeled positioning and aligning support frame structure to enable an accurate adjustable placement of the cutting edge of any one of various interchangeable splitting blades at a selected position upon a particular firewood log section to be split, whereupon the operating individual step-mounts a pivotally deflectable spring biased elevating step integral to the support frame structure thus causing downwardly depending leg stancions thereof to engage the ground surface under operator weight and thus frictionally immobilize movement of the log splitting device to thereby effect retention of the set positioning fix of the selected splitting blade cutting edge upon a log section end for commencement of splitting operations, being thereafter accomplished by the operating individual manually elevating an aligned slidable hammer axially along a vertically extending rod and then releasing the hammer in aligned free-fall to strike an intercommunicating splitting blade anvil and thereby effect an accurate and efficient transfer of slidable hammer impact force to the downwardly disposed splitting blade cutting edge in set retained position upon the firewood log section and thus cause a splitting thereof.
