UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE..
GEORGE I1. WITSIL, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA, ASSIGNGR TO CHAS. A.,WATERMAN.
IMPRovl-:D ICE-PICK, NUTCRAoK|-:R, eac.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No.V 54,653, dated May 8, 1866.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, GEORGE L. Wirsrr, of Philadelphia, in the county oi Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a Tool or Instrument for General Household Utility; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of' the same, reference being had to the accompanyin g drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon.
My invention relates to a combination in one instrument ot' a variety of devices of gen` eral utility, as hereinafter shown.
In order to enable others to understand the precise nature of my invention, I will proceed to describe it.
0n reference to the accompanying drawings, which form part of this specification, Figure lis a side view, and Fig. 2 is a top View.
Similar letters refer to similar parts in the views.
In the management of every well-regulated household it has heretofore been found necessary to use a separate and distinct tool or instrument for each and every of the various operations incidental to it. This has caused not only a vast first outlay, but also considerable expense is afterward entailed and valu! able time lost by breakage and displacement ofthe same. I propose to obviate these objections by constructing a tool or instrument at a small cost which will be easily manipulated, combining gas-burner forceps and pipe-ton gs, nut-cracker, ice-pick, tack and nail hammer, tack and nail drawer, appliances for remove- ,ing plates from stoves or ovens, and for making beef or other meats tender.
A A' are levers, hinged atv B. The upper through the medium of' which the two levers are connected. c is a serrated opening in the intersection ofthe levers, which is for removing gas-burners, disconnecting or unscrewing gas-pipes, and for cracking nuts, 6to. The projection j' of the upper lever terminates in an an gul-ar fork or tack-drawer. The prong d, which is the medium ot' connection between the two levers, is an ice-pick. Fixed to the side of each lever, and adjacent, are two parallel projections, g g, which are intended, when used either together or separately, for a nail or tack hammer. Formed to the lower lever, A', is a serrated projection or a meat-thrasher. rIhe lower lever, A', terminates in a dish or crescent, 7c, to remove a plate from a stove or oven. The levees re opened and the crescent is slipped nude, erfectly balancing the plate between thefciescent and the angular projection c. A
What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
Combiningand arranging. in one tool or instrument an icepick, d, gas-burner forceps and pipetongs aud nut-cracker c, tack and nail extractor f, nail and tack hammer g, meatthrasher l1., and the plate-lifter le, substantially as and for the purpose herein specified and described.
In testimony whereof I hereunto sign my name to this specification in presence of two Subscribing witnesses.
