BELT-AWL.
SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 289,009, dated November 27, 1883.
Application filed August 30, 1883.
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that we, GnnUnoEY M. LOTH- nor and HERBERT L. HEWINS, respectively of W'alpole and Sharon, in the county of Norfolk, State of Massachusetts, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Belt- Awls, of which the following is a description sufficiently full, clear, and exact to enable any person skilled in the art or science to which said invention appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which Figure l is a top plan View; Fig. 2-, a Vertical longitudinal section, and Fig. 3 a vertical transverse section.
Like letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the different figures of the drawings.
In mending or splicing rubber belts, and also leather belts when very spongy or elastie, the hole made by the awl is liable to close up as soon as the awl is withdrawn, thereby interfering with or preventing the insertion of the lacing and greatly delaying the work. It is also sometimes necessary to enlarge a hole after it is made by the awl, which cannot be readily accomplished where the stock of which the belt is composed is very stiff or hard.
Our invention is designed to obviate these difficulties; and to that end we make use of means which will be readily understood by all conversant with such matters from the following explanation, the extreme simplicity of the invention rendering an elaborate description unnecessary.
In the drawings,'A represents the body of the awl, and B the handle.
The'body, which is composed of steel or other suitable material, is long and tapering,
terminating in the sharp point :0. Two
grooves, m, arranged opposite each other, run nearly its entire length, and passing transversely through the body in these grooves are a series of countersunk holes or eyes, '0, the eye nearest the point a: being smallest, the others gradually increasing in size as they approach the handle. On one side of each of (No model.)
the grooves hi there is a cutting-edge, 2'', running the entire length of the groove, as best seen in Fig. 3.
In the use of our improvement the awl is forced through the belt, and before being withdrawn is threaded with the lacing, which is passed through the eye corresponding with its size, after which the awl is withdrawn, carrying the lacing with it through the belt.
It will be obvious that the awl maybe used in the ordinary manner or without threading the lacing into the holes, if desired. It will also be obvious that the lacing-holes in the belt may be permanently enlarged to any required size by means of the cuttingedges i. The lacing as it is drawn through the belt falls into the grooves m, and thus prevents the awl from wedging in the hole, the countersinks or inclines ll preventing the lacing from being injured as it passes through the belt. One groove, however, will answer for this purpose, unless the belt is made of very hard stock, and one cutting-edge i is suflicient in most cases for enlarging the hole as described, although two grooves and two cutting-edges arranged as shown are preferable.
We do not confine ourselves tb the use of any special number of holes o, as one or more may be employed, as desired; neither do we confine ourselves to the use of the cuttingedges 42 or countersinks Z, as these may be omitted, if preferred.
Having thus explained our invention, what we claim is- 1. A belt-awl provided with' a handle and series of holes adapted to receive lacings of difierent sizes, said holes being arranged substantially as specified.
2. A belt-awl having a handle, and provided with a countersunk hole or holes for the lacing, a groove or grooves, into which the lacing falls when drawn through the belt, and one or more cutting-edges for enlarging the awl-hole,substantially as shown and described.
