Description

tnited Ctatet @aient @with SAMUEL EABBITT, or BRAZIL, INDIANA, ASSISNOE To IIIMSELE AND JOSEPH L. HUSSEY, 0E SAME PLACE.
Lette/rs Pate-nt No. 105,161, dated July 12, `1870.
VIMPROVEMEH'ST IN AWLS- The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making parl: of the same A of my improved awl.
Figure 2 is a transverse section ofthe sam'c.
Similar vletters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
My invention relates to shoemakers awls, and has for its object to change their form and construction.
The invention consists in forming a dovetailed recess in the awl, with a hook near the end thereof; in fitting into said recess a tenoned slide, and then fitting them both into a correspondingly-constructcd handle.
'A, in the drawing, represents the handle of the awl.
B is the awl. It is fitted into the handle, and has a backward-projecting hook, a, formed on it, some slight distance from its point.
`tion will be particularly useful.
b is a slide, fitted upon the awl, it having a T- shaped-or dovetailed tenen, c, fitted into a groove ot said awl. The slide can thus be moved back and forth on the awl, but cannot be lifted ofi'. iVhen pushed forward aga-inst the hook it closes the saine, so as to forman eye, in which a thread is securely held.
For making or mending boots or shoes, this inven- Thus thevawl can be inserted through the leather, and can have its eye opened by drawing the slide back. Then the thread can be put into the hook cu the inside, and the slide moved forward again to close the eye. The awl can then be drawn out with the thread. The face ot' the `slide is roughened, to be readily-aud securely handled.
Having thus described my invention,
I claim as new and desire to secure by LLetters Patent- As an article of manufacture, a shoemakers awl,
consisting of needle B a, slide b c, and handle A, cach constructed and relatively arranged as set forth.
SAMUEL BABBITT.
