When this angle comes Worn, the fulcrum can be easily taken out and replaced, so as to present one of the other angles or edges; also, when the second edge becomes Worn, it may again bechanged; and, in the event of all the angles becoming Worn, anew fulcrum can be substituted at a trifling expense.
The angles of the fulcrum may be either obtuse, rectangular, or acute.
The invention The one represented in the drawing hereto attached is an equilateral triangle.
111 the drawing hereunto attached, A represents the angular slot and steel fulcruin for which Letters Patent are asked; B B, the pinch-bar.
The benefits of this invention are claimed to facility with Which one angle or one fulcruin can be substituted for another.
pinch-bar is believed to be novel and useful.
What I claim as myinventioinand desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
