COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
A Combined Whip and Animal Scraper.
1, HORACE STOKES, Gentleman of Hackettstown in the State of New Jersey,.
United States of America do hereby declare the nature of this invention and
in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement :-
The general object of this invention is to combine in one and the same implement
the functions of an ordinary carriage whip and an animal scraper, which may also.
serve as a hoof cleaner and which can be conveniently carried for use on horses or
other animals.
In the accompanying drawings
Figure 1, represents the sectional view of a portion of a whip showing the
scraper attached thereto by means of a push spring.
Figure 2, represents a similar view showing the scraper attached to the stock by
means of a screw.
Figure 3, represents an edge view of the scraper detached.
Similar letters of referencu indicating corresponding parts in all of the figures.
on the drawings. The letter A designates the upper or lash portion of an ordinary
carriage or other whip of general well-known construction, and B indicates the
stock or handle portion thereof, which is fitted in the end of the stock under the
usual ferrule a with a metallic cylinder C having an annular internal groove D to
engage a push spring b of suitable construction on the proper portion of the handlo
of the scraper E, when the scraper is in position in the whip as shown in Figure 1,.
or the stock portion of the whip may have the metallic cylinder C made with
internal female threads G to engage male screw threads H formed on the proper
portion of the scraper by means of a metallic ring H' or otherwise as shown in.
Figures 2 and 3.
The letter E indicates a scraper and is made of wood gutta percha or other
Buitable material and of any desired or convenient shape, but preferably it is made
with a blade or scraper portion K for insertion in the stock portion of the whip.
and a handle portion L which forms a part of the whip by constituting the handle
thereof when secured in position as shown in Figures 1 and 3.
Tho scraper may be made of any convenient size, straight or curved, but I have.
found in practice that it is better to make it about fourteen inches long and about
one half inch broad.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:-
1. The combination with a hollow whip butt internally threaded of an animal:
scraper provided with a haudle and a screw intermediate the handle, and a thread.
to engage the thread in the butt.
2. The combination with a hollow whip butt provided with an intermediate-
annular groove of an animal scraper having a push spring intermediate the handle
and the blade, and adapted to be connected to the whip butt thereby.
3. An animal scraper having a blade and a handle in combination with a.

whip butt.
