UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.

HENRY FAOHS, OF NEIV YORK, N. Y.

SPREAD-EAG LE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 459,683, dated September 15, 1891.

Application filed April 11, 1891- Serial No. 388,561. (No model.)

To all whom it 71mg concern:

Be it known that I, HENRY FAoHs, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York, in the county and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Spread-Eagles, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a spread-eagle which can be readily taken apart and put together again, so as to be easily packed and shipped whenever required, as set forth in the following specification and claims and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l is a rear view of the eagle with the wings attached. Fig. 2 is a similar view with the wings removed. Fig. 3 is a section through the body and wings.

The letter A designates the body of the eagle, having recesses or depressions forming shoulders B B. The wings C are placed into the recess with their edges D abutting against the shoulders B, and screws E, entering suitbly-tapped screw-receiving holes F, Fig. 2, in the body, hold the wings in place. The shoulders B steady the wings. The wings have pins or studs G entering suitable pin-receiving holes H in the body, so as to further steady the wings. As the wings can be readily detached, the eagle can be readily packed and shipped in a compact space, and when in place on the body the wings are held as firmly in place as if they were integral with the body.

The advantage of this construction over an eagle made with the wings fixed to the body is thus readily apparent.

IVhat I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. An eagle having its body provided with recesses and screw-receivin g holes, detachable wings seated in the recesses, and attachingscrews engaging the screw-reoeivi ng holes and securing the wings in position on the body, substantially as described.

2. An eagle having its body provided with pin and screw receiving holes, detachable wings having pins entering the pin-receiving holes, and attaching-screws engaging the screw-receiving holes and securing the wings in position on the body, substantially as described.

3. An eagle having its body provided with recesses and pin and screw receiving holes, detachable wings seated in the recesses and provided with pins entering the pin-receiving holes, and attaching screws engaging the screw-receiving holes and securing the wings in position on the body, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

.. HENRY FACHS.
