MALLET.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 715,814, dated December 16, 1902. Application filed October 2 1901. Serial No. 77,335. (N0 modem To all whmn it may concern.-
Be it known that I, GEORGE FJKENNEY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Boston, in the county of Sufiolk and State of Massachusetts,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Mallets; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
My invention relates to an improvementin mallets; and its objects are to construct the head independently of the other parts, so
that the head can be reversed if it is wearing unevenly, to enable a workman to apply a new head whenever necessary, and thus avoid the necessity of having to send the whole mallet back to the manufacturer, and to so construct the parts that in case the rawhide becomes badly worn and the ironwork strikes the die the wear naturally comes upon the washers, thus saving or protecting the casting, which might otherwise beinjured or destroyed.
My invention consists in a mallet in which the head is formed separately and independently of the other parts and which head consists of a sleeve, a washer at each end, and the disks of rawhide, the ends of the sleeve being turned outwardly against the washers, so as to hold the rawhide tightly in position.
' It also consists in a casting applied to the center shank, the head, a grooved nut applied to the outer screw-threaded end of the shank, the casting and nut being grooved so as to receive the flanged ends of the sleeve, all of which will be more fully described hereinafter.
The accompanying drawing represents a side elevation of a mallet which embodies my invention, partly in vertical section.
A represents the central shank, of which the hexagon-shaped enlargement 0 forms a part. This part 0 is so shaped as to permit being held by a wrench or vise, so that the nuts upon the end of the shank may be tightly screwed up. The handle B is constructed in the usual well-known manner. Placed upon the shank next to the part 0 is the casting D, which is provided on its inner side with a circular groove or recess F.
The head of the mallet is formed of the sleeve G, the two end washers I, and the disks of rawhide, leather, or other suitable material J. The ends of the sleeve G are turned outwardly, so as to form the flanges L, and these flanges catch tightly against the outer sides of the washers I, and thus clamp the disks J tightly in position. This head, being formed of the sleeve G, washers I, and disks J, is made entirely separate and independent from the other part of the mallet and permits the head to be reversed whenever the disks are wearing unevenly, permits a workman to put a new head in position whenever necessary, aud prevents the necessity of sending the entire mallet back to the manufacturer whenever the head becomes worn or injured. In case the rawhide becomes badly worn and the ironwork strikes the die the wear naturally comes on the washer, thus saving or protecting the casting, which might be otherwise inj :1 red or destroyed. This construction also enables mallet-heads to be sent to the userallturnedand finished readyforuse. The outer end of the shank is screw-threaded, and the end nut Ois screwed thereon,- so as to bear tightly against the outer washer of the head. Upon the extreme end of the shank, outside of the nut O, is placed a check nut P. The nut O and the casting D are recessed upon their inner sides, so as to receive the turned-out edges of the flange G, as shown.
An ordinary mallet is so constructed that when the mallet-head becomes worn and has to be replaced it is necessary to remove the leather disks comprising the handle, and then the hexagon nut and casting, said operation requiring a special knowledge of the construction of the mallet, and hence the mallet can only be repaired at the place where it was manufactured. The mallet head and handle have to be returned in a lathe, so as to have the head and handle smooth, as when new. My construction, as above stated, enables the head to be entirely separate and distinct from the other portions of the mallet, and when the head is worn out or has to be repaired it is only necessary to send the head alone back to the factory. Where two or more heads are purchased at the same time as the mallet, the worn head can be removed and a new one replaced in a few minutes, thus preventing the mallet from being thrown out of operation.
Having thus described my invention, I clain1- In a mallet, the shank, the part 0 formed thereon, the casting D placed against the part 0, and the removable head consisting of the flanged sleeve G, the Washers I and disks J, combined with the nut O placed upon the end of the shank, the nut and the casting D being grooved upon their inner sides so as to receive the flanged ends of the tube, substantially as specified.
In testimony whereof I aifix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
GEORGE F. KENNEY.
