Definitions
- This invention relates to an improvement in ice-tongs for handling small blocks of ice; is
- a downward curve is then made in each arm, and the arms crossed, the arm on the right of the coils passing to the left of the arm on the left of the coils.
- a longer downward curve is then made in each arm below the point where they cross each other, and sharpened hooks are made on the end of each arm.
- A is the O-shaped portion of the tongs, formed of three coils in the piece of metal, which is afterward bent abruptly in opposite directions at B B again bentinto opposed curves 0 (3, which form the upper and smaller portion F of a figure 8; again bent into longer opposed curves D D, which partially form the lower enlarged portion G of a figure 8; and, lastly, sharpened and bent into hooks Compression of the F portion causes expansion of the G portion of the tongs, to admit the block of ice between the hooks E E. Relaxation of the compression at F permits contraction at G, and the hooks E E clamp the block of ice.
- This device can be most easily operated with one hand.

Description
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
ERNEST BAOHER, OF FINDLEY, OHIO, ASSIGNOR TO HIMSELF AND ALBER PARKER, OF SAME PLACE.
- IMPROVEMENT IN lCE-"TONGS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 127,012, dated May 21, 1872.
To all ivhom it may concern:
the accompanying drawing making part of thisspecification, in which Figure l is a view in perspective, and Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view of the improved ice-tongs.
1 This invention relates to an improvement in ice-tongs for handling small blocks of ice; is
- especially adapted for family use; and consists of a pair of tongs made from a single piece of elastic metal by bending it to nearly the shape of a figure 8, with the lower portion considerably enlarged, and a letter O resting upon the top of the upper and smaller portion of the figure. Three coils of the metal piece, made in the central portion thereof, form the O- shaped portion of the tongs. The arms or straight portions on each side of the coils, bein g now parallel and about one inch apart, are bent abruptlyin opposite directions, their ends receding, and the bends being made immediately at the circumferences 0f the coils aforesaid. A downward curve is then made in each arm, and the arms crossed, the arm on the right of the coils passing to the left of the arm on the left of the coils. A longer downward curve is then made in each arm below the point where they cross each other, and sharpened hooks are made on the end of each arm.
In the drawing, A is the O-shaped portion of the tongs, formed of three coils in the piece of metal, which is afterward bent abruptly in opposite directions at B B again bentinto opposed curves 0 (3, which form the upper and smaller portion F of a figure 8; again bent into longer opposed curves D D, which partially form the lower enlarged portion G of a figure 8; and, lastly, sharpened and bent into hooks Compression of the F portion causes expansion of the G portion of the tongs, to admit the block of ice between the hooks E E. Relaxation of the compression at F permits contraction at G, and the hooks E E clamp the block of ice. This device can be most easily operated with one hand.
Having thus described my improvement, What I claim as new and useful, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
As an article ofmanufacture, ice-tongs made from a single piece of elastic metal, bent so as to form the portions A, F, and G, the latter provided with sharp hooks E E, substantially as hereinbefore described, for the purpose set forth.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing improvement in ice-tongs, as above described, I have hereunto set my hand and seal.
