MARTIN H. FRANK, OF JERSEY CITY, J ASSIGNOR OF PART OF HIS RIGHT TO TIMOTHY MULGAHY AND EDWARD OBRIEN, OF SAME PLACE.
IMPROVEMENT IN NAIL-EXTRACTO RS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 178,053, dated May 30, 1876; application filed April 3, 1876.
To all whom it may concern: 7
Be it known that I, MARTIN H. FRANK, of Jersey City, 'in the county of Hudson and State of New Jersey, have invented a certain Improvement in Grow-Bars, of which the following is a specification:
y This invention relates more especially to that kind of crow-bars which are used for extracting railroad-spikes or large nails; and it consists in the combination of a crow-foot with a bar having a toe formed on it, said crow-foot being attached to the lower end of the bar by means of a swivel, While the toe is formed on the bar near the swivel.
Figure 1 is a plan of a crow-bar constructed according to my invention. Fig. 2 is a side view of the same, partly in section, and-showin g the toe in two positions.
A is the bar, the upper end of which is formed in the-ordinary way,w' h'ile its lower end is bored out longitudinally a certain depth, to receive the shank of the crow-foot B. The shank D, formed at one end of said crow-foot, is made to fit the hole in the lower end of the bar A, so that the former can turn freely within the bar. Tou keep the crow-foot from coming out of the bar, a pin, a, is passed, transversely through the bar, so that said pin will enter a circular groove, 1), made around the shank D. The other end of the crow-foot is made in the ordinary form. E is the toe formed near the lower end of the bar, projecting from the latter at an angle, and is. made for the purpose of serving as a fulcrum for a lever of the first order.
The operation of extracting spikes or large nails'by a crow-bar thus constructed is as follows: The crow-foot is first passed under the head of the spike or nail, while the bar is in a position that the toe E projects upward, as
shown in full lines in both figures, tillthe spike or nail is started, when the bar is turned I so that the toe E projects downward, as shown in dotted lines in Fig 2, thus forming a fulcrow-foot B, of the bar A and toe E, substantially as and for the purpose herein described.
, MARTIN H. FRANK.
