IMPROVEMENT IN HUSKING-PINS.

Specication forming part of Letters Patent No. 123,615, dated February 13, 1872.

I, WILLIAM L. Conserv, of Hennepin, Putnam county, Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Husking- Pins; and the following is a full and exact description thereof, reference beinghad to the accompanying drawing mnkingpart of this specication, in Which- Figure 1 is a plan vieu7 with the strap removed; Fig. 2, a.- side View with strap inserted in the two holes; Fig. 3, a perspective of the device ready to be applied to the hand.

In the drawing, a represents the huskingpin, and f the strap by means of which it is secured to the hand. The pin a may be made of any suitable metal, one end, b, being curved and pointed as usual, While upon the other end is a knob, c. d e arel holes in a. One end of the strapf is secured in the hole d. In Fig. 8 two loops, g und h, are shown. The formeris designed to receive theY middle or long finger, thclatter to receive the third and fourth fingers. The outer end of the stra-p is provided with one or more slits or holes large enough to permit the passage of the knob c, so that the device ca-n be adj listed to hands of dil'erent sizes. Vhen first applied to the hand it will be most convenient to rst form the loop g and insert the iinger into it; then pass the strap between the husker and hand, and over the third and fourth fingers, and secure the end of the strap over the knob c, which will prevent the strep from slipping off. Instead of a knob, c, a hook might be used.

My improvements consist in providing the husking-pin With the knob c, and in the inanner of securing the pin to the hand.

I/Vhen this husking-pin is fastened to the han d as described it will be held securely in its place and in position for use without any efiort, and will not get out of place when the hand is opened, While the curved point b will'always be directly under the thumb. The buskercan be used with a glove as Well as Without.

Wha-t I cla-im as new is as follows:

The pin a., when provided with the curved point b, holes d c, knob c, and perforated strap j", substantially as and for the purposes speciied.

WILLIAM L. CORSON.
