IMPROVEMENT IN CURRV-COIVIBS.
Speoilication forming part of Letters Patent No. 145,891. dated December 23, 1873; application filed v 4 June 10, 1873.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, SIDNEY A. MonToN, of Wadesborough, in the county of Anson and State of North Carolina, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Curry- Combs, and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanyin g drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
The nature of my invention consists in the construction and arrangement of a curry-comb, as will be hereinafter more fully set forth.
In order to enable others skilled in the art to which my invention appertains to make and use the same, I will now proceed to describe its construction and operation, referring' to the annexed drawing, which represents a perspective view of my curry-comb.
A represents the handle, which is made of wood, turned and bored through the center forthe passage of iron rods a a, said rods being passed through the handle and fastened at the end thereof by being riveted over a burr or circular plate of suitable metal. At the other end of the handle A the rods a a are bent outward in opposite directions, and
` then forward again. The rods are then passed through a series of toothed plates, B B, turned blocks C C, and a strengtheningbar, D, and the ends of the rods riveted or otherwise fastened over the strengthening-bar. This strengthening-bar l) projects about half an inch beyond the ends ofthe toothed bars, and is about half the width of the last toothed bar yof the series, and the ends b b of the bar D furnish a means for cleaning the comb from dirt and dust, by striking the ends, or either of them, against some hard substance and jarring the comb. The reds a a extend through the handle and through each plate, B and E, and each block C and the bar D. Thus, by the rods alone, the handle, plates, blocks, and bar are securely bound together from one end of the implement to the other.
The plates B B may be made of iron, steel, brass, or other suitable material, and have teeth formed upon both edges, as shown, and
have also holes punched through them for the passage of the rods a a. These plates gradu ally decrease in width from the handle out-v ward, making a regular taper when put together.
It will be observed that by this peculiar ar rangement of plates a greater pressure is brought to bear upon the first one, which gradually decreases outward, the effect being that, while the wide plate will rake up and loosen the dirt upon the animal, the others follow in quick succession with diminishing pressure, not only effectually removing the loosened hair and dirt, but also imparting a more agreeable sensation to the animal while undergoing the process of currying.
The turned and bored blocks of wood C C are of such length as to keep thel toothed plates a proper distance apart when fastened together.
lhe instrument is put together by first slipping the widest toothed plate B on the rods or wires a a then one of the wooden blocks C on each ofthe rods down against the plate; then the next plate in width; then two blocks, and so on until all are on, when the strengthening plate or bar D is slipped on in like manner and pressed against the-last toothed plate, when the ends ofthe rods are fastened, as above described, holding the Vwhole together. p
The plates may be of any suitable material,
and any number desired may be used, accorde' ing to quality of comb; and, instead of two small wooden blocks between the toothed plates, a piece of wood the length of the plate and bored through laterally may be used, when it is desired to close all or parts of the space between the plates.
' Blank plates, as shown at E, may be placed between the toothed plates, if so desired, and the toothed plates may be either straight or oval.
The comb thus made is simple of construeL tion, strong, and forms, in fact, two currycombs, which may be made one coarse and one ne.
Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
The currycomb herein described, consisting of theseries of plates B 0f gradually-decrea-smy own I nfx my signature in presence of ing Width, the rods a a, and bar D, the rods two Witnesses. eXtendnO thronwh the handle plates and j Y blocks7 bnding J'Elle parts secuely togethe7 SIDNEY A MORTON' all constructed and arranged as and for the Witnesses: vpurpose specified. W. O. ROSE,
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as J. T. IIORNE.
