COMBINED HAI/VK AND TIROJVEL.
Specification of Letters Patent. Patented NOV, 11, 1913.
Application filed February 6, 1912. Serial No. 675,741. 7
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, HENRY O. BEAN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Cold water, in the county of Comanche and State of Kansas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in a Combined Hawk and Trowel, of which the following is a specification.
The present invention relates to means for applying plastering or plastic material toa wall or other support.
Ordinarily in applying plastering or plastic material to a wall the mason uses a hawk upon which the plastic material is put from the plastering board. This hawk carrying the plastic material is held by the left hand on the left shoulder. In his other hand, the mason holds a trowel with which he takes the plastic material from the hawk and applies it to the wall. This process is comparatively slow and tedious.
I provide means for dispensing with the use of the separate hawk and trowel.
My invention consists generally in a com bined hawk and trowel. This device includes a relatively large blade to which are connected in a novel manner a pair of handles that are held in the two hands of the mason. The plastic material is placed upon this blade and by the same is applied to the wall. It is thus seen that I dispense with the separate employment of the trowel and that my device while serving the purpose of the hawk is also employed as a trowel. My device saves both time and labor.
An important object of my invention is to provide means of the above mentioned character which are simple in construction, strong and durable.
Other objects and advantages of my invention will appear during the course of the following description.
In the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, and in which like numerals are employed to designate like parts throughout the same, Figure 1 is a plan view of the device, Fig. 2 is a side view of the same, and, Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional view of the same.
In the drawings wherein for the sake of illustration I have shown a preferred embodiment of my invention, numeral 1 designates a plate, which is Preferably rectangular and is formed. slightly curved in crosssection, as shown. The outer surface of the plate 1 is convex while the inner surface is concave.
Disposed upon the concave surface of the plate 1 is an integral strip 2, comprising preferably circular heads 3 connected by a longitudinal section a, which is provided with transverse strips or sections 5. The different parts of the strip 2 are rigidly connected to plate 1 by means of bolts or screws 6. The outer ends or the heads of these bolts or screws are countersunk in the convex surface of the plate 1 and are flush therewith, as shown.
In order that the plate 1 may be properly operated for applying the plastic material in accordance with my method, it is necessary that it be held or ooerated by the two hands of the mason. I therefore provide two handles 6 and 7 which are rigidly and detachably connected with the heads 3 of the connecting strip 2. Each of the handles is provided with an axial opening 8 for receiving a securing pin 9, having a screw-threaded portion 10 at its free end. This screwthreaded portion operates within a screwth-readed axial opening formed through a boss or lug 11, which is formed upon the head 8. The handle is provided at its attaching end-with an opening or socket 12, which is rectangular in horizontal cross-section to snugly receive the lug 11. It is thus seen that each of the handles is rigidly attached to the heads 3 and that the two handles are rigidly connected together through the medium of the securing strip 2. I preferably form the plate 1 of sheet steel of other metal. The securing strip 2 is also formed of sheet metal. The handles 6 and 7 may be formed of wood or other suitable material.
In the use of my device the plastic material is placed upon the convex face of the plate 1 and the mason takes hold of the two handles 6 and 7 and applies the plastic material to the wall. Attention is called to the fact that by having a relatively large plate 1,
the plastic material may be applied much more quickly and in larger amounts than by the employment ofa trowel. By forming the plate 1, curved in pross-section it 'may be more easily operated 1n applying the same and that-certain changes in the size,
7 shape andarrangement of parts may be resorted towithout departing from the spirit of myinvention or the scope of the subjoi'nedclaim'. Haying thus described my lnvention, I
A; combined hawk and trowel comprising a' relative'ly' long substantially rectangular plate permanently curved in cross-seetion,
disks rigidlysecured upon the concave surface of the plate near and'spaced from the cross;s'ection and provided with a central screw-threaded opening, an integral handle formed entirely of wood and having a socket formed in one end thereof to receive the lug, the handle being provided. with a longitudinal opening formed therethrough, and a bolt extending through the longitudinal openingand haying its inner end screw-threaded to engage within the screwthreaded end of the lug.
In testimony whereof I ailix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
