JOSEPH SUDEK, JR, ,OF EAST EATER/SON, NEW JERSEY Application -fi1ed 1 1'ovember 2, 1927. Serial No. 230,479.

This invention relates to what: are known as hawks, and particularly to deviceslof this class-.used'rby masons in plastering and other masonry; .and the object of :the invention is to provide ahawk of=the class specified, which byreason of itsconstructionmay be knocked down to form acomparatively small package, and to materially reduce the dimensions of-thetool'; a furtherobject being :to provide a tool of thecla-ss-specified, which is composed of'aplurality ofsheetametal parts with means for quickly coupling and uncoupling said parts; a'further-object being to provide one of the parts of the tool with handle member retained'again'st displacement from saidpart but movable'relati-vely thereto in securing the separate parts of the tool together and-in compactly folding: said :parts for shipment or packing in atool kitorsothercontainer; a further object being to provide means .in-

volving part of .the handle construction for securing and retaining the separate parts of the tool together in an operative position and with these"v and. other. obj ects in view, :the inventionconsists in. a devlceof the-class;and for :the' purpose speclfied, which issnnplein construction, efiicient in use, and which is constructed as hereinafter described and claimed. The invention iswfully; disclosed in the following specification, of which the accompanyingzdrawing forms a part, in which the separate vparts of my {improvement are des-' ignated by suitable reference characters in each ofthe views, and in which:

Fig.4 isa plan view of one part of theitool-i construct 213118 mainbody portion of my inn proved hawk from two similar plate menu-- bers 10 and 11, both of Which are oblongin .50 form and are provided on ;theirad acent edges, when placedtogether side by side, substantially centrally of theadj acentsi-de-walls with

rectangular recesses

12 and 13 "formed bypressing the metal of the plates 10 and 1 1 downwardly- The bottom wallso f the-

recesses

12 and 18 are provided withapertures I l-and 15 toreceive the fla n'ged ends 16 ofa lock and coupling bar 17 which serves to couple the plates 10 and '11 together.

The bar 17 carries centrally thereof a of a rod' 2 1 havi'ng spacedthreadedfportions 22 and23forming on said mi-betweensaid threaded port-ions, a blank or 'non thread'e'd portion 2a, for the .purpose 'la'ter described.

It willibe noted .thatthe .bar :1? fits snugly in the recesses 12 .and i13 and with-the upper face of said bar -'flush with the corresponding face of=theplates 1O and 11, thus presenting' a smooth and unobstructed top face to the 'bodyiof the hawk, riveted, Welded or otherwise secured to the lower face of the

plates

10 and 11 adjacent the .sideYed-ges 25 and26, and-also adi'acent the abutting side edges of each of .said plates are flange'rstrips 2.7.ii1t0 which the side edges of a mounting and reinforcing plate 28 are adapted :to :be so.

placed. The mounting plate 28 is arranged longitudinally of the abutting edges of the plates 10 and 1:1 and extends equidistance onto theplower face of said: plates and is .pro

, vided centrally' with azdepressedportion 29' 85.2

to receive the depress-ions .on the

plates

10 and 11 formed by the recesses 12 and '13; Saidwdepressed portion 29 is provided cen trally with an aperture through which thepi-n 'l8eis free to pass as-Wellas tl18zl'0d 21.

With this construction, it will beuapparen-t' thatthe plates :10 and :11 are retained against lateral displacementon the mounting plate 28Eby reasonofthe flange strips-2? employed.

Theparts are retained incoupled position begmeans of a handle 1Tl6111b81"31 having a bore 32 extending centrally therethrough, and inf-which is fixed a threaded collar or sl'eeve'33 heldbin'theudesired posit-ion of adjustinentiby a-set screw 3.4; threaded 10o face of the mounting plate 28 or the depression 29 thereof. Likewise, the lock and coupling bar 17 will be drawn

intothe recesses

12 and 13 with the flanges 16 of said bar entering the

apertures

14 and 15, and the parts will thus be firmly coupled together. In this position, the threaded portion 22 of the rod 21 is in engagement with the collar 33.

To dissect the parts, the handle member'31 is rotated on the rod 21, or said handle member may be held in the hand with the

plates

10 and 11 directed downwardly, and said plates as a unit spun around or with reference to the fixed handle member until the threaded portion 22 disengages the threaded sleeve 33, at which time, the body of the tool together with the bar 17, pin 18 and rod 21 will drop with reference to the handle member by virtue of the unthreaded or blank portion 2'4 on said rod until the threaded portion 23 engages the sleeve 33. In this position, the yoke end 20 of the rod 21 extends beyond the upper end of the handle 'member 21, and permits the handle member to be swung into position at right angles to the pin 18 as indicated in dotted lines in Fig. 2 or into a position in parallel relation to the mounting plate 28. It will also be understood that the lock bar 17 may be disengaged from the

recesses

12 and 13, and the

plates

10 and 11 dissected from the mounting plate 28 to permit of the compact packing of the complete tool.

It will be understood that the non-threaded portion 24 providesfor a quick coupling and uncoupling of the parts and the threaded portion 23 operates to prevent dissection or uncoupling of the handle member and lock bar with reference to the mounting plate, but if it should be desired to do so, the handle member member may be detached from the rod 21 by rotating the same thereon until the threaded portion 23 is free from the collar 33. In Figs. 5 and 6 of the drawing, I have shown a slight modification, wherein the

plates

10 and 11 are directly coupled with the mounting plate 28 by providing the plate 28 at spaced'intervals and adjacent the corner portions thereofwith key hole apertures to receive headed rivets 36 on the

plates

10 and 11, and arranged in such position that the heads of the rivets will pass through the large portions 37 of the apertures 35 and theshanks will enter the smaller portions 38 of said apertures, and when in the latter positions, the

plates

10 and 11 will be in proper alinernent. With this construction, it will be apparent that the movement of the

plates

10 and 11 longitudinally of the mounting plate 28 is es sential, and accordingly, the depression 29 of the mounting plate 28 is made larger to permit the movement of the depressions 39 on the

plates

10 and 11 within the depression 29. The recesses 40 formed by the depressions 39 on the adjacent edge faces of the

plates

10 and 11 are not provided with the apertures Y14 and 15, and the lock bar 17 a is not provided with the flanges 16. Otherwise, the bar 17 and the parts coupled therewith are identical to the structure shown in Figs. 1 to 4 inclusive. In other words, with the construction shown in Figs. 5 and 6, the rivets 36 in themselves are suflicient to

keythe plates

10 and 11 to the mounting plate 28, and the lock bar 17 will clamp the parts together in this position,

and also act as a key for properly alining the parts and retaining the outer faces thereof in flush relation.

It will be understood that the parts of the tool shown in Figs. 5 and 6 are detachable in I claim'as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is r 1. A tool of the class described comprising a mounting plate, a handle member on said. plate, and a body portion consisting of a plurality of detachably coupled plates adapted to be mounted on said mounting plate in an edge to edge relation, said mounting plate ex tending longitudinally of and supporting the adjacent edges of said plates 'toform when said plates are coupledtogether, a large bod portion having a flush outer face.
