COMBINATION-TOOL.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent :No. 285,703, dated September 25, 1883. Application filed July 5, 1883. No model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern 'Be it known that I, INGERsoLL T. TORREY, a citizen of the United States of America, temporarily residing at Beeton, Ontario, Dominion of Canada, have invented a new and Improved Combination-Tool, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention consists of a novel combination-tool, more especially intended for the use of railroad-men for cutting the wires and tin clips used in sealing freight-cars and packages, and combines in one tool shears, tack-hammer, claw for pulling tacks, and a screwdriver. D

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in both the figures.

Figure 1 is a plan view of my new combinatioirtool as it appears when the cutting-blades are closed; and Fig. 2 is a similar view of the tool as it appears when the blades of the shears are open.

A 13 represent two cross-pivoted blades.

These are formed, respectively, with the bows a b like the bows of an ordinary pair of shears. The cutting portion 0 of blade B beyond the pivot d is made very short, and the cuttingedge 0' thereof is made on aline with the pivot (I, as shown. The cutting portion 0 of the blade A beyond the pivot dismade somewhat longer than the cutting portion 0 of the blade B, and this portion a is reduced in width at its extremity to form the screw-driver blade f, and

in the use of the tool for drawing tacks. bow at of the tool is formed with the hammerhead for driving tacks, and for other purposes forwhieh a hammer may be needed.

Constructed in this manner the tool is very convenient and useful, and well adapted for the use of railroadagents, traveling advertis: ingagents, train men, and also for general household use.

I do not abandon or dedicate to the public any patentable feature herein set forth and not hereinafter claimed, but reserve the right to claim the same in a reissue of any patent that may be granted upon this application, or in anv other applications for Letters Patents that I may m'ake.

Having thus described my invention, I claim I as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. The combination-tool herein shown and described, consisting of the crosspivoted blades A B, cutting-cdges c e, screw-driver f, and bows a 1), formed, respectively, with the hammerhead z and claw g, substantially as described.
