Description

A ril 13 ;1926. 1,5so,528
J. 8. PERKINS Patented Apr. 13, 1926.
UNITED STATES g V 1580523 PATENT OFFICE,
JAMES B. PERKINS, OF OAKLAND, CALIFORNIA.
TOOL.
Application filed June 28, 1921. Serial No. 481,130.
" fire to break out high up on a mountain side,
and in order for the forest rangers to reach it, they are compelled to pass through dense thickets of underbrush, over fallen timber and rough ground, and as the carrying of the old fashioned shovel, grub hoe and pick with their long and heavy handle greatly retard the progress of the rangers, they not infrequently reach the fire with no tools to combat the flames.
It is therefore to be considered the priinaryobject of the present invention to provide an axe designed to be carried in the belt of the ranger and having means whereby inplements, such as a shovel, pick and grub hoe, necessary in fighting forest fires, can be attached to the axe and also conveniently carried in the belt of the ranger.
The drawings illustrate a satisfactory embodiment of the invention reduced to practice. and in which Figure 1 is an elevation showing an axe having attached thereto a grub hoe.
Figure 2 is a sectional View through the axe head, in a line with the shank of the grub hoe.
Figures 3 and 4 are side elevations of the shovel and pick respectively.
Figure 5 is a view substantially similar to Figure 2, with the tool removed from the opening in the axe head.
Figure 6 is a view of a Wrench suitable for use with the tool.
In the successful fighting of forest fires, a shovel is needed for carrying soil or gravel for smothering the fire. A grub hoe is useful for trenching and diggng around the fire to prevent it from spreading or getting away, while a pick is useful for removing fences, posts, rails, ties, or piles of lumber or building that are on fire and are impossible to handle with the naked hands, while the axe is required for a nultiplicity of purposes. Therefore,-this combination of tools is indispensable in the successful fighting of forest fires.
Referring now to the drawings in detail, the numeral 1 designates an axe such as is connonly used by hunters and forest rangers. The helve or handle of the axe is of a con'paratively short length so that the same can be Conveniently carried in the belt of the ranger. Also the belt is provided with loops or compartnents for receivng therein a grub hoe 3, a pick 4 and a shovel 5. The shanks of all of these instruments are similarly constructed, and therefore, reference to one is to be considered as equally applicable to the remainder.
The axe head 1, inWard of the blunt end thereofois provided with a transverse open- *ing therethrough. The outer portion of this opening is squared, as at 6, the 'inner portion being rounded, as'at 7. The shank 8 of each of the implements has its inner portion squared, as at 9 and its outer portion rounded and threaded, as at 10. The shanks 8 are of a size to be snugly received in the opening in the axe head, the squared portion 9 of the said shanks being in contacting engagement with the squared walls 6 of the opening, the rounded and threaded portions 10 of the shanks passing through the rounded portions 7 of the opening, and
the said threaded portions are engaged by a nut 11 screWed thereon by a suitable wrench 12 which is also carried in a suitable compartment in the belt of the ranger.
Having described the invention, I claim: An axe having its head provided With a perforation extending in a direction parallel to the axis of the handle, the walls of said perforation being tapered inwardly from one end and merging intoa cylindrical bore, said perforation being adapted to receive tools including a grub hoe, a pick and a shovel, each having a threaded shank com- Elemental to the perforation and adapted to e Secured therein by a nut engaging the threaded end of said shank.
In testimony whereof I aflix my signa- .ture.
JAMES B. PERKINS.
