UNITED STATES PATENT (DEEIGE.
JOHN WOODVILLE, OF WASHINGTON, INDIANA.
IMPROVEMENT iN LACKSMITHS TONGS.
YSpecification forming part of Letters Patent No. 129,506, dated July 16, 1872.
handle so contrived that, by shifting one section forward and back on the other, the part at the outer end to be taken in the hand for forcing the jaws together may be adjusted relatively to the other handle, as needed for holding thick or thin pieces between the jaws, all as hereinafter described.
Similar letters of reference indicate correspondin g parts.
The drawing is a perspective view of my improved tongs.
A andB are the jaws, which, as before stated,
lare so curved that they come together at the ends only. A is provided with a deep V- groove in its face from side to side, at right angles to the handles or parallel with the axis on which the jaws Work. It is also provided with one or more V-grooves or notches,'D, across the face, at right angles to O. The jawB is made narrower than A, and shuts into the groove O to gripe a rod or bar at right angles to the handles. It is also provided with transverse notches E, coinciding with D to act in connection with them in holding rods in the line of the handles or nearly so. The groove O is deep enough to allow jaw B to close down upon small rods heldin notches D E. As the jaws constructed on this plan have, necessarily, to have a greater range of movement in opening and closing than those of the ordinary construction, I have provided the short curved shank F of one of the jaws with a handle piece, G, sliding thereon by means of the clips H, to be shifted nearer to or further from handle I, to allow of holding the tongs by one hand while holding thick or thin pieces in the jaws. The said shank has notches K on the convex side, and one of the clips is formed into a kind of pawl-shaped construction at L, to be forced into the notches when the handles are pressed together to prevent it from sliding lengthwise on the shank F. A slight spring, M, is so combined with the clip and shank F as to keep this pawl in the notches, butit is easily lifted out when it is required to pull the handle G forward. A pin, N, prevents the clip from escaping off the handle.
Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patentl. The combination of the bifurcated and transversely-notched jaw A and the transversely-notched jaw B, when applied to handlevers and co-operatin g with one another, substantially as described.
2. The extension handle Gr, the clips H, spring M, and notched bar F, in combination, as and for the purpose specified.
