UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
JAMES DEMPSEY, OF KEATING SUMMIT, PENNSYLVANIA.
HAMMER.
' SPECIFICATION forming' partrof Letters Patent No. 704,006, dated July 8', 1902. Application led February '7, 1902K. Serial No. 93,048. (No model.)
To @ZZ whom t may concern:
Be it known thatI, J AMES DEMPsEAY, acitizen ofthe United States, residing at Keating Summit, in the county of Potter and Stateof Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Hammer, ofwhich the followingis a specification.
This invention relates generally to hammers, and particularly to that class wherein a nail-holding device is associated with the hammer-head.
The object of the invention is to provide an attachment of the character specified which in use will render it possible to set two nails of the same length at different operations, both nails being associated with the hammerhead at the same time, whereby in nailing up, say, a strip of weather-boarding the operator will have one hand free to hold the board while setting both nails.
With these and other objects in View, as will appear as the nature of the invention is better understood, the same consists in the novel construction and combination of parts of a nail-holding device for hammers, as will be hereinafter fully described and claimed.
In the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, and in which like numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts, there isv illustrated one form of embodiment of the invention capable of carrying the same into practical operation, it being understood that the elements therein exhibited may be varied or changed as to shape, proportion, and exact manner of assemblage Without departing from the spirit of the invention, andin these drawings- Figure l is a View is side elevation, exhibiting a hammer equipped with the device of thel present invention.V Fig. 2 is a view in top plan. Fig. 3 is adetached detail view of the nail-holding attachment. Fig. 4 is asimilar view of a plate or block coacting with the attachment.
Referring to the drawings, l designates a hammer-head, which maybe ofthe usual or any preferred construction, and 2 thehandle. As these parts may be of the usual or any preferred construction, detailed description thereof is deemed unnecessary.
The nail-holding attachment 3, which constitutes the gist of the present invention, is
, constructed of a piece of resilient metal, preferably of steel, and is by preference approximately triangular in shape and is secured to the handle at its narrow end by screws 4. The wide end of the attachment is provided with two divergent slots 5 and an intermediate slot 6, the two outer fingers 7, formed by the slots 5, being slightly rounded at their outer edges, as at 8, whereby to hold their inner portions and the iingers 9 spaced from the side of the hammer-head, thus to facilitato the insertion of nails, as clearly shown in Fig. 2. As before stated, it is an object of this invention to-enable the operator to associate two nails with the hammer-head and to seat these at two separate blows, and to effect. this there is disposed between two of the ingers 7 and 9 a plate or block 10, the same being secured to the side of the hammer-head by screws 11, this plate to be of suicient thickness to project the point of the nail held between these fingers a sufficient distance beyond theipoint of the nail held between the other pair of fingers to permit of its being set in a board Without interference with the lastnamed nail, as Will be readily understood by reference to Fig. 2.
In the use of the hammer provided with this attachment the nails are inserted within the slots 5, the head of one nail resting against the side of the hammer and the other against the plate lO, the fingers 7 and 9 to exert only sufcient pressure on the heads as to hold the nails in proper position for setting. The operator will then project the hammer toward the board, when ythe nail bearing against the plate 10 will be seated in the board, the other nail remaining undisturbed, and by drawing down on the hammer the'seated nail is moved out of the slot 5, after which it may be driven home, and then .the remaining nail will be set in the same manner.
ing the lifting of the fingers, thereby saving both in time and labor in positioning the nails. Having thus fully described my invention,
what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
l. The combination with a hammer, of a duplexnail-holding device, and means coacti ing with one of the holding devices for projecting the point of a nail held thereby bc= yond that held by the' other device.
2. The combination with a hammer, of a duplex nail-holding device, and a `plate disposed beneath one of the devices for project- `ing it beyond the plane of the other device.
3. The combination with a hammer, of a nail -holding device having its outer edges curved to hold the intermediate portion out of -engagement with the lhammer-head.
4. The combination with a hammer, of a duplex nail-holding device having its outer zo edges curved to hold the intermediate portion out of engagement with the hammer-head, and nail-projecting means coacting with one of the holding devices.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as z 5 my own I have hereto aiixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
JAMES DEMPsEY.
