Description
tiniterl M. Ross, or LLION, NEW YORK.
Letters Patent No. 87,368, dated March 2, 1869.
IMPROVEMENT 1N GARDEN-Hon.
-HOM- The-Beliedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making p'art of the same.A
To all 'whom' it 'may concern Be it known that LA. M. R0ss, of Ilion, Herkimer county, N ew York, have invented a new and improved Hoe; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description thereof', reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon.
Similar letters of reference indicate the same devices in all the gures.
` To enable others skilled in the arts to comprehend, make, and use myinvention, I will proceed to describe its nature,-construction, and operation.'
The nature ofmy invention consists in makinga hoe by first cutting the blade out of sheet-metal, and then striking up, or raising the central portion, so as to obtain greater strength without additional weight.
Figure l is an end elevation-of my improved hoe.
Figure 2 is a side elevation of the same.
Figure 3 is a section ofthesame through the shank and handle.
a, hoe-blade. l
a', that portion ofthe blade `which is raised.
b, handle of the hoe. r
c, shank.
c', end of the tenons.
d, ferrule.
The lines e f and g h' represent cross-sections of my improved hoe, at the points indicated by the same letters in iig. l.
-My invention relatesl especially yto that kind of hoe l used in cultivating onions, but it may be applied to alll descriptions of hoes; and
llhe object of my invention is to enable the mann'- facturer to produce al much stronger' and lighter hoe,
at conslderable less expense than can be made by the old'process.
My improved hoe is made by first cutting, from a plate of steel, a blank hoe-blade, in the form shown by the outlines of iig. 1.
The blank is then swaged between two dies, of such shape as to raise the central portion ofthe blade about twice the thickness of the steel, as shown at Two square holes are then punched through the raised portion of the blade, for the reception of the shank. The blade is then ground and polished. The shank is forged with tivo tenons on one end of' it, corresponding with the two holes in the hoe-blade. The other end of the shank is drawn out, o'f suitable shape to be driven into the handle.
llie shank is then riveted into the blade, 'by forming heads on the two tenons, as shown at c', iig. 1.
The handle is then prorided with a fer-rule, d, and the shank driven'into it, which completes the hoe.
The raised portion of the blade extends up into the prongsand down toward the cuttingedge ofthe hoe,
thus strengthening, to any desired extent, all ,parts, without adding anything to the weight of the hoe.
. By this process the hoe is produced without either hammering or rolling, which materially reduces the cost ofl manufacturing.
Having described my invention, What I desire' to have secured to me by Letters PatentA of the United States, is-
The witliin-described hoe, when constructed substan# tially ,as setz-forth, as an` article of manufacture.
Witnessesz` A. M. ROSS.
