IMPROVEMENT IN HOG-TONGS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 145.105, dated December 2, 1873; application filed November 10, 1873.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, HUGH W. HILL, of Decatur, in the county of Macon and State of Il linois, have invented an Improvement in Hog- Tongs, of which the following is a specification:
The object of my invention is to construct a pair of tongs to hold a hog whileringing or snouting it; and consists in forming the upper jaw of the tongs concave, so as to embrace the superior maxillary of the hog, and the lower jaw of the tongs is provided with a knob that goes between the ramii of the inferior maxillary, immediately behind the symphisis, to prevent the tongs slipping from the hogs snout. Figure l is a plan of a pair of tongs embodying my invention, with the jaws closed; Fig. 2, the same with the jaws open;- and Fig. 3 a section on the dotted lines as m, Fig. 1.
A represents the upper jaw of the tongs, which is concave, the inner side of which is rounded to prevent it from cutting the hogs nose; B, the lower jaw of the tongs, provided with the knob G. These jaws are pivoted at c and have handles a b.
The tongs are operated as follows, viz: The tongs are opened, as shown in Fig.2, and placed at .the side and over the hogs nose, the upper jaw, A, fitting over the superior maxillary and the lower jaw B under the inferior maxillary, the knob 0 between the ramii, immediately behind the symphisis.
The knob prevents the tongs slipping from the hogs nose when the jaws are closed, as shown in Fig. l. g
I claim as my invention- 1. The knob 0 in a pair of hog-tongs, substantially as described.
2. The knob (J,iu combination with the jaws B and A, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
Witnesses: HUGH W. HILL.
