IMPROVEMENT IN SCOOPS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 206,011, dated J nly 16, 1878; application filed April 27, 1878.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, WILLIAM C. FREEMAN, of Louisiana, in the county of Pike and State of Missouri, have invented a new and Improved Scoop, of which the following is a specification The object of my invention is to furnish a strong, light, cheap, and conveniently-handled scoop for dealing tea, coffee, sugar, spices, and similar articles of merchandise, and which will not be liable to rust.
The invention consists in a scoop made of a semi-cylindrical bowl of steam-bent wood, glued and tacked in a circumferential rabbet on a concavo-convex circular head-piece, in which the handle is screwed and glued obliquely above the center in about axial line with the point of the scoop-bowl, the latter and the headpiece being further secured together by a metal strap on each side, and trimmed to the desired shape, as will be hereinafter described.
In the accompanying drawing, Figure 1 represents a perspective view of my improved scoop. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section of the same before the edges of the bowl and the upper edge of the head-piece are trimmed off after securing the bowl to the head-piece. Fig. 3 is a detail section of the same, showing the metal-strap fastening.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
A is the head-piece of the scoop, being .a round piece of wood, concav'e on the inner side and convex on the outside.
The circumferential surface of the headpiece A is turned down partly, so as to form a rabbet, a, around it at the forward edge for the attachment of the bowl B. This is made of a thin piece of wood, steamed and bent in the shape of a cylinder, of suitable diameter to fit in the rabbet a and surround the greater portion of the circumference of the headpiece A, to which it is fastened by glue, and by nails or tacks b, inserted from the outside and clinched on the inner concave surface of the head-piece A, whose concavity facilitates such clinching. The edges are then trimmed off along the dotted line b, Fig. 2, and the upper part of the head-piece A cut down, so as to leave the rabbet a and the rear edge of the scoop-bowl on about three-fourths of the circumference of the head-piece A, and cause the scoop to assume the shape shown in Fig. 1. Above the center line on either side the scoop-bowl B is further secured to the headpiece A, and the scoop strengthened by a metal strap or band, D, fastened by nails.
The wooden handle 0 is then secured to the scoop by threading and gluing its tenon c, and screwing it into a threaded hole made in the head-piece A above the center of the latter, at such an inclination that the axial line as a; of the handle (3, if extended,-will go through, or nearly through, the point of the,
scoop-bowl B.
By the inclined handle 0 the scoop is caused to balance better when filled, and the user has a better opportunity to grasp with his thumb over the top edge of the head-piece A, and press his forefinger against the back of the head-piece, which enables him to lift a much heavier load than he could do if. the handle were in the center of the piece A and parallel or in line with the axis of the bowl-cylinder.
By making the handle 0 and the head-piece A of separate pieces, secured together, a great saving in material is effected as compared with that used when making them in one piece.
I am aware that a scoop has been made of a metallic bowl, secured upon a wooden handle by crimping the edge of the metal into a groove in the wood, and I do not claim any such fastening; nor do I claim iron or other metals, which are much more expensive than wood, besides that they rust, (particularly when used to dip damp salt, sugar, &c.,) and discolor and spoil the goods, to which objections my wooden scoop is not liable.
Having thus described my invention, I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patcut- A wooden scoop consisting of the handlehead having rabbet, and the bowl secured in said rabbet by longitudinal straps, as shown and described, for the purpose specified.
WILLIAM CARROLL FREEMAN.
