Description
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
GYRENUS IS. HUNT, OF HARWIGH, MASSACHUSETTS.
IMPROVEMENTYIN TOOL-HANDLES.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 155,727, dated October 6, 1874; application tiled September 15, 1874.
.To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, GYRENUs S. HUNT, of Harwich, in the county of Barnstable, State of Massachusetts, have invented a certain nevir and useful Improvement in Tool-Handles, of which the following is a description sufficiently full, clear, and exact to enable any person skilled in the art or science to which my invention appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, forming a part of this speciiication, in Which- Figure lis a sectional side elevation, and Fig. 2 an end view, showing my improvement.
Like letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the different figures of the drawing.
. My invention relates more especially to that class of axes Which are used for Wood-chopping; and consists in a novel construction and arrangement of the parts, as hereinafter more fully set forth and claimed, by means of which the ax may be securely attached to the helve or handle, and readily detached therefrom, Withmuch greater ease and facility than by the means now in ordinary use.
It is Well known to all practical Woodchoppers and lumbermen that, when a choppingax is attached to the helve by the means most usually employed, the helve is very liable to be split and become loose, and that, When the ax is once firmly attached, it is very difficult to detach it Without destroying the helve entirely.
My invention is designed to obviate these difficulties; and to this end I construct the helve with a lateral slot and socket, and secure it in the ax by means of a draw-bolt and nut, as hereinafter described.
In the drawing, A is the helve or handle; H, a metallic guard or -re-enforce; I, the screw by which the guard is secured to the helve; D, the draw-bolt, having the globular head E, which lits in the socket or aperture F. A truss or head plate, C, having inclined sides, is itted in the outer end of the eye, which is dared to receive it." The draw-bolt D, Which extends through the plate G, has a at shank with a screw cut upon its outer end, and the slot in which it is tted is of such size as to prevent it from heilig turned or rotated in the helve When the nut G is turned on or off.
Y From the foregoing it Will be readily understood by all conversant with such matters that, to-attach the helve A tothe ax B, all that is necessary is to insert the bolt D in the slot in the end of the helve, place the plate C in position, pass the helve into the eye of the ax, and turn on the nut G.
In the construction of the ax, the eye from the inner side of the plate C to the opposite end, or that part nearest the screw I, is preferably made slightly tapering, the smallest part being nearest the plate, or so that the helve will Wedge, and be firmly held in position, by the action of nut and draw-bolt.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim is- The improved method of attaching axes to helves described, the same consisting of the draw-bolt D, provided with the head E, nut Gr, plate O, and helve A, provided with the lateral slot F, constructed and arranged to operate substantially as specified.
