UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
HENRY E. VOSBURGH, OF AUBURN, NEW YORK, ASSIGNOR TO HIMSELF AN JOHN M. GANNIFF, OF SAME PLACE.
SNQW-SHOVEL.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 239,205, dated March 22, 1881.
Application filed September 21, 1880. (Model) To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, HENRY E. VosBUReH, of Auburn, in the county of Cayuga and State of New York, have invented a new and improved Sn0w-Shqvel, of which the following is a specification.
The object of my invention is to provide a new and improved snow-shovel which is simple in construction, light, and durable, and is stiffened in at theirear.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a side elevation of my improved snow-shovel without a protected front edge. Fig.2 is a side elevation of the same, showing the front edge formed of a steel strip held between iron straps. Fig. 3 is a plan View of the same. Fig. 4 is a side elevation of a shovel, with a modification of the wedge and of the front edge.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
The rear edge of the board A is split longitudinally, and a wedge, B, is inserted between the two layers 0 and 1) of woodformed by splitting the board, for the purpose of stiffening the board and forming a strong rest for the end of the handle. The lower layer, D, is cut off flush with the rear edge of the wedge B; but the upper layer is carried beyond the wcdge,as shown. The point of the handle E is passed into an aperture in the rear side of the wedge, and is secured to the upper layer, 0, of the board A by the screws F F, bolts, or rivets. The wedge B is held to the two layers by screws or rivets. If desired, the inclined surface of the wedge B may be curved, as shown in Fig. 4, the upper layer, 0, being curved likewise.- The handle E is attached in the same manner as described above. The front edge is formed of a steel bar, J, held in a longitudinal slot, and by rivets G G, as shown in Fig. 4, or between two iron straps, H H, also secured by rivets G G.
By attaching sides to' the shovel, a grain and corn shovel is obtained.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
A wooden shovel having at the rear an up per split piece, 0, raised by a wedge, B, on the end of the handle, and a lower split piece, D, cut off flush with the rear of the wedge, the raised piece (3 being secured to the wedge and handle, substantially as shown and described.
