MORELL BROWN POTTS, OF NEW MARTINSVILLE, WEST VIRGINIA.
TINSMITHS TOOL.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 506,935, dated October I7, 1893.
Application filed July 22, 1893. Serial No. 481,193 (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Beit known that I, MORELL BROWN POTTS, a citizen of the United States, residing at New Martinsville, in the county of Wetzel, State of WestVirginia, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Tinsmiths Tools; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
This invention relates to tinsmiths tools to facilitate the operation of laying tin roofing.
The object of the invention is the provision of a tool to facilitate the folding of the cleats to the sheathing and upturned edges of roofing strips and properly secure the turned ends thereof over the upturned edge of a strip of tin.
The improvement consists of the novel tool hereinafter described and claimed, and shown in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a perspective view of a tool embodying my invention. Figs. 2 and 3 are detail views showing the application and operation of the tool.
The tool presents the general appearance of a hammer of ordinary construction and is composed of the head A, and handle B, the latter being secured in the usual manner in an eye provided in the said head.
' The head is provided at one end with a poll a for general use as a hammerin the ordinary manner. The opposite end of the head is provided with a cleft b which forms a folder c and a guide f, the latter being considerably shorter than the folder and tapering outward on its inner side. The function of the guide f is to give proper direction to the folder e and insure the latter folding the cleats to the sheathing and unturned edge of roofing strips.
' The cleft b is of a depth corresponding to the height of the vertical portion of the cleat and the upturned edge of the sheet metal strip so that when the tool is set astraddle of the cleat the upper edge thereof on the upturned edge of the metal strip will touch the upturned end of the cleft b.
In Fig. 2, G represents the sheathing; H
the sheet metal strip having the upturned edge h; and I the sheet metal cleat for securing the strip H to the sheathing. The sheet metal strip being properly placed on the sheathing and the cleat I adjusted so that the upper bent edge thereof extends over the upturned edge h of the sheet metal strip, the tool is placed so that the cleft 1) thereof receives the vertical portion of a cleat and the upturned edge h of the strip H. By pressing down upon the tool the cleat is forced close against the upturned edge It and down upon the sheathing. A nail is driven into the horizontal portion of the cleat close against the upturned edge It by using the tool in the ordinary manner as a hammer.
For purposes of extracting nails the claw J projects laterally from the head.
Having thus described my invention, What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is I 1. The herein described tinsmiths tool comprising an approximately hammer shaped head having a cleft at one end to form a folder and a guide, the latter being shorter than the folder and tapering on its inner side, substantially as described for the purpose set forth.
2. The herein shown and described tinsmiths tool composed of a hammer head having a poll at one end and a cleft atthe opposite end forming a folder and a guide, the latter being shorter than the folder and tapering on its inner side, a claw projecting laterally from the said head, and a handle, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
MORELL BROWN POTTS.
