EDWARD H. PLUNKETT, OF GEBO, WYOMING.
PLASTERERS FLOAT.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Mar. 25, 1919.
Application filed November 27, 1918. Serial No. 264,361.
To all whom 'it may concern:
Be it known that I, EDWARD H. PLUNKETT, a citizen of the United States, residing at Geloo, in the county of Hot Springs, State of l/Vyoming, have invented a new and useful Plasterers Float; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and
provide a device of this character which is x comparatively simple and inexpensive in its construction, which can be handled and used in the same manner as the conventional plasterers float, and which eliminates the annoyances and delays which are usually incident to replacing tlie carpet covering whereby the latter is secured in position by tacks. Y
Vith these and 4other objects in view, the invention consists in certain novel combiations and arrangements of the parts as will more fully appear as the description proceeds, the novel features thereof being pointed out in the appended claims.
For a full understanding of the invention, reference is to be had to the following description and accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a side elevation of a plasterers float constructed in accordance with the invention.
Fig. 2 is a perspective view on a reduced scale, showing the parts separated.
Fig. 3 is a sectional view through the lower plate, showing the fastening members for securing the edges of the carpet in position, portions being broken away.
Fig. 4 is an enlarged sectional view through one of the corners of the plasterers float, showing the corner fastening member.
Fig. 5 is an enlarged top plan view of one of the sleeves which are screwed into the lower plate.
Corresponding and like parts are referred to in the following description and indicated in all the views of the drawings by the same reference characters.
Referring to the drawings, which illustrate one embodiment of the invention, the numeral 1 designates the upper board or `plate to which the handle 2 is applied, and B the lower plate which may be formed of any suitable material, although some light metal such as aluminum is preferred. These plates have an elongated rectangular formation and the upper plate 1 is preferably slightly smaller than the lower plate 3. The corners of the lower plate 3 have sleeves 4 threaded therein, the upper ends 4a of the sleeves projecting above the surface of the plate and formed with flattened sides adapted to be engaged by a wrench or other tool when placing the sockets in position or removing them therefrom. A stop flange 5 is formed upon each of the sockets or sleeves 4 and when the sockets are in position the upper surface of each flange is substantially flush with the upper surfare of the plate.
A flexible covering 6 of carpet or other suitable material is fitted over the lower surface of the plate 3, the corners of the covering being notched at 7 to provide flaps 61 which fold around the sides and ends of the plate 3. These flaps 6a are provided with eyelets 8 which are adapted to be fitted upon the projecting ends 4 of the sockets 4 when the carpet covering is stretched in position over the face of the plate. The lower threaded enos 9a of the retaining screws 9 are then fitted in the sockets 4 and the eyelets 8 firmly clamped in position between flangcs 10 of the retaining screws 9 and the flanges 5 of the sockets. The upper ends of the retaining screws 9 may be formed with kerfs 11 so that a screw driver can be employed for inserting the screws in position or removing them therefrom. The upper plate 1 is provided at its corners with openings 12 which receive the upper ends of the retaining screws 9. The upper ends of these screws are threaded at 9b and receive clamping nuts 14 which clamp the upper plate l firmly in position. The carpet covering or fabric covering 6 is securely clamped in position, although it will be obvious that it can be quickly removed and replaced whenever necessary without the annoyance and loss of time which is incident to replacing a cover which is held in position in the usual manner by the use of tacks or nails. The float can be handled and used in the usual manner, and the carpetor fabric dition owing to the fact that `when worn .it
may be removed and replaced without ditti culty by merely Viinscrewing the ,clamping 1 nuts and removing the retaining screws.
Having thus described the invention what I: claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1V. A plasterers float including an upper plate, a lower` plate, a handle applied to the upper plate, a fabric cover stretched across the lower plate and formedA with iiaps which are stretched around the plate and provided with eyelets, retaining screws eXtending through the eyelets to hold the cover in position, and nuts threaded'upon the retaining screws forY cooperation therewith to clamp the upper plate against thelower plate.
2. Aplast'erersfiioat including an upper plate,fa lower plate, a handle applied Vto the upper plate, a'fabric cover'stretchedA over the lower plate and formed with flaps folded around the saine and terminating in eyelets, Sokets applied to thelower plate and pro'- jecting therefrom to engage the eyelets, a double ended retaining screw threaded in the sockets and also extending through the upper plate, and clamping nuts applied to the retaining screws to clamp the upper plate in position. Y
3. A plasterers float including anupper plate, a lower plate, a handle applied to the upper ,pla-te, a fabric cover stretchedover the lower plateiand formed with flaps which are .folded aroundV the saine and provided 2c-pies of this patent may be obtained forl vecents eacrcby addressing the ,Commissioner of`Patents,
` Washingtomllfc." Y g Y 4. A plasterers float including an Vupper` plate, a lower plate, a handle applied tothe upper plate, a fabric cover stretched over the lower plat-eV and formed with iiaps which are folded around the lower plate and pro- `vided witheyelets, anged sockets fitted in Y. y. the lower plate and projectingbeyond the same to engage the eyelets, double ended rter taining screws having the lower ends` thereof threaded in the sockets, said retaining screws being formed with iianges which Vcooperate with the flanges of the sockets to clamp the Y eyelets and the upper ends of .the screws extending through the upper plate, and
clamping nuts threaded on the upper ends g of the screws to sition. Y f Y Y Y In testimonyV whereof I have signed my naine-to this specification in the two subscribing Witnesses. Y Y Y EDWARD H.`PL`UNKETT. Witnesses: Y V f GEORGE W. DALLY,
