Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented April 23, 1907.
Application filed March 12, 1906. Serial No. 305,700.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JAMES L. RILEY, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Xenia, Illinois, have invented certain new and useful #Improvements in a Combined Box-Opener, Nail-Puller, and Hammer, of which the following is a specification containing a full, clear, and exact description, reference being 'had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part hereof.
My invention relates to a combined boxopener, nail-puller, and hammer; and the object of my invention is to construct a simple tool in one price which may be advantageously used in opening boxes, removing the nails from the boards of which the boxes are constructed, and which device may be utilized for driving nails.
To the above purposes my invention consists of certain novel features of construction and arrangement of parts, which will be hereinafter more fully set forth, pointed out in my claim, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of my combination-tool as the same appears in use as a box-opener. Fig. 2 is a perspective view illustrating the combination-tool in position for removing the boards from a box after the first board has been removed therefrom. Fig.3 is a perspective View of the forward end of the toolin use as a nail-puller.
Referring by numerals to the accompanying drawings, 1 designates the handle of my improved tool, which is preferably in the form of a rod the ends of which are somewhat larger than the center. Formed on or fixed to the center of this handle is ashank 2, the forward end of which terminates in a flat plate 3, which occupies a plane at right angles to the plane occupied by the handle 1, and the forward end of this plate 3 is constructed in the form of a pointed wedge 4.
Formed on or fixed to the rear end of the plate 3 and projecting laterally therefrom is an arm 5, and integral with the outer end of this arm is a forwardly-projecting late 6, which ocou ies the same plane and ms parallel with t e plate 3 and the forward end of this late 6 being wedge-shaped and bifurcatedj as indicated by 7. H
To use my im roved combination-tool as a box-opener, the andle 1 is manually engaged and held in a vertical ositio'n, and the for ward end of the pointe wedge 4 of the late 3 is inserted beneath the edge of one o the boards forming the box that is to be opened. The tool is now swung backward and forward in a horizontal lane, and at the same time pressure is app ied thereto, and this action forces the forward end of the plate beneath the edge of the board, and then by swinging the handle out of a vertical plane in either direction the plate is necessarily moved out of a horizontal plane with a prying movement, and as a result the end of the board is lifted from that portion of the box to which it was previously fixed. This operation is repeated beneath all the ends of the remaining boards, or, if desired, after the first board has been removed the forward end of the tool may be ositioned on the to edge of the end board 0 the box, with the plate 3 on one side thereof and the plate 6 beneath the edge of the board to be removed, and then by bearing downwardly upon the rear end of the tool said board is readily pried upward and detached from position.
Nails are removed with my improved tool by inserting the bifurcated forward end of the plate 6 beneath the head of the nail and bearing downward or upward upon the handle 1, while the forward end of the late 3 bears u on a portion of the board a jacent the nai that is being removed.
To use the tool as a hammer, the plates 3 and 6 are manually engaged, and the nail is struck with one end of the handle 1.
A combination-tool of my improved conwith and projecting at right angles from the center of said handle, the plate 3 integral with the opposite end of the shank, which plate occupies a plane at right angles to the plane occupied by the handle, and the forward end of which plate is pointed, the arm 5 integral with and projecting laterally from name to this specification in presence of two the rear end of one side of the plate, and a subscribing Witnesses.
plate 6 integral With and projeotin for- Wardly from the end of the arm and odoupy- JAMES RILEY 5 ing the same horizontal plane With the first- Witnesses:
mentioned plate; substantially as specified. ROY E. FILsON,
In testimony whereof I have signed my DAVID HIGGASON.
