N. BOWEN OLARKSON, OF GOURDINS DEPOT, ASSIGNOR TO HIMSELF AND S. S. FRASER, OF GEORGETOWN, SOUTH OAROLlNA.
IMPROVEMENT IN TURPENTlNE-HACKS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 129,933, dated July 30, 1872.
Specification of an Improved Turpentine- Hack, invented by N. BOWEN OLARKSON, of
Gourdins Depot, in the county of Williamsburg, State of South Carolina.
The invention consists-in fitting the knife in the stock so as to be readily attached thereto and removable therefrom for grinding, repair, or the substitution of another knife; also, in the mode of forming the stock.
1n the drawing, Figure 1 is a perspective view of the tool. Fig. 2 is a view of the tool destitute of the handle, a section being made on the line ac .00, Fig. 3.- Fig. 3 is a View of the stock without the handle, and showing the curved slot in which the tang of the knife slips.
0. is the stock, having one or two ferrules, m m, to receive the handle b, which is secured therein by driving through in the manner or a-mattock, or by wedgin g the end in the larger The sleeve portion of the stock is preferablymade long so as to give a firm bearing for the handle therein. 0 is an arm of the stock, having a bent form, as clearly seen in Fig. 3, and a slot, in which the tang d of the knife E is slipped. A set-screw, g, fastens the knife in position. The knife has a scoop-shaped edge, and is used for making incisions in pine trees to allow the turpentine to exude; This is technically called hacking, and may be done by an ax, but the hack is better.
My improvement specially consists in making the blade detachable-and adjustable, so that it may be more easily made, sharpened, tempered, repaired, and replaced.
A man who breaks the ordinary hack while I at work in the woods, at a distance from home,
I do not desire to confine myself to this particular mode of securing the blade to the stock.
The stock or body of the hack has rings or eyes, or may have a tubular sleeve for the handle. The usual mode of fixing the hack to the handle is to give a long tang to the stock, lay it along a groove in the handle, and then clinch it fast by a ring in the same mannor that the heel-ring fastens the heel of a scythe to a snath. My mode of securing the handle to the stock is more secure than the one just stated, and saves the annoyance incident to the rattling of the hack on the handle after using awhile.
Claims.
I claim as my invention 1. The hack having a removable blade, for the purpose described. v
2. The arrangement of the stock a c wit ferrules, one or more, for receiving the ban dle, substantially as shown and described.
