JOSIAH W. ELLS, OF PITTSBURG, PENNSYLVANIA, ASSIGNOR TO RICHARD E. BREED, OF SAME PLAGE.
HOE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 226,050, dated March 30, 1880.
Application filed December 1l 1879.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JOSIAH WV. ELLS, of Pittsburg, in the county of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and Improved Hoe, the construction of which will be readily understoodifrom the following description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, wherein- Figure 1 represents a thin plate or sheet of 1o metal, on which are delineated a series of blanks of the shape required in the formation of my improved hoe; Fig. 2, a single blank from which the hoe is made. Fig. 3 represents a perspective view of my improved hoe without the handle.
My invention relates to an implement known among agriculturists as a hoe, in which the blade, together with its shank or tang, is formed of a single piece of sheet metal.
To make hoes in accordance with my invention, I take a plain sheet of steel of any convenient length and of a width corresponding to the entire length of a freshly-cut blank, measuring from the cutting-edge of the blade 2 5 to the extreme end of the shank or tang.
From such plate or sheet of metal I sever the blanks after the manner shown by the diagrams in Fig. l, and in regular sequence but reverse order, whereby no metal is wasted in 3o the process of separation.l The blank thus produced consists of a broad portion, A, intended for the blade of the hoe, and a narrow part, B, for the shank, on each sido of which and near its point of connection with the 3 5 blade extends a pointed wing, c, as shown in Fig. 2. The blank is then to be made redhot, and while in that condition subjected to the joint action of such dies as will bend the extension B to a transverse curve or inverted 4o U shape its entire length and cause it to take the desired relative position at nearly right angles to the blade A, to the end that when the hoe is attached to the handle it may have the proper and requisite set. At the same time and by the same means the wings c c are folded iiatly down upon the face of the blade with their approximate edges brought closely together beneath the shank, substantially in the manner shown in Fig. 3, where they may be secured by a rivet, e, or by any other means 5o found in practice most suitable or convenient.
The dotted vertical and cross lines in Fig.
2 represent the direction or lines of bend the plate or blank undergoes in the process of final formation, and which bending can be accomplished without any strain or weakening of the metal.
In this hoe the shank B is supported by a solid portion of the blade equaling Onehalf of its entire width, while the wings c c are 6o folded on that peculiar angle with relation to each other and the blade, together with its shank or tang, as to re-enforce both and give the greatest possible strength to the parts consistent with the. nature of the material used, the whole making an implement simple.
in form and easily constructed.
Having thus briefly described my improved hoe, I claim- As a new article of manufacture, formed of 7o a single piece of metal, a hoe having an inverted U-shaped shank or tang, B, in combination with the side wings, c c, folded flatly and closely down upon the blade A, substantially in the manner shown and described.
JOSIAH W. ELLS.
