DISSTON & SONS, INCORPORATED, PORATION OF PENNSYLVANIA.
OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA, A COR- SICKLE.
Application filed June 23, 1921.
To all to homit may concern Be it known that I, GEORGE L. RocERs, a citizen of the United States, residing in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, have invented certain Improvements in Sickles, of which the following is a specification.
The object of my invention is to improve the construction of a sickle, or grass hook, so that the blade is made detachable from the tang which is inserted in the handle.
In the accompanying drawings:
Fig. 1 is a plan view of a sickle illustrating my invention;
Fig. 2 is a detached perspective view showing a portion of the blade and tang attached;
Fig. 3 is a detached perspective view of the rear end of the blade;
Fig. 4 is a side view showing the joint between the blade and the tang; and
Fig. 5 is a longitudinal sectional view showing the joint between the blade and the tang.
Referring to the drawings, 2 is the blade of a sickle, which is made from a sheet of steel bent into shape and sharpened at one edge. At the rear end of this blade is a projection 3. Back of the projection is a perforation 4:. 5 is the tang, which is driven into a handle 6. This tang is bent to form a vertical portion 7 and a portion 8 against which the rear portion of the blade is fitted. The extreme end of the portion 8 is bent, as
Serial No. 479,835.
illustrated at 9, to form a socket for the rear end of the blade 2, as illustrated at 10, so as to allow the projection 3 to extend into the slot in order to hold the blade rigid, in addition to the bolt 11, which has a nut 12 and which firmly fastens the blade to the tang.
By this construction, it the blade should break it can be easily removed from the tang and handle and a new blade inserted.
When it is desired to provide a sickle with blades of various shapes and sizes, a set of blades can be used with a single tang section and handle.
By the above construction, it will be seen that the tang can be elevated any distance above the blade by lengthening or shortening the vertical portion 7 The tang can be arranged at any angle to accommodate the user.
I claim:
1. The combination in a sickle, of a blade; a U-shaped tang section; means for attaching one arm of the section to the blade; and a tang formed as an extension of the other arm.
2. The combination in a sickle, of a blade having a projection at the rear end and perforated; a tang bent and having a socket to receive the end of the blade, the projection on the blade passing into a slot in the tang; and a bolt securing the blade to the tang.
GEORGE L. ROGERS.
