COMPOUND TOOL.
No. 418,541. Patented Dec. 31, 1889.
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE...
REVERDY B. STEWART, OF VARREN, PENNSYLVANIA.
COMPOUND TOOL.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 418,541, dated December 31, 1889. Application filed October 10, 1889- Sarial No. 326,571. (No model.)
and the purpose thereof is to provide a simple and inexpensive device capable of use as a hammer, wrench, or hatchet, as a hitching attachment for horses and other animals, and as a scraper or pick for removing stones, dirt, gravel, and other impactions from the foot of a horse, and for other purposes.
The invention consists in the novel imple-' ment hereinafter described and claimed, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which Figurel is a side elevation illustrating my invention. Fig. 2 is a view showing the manner of using the same as a hitching attachment. Fig. 3 isa detail section of the head of the tool, showing one form of uniting the point therewith. Fig. 4 is a similar view showing a modification in construction. Fig. 5 is a top or plan View showing one form of con struction of the point. Fig. 6 is a view showing a modified form of head, whereby the device is capable of use as a wrench. Fig. 7 is a view showing the manner of usingthe device on a plank sidewalk.
In'the said drawings, the reference-numeral 1 designates the stock or handle of the implement, which may be made of wood or other rate piece and attached in any suitable manner. This point consists of a conical piece of metal having a screw-thread 4. and flattened upon two opposite sides, the threads being removed fromthe fiat faces 5. The point 3 may be formed as an integral part of the head, or it may be made of a separate piece of metal inserted in a recess in the head 2 and its end upset. to retain it in place, as
shown in Fig. 3, or it may be formed separately and the head cast upon or around its end, as shown in Fig. 5. The head 2 may be made of any suitable material and of any desired form; but I have shown in the drawings a hammer-head as being one convenient form, though others may be used. I may also give the point 3 a complete conical form, omitting the flattening of the opposite sides.
The method of using the implement as a hitching attachment is as follows: The threaded point 3 is driven into the wood of a tree, post, fence, sidewalk, or other object, the flattened sides or faces 5 lying parallel with the grain of the wood. A quarter-turn or more.
then advances the screw-threads into the wood, which closes with great force thereon and gives a firm strong attachment to the point. The hitching strap or line .is then looped around the head between the point and the stock or handle, giving a perfectly secure fastening. The ready and speedy manner in which the device maybe attached and detached to and from any support or base renders it a great and in many instances an indispensable convenience.
The point or pick is well adapted to scraping and picking impactions of gravel, stone, ice, and other substances from a horses foot, While the extreme end may, when the sides of the point are flattened, be utilized as a screwdriver. It is evident also that when the head is in the form of a hammer it renders the tool serviceable in other respects, though. the invention may be applied to or incorporated in a hatchet or other implement, as shown in Fig. 4:.
An exceedingly convenient form may be given to the head by making it of any convenient construction of wrench, as shown in Fig.
6. This enables the user to set the nuts upon a carriage-axle or to repair parts of the vehicle when broken, and is also capable of other uses.
Heretofore and prior to my inventiona complank sidewalk, and then turned partly around, as shown and described. A tether has been also used consisting of a screw having a, handle or lever provided with an open ing adapted to receive the hitching-rein, the tool having a screw which is driven into the Wood. Screws have also been made flattened upon two opposite sides, but having no conneotion with a handle or shank similar to that shown by me.
\Vlmt I claim is 1. A com pound implement serving as a ham- II1'Bl,hltChGt, or hitching attachment, and eonsisting of a stock or handle provided with a head of suitable material, said head having a point of conical form threaded upon its elite rim: and flattened upon two opposite sides, substantially as described.
2. A compound tool consisting of a stock or handle provided with a. hammerhead having a threaded cortical point formed in a separate piece flattened upon opposite sides and united with said head, substan tially as described.
In testimony whereof I have affixed my signature in presence of two witnesses.
