To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JOSEPH T BOUFFORD of Linwood, in the county
of Worcester and state of Massachusetts, have invented a new
and useful Improvement on Scrapers; and I hereby declare that
the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the
same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming
part of this specification.
This invention has reference to an improvement in a tool designed
for use in smoothing or scraping the surfaces of floors and
other woodwork; and it consists in the peculiar and novel construction
of the scraper, as will be more fully set forth hereinafter.
When woodwork, and particularly hard wood, has been brought
to the desired surface and is designed to be varnished, waxed,
or polished, the marks of the plane are removed by a steel plate,
usually held by the hands of the user.
In finishing the surfaces of floors and other woodwork the scraping
with the usual steel plate in very fatiguing.
To facilitate the use of the scraper is the object of this invention.
Figure 1 is a side view of my improved scraper. Fig. 2 is a
top view, and Fig. 3 an end view, of the same. Fig 4 is a front
view of the scraper-plate, and Fig. 5 is a sectional view of
the scraper.
In the drawings, A indicates a preferably rectangular bar having
the handle a at one end and the bevel end a1 at the opposite
end. Near the lower edge of the beveled end a1 the pins
a2 are secured in the bar A so as to project slightly
about the surface and enter the slot b3 to prevent the
side movement of the plate B. |
