CURRYCOMB.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 629,768, dated August 1, 1899.
Application filed March 6, 1899.
To all whom, it may concern: I
Be it known that I, MARVIN CAMPBELL, a; citizen of the United States, residing at South. Bend, in the county of St. Joseph and State of Indiana, have invented a new and useful Currycomb, of which the following is aspecification.
My invention relates to improvements in currycombs for cleaning the loose hair and dirt from animals, and refers to thatspecial class that may be designated as spring currycombs.
My object is to' provide a currycomb economical in cost, durable in construction, having elasticity, and provided with a back that will not permit too much elasticity under the downward pressure and will allow the hand to rest within a handle immediately over the comb, thus causing the currying to be done more thoroughly and yet with more ease than with a comb having the handle at one side and at the same time have the hand protected from the dirt that comes from the animal when the comb, is used. I attain these objects by the methods illustrated inthe accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 illustrates a complete comb in which the spring-steel ribbon is fastened to the back with a bolt or rivet and with washers to separate the several coils of springs, as will be explained in detail. Fig. 2 illustrates a complete comb in which the steel ribbon is" fastened to the back with the bolt or rivet, the
several coils brought together at that point.
Fig. 3 is a side view of one-half of the comb out through the line X X, Fig. 1. Fig. 4: is a view of the back of the comb before the springsteel ribbon is fastened to it. Fig. 5 is a view of the spring-steel ribbon before being fastened to the back. Fig. 6 is a section of the spring-steel ribbon shown in Fig. 5, but
' with serrated edge to illustrate that the steel ribbon may have such an edge, if preferred.
Similar letters refer to similar parts throughout the several views.
To make my currycomb, as illustrated in the drawings, I take a piece of sheet metal A, Fig. 4. At the lines ct b and c d I turn up about one inch of the two ends a b and c d nearly at right angles to the remainder of the sheet. To avoid sharp corners, I trim Serial No. 707,832. (No model.)
the four corners of a, b, o, andd suchshape as'preference suggests, but usually about as illustrated, Fig. A. I punch a hole at E, and I also fasten the strap-handle F at the points Gand H. The back for mycurrycomb is then complete. I then take a steel ribbon I, usuing an elasticity, making it less harsh upon the skin of the animal and allowing the dirt to be easily shaken from the comb. This separation of the ribbon I from the backA is most easilyxdone by having the inner angle along the line 0 d somewhat obtuse. Some horsemen prefer the ribbon I with smooth edge, as shown in Fig. 5, and others with serrated edge, as shown by the section in Fig. 6. I make the comb both ways. I describe the back A as made of sheet metal. So far I have found this the most desirable material to use; but-if of the same shape and used for the same purpose I should regard it, if made of any material, as coming within the scope of my invention.
I amaware that prior to my invention curryoombs have been made in which an elasticsteel ribbon formed a part of the construction. I therefore do not claim, broadly, the use of the springsteel ribbon; but
vW'hat I do claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
The combination in a currycomb of the backA having the upturned ends 0 d and a. b and having the several coils of sheet-metal ribbomattached to the upturned edge of the back at the point E, all substantially as set forth.
