Description
WILLIAM P. WENTWORTH, 0F SENECA FALLS, NEW YORK.
Letters Patent No. 107,314, elated September 13, 1870.
IMPROVEMENT IN SNOW-SHOVELS.
The Schedule refen'ed to n these Letters Patent and making part 0f the same.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, WILLIAM P. Wnbirwonrn, of Seneca Falls, county of Seneca and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Snow-Shovels, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawing making a part ot' this specication, in which- Figure l is a perspective view of my device;
Figure 2, a similar view of a portion of the front ofthe same, showing the tip in position;
Figure 3, a similar View of the same, showing the smv-kerfinto which the tip is fastened and Figure 4, a similar viewvof a portion of the tip detached from the shovel.
Letters of lilfe name and kind refer to like parts in each of the figures. l
The nature of luy invention relates to wooden shov-v els, provided with metallic tips, for the purpose of ro moving snow and ice from sidewalks, paths, and like places, and consists in the peculiar construction ofthe tips, and the method'of securing the saine to the shovel.
In the drawing- D represents the blade of the shovel.
E, the hack of the same, sloped at a convenient angle, and
H, the handle, secured by bolts I upon the back and the blade ofthe shovel, as shown in lig. l.
lhese parts are m'ade of wood, and are as slight as is consistent with strength.
0n the front edge of the shovel-blade a out, P, is made with a saw, for the purpose of receiving the tip l. This tip, made of proper metal, is shaped as shown in g. 4, a vertical cross-section vdisplaying very nearly the i'orin of au arrow, anda portion ofits shaft, and is provided Withavings, A, extending a little way from the rear horizontal center. of the front B', and
connecting the arms O, which extend in the same plane with the wings, and further to the rear, and are provided at their outer extremities with holes, O, for the purpose of fastening the tip ofthe shovel. There arethree or more of these arms to each tip, the number differing with the size and width of the shovel.
The mode of attaching this tip is by driving the ,arms and wings of the same into the saiv-kerf in the' front of the blade, into which they should tit closely, and securing the tip in position by suitable rivets, J, passing through the blade oi' the shovel, and the ,holes in the arms ofthe tip.
This method of Instening is very simple and very cheap, and, as a tip might ontlast several shovels, it
brings it within the capacity of almost every person to apply and secure the tip to a wooden shovel of his own making. The advantages of the form of the tip lie in its cheapness,lightncss, simplicity, and strength, making an excellent and durable cutting-edge to the blade.
Having thus set out the nature and description of luy invention, v
What I claim as new therein is- 1. The tip B for a snow-shovel, consisting of' the front B', the wings A, and the arms O, provided with holes C, constructed substantiallyy as described and shown. v
2. The method described and shown of attaching the tip B to a snow-shovel blade, D, by means ofthe saw-kerf l) and rivets J, substantially-as described and shown.
WILLIAM l. WE N'lWO ETH.
