WITNESSES I am UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
WILLIAM LATUS, OF BROOKLYN, ASSIGNOR TO T. KARUTZ, OF BROOKLYN, E. D., NEW YORK.
IMPROVEMENT IN WOOD-SPLITTERS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 168,649, dated October 11, 1875; application filed July 24, 1875.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, WILLIAM LATUS, of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented an Improvement inWood-Splitters, of which the following is a specification:
My invention consists of a bed-piece, on which is a reciprocating splitting-blade, working in guides toward and from a head for holding the pieces of Wood to be split, and having cogs on its shank with which a toothed segment of a hand-lever gears for working the blade, the whole forming alight, cheap, and simple contrivance, by which pieces of kindling-Wood may be readily split up fine,
Without noise and damage to the hearth, as in the common way of splitting with a hatchet when lighting a fire.
Figure 1 is a longitudinal sectional elevation of my improved wood-splitter, taken on the line as :r of Fig. 2, and Fig. 2 is a plan View.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
A is a strong bed-piece of castiron or other suitable material, on which is a reciprocating blade, B, arranged in guides or Ways 0 to slide toward and from the head D, for holding the sticks to be split, and having a toothed shank, E, with which the toothed segment F of alever, G, gears, for pushing the blade forward into the wood with great force, but without shock or noise, the lever being pivoted to strong standards Hrising up from the bed-plate, and suitably contrived forforcing the blade by a down pressure on it, which may be applied without requiring any other means of holding the machine than a floor, or other like rest for it, Whereas, if applied in any other direction a special holder would be required.
I am aware that a mortising-knife has been used to operate in connection with a clamping-bed, so as to make holes in posts and analogous articles; but
Vhat I claim is- A wood-splitter for operation by hand, consisting of a bed having head D and guides O (J, a knife, B, having racked shank E, and a lever, G, having a toothed arc end, F, all constructed and arranged as shown and described.
