IMPROVEMENT IN DRAG-RAKE HANDLES.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 171,325, dated December 21, 1875; application filed April 5, 1875.
To all whom it may concern: 7 Be it' known that we, HUGH SMITH and WALTER GALBRAITH, 0f Passumpsic, State of Vermont, have in vented an Improved Drag- Rake Handle, of which the following is a specification:
This improved drag-rake handle isso constructed that it may be adjusted to the shortest or the tallest man, and enables him to choose any position he may like in raking.
This is accomplished without weakening the irons which join the handle to the head or any other essential part. i
The curved limbsr and s, Fig. l, are first turned and bent, then firmly fastened together at c with a rivet or ferrule, the ends of the limbs being scarfed so as to keep them in place. The two limbs are held firmly in place by .a malleable-iron clamp, Fig. 5. This clamp is composed of two parts, I) b and u a, each of which is represented by Figs. 5 and 7, b 1) applying on the top and u a from beneath. The two parts are then drawn together by a bolt passing through both at d. Thus, the limbs r and s are firmly grasped by the double clamps b u and b a. Upon this clamp, by the same bolt g, Fig. 4, which holds the clamp in place, is fastened the malleableiron handle represented by Fig. 6. This may be applied so as Thus the adjustment is partially provided for by applying the movable handle, Fig.6, at ei- .ther of the planes,"p or 0, which meet at an angle of about forty-five degrees. The adj ustment is further regulated by moving the clamp, Fig. 5, up and down the limbs, which may be done by simply loosening the nut of the bolt d,- and, wherever it is placed, when the nut is tightened, the handle is as firm as though it were a permanent fixture. The limbs, being only seven-eighths of an inch in diameter, readily give enough one way and the other to allow the clamp to slide back and forth for several inches.
We claim as our invention and desire to secure by Letters Pa'ten't- The adjustable clamp and handle, in combination with the limbs r s of the rake, asand' for the purposes set forth.
