lAdhlQ -i HILD'AM. ronssiinne, or BROOKLYN, new roan.
MANUAL TOOL.
Application filed October 3, 1921. Serial No. 504,915.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, HILDA M. Fonssnnne, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of of 618 Bergen Street, Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented certain new and usefullmprovements in Manual Tools, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to general utility tools of the class includingweeders, scrapers and scoops, but especially to that class wherein a preferred straight sided scoop is provided with an arcuate projecting nose terminating in a straight edge or a straight row of teeth.
The main object of this invention is to provide a tool of the mentioned character which is adapted to be used primarily as a convenient coal saver and sifter, and secondarily as a berry picker and also a garden weeder.
Other advantages and objects attained will become apparent as this specification proceeds.
In the accompanying drawing- Fig. 1 is a view of a tool embodying the present invention.
Fig. 2 is a side view of Fig. 1..
Fig. 3 is a reverse view of Fig. 1 with slight modifications. I
Fig. 4 is a modification of Fig. 1.
Fig. 5 is a sectional view of Fig. 2 on line 10-11.
There is a great need for a substitute for the human hand when recovering half burned coals in common kitchen stoves. It is with this end in view as well as the other objects mentioned, that the present invention has been designed. Incidentally the invention contemplates forming the tool so that it may be'easily cast or stamped in large quantities and furthermore be graceful and convenient to use.
Returning to the drawing, the tool plate or back 1 is rearwardly formed into a handle 4 having a hole 5 by which the tool may be hung up out of the way, and forwardly into a series of arcuate fingers 3, 3, 3, terininating in tips 3, 3', 3., The sides of the back 1 are formed into a pair of opposite parallel and relatively straightthumbs 6, (3 the so called fingers and thumbs being separated by spaces as at 2. The fingers 3, 3, 3
are not only arcuate in their longitudinal form, but are also arched in their transverse arrangement, in fact the whole tool is transversely arched throughout its entire length with the exception of the so called finger tips 3, 3, 3.
However, when making the tool out of a sheet stamping, the fingers are somewhat flexible, whereas rigidity is a desideratum. In order then to properly reinforce the fingers, several slight modifications in the form of webs as at 9 may unite the fingers, leaving closed slots 2, or larger webs as indi eated at 8, and 8 may together with smaller webs 7, 7 completely obscure the appearance of the fingers.
This will leave a plurality of perforations or apertures 7, 7, but will not alter the shape or usefulness of the tool in any de gree, especially not for coal salving.
When used for the latter purpose, the nose or tips 8, 3, 3, of the'fingers may first'be' forced down among the coals, and, with a steady drawing movement, the handle may be turned over,crolling the implement on its back in a plane in line with its fingers. if it is then lifted and lightly shaken from side to side all loose ashes and dirt will sift between the fingers, and the coals may subsequently be picked off.
It may be noted in regard to the fingers tips, that whether they are divided, or all united, to form a common straight edged nose, the result is still that the main bowl portion is slotted or perforate.
Having thusfully described my invention, I claim.
1. A manual tool comprising in combination a handle having a series of arcua-te fingers projecting therefrom to form a scoop, with a pair of opposite relatively straight fingers projecting on either side of said arc-uate fingers from said handle to a point on the outermost of said arcuate fingers within their free extremities.
2. A manual tool comprising a handle :provided with a series of arcuate fingers projecting therefrom toform a slotted scoop, a pairor opposite and relatively straight fingers projecting from the sides of said handle and joined at their forward extremities to the adjacent arcuate fingers at points within the extremities of the latter, and reinfoi'cing webs between all said arenate fingel-s.
3. A manual tool comprising in combination a perforate bowl provided at one extremity with a handle and at the other extremity with a series of forwardly projecting fingers continuing the arcuate form of said bowl.
Signed 113 686 Washington Ave, Brooklyn, N. Y., in the borough of Brooklyn, 10 county of Kings, city and State of New York, this 1st day of October, 1920.
