MASONS J OINTER.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Aug. 1, 1916.
To all whom it may concern.-
-Be it known that I, ANTHONY WAYNE Downs, a citizen of the United States, residing at Dallas, in the county of Dallas and State of Texas, have invented a new and useful Masons Jointer, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to jointers particularly designed for use by stone masons and brick masons, one of the objects of the invention being to provide a simple, durable and eflicient tool of this character which can be used to out out mortar to a predetermined depth between courses of bricks or the like and to then smooth the surface of the mortar so that a neat and attractive joint will be produced.
With the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed can be made within the scope of what is claimed, without departing from the spirit of the invention.
In the accompanying drawings the preferred form of the invention has been shown.
In said drawings: Figure 1 is an eleva reference 1 designates a flat shank provided;
at one end, with an inclined portion 2 from which extends straight parallel runners 3, the free ends of which are outturned as shown at 4, thus to provide bearing surfaces. A tongue 5 is extended from the offset portion 2 and between the runners and this tongue constitutes a backing for a blade 6 in the form of an elongated strip having a longitudinal slot 7 designed to receive clamping screws 8 which extend into the tongue 5 and the ofi'set portion 2 of the tool. The blade 6 is of a width substantially equal to the distance between two adjoining bricks The blade 6 is adapted to be used between courses or between the bricks or blocks forming a course while the blade 13 is adapted to be used under the lowermost course of a wall or the like. In using the device the runners 3 are placed against the wall A in the position shown in Fig. 2 and with the end of the blade 6 extending into the space between the courses. The tool is then pushed in the direction indicated by the arrow in Fig. 2, so that the mortar in the path of the blade will be cut out and removed from between the courses. The exposed face of the mortar can be smoothed by tilting the tool and shifting it inthe opposite direction as in Fig 3. The blade 13 is used in the same manner as the blade 6.
The offset portion 9 and its terminal 10,
however, travel along the faces of the bricks or stones forming the course above the layer of mortar to be acted on by the blade 13.
Attention is called to the fact that the blade 6 extends slightly beyond the ends of the runner whereby this blade is especially adapted for removing mortar in angle bed joints. Importance is also attached to the fact that by utilizing the oifset arm 11 to which blade 13 is attached, mortar can be removed from all longitudinal joints irrespective of their location in the wall.
What is claimed is 1. The combination with a shank, of a runner extending from one end portion thereof and having a rounded terminal, a combined clearing out and smoothing blade curved from end to end and having its concavity facing the runner and its free end portion extending beyond the terminal of the runner, and means for adjustably connecting the blade to the shank, said blade intersecting the plane of the runner.
2. The combination with a shank, of a runner extending from one end portion thereof and having a rounded terminal, a shank and runner and constituting a side 15 combined Clearing out and smoothing blade extremity of the tool.
curved from end to 'end and having its In testimony that I claim the foregoing concavity faclng the runner "and its free as my own, I have hereto affixed my signar end portion extendmg beyond the termlnal ture in the presence of two Witnesses.
of the runner, and means for adjustably ANTHONY WAYNE DOWNS. connecting the blade to the shank, saidlVitnesses: blade intersecting the plane of the runner H. J. NELSON,
and being located beyond one side of the W. M. OWENS.
Copies of this patent may be obtained for five cents each, by addressing the Commissioner of Patents,
