eea este ALBERT HEUssER, or ELLINcTo'N, coNNEcrcUT Letters Patent No. 110,974, dated January 17, 1871.
YIMPROVEMENT IN WEDGES FOR SPLITTING WOOD.
The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.
Be itknown that I, ALBERT Hanssen, o'f Elling ton, county of Tolland and State `ot Connecticut, have invented certain new Improvements in Wedges for Splitting Wood, of which the following is a specication. a
The object of my iuvention is to overcome the chief iiiculties met in using the ordinary inet-allieA wedge, to wit, by being solid they are bulky and heavy, and in winter very disagreeable in the hands`ot' the-woodman; second, when placed in the fissure of a log and struck with a beetle, the wedge often recoils; more especially is this the case when the log or block be of a hard or knotty nature. j
The nature of my invention cousists'vin the combination of wood and metal in the construction of the wedge, to combine lightness and convenience with durablity,by making that part' which receives the blow adjustable and of wood to hc renewed at pleasure, and also to admit of the usc of metallic beetle when desired.
Drawing. Figure l is an outline view. v Figure 2 represents a section through the line :v rc.
F, the oppo'site end being furnished with a ferrule, D.
E arc extension strips from the sides ot' socket F. C are adjustable screws holdingr Eto the sides of l'the stock.`
It will he seen that this wedge is solidlnetai up to the extent of its taper, so that its strength is in no way diminished 'for splitting purposes, though the great hulk and weight of metal which follows the taper of the ordinary wedge, which, in many cases, is four or live-times as great as that part which constitutes the taper, is done away with.
XVhat I claim asy thy-invention, aud desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is-
A wedge of solid metal up to the extent of' its taper, and from thence wood, protected von its wearing sides with metal, substantially asV and for the purposes herein described and set forth in the foregoing specication.
Witnesses: ALBERT HEUSSER.
