GEORGE E. BALDWIN, OF WEST MERIDEN, CONNECTICUT.
IMPROVEMENT IN ADJUSTABLE WORM ERS FOR RAMRODS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 23,223, dated March 15, 1859.
T0 (122) whom it may concern:
Be it known that .I, Gnoeen E. BALDWIN, of \Vest Mcrideu, in the county of New Haven and State of Connecticut, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in the Manufacture of \Vormers for Ramrods; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the construction and operation of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, maliing a part of this specification, in which Figure 1 represents aview of a ram rod with all the parts connected with the wormer in place. Fig. 2 represents a longitudinal section through the ramrod, leaving the wormer and its screw-shank uncut or in full.
Similar letters of reference, where they occur in the separate figures, denote like parts in both.
My invention relates to a wormer for a rain rod as an entire new article of manufacture, and not hitherto known or in use,which wormer is capable of being adjusted on the rod, so as to make the whole ram rod shorter or longer, and thus produce an implement which is very desirable and perfect within itself.
To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invent-ion, I will proceed to describe the same with reference to the drawings.
A may represent the common wooden ramrod, and to the end of this rod is fitted a ferrule, B, which has a female screw-thread out in its interior. WVithin this ferrule or sleeve B the wormer O is screwed, said wormerha-ving a long screw-shank, G, for this purpose.
D and E are bosses or sleeves, with screwthreads cut in their interior parts, so that they will run on the male screw-thread on the shank of the wormer.
F is a ferrule closed at one of its ends, and also furnished on its interior with a screwthread, that will admit of its being run onto the shank of the wormer also. This latter ferrule is designed more for a shield or protecportant service when the wormer is not in useviz., shielding it from injury. 7
It will be seen that by this construction of a ramrod and wormer, the ramrod can be shortened or lengthened, at pleasure, to the extent of the length of the ferrule or sleeve B, whatever that may be, as it can run through it from end to end, but must always extend into it fareuough to give it firm hold therein.
The purpose of the sleeves D E is to hold ThQ WOIlIlQI at its adjusted position, so that it shall not unscrew itself from the ferrule B.
To lengthen the ramrod, the tip F is first removed, and the wormer, with the sleeves D E on it, can be screwed out to the proper length, and then the sleeves are run down tight against the ferrule B, and it may be necessary, probably, to pass a small steel pin through the hole (shown in Fig. 2) in the wormer, either to hold it from or to turn it with, as occasion may require.
'lo shorten the rainrod, the sleeves D E are run up on the shank of the wormer, and then the wormer is screwed into the ferrule B, the sleeves serving as jam nuts to hold the wormer in its adjusted position.
The object of the two sleeves is that they cover the screwshank better than one would do, for when the wormer is run far up into the ferrule B one of the sleeves is not used,
the tip F covering up the point of the screw; but when the wormer is run out to its greatest extent, then both sleeves and the tip are required to cover it.
The advantages of such an adjustable wormer are so obvious as not to require special enumeration.
Having thus fully described the nature and object of my invention, what I claim as a new article of manufacture is- A wormer that can be run out of or into a ferrule on the end of a rainrod, so that the ramrod can be practically shortened or lengthened at pleasure, as herein represented.
GEORGE E. BALD\VIN.
