IMPROVEMENT IN HORSE-SCRAPERS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 209,360, dated October 29, 1878 application filed August 24, 1878.
.To au whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, TEoMAs W. RoUNDs and Tiroir/ls L. REED, both of the city and county of Providence, iu the State of Rhode Island, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Horse-Scrapers, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, making part thereof.
Thisiiivention is an improvement on the well-known scraper made of hoop-iron, a strip of sheet metal, or wood; and its object is to provide a cheap, efficient, healthful, and d urable implement for currying and cleaning horses or other animals; and consists in the combination of astrip of sheet metal or other suitable iiexible material as a base, with a covering or edge-binding of vulcanized indiarubber, secured upon the base in any conven-V ient manner, as will hereinafter more fully appear. u
Figure l is a perspective view of our nnproved scraper complete; Fig. 2, a transverse sectional view-of the same; Fig. 3, an elevation and halflongitudinal section g Fig. 4, an
elevation, showing the inode of fastening rubber edges with rivets; Fig. 5, a transverse section of fthe same; and Fig. 6, a perspective view, showing the ,manner of using the scraper.
The ordinary scraper having a metallic edge is objectionable, especially those made of brass or composition, being harsh and poisonous, and liable to produce sores, and in the hands of an unskilled groom otherwise to injure the animal; and thosemade 0f steel or iron, &c.,
are exposed to oxidation, and consequent weakening and roughening of -the edges, which speedily render them worthless.
By our invention the edges are covered with rubber, which is softer and more natural, and yields sufficiently to prevent injury to the am.
` mal, and also shapes itself to irregular surfaces, besides shielding the metallic portion from injury on account of dampness.
Ais the base or central body of the scraper, preferably ymade of a narrow band of sheet metal, and provided with a suitable handle, 13 at each end. Gis the covering of indiarubber, which may be applied over the whole surface of the body A, or upon the edges merely, as indicated in the drawings, Fig. 2.
Any suitable means of permanently uniting the parts may be adopter Thus, the rubber may be formed as a flat sleeve, and be drawn on or over the base endwise and cemented;`
or it may be cut from sheet-rubber, wrapped around the body, or folded over the edges, and cemented or riveted in position. We, however, prefer to cover the base with rubber compound in the raw state, and vulcanize it thereon, by which process We secure a more perfect union of the parts and a better finish, with comparatively slight expense.
The sheet-metal base should be4 thoroughly l cleaned, and may be roughened by corrosive acids, in order that the rubbermay adhere more perfectly thereto; and it may even be perforatedl at intervals, as illustratcdlin Fig. 3, so that the rubber on the opposite sides may unite through the perforations.
The method of compounding and the process of vulcanizing the rubber are too Well known in the art to require description,
The edges of the scraper may be made smooth, serrated, or corrugated, as desired.
In the operation, this improved scraper,
covered with rubber, produces a circulation
