F. M. BILLINGS PICK HANDLE Filed March 9, 1927 ATTORN EY Patented Jan. 1, 1929.
METRE FTT PICK HANDLE.
Application filed March 9, 1927. Serial No. 174,001.
The object of this invention is the provision of a handle for picks having a substantially i'shaped socket enteringone side from the outer end thereof, the lower walls of which being inclined, a metal sleeve being arranged over the said end of the handle and covering the socket, and whereby a pick may have its eye receive the sleeve therethrough when arranged on the handle so that the pick may be employed in the usual manner, and fur ther whereby the pick may be removed from the sleeve and handle and have either of its points received in either of the passages of the T-shaped socket so that the pick will be ar ranged in longitudinal alignment with the handle and successfully employed as a post hole digger, a crow bar or a pinch bar.
The accompanying drawings illustrate a satisfactory embodiment of the improvement.
In the drawings:
Figure 1 is a side elevation of a pick in accordance with this invention.
Figure 2 is a view showing the pick arranged in the socket to permit of the device being employed as a post hole digger or pinch bar. I
Figure 3 is plan view of the construction as disclosed by Figure 2.
Figure d is a view showing the opposite point of the pick arranged in the socket of the handle to provide a crow or pinch bar.
Figure 5 is a sectional view approximately on the line 55 of Figure 2.
Figure 6 is an end View of the handle.
Figure 7 is a sectional view approximately 7 on the line 7-7 of Figure 6.
The wooden handle 1 of the improvement is of the usual construction, the same having its outer end flared outwardly in the usual manner, and over this flared portion I arrange a metal sleeve 2. The sleeve is, of course, flared to snugly engage the outer flared end of the handle and the said sleeve is riveted to the handle, as at 3. The outer and widened end of the sleeve 2 is formed with an outwardly directed continuous flange 4;.
The handle 1, at its flared end 5 is formed on one of its sides with a substantially T- shaped socket. The wider passage of this socket is indicated by the numeral 6 and the inner and narrow passage by the numeral 7. The lower walls of ch passage of the socket are inclined or flared upwardly, and the depth of the socket is greater than onehalf the length of either of the points 8 and 9 of the pick head. The eye portion 10 of the pick head is designed for wedging engagement with the socket 2 when the pick is arranged over the handle and employed in the usual manner. The eye 10 of the head preferably wedgingly engages with the sleeve 2 so that the outer end of the eye does not normally contact with the flange 4. JV hen the pick is removed from the sleeve either of its points 8 or 9 may be inserted in either of the passages 6 or 7 of the T-shaped socket to arrange the pick in longitudinal alignment with the handle 1, and the device may be thus employed as a post hole digger, as a crow bar or as a pinch bar and for other purposes.
The simplicity of the construction and the advantages thereof will, it is thought, be apparent and appreciated by those skilled in the art to which such invention relates.
Having described the invention, 1 claim A pick handle having an outwardly flared end portion, said handle being formed on one side with a longitudinally disposed slot of substantially T-shaped formation in cross section having its bottom and side walls tapered upwardly toward the inner end thereof, and adapted to receive the point of the pick and a metallic sleeve snugly embracing said handle and surrounding said slot closing the side thereof whereby said point engages said sleeve to prevent splitting of the handle when the tool is used as a crow bar.
' In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
FRANK M. BILLINGS.
