GEORGE W. HEATH, OF BURLINGTON, PENNSYLVANIA.
Letters Patent No. 80,950, dated August 11, 1868.
IMPROVEMENT IN HORSE HAY-FORKS.
TO- ALL WHOMIT MAY CONCERN:
Be it known that I, GEORGE W. HEATH, of Burlington, in the county of Bradford, and in the State of- Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Horse Hay-Forks; and do hereby declare that the following is afull, clear, and exact description, thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings,-and'to the letters of reference marked ithereon.
The nature of my invention consists in. the construction of'a. double-pointed or how-fork, the points of which are provided with cutting-edges, and the fork so constructed that arms thereon may be turned inwards, by means of a lever pivoted on the fork.
To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention, I will proceed to describe its construction and operation.
In the annexed drawings, forming part of this specification- A represents a two-pronged hay-fork, with a. handle, B, in the top of which is a ring, 0, through which the rope to raise or lower the same is passed.
On the side of the prongs of the fork, arms D D are pivoted, and connected by means of the connectingbars F F, at their upper end, to the lever E, which is pivoted to the fork below the handle B.
The connecting-bars are attached to the lever, one at its end, and the other to a point at the other side of the pivot, so that when the lever is raised or lowered, the connecting-bars move in opposite directions,thereby moving thearms D D either inward or outward at the same time.
The points of the fork are cut with a square notch, a, on the outer edge, and the points of the arms are cut with a similar'noteh, C, on their inner edge; the points'below the notches below being sharpened 'on both edges to make a. cutting-edge for the purpose of penetrating the hay easily.
The handle B is provided with a pin, c against which the leverE rests when raised, and when in that position the arms D D extend along the prongs of the forks. When the lever is lowered, the po'ints of the arms are pressed inward, and the notches a a and C C serve to hold the hay, so that it will not fall oil.
What I claim as an improvement upon my patent for a hay-fork, dated April 9, 1867, is-
The arrangement of the bars A A and their points a a, b urs D D pivoted as shown, and with points 6 b,
connecting-bars F F, and lever E, all constructed and operating as set forth.
In testimony that I claim the t'oregoing, I have hereunto set my hand, this 9th day of May, 1868.
