HAM E.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 530,785, dated December 11, 1894.

Application filed August 25, 1893- Serial No. 484,013- (No model.) I

To all whom it may concern.-

. tipped hames are produced.

In the accompanying drawingsz-Figure 1, is a view of our improved hame. Fig. 2, is a detached perspective view of the tubular section. Fig. 3, is a detached perspective view of the metallic brace or filler. Fig. 4, is a section on the line 1-2, Fig. 1; and Fig. 5, is a section on the line 3-4., Fig. 1.

A is the tubular section of the hame made in the present instance of a brass tube of even diameter throughout the tube being cut from an ordinary stock tube and bent at each end as indicated in Fig. 2-.

B is the metallic filler or brace grooved on its outer edge to fit the tube as indicated in Figs. 4 and 5, and curved on its inner edge b to fit the collar. The filler is secured to the tube A by the projecting ends of the staples D, E and F which are riveted over the filler as clearly indicated in Fig. 4, the filler being of metal. Washers are dispensed with entirely. On the end of the filler B is a strap eye (1 and the tube A is so shaped at the end as to neatly fit over a project-ion b of the filler as indicated in Fig. 1, a rivet e passing, through the tube and filler firmly securing the end of the tube to the filler. It will thus be seen that when the hame is finished, as shown in Fig. 1, the tube is supported by the filler and braced sufficiently to withstand any of the ordinary strains.

By making the strap eye b a part of they filler or brace it will strengthen the eye and make the same perfectly rigid.

The upper end ofthe tube can be ornamented by a ball a, or acorn, or other ornament,asdesired. Thetubecanbepolishedby a buffing wheel before it is secured to the filler or brace or it can be polished afterward, as desired. The tube may also be silver plated or nickel plated, and while we prefer to use a solid brass tube we may use a brass sheaved iron tube, or a plain iron or German silver tube, without departing from our invention.

By making the filler of metal and dispensing entirely with wood as a backing for the hame any one of the trimmings if injured can be readily removed without marring the hame in the slightest. The wood of the ordinary wood backed hame is apt to be destroyed when repairs are made. 1

It will be understood that instead of riveting the trimmings in place their tangs may be screw threaded and adapted to screw threads in the filler. In the case of the eye F, this will have a single tang, instead of double, as shown.

The hame made out of an ordinary tube will not properly set upon a collar and if made of a tube sufficient in diameter to allow it to be expanded at the center and shaped to fit the collar it must also be tapered at both ends in order to make a neat appearance. This expandingof the tube and reducing its ends is a very expensive operation and the result attained does not warrant the cost.

We claim as our invention--- 1'. As a new article of manufacture, a hame consisting of a bent tube of even diameter throughout the length of the hame, a metallic filler, shaped to fit the collar, and secured to the bent tube by trimmings, substantially as set forth.

2. As a new article of manufacture, a hame consisting of a bent tube of even diameter throughout the length of the hame, and a metallic filler secured to said tube and having a strap-eye at its lower end, substantially as set forth.

3. As a new article of manufacture, a hame consisting of a bent tube of even diameter throughout the length of the hame, a metallic filler shaped to fit the collar and tube to which it is secured, and having a projection, b, at its lower end over which the lower end of the tube is neatly fitted, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof we have signed our names to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
