SAW-GUIDE FOR AX-I-IANDLES.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Application led September 30, 1908.
Patented Oct. 26, 1909.
Serial No. 455,417.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, CARY D. BRYANT, a citizen of the United States, residing at Granite Falls, in the county of Snohomish and State of Washington, have invented new and useful Improvements in Saw-Guides for Ax-Handles, of which the following is a specication.
This invention relates to improvements in saw guide attachments for ax handles, and the object of the invention is to provide a device of this character which may be readily attached to or detached from the handle of an ax so as to provide an efcient guide for a saw.
Another object of the invention is to provide a device of this character comprising a block constructed of hardened metal, preferably triangular in cross section and having one of its faces arcuate and provided with ,teeth so as to readily conform to the shape of the handle of an ax, the block being retained in position upon the ax handle through the medium of a resilient member detachably secured to the sides of the block and adapted to engage the underside of the ax handle so as to retain the device in a rigid position thereon, the apex or upper face of the triangular block being provided with a cut away portion having angular walls, whereby the saw positioned within this cut away portion may be made to assume any desired angle, and whereby the ax, which is adapted to be inserted within a felled log, may have its handle positioned at an angle in relation to the log and still allow the saw to be positioned within the cutaway portion of the block at the desired angle in relation to the log.
I/Vith these and other objects in view the invention resides in the novel construction and arrangement of parts hereinafter fully described and claimed.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of my improvement showing the same in applied position upon an ax handle and illustrating the method of guiding a saw. Fig. 2 is a top plan view of the improvement. Fig. 3 is a side elevation of the same. Fig. 4 is a bottom plan view of the device. Fig. 5 is a front elevation of the same.
In the accompanying drawings the numeral l designates the metal block or body This body l as illustrated in the several gures of the drawings is triangular in cross section, but it is, of course, to be understood that the invention is not limited to any precise shape or size. The triangular body l of the device as illustrated has its lower face curved or arcuate shaped as indicated by the numeral 2 to conform to the cross sectional contour of an ordinary ax handle. The lower arcuate face 2 of the block l is also provided with a plurality of projecting pins 3 which are adapted to be inserted within the ax handle to serve as a means for assisting in retaining the block upon the handle. The apex of the triangular block illustrated in the gures of the drawings is provided with a central cutaway portion 4, and the side walls of this cutaway portion are beveled or inclined in opposite direction so as to provide means whereby a saw, which is adapted to occupy the cutaway portion 4 when in operation, may be inclined at any desired angle in relation to the ax handle and the log which it is to cut.
The block l has its opposite sides provided with suitable perforations or bores, and these bores are adapted for the reception of oset lingers provided upon a spring clamp 5. This clamp 5 is constructed from a single strip of resilient material which is provided with a forwardly extending centrally disposed inger hold 6 from which depends in opposite directions the arcuate or curved arms of the clamp. These arms are provided with a plurality of convolutions which are adapted to rest upon one face of the block l, and from the last of these convolutions is extended the members provided with the offset portions engaging the bores of the block.
The improved device is primarily intended for use in lumber camps or in forests where trees are felled, and in loperation the ax is embedded in a fallen log as illustrated in Fig. l of the drawings. The block l is then attached to the ax, the spurs or pins 3 being embedded within the handle of the ax and the spring clamp brought beneath the underside of the ax handle to securely retain the block in position. The log may have its end adjacent that into which the ax is inserted raised or blocked up and the saw is then positioned within the cut away portion 4 of the block l whereby it is steadied and guided in cutting the log.
From the above description, taken in con* nection with the accompanying drawings it will be noted that I have provided an extremely simple and effective device for the purpose described, one which is extremely simple in construction and thoroughly efficient for the purpose for which it is intended.
It is to be understood that the walls or floor formed by the cut away portion of the block may be beveled as illustrated in the gures of the drawing or may be formed in any desired shape which will be best suited for supporting and guiding the saw.
Having thus fully described the invention what is claimed as new is:
l. The combination with an ax having a handle and a substantially V-shaped block resiliently connected therewith, said block having its upper edge or apex provided with a slot adapted to serve as a guiding means for a saw.
2. The combination with an ax provided with a handle, a V-shaped block having a spring clamp connected therewith and adapted to secure the block to the handle, the apex of the block being provided with an opening having inclined walls and adapted to serve as a guide for the saw.
3. The combination with an ax and blade therefor, of a V-shaped block provided with a spring member adapted to engage the handle of the ax and secure the block thereto, the said block having its under face provided with projecting spurs adapted to be inserted within the ax handle, the upper edge or apex of the block being provided with an angular cut away portion adapted to serve as a guiding means for the saw.
4. The combination with an ax blade provided with a handle, of a block adapted to be resiliently connected therewith, said block being approximately V-shaped in cross section and having its sides connected with a 5. In a device for the purpose set forth, a f
triangular block having its vertex provided with a cut away portion the said walls of this cut away portion being arranged at an angle to each other, and a resilient clamp detachably connected with the block.
6. In a device for the purpose set forth, a triangular block having its vertex provided with a cut away portion, the walls of which being arranged at angles to each other, and a floor provided by the cut away portion incline in opposite directions from its center to the sides of the block, and a detachably resilient clamp secured upon the block.
`7. In a device for the purpose set forth, a triangular block having its vertex provided with a cut away portion, its underface arcuate and provided with spurs and its sides provided with bores, a resilient clamp constructed of a single piece of material for the block, the Aclamp being provided with a central finger hold having oppositely disposed arcuate arms, extending at an angle from each other, these extending portions being each provided with a series of convolutions, the convolutions adapted to rest upon one face of the triangular block and mem bers extending from these convolutions provided with offsets adapted to engage the bores provided in the sides of the block.
In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
CARY D. BRYANT.
