GLAZIERS TOOL.

Specification of Letters Patent.

, Patented Feb. 2, 1915.

Application filed November 15. 1913. Serial No. 801,231.

To all whom 'it may concern Be it known that I, CHARLES A. HAssLER, a citizen of the United States, residing at lVaynesboro, in the county of Franklin and State of Pennsylvania, have invented cer` tain new and useful Improvements in Gla- Ziers Tools, of which the following is a specification', reference being had to the ac` companying drawings.

This invention relates to improvements in glaziers tools, and more particularly to tools for use in applying putty to the corners between the sash frames and the glass.

An object of this invention is the provision of a tool of this character comprising a cylinder for the reception of putty, the cylinder having a plunger slidably disposed the cylinder also having a triangular mouth t piece through which the putty is discharged and a blade extending therefrom so that the putty may be disposed in right angular corners as it is discharged from the tool.

With these and other objects in view, this invention consists in the novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts to -be hereinafter more fully described, claimed and illustrated in the accompanying ydrawing, in which- Figure 1 is a side elevation of the tool; Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section showing the mouth piece in full lines; Fig. 3 is a section on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2; Fig. 4 is an end view of the mouth piece; and Fig. 5 isa del tail sectional View taken f transversely through the extension as herein embodied.

Referring more particularly to the drawing, the numeral l designates a cylinder which is threaded externally as at 2 at one end and internally as at 3, at the opposite end thereof. A cap 4 is threaded upon the threads 2 of the cylinder, the cap being provided with a .central opening 5 through which a plunger rod cylinder. One extremity of the plunger rod is threaded for the reception of the thumb screw 7 whereby the plunger may be readily moved outwardly and inwardly cylinder. The other end of the plunger rod is provided with a reduced threaded exten` sion upon which a plunger 8 is mounted, a nut 9 being threadedlyengaged on the plunger rod outwardly of the lunger to hold the plungery in its adjusted) position upon the rod. A spiral spring 10 is disposed 6 extends within thev of the around the plunger rod 6 one end of the spring bearing against the cap 4, and the opposite end of the spring bearing against 'the plunger 8, to normally maintain the plunger in the outer end of the cylinder.

Mounted upon the lower end of the plunger rod 6 is a cup shaped washer 9 and arranged between the cup shaped washer and the lnut 9 is a metal washer 10" which is adapted to securely retain the central portion of the washer 9 in position. It will be readily understood that by having the edges of the washer 9 extending downwardly, the putty upon the downward 1nove ment of the plunger will press against the edges of the washer and spread the same out against the walls of the cylinder and thus prevent any of the putty from being formed back between the plunger and the inner wall of the cylinder. It will be apparent that without this cup-shaped washer. there will be nothing to prevent the .putty from being forced back as the flexible outer l edge of the washer will spread out and pre vent the putt \v from backingup any farther.

A mouth piece 11 is threadedly connected to the threads 3 in the outer end of the cylinder l, the mouth piece having a reduced tri-1 angular extension 12 extending longitudinally from one side thereof. The inner wall of the mouth piece 11 is tapered inwardly on one side as at 13, so as to guide the putty within the cylinder to the triangular opening 13 in the extension 12. A blade 14 ex tends outwardly at an acute angle from one wall of the extension 12, they outer edge of the blade being beveled to provide a cutting edge 15. The extension 12 is provided upon one face thereof with a groove 12 having undercut side walls which form the inwardly i extending flanges 14. Removably arranged within this groove and disposed beneath the inwardly extending flanges is the shank portion 15 of the blade 14. From this construction it will be readily apparent that the blade may be quickly land readily .removed from the.extension 12 to be sharpened or for various other purposes,'as the insertion of a new blade or the like. A transversely extending threaded opening 16 is formed in the cap 4, the opening 16 communicating with the opening 5 in the cap, and a set screw 17 is adjustably disposed in the opening 16, the head of the set screw Abeing adapted for engagement with the peiriphery of the plunger rod 6 to hold the plunger in any desired position within the cylinder.

In the practical use of my device, the mouth piece 11 is removed from the outer end of the cylinder, and the plunger 8 is moved rearwardly of the cylinder against the action of the spring 10, the plunger being held in such position by the engagement of the set screw 17 therewith. The cylinder is then filled with putty or the like, and the mouth piece 11 is again connected to the outer end of the cylinder whereupon thel this position, the set screw 17 may be disengaged from the plunger rod 6, so that the plunger may move outwardly in the cylinder under the tension of the sprin 10 to force the putty out ofthe triangu ar eX- tension 12 of the mouth piece, and the tool maybe moved downwardly so that the putty is fed at its proper place the entire length of the glass, whereupon the set screw 17 .may be engaged with the plunger rod 6 to stop the outward movement of the plunger. 'Ihe blade 14 presses the putty in its proper position as the tool is moved over the glass.

As'the free edge of the blade 14 is sharp-- cned, itl may be used to` dislodge any hardened putty from the window sash before the new glass is applied thereto. The tension of the spring 1Q may be regulated by adjusting the plunger 8 upon the threaded extension 9 of the plunger rod, whereby the distance between the plunger 8 and the cap 4 against which the opposite ends of the spring rest may be adjusted.

From the above description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, Lit will be seen that I have provided a -tool for yapplying putty to corners, the tool comprising a small number of parts which may be readily taken apart, and one which will apply the putty tothe corners and press it in position therein with one motion of the tool.

What I claim isf:

A tool of the character described comprising a cylinder, a cap connected to one saidv plunger and said cap, a mouth piece detachably connected to the other end of said cylinder, said mouth piece having an extenslon triangular in cross section, and a blade extending from said extension at an acute angle, as and for the purpose described.

In testimony whereof I hereunto alix my
