SNATH FOR SCYTHES Filed Nov. '50, 1946 INVENTOR. (/Ofl/V/M QUM/OR) Patented May 27, 1947 SNATH FOR SCYTHES John M. Quindry, Fairfield, Ill.
Application November 30, 1946, Serial No.
4 Claims.
This invention relates to a snath for securing a scythe blade in position on the end of its operating handle, and one of the objects of the invention is to provide a sleeve or tube with a clamping bolt for securing the tang of the scythe blade, and an internally movable wedge for developing pressure on the clamping bolt.
With the above and other objects in view, the invention comprises certain new and useful constructions, combinations and arrangements of parts, clearly described in the following specification, and fully illustrated in the drawings, in which- Fig. 1 is a side elevation of the combined scythe, snath and handle, showing the outer end of the clamping bolt.
Fig. 2 is a fragmentary side elevation, showing the tang of the scythe blade and the clamping bolt on the holding tube.
Fig. 3 is another showing the edge of section.
Fig. 4 is an enlarged end view thereof.
Fig. 5 is a cross sectional view, taken through line 5-5 of Fig. 1, looking in the direction of the arrows.
Fig. 6 is a perspective view showing the adjustable wedge and the stationary pull cross bar, enlarged.
Referring to the drawings, which illustrate the practical embodiment of the invention, 5 designates a socket tube or pipe, which may be constructed of metal, and which is formed with a flat seat 6 on one side thereof.
The forward end of the wood or other handle 1 is secured in the upper end of the socket tube or pipe 5 by means of the cross bolt 8. Inwardly of this handle a U-shaped cross bar 9 is secured to the socket tube or pipe by means of the cross bolt Ill.
The inner end of a bolt intermediate section 9a of the cross bar 9, and is provided on its inner end with a head l2, which engages the side of the intermediate section 9a of said cross bar, to prevent movement of the bolt through the cross bar.
The other end of the bolt ll extends outwardly of the socket tube or pipe and is engaged by the wedge 13, which is slidable thereon. This wedge has pressure engagement with the metal bolt or clamping rin M, which is slidable through the wall of the socket tube or pipe 5, and whichis fragmentary side elevation, the scythe blade, partly in l I extends through the formed with a flat inner section or gage the bottom side of the wedge flat upper side or section l5 of the scythe blade IS.
The tang I5 is disposed against the flat upper seat 6 of the socket tube or pipe, and the flat upper side of the wedge 13 is engaged with the reinforcing plate 11, which is secured to the underside of the seat 6.
In this position the nose of the wedge I3 is in pressure engagement with the bolting ring 14, and pressure may be increased or decreased by means of the nut 18, which is threaded on the outer end of the bolt l I against the rear and wider end of the wedge l3.
By forcing the wedge inwardly the tang l5 of the scythe blade will be clamped against the seat 6, and the scythe may be used fo cutting grain or other field stalks in the usual manner. By releasing the nut l8 the wedge will be allowed to move rearwardly so as to release the bolting ring from clamping pressure engagement with the tang l5, when the scythe blade may be withdrawn.
It is understood that various changes in the details of construction, their combination and arrangement of parts, may be made in carrying out the invention, as defined in the claims hereof.
Havin described the invention, I claim as new:
1. In combination, a socket tube having a handle secured to one end thereof, a bolting ring sliding through the tube, a wedge disposed in the tube and engaging the bolting ring, a scythe blade having a tang seated on the tube and engaged by the bolting ring, and means for developing pressure between the wedge and the bolting ring to clamp the blade tang aga'nst the tube.
2. In combination, a socket tube having a tang seat on end side thereof, a bolting ring slidable through the tube to clamp a blade tang on said seat, a cross rod secured in the tube, a bolt extending through the cross rod, a wedge slidable on the bolt to engage the bolting ring, and a nut threaded on the bolt against the wedge to increase the pressure of the wedge against the bolting ring.
3. The construction set forth in claim 2, including a plate secured to the inner side of said seat engageable by said wedge.
4. The construction set forth in claim 2, including a U-shaped cross rod secured to the wall of the socket tube,
side M0. to enl3, and with a Mb to engage the tang JOHN M. QUIN'DRY.
