IMPROVEMENT IN CORN-HUSKING IMPLEMENTS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 154,218., dated August 18, 1874; application filed April 7, 1874. i
To all whom it may concern: 7
Be it known that we, WILLIAM .T. OAVEN- DER and JOHN T. DALLAs, of Auburn, in the county of Shawnee and State of Kansas, have invented a new and Improved Corn-Husker; and that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, making a part of this specification.
This invention is in the nature of a device for stripping the husks from the ears of corn; and-consists in an iron or steel rod, bent to adjust itself to the hand and wrist, and provided with a curved end, whereby the husks are stripped by thrusting the curved end through them, substantially as hereinafter described.
The accompanying drawing is a View of the husker attached to the hand, showing its application.
A is the husker proper, formed from a small rod of iron or steel, bent as shown in the drawing, so that, when the husker is placed between the forefinger and thumb of the right hand, the end a of the husker will rest at the under side of the junction of the hand with the wrist, and from thence extends upward, parallel with the thumb, untilthe end is curved in a spiral form, terminating in a point, I).
The husker has fitted to it a strap, B, one end of this strap being confined to it in any desirable way, and the other end being provided with a metallic loop, 0, which hooks into the hook (1 at the end a of the husker.
Our husker being constructed substantially as above described, it is operated by seizing the ear of corn in the left or right hand, and the husker being attached to the other hand, in the manner above mentioned, it is thrust through the husks, stripping the husk from the ear in a rapid manner, and without injury to the corn, and with very little effort to the person using it. i Having thus described our invention, what we claim as new, and desire to secure by Let ters Patent, is-
A corn-husking implement consisting of a rod, A, bent to conform to the front 'of the wrist, and extending upwardly between the thumb and forefinger, and secured to the hand by a strap and loop, substantially as described.
