RILEY ALBAOI-I, OF MOUNT GILEAD, OHIO.
To otZZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, RILEY ALBACH,a citizen of the United States,residing at Mount Gilead, l in the countyof Morrow and State of Ohio, i f have invented certain new and useful Im-V provements in Husking-Pegs; andI do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as f. will enable others skilled in the art to which 1`o it appertains to make and use the same.
. This invention relates to implements for use g i in connection with husking corn, and has for its object to provide in a single device means i. i for opening and stripping the husk from the i 1"5` ear of corn, a blade for cutting down the saddle or brace-hills, and a twine-holder to facilitate the binding of the fodder, the parts being compactly arranged and disposed for convenience and ease of operation. zo Fora full description of the invention and the `merits thereof and also to acquire a `knowledge of the details of construction of 1 the means for eecting the result reference y is to be had to the following description and `2 5 drawings hereto attached. f y While the essential and 3 tures of the inventionare necessarily suscepi y 1 tible of modification, still the preferred emy bodiment of the invention is illustrated in 3o` the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l is a perspective View of a huskingy peg embodying `the invention. Fig. 2 is a "side elevation, the blade being open. Fig. 3
is a front view. y i
y Corresponding and like parts are referred to in the following description and indicated inallithe viewsof the drawings by the same referencecharacters. y zThestock or body of the peg or husking- 4o1pin"is composed of two parts 1 and 2, con-V `nectedatone end and spaced apart to receive between them the blade 3 and spring 4. The parts l and`2 may be integrally formed or comcharacteristic fea-` ,any substantial and desired way. The spring 4 closes the space at one side and serves to hold the blade 3 either open or closed.
5o penetrate Vthehusks and materiallyassist in 1 the `stripping of*` the same from the earsof i posed of separate parts joined at one end in U The point or hook 6 is formed with the upper endpffthe side 2 and is shaped to readily" HUSKlNG-PEG.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 681,176, dated August 27', 1901.
Application tiled January 25,1901. SerialNo. 44,751- (No model.)
of the blade forms a guard for the end of the thumb and enables the thumb to obtain a purchase thereon, whereby the operation of the blade in cutting the saddle or brace-hills is rendered more easy.
A guard 7 is provided at the lower end of the side l and curves laterally therefrom in an opposite direction to the point or hook 6 and affords a point of purchase for the little finger when the implement is in active operation. The parts G and 7 being diagonally disposed enable the hand to obtain a rm grip upon the stock or body of the article when the blade 3 is opened or extended for use in cutting the saddle or brace-hills after the shock has been thrown down to enable the husking ofthe ears of corn. A claw 8 branches from the guard 7 and extends lengthwise of the stock or body. This claw is primarily designed to engage with an end of thepbinding-twine used for securing the fodder when gathered into a bunch. In addition to this function the claw engages the hand and supplements the action of the guard 7 in bracing the stock and enabling the hand to obtain a firm grip thereon'.
When it is required to husk the corn, the shock sare thrown down and the stalks left standing to brace and anchor the shocks,` and the parts known as the saddle7 or" bracehill are cut close to the ground by means of a `corn-cutter.. This cutter is frequentlylost in the field and no end of veXation is occasioned and time lost in hunting for the same when misplaced. The present invention combines with the husking peg or pin a blade which is attached to the stock or body of the i article and is adapted to fold therein when not required for immediate service and when the implement is used for husking purposes. Moreover, this blade being attachedito a stock `having diagonally-disposed oft'standingfpor- IOO corn.` This point or hookbeing at one side tions can be manipulated with greater easel since said projections provide bracing-points and a guard for the hand in the manner stated.
JWhen it is required to bind the fodder, one
ing` offstanding projections at diagonally opposite points, a claw extended from thelower offstanding projection, a blade pivoted to the body. to fold into the space formed between the sides thereof, and a strap attached at its ends to the body and adapted to receive the fingers of the hand, substantially as set forth.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature 'in presence of two witnesses.
