BLACKSMI'IHS TONGS.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented July 9, 190'}.
Application filed March 16,1907. Serial No. 362,689.
United States, residing at J erseyville, in the county of Jersey and State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Blacksmiths Tongs, of which the following is a specification.
This invention has relation to blacksmiths tongs and it consists in the novel construction and arrangement of its parts as hereinafter shown and described.
The object of the invention is to provide a pair of tongs, the work'engaging ends of which are of such construction that the tongs may readily grasp and retain a relatively thin or thick piece of work without requiring adjustment'of the pivotal connection between the tong members or other parts in connection therewith. The work engaging ends of the tongs are provided with ex tremities for engaging and retaining pieces of -WOIl having plane or flat siufaces and between the said extremities and the pivot which connects the tong members together, the said ends are provided with arcuate portions for engaging and retaining cylindrical bodies such as rod, pipe, etc. The ends of the said arcuate portions Overlap each other and the work-engaging surfaces of the extremities are locatednponthe same edge of the work-engaging end as the oonvexed edge of the arcuate portion. Both members of the tongs are identically alike in configuration and dimensions.
In the accompanying drawing:Figure 1 is a side elevation of the tongs closed. Fig. Zis an edge view of 'the same, and Fig. 3 is a side elevation of the tongs open. p o
The tongs are composed of the members 1, l which are identically alike in shape and dimensions. The
said members are-pivoted together as at 2. I As the said members are exactly alike a description of one will answer for both. Each member is provided with a straight gaging surface 7 of the extremity 5 is located at the same edge or side of the member as the convexed surface of the arcuate portion 4. The pivotal point 2 between the members 1, 1 is located at the point of merger of the handles 3 with the arcuate portions 4 and the opposite ends of said arcuate portions overlap each other whereby the work-engaging surfaces 7 of the extremities 5 are located directly opposite each other.
The handles 3 and the extremities 5 extend substantially radially with relation to the arcuate portions 4 but are slightly out of alinement with each other so that when the extremities 5 are brought together their longitudinal ax es will be disposed at an acute angle. Thus, it is possible for the tip ends of said extremities to pick up and retain very thin material while the extremities may be spread apart for a considerable distance and still be so disposed as to hold thick material without unduly stretching the hand of the smith. While the-tongs are intended chiefly for holding work upon an anvil they may be used in the capacity of pliers or pincers and the serrated surfaces 7 along the concaved edges of theportions 4 may be used for holding cylindrical bodies such as round rod, pipe, etc.
When used in thelast named capacity the pivot may be transferred to the perforations 8 when the work may be held between-the arcuate portions 4 by bringing the handles 33 toward each other.
In testimony that'I claim the foregoing as my own, I
have hereto afiixed my signature in the presence 'of two witnesses. i
