DESIGN FOR AN AX.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Design No. 16.631, dated April 20, 1886.

Application died February-2, i886; Serial No. 190,648. Term nf paient N yell-n.

To all whom. t non!! concern.-

Be it known that I, THOMAS BAKEWELL, of Sewiclcley, in the county of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and original Design for Axes; and I do hereby declare the following exact description thereof.

My design for axes consists ol' double con cave bevel's, having opposed circular edgesoni each side of the blade of the ax.

The'drawings show, in Figure l, aside view, and in Fig. 2 an edge view, of an ax of my new and original design. Hereaindicates the blade, and b the poll in which the eye c is made.` Extending in from each edge ol' the blade is a concave bevel, having a circular edge, ef, running from the end of the bit gto a point opposite thc forward edge of .the eye c. The concave bevels d approach n ear to each other at the middle of the blade. The concavty of the hevels, which merge into the to hea full, clear, andsnrfnce of the blade on curved lines, gives a remarkably light, graceful, and handsome ap pearanice` to the side of the ax, which does not detract from the idea of strength, and thc sides converge toward each other at the edges (see Fig. 2) in handsome curved lines, which are due to the concave bevcls, and add greatly to the beauty ofthe ax.

WhatI I claim ns my invention, and desire. to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The design for axes, consisting of concave bevcls with circular edges on the sides of the blade und extending in from the opposite edges thereof. as herein shown and'dcscribed.

'In testimony whereot I have hereunto set my hand this 13th day of January, A. D. 18861.

THOMAS BAKEWELL.
