Description

Dec. 1, 1942. w. F. RONALD SCYTHE Filed Dec. 9, 1940 Patented Dec. 1, 1942 'UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE SCYTHE William F. Ronald, Daytona Beach, Fla. Application December 9, 1940, Serial No. 369,328
3 Claims.
This invention relates to scythes and the particular object of the invention is to provide an improved and simplified. connection between the snath and the blade by means of which the angular adjustment of the blade with respect to the snath can be modified to suit the particular user and the peculiar circumstances of each job.
The object of the invention is to provide an improved and simplified adjustable connection between the scythe snath and blade.
The invention consists in the novel construction, arrangement and combinations of parts hereinafter more particularly specified and claimed.
In the drawing which accompanies this specification as part thereof and in which like reference characters indicate like parts throughout:
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the end of a scythe showing the blade in position.
Fig. 2 is a fragmentary front view of the blade end of a snath as illustrated in Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a fragmentary side view of the blade connection shown in Fig. 1.
Referring to the drawing, I indicates a snath of the usual form which is herein illustrated only at its blade attachment end, with which is associated a tubular collar 3 which serves the dual function of a ferrule and a blade attachment device, being provided on one side with an outer planar face 4. The blade 2 is provided at its snath end with a laterally offset projection 1 having an outer planar face and this offset is preferably associated with the blade proper 2 by reinforcement flanges 8.
On the outer face of the flange 1 are provided outwardly directed lugs 9 and the collar is provided with a through orifice 6 and a plurality of surrounding detents adapted toreceive the lugs.
9 with the blade set at selected angles with respect to the collar: A through bolt l0 secures the blade through lug l with the snath and collar 3, thus securely holding the blade inadjusted angular relationship to the snath.
Various modifications will readily suggest themselves to those skilled in the art but all within the scope of the present invention as claimed.
Having thus described my invention, 1 claim:
1. Scythe comprising a snath, a fitting having a longitudinal socket receiving the end of said snath and having an external lateral flat face, a blade having an end portion angularly offset to the plane of the blade, said end portion having an outer flat face cooperable with the fiat face of said fitting, a bolt passing through a central aperture in said ofiset portion perpendicular to said flat face and through said fitting and snath for securing said blade adjustably about the axis of said bolt with said flat faces in tight frictional surface contact, and means for positively holding said blade in selected adjusted positions comprising arcuate series of diametrically positioned holes on opposite sides of the axis of said bolt, in one of said faces and a pair of correspondingly placed projections from the other of said faces adapted to be selectively registered with any diametrically positioned pair of holes.
2. Scythe comprising a snath, a fitting having a longitudinal socket receiving the end of the snath and having an external lateral fiat face, a blade having an end portion angularly offset to the plane of the blade, said end portion having an outer fiat face cooperable with the fiat face of said fitting, a bolt passing through a central aperture in said offset end perpendicular to the flat face thereof, and through said fitting for securing said blade adiustably about the axis of said bolt with said fiat face in tight frictional surface contact, and means for positively holding said blade in selected positions of adjustment comprising arcuate series of diametrically positioned recesses on opposite sides of the axis of said bolt in one of said faces, and a pair of correspondingly placed projections from the other of said faces adapted to be selectively registered with any diametrically positioned pair of holes.
3. Scythe comprising a snath, a fitting secured to the end of the snath and having an external lateral flat face, a blade having an end portion angularly offset to the plane of the blade, said end portion having an outer fiat face cooperable with the fiat face of said fitting, a bolt passing through an aperture in said offset end perpendicular to the flat face thereof and through said fitting for securing said blade adjustably about the axis of said bolts with said fiat faces in tight frictional surface contact, and means for positively holding said blade in selected adjusted positions comprising arcuate series of diametrically positioned holes on opposite sides of the axis of said bolt, in one of said faces, and a pair of correspondingly placed projections from the other of said faces adapted to be selectively registered with any diametrically positioned pair of holes.
