Scythe Fastening.
Patented Nov. 21, 1854.
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE,
THOMAS C. BALL, OF SHELBURNE, MASSACHUSETTS, ASSIGNOR TO NATHANIEL LAMSON.
IMPROVEMENT lN SCYTH E-FASTENINGS.
Specification forming partof Letters Patont No. 11.983. datcd November 21, 1854.
To all 'whom it may conccm:
Be it known that I, 'THOMAS C. BALL, of Shelburne, county of Franklin, State of Mas sachusetts,have invented anew and improved mode of securing scythes upon their snaths for the purpose of using the same, and which I denominate an improved Scythe-Fastening; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanyin; drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon- Figure l being a perspectivc view, Fig. 2, a longitudinal elevation, and Fig. 3 a transverse section, ot a portion of the snath With the fastening attached thereto.
A rep'resents the snath. B is a band or ferr'ule, ot' iron or other suitable metal, having an extensiowplate, G,extended longitudinally upon the face of the snath A. Through the fiattened face ot' this eXtension-plate G there is formed laterally a dovetailcd recess or groove, E, describing the arc ot' a circle having its center at or near the center, (shown at Gr.) To this recess E is fitted a slide, D, having upon its onter face and firnly connected by` I, which passes through the snath and is secured within the thumb-wheel H, by means of which the cam G is made to revolve.
The mode of using or Operating the fastening is as follows: The shank K being placed between the fulcrums F F, the slide D is placed in any position within the arc described bythe recess E which may be desired to cause the point ot' the scythe to remain at a greater or less distance from the operator. The thumbwheel H is then turned, thereby causing the cam G to revolve, andits greater diameter being extended against the shank, as at 75, a leverage is produced by the shank K between the fulcrums F F, thereby rnly securing the shank between the fulcrums, and also by the said leverage securing the slide D in its position within the recess E, thus tirmly securing the scythe to the snath,to which the fastening is attached.
I do not confine myself to the use of a cam, nor to the precise form or arrangenent ot' the several parts as herein set forth, but shall vary the same while I attain the same end by the several parts, as herein described, or their mechanical equivalents.
I do not claim the using of a cam or eccentrio for confining a scythe, nor the band and extension-mate attached; but
What I do claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
The slide D, With its fulcruns F F and its corresponding recess, E, in connection with the leverage ot' the shani: K, substantially as set forth.
THOS. 0. BALL.
